It’s easy to get caught up in big New Year's resolutions for your business:
"This is the year I’ll double my income!"
"This year I'll finally launch that course!"
"This year I'll grow my email list to 10,000 subscribers!"

While big goals can be exciting, they often lead to overwhelm — especially if you're building your business part-time, alongside a job, family, and real life.

Here’s the good news:
👉 You don’t need a giant, detailed annual plan to make real progress.
👉 You just need a focused, practical 90-day action plan — something achievable that fits into your life (and actually gets results).

In this post, I’ll walk you through how to create your 90-Day Part-Time Profit Plan for 2026 — step-by-step.

Let's make this your most focused, successful year yet — without the burnout.

The holiday season is filled with opportunity — but if you’re already balancing a day job, family time, and a part-time business, the idea of running a full-on holiday launch might sound completely overwhelming.

Here’s the good news:
👉 You don't have to go all-in with a massive, complicated campaign.
👉 You can absolutely run a simple, low-stress holiday promo that boosts your revenue without taking over your life.

In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to create a stress-free holiday promo plan designed specifically for part-time entrepreneurs — so you can make extra income while still enjoying your holidays.

The end of the year is one of the biggest opportunities to boost your revenue — even if you’re running your business part-time.

But if you’re already feeling busy with family events, work responsibilities, and a never-ending to-do list, the idea of pulling off a full holiday launch might feel… impossible.

Here’s the good news:
👉 You don’t need a massive campaign, a giant new product, or a complicated launch plan.
👉 A quick holiday offer can generate extra income and attract new customers — without overwhelming you or your schedule.

In this post, I’ll show you exactly why (and how) you should launch a simple holiday offer this year — even if you feel like you barely have time to breathe.

If you’ve ever joined an email list and immediately been hit with a dozen sales emails, you know what pushy marketing feels like — and you probably don’t want to be that person.

But here’s the good news:
👉 You can build an email funnel that feels helpful, natural, and even enjoyable for your subscribers — while still leading them to buy your products.
👉 You don’t need complicated tech setups, expensive software, or a 30-email sequence to make it happen.

In this post, I’ll show you how to set up a simple welcome funnel that sells without feeling salesy — perfect for part-time entrepreneurs, hobby-based businesses, and anyone starting small.

When it comes to selling your digital products, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the advice out there.

One expert says you need a 5,000-word sales page.
Another says you need dozens of testimonials.
Someone else insists you must have video, countdown timers, bonus stacks, and 27 different urgency tactics.

It’s no wonder so many part-time entrepreneurs and hobby-based business owners feel stuck!

Here’s the truth:
👉 You don’t need a complicated, fancy sales page to make your first (or next) sales.
👉 You just need a simple page that covers the five core things your buyer needs to feel confident saying yes.

In this post, I’ll show you the five essential elements every high-converting sales page has — no copywriting degree required.
(And yes, you can set this up even with limited time, tech skills, or experience.)

If you’ve been dreaming about making extra income from your hobby but feel overwhelmed by everything you could create, I get it.

Courses, memberships, coaching programs — it’s easy to get stuck thinking you need to build a huge offer right out of the gate.

Here’s the truth:
👉 You don’t need something massive to get started.
👉 You don’t need to spend months building behind the scenes.

You can launch your first profitable digital product in just 30 days — even working part-time.

In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly what kind of product to create, why it works, and how to keep it simple so you can launch fast (and learn while you earn).

If you’ve been trying to grow your email list and feel like you’re stuck, you’re not alone.

A lot of the common advice out there sounds something like this:

“Run Facebook ads!" or "Join a giant bundle or summit!"

And while those strategies can work, they usually require a hefty budget, tons of time, or a large audience you might not have yet — especially if you're building your business part-time.

The good news?

You can absolutely grow a high-quality, highly engaged email list without paid ads or mega-collaborations.

You just need to know where to look (and what to focus on).

In this post, I’ll show you exactly where to find your ideal subscribers — even if you're short on time, new to list building, or juggling this alongside a busy life.

It’s easy to get swept up in the daily to-do list—laundry, emails, errands—while the big, meaningful stuff quietly slips to the back burner.

You know, the things you’ve always said you’d do someday.

That’s what a bucket list is for—not just writing down dreams, but creating space for them in your real life. And in this post, we're going to help you do exactly that.

If you've ever made a list and lost it, gotten overwhelmed halfway through, or just never started, this guide is for you.
