a little gratitude

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader, and welcome to February,

This week, I’ve spent a lot of time gathering all my tax stuff for my accountant. Spoiler alert: I haven’t enjoyed it.

Anyway…

I’d like to spend the rest of this week focusing more on gratitude. I started my business six years ago, and so many amazing things have happened that I don’t spend enough time being grateful for.

Amazing things like…

Writing websites that led to business owners feeling so good about their business that THEY GOT MORE BUSINESS!

Writing a book that people are still raving about 2+ years later.

Coaching writers (some business owners, many not) publish their work in various forms, including books, blogs, and newsletters.

Meeting Rebecca Gold, who helped me develop as a writing coach by co-teaching in her Write Here Write Now program.

And, of course, you Reader. Having you on this email list. Hearing back from other subscribers and having a direct line to readers, students/customers, and other lovers of the written word…

Wow, I love it so much. Consider this a personal thank you from me to you. I’m so grateful to have you in my world.

I really love writing for and with people, and I love having you here with me while I do it.

That’s all for today. Talk to you next week.

Best,

P.S. What are you grateful for this week? It could be business-related or not. I’d just love to hear from you. Hit reply and let me know. I’m a unicorn…I answer all my emails personally!

Hi Reader, Last week, I gave you something to listen to on your summer travels. This week, I’m coming in with something to read. Because at some point, you will find yourself: stuck in an airport lounge sitting in the car while everyone else runs in “real quick” or hiding in the bathroom for a few blessed minutes of quiet while someone yells, “WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY??” And when that moment comes… you’ll want something easy. — I’ve pulled together a handful of my favorite writing...

The details are here

Hi Reader, Last week I mentioned that I was bringing back one of my most popular offers. Here's why people love it. Most business owners have a collection of writing projects that live in a strange middle ground. They're important enough to stay on the list, but not urgent enough to get done. Over time, those projects begin to pile up. The website doesn't quite reflect where the business is today. Marketing materials need attention. Opportunities come along that require a stronger bio, a...

I'm bringing something back this summer

Hi Reader, Most business owners have a collection of writing projects that live in a strange middle ground. They're important enough to stay on the list, but not urgent enough to get done. Over time, those projects begin to pile up. The website doesn't quite reflect where the business is today. Marketing materials need attention. Opportunities come along that require a stronger bio, a better LinkedIn profile, or a clearer way of talking about what you do. That's why one of my most popular...
