This CHANGED everything...


Happy Monday. Where I'm living right now, you can really feel that spring is right around the corner. For Rick, he's watching the ice of the lakes and is eager for the first bit of open water so he can hit the lakes and start fishing again.

But today, I wanted to share what I hinted at in my subject line. For me, learning how to build websites using WordPress changed everything for me and I mean that literally.

When I learned how to use WordPress, I was no longer tied to waiting on someone else to create my vision. I could dive in and do what I wanted on my website.

Creating my first website gave me a peek into the freedom I desired, though I didn't really know it at the time.

When I look back to 2006, when I first started to learn how to create websites and discovered WordPress, I didn't know that it would lead me to where I am today. Once I mixed in the fun of email marketing and adding a shopping cart to my website I was set to create the lifestyle business I desired, and I discovered a skill that I could offer my clients, which eventually led to what I do now, focusing on website maintenance and security.

Now, you don't need to go the route I did with WordPress, but know how to really leverage and use WordPress is a skill set any business owner can benefit from. When you have the skills to go in edit and make changes to your website, the world expands.

I still recommend that you have an expert manage the security because that's a whole different thing, but creating your sales pages, updating your home page, adding in new opt ins or offers means you can do things on your time on your terms.

Until Friday, you can get my Build Your Website Course for 50% off, this means you can get started for just $50 on the payment plan.

'til next time...

I’ve been enjoying 3 glorious days on my own in our little apartment. Rick has been at the BC Outdoors show this weekend and staying at his friend's place during that time. I had a wonderful breakfast with an old friend (who is local as well, YAY!) and we realized we need to do more things together without the “boys”. I had planned on doing some work on Friday, but instead I spend a blissful 4 hours on the couch reading. Another strong reminder I need to do more of that. I"m finishing up,...

If you celebrate a Happy St. Patrick’s Day, the day when the beer turns green, Irish Stew is on the menu, and you get pinched if you’re not wearing green. I guess I’m lucky since I’m staying home today and won’t have to worry about that. Today, I wanted to touch on something that seems to have stirred something up for others. Yesterday, I shared how my promotion of my Build Your Website course didn’t make a single sale last week, and yet I still made money because I was showing up. I also...

Here we are rolling through March, we had a lot of spring like weather here and then the last few nights we have had snow overnight, which then disappears as the sun comes up and warms everything up. Last week I was running a sale on my Build Your Website course, and I’m going to be vulnerable here, as this isn’t something I usually share. I didn’t make a single sale on that course last week. Which has me wondering what wasn’t working - was it my sales page, not the right time, the emails?...
