πŸͺœ I made a ladder!! FROM SCRATCH!

Published 8 months agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

I built and painted a blanket ladder from scratch this weekend. And no, this isn't a metaphor for something business related.

Literally. Drilled, glued, painted. A blanket ladder.

Proof:

Okay fine. There's a business lesson here.

Honestly, one of the best things I do for my business is step away from it. When you are thinking about content constantly, and spending more time forcing your next post or topic for your podcast or newsletter, you end up feeling more stressed, more overwhelmed and uninspired.

Take the break for creative sparks.

In this case, the 3+ hour workshop meant I was hands-on, thinking about measuring and drilling and assembly.

Not everything has to be for anything other than enjoyment (and in this case, furniture making).

So if you've been struggling with your content, you know that I'll recommend strategy and goal-setting to start.

But if all of that feels like walking through mud, step back. Take a break and remind yourself why you are doing what you do.

p.s. Black Friday is coming up. Stick with me and the extra emails ;)

Once again, I've put together a series of offers beginning next week. This is one of the only times I offer discounts like these on some of my offers, and some of the deals are completely new and may not be offered again. It's a great time to get the support you need to end the year or begin 2026 with confidence that content will be less stress and I hope we have the chance to work together!

I do NOT like guessing about Black Friday deals, so here's the honest peek at what's coming so you can plan your favourite days or ask questions so you don't feel pressured.

December 1st?? I'm not sure how to feel about this. But I can tell you that as we wind down 2025 (this year was...interesting) it's a good time to reflect and look ahead when it comes to our businesses, and of course content. I've spoken with a lot of business owners lately who just feel done with social media and the constant pressures of marketing. It doesn't mean they are quitting it (there can be a lot of benefits of course), but there's a lot of reduction of time. Which means the need...

Should we talk about the fact that it's November and October disappeared so quickly we can hardly believe it? Maybe? The past many weeks have been hectic around here, filled with baseball, business and bon bons (I wanted to mention Halloween but keep up with the alliteration). I have been attending many events and as a content strategist, nothing gives me better data about what is happening on the ground for small business owners than being in person. We can scroll through Threads and our...
