January goals won't make you successful...


The Content Compass ๐Ÿงญ


It's the first full week of the year and I won't be planning my goals. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Thanks so much though!

Instead, I'm trying to get back 'into the swing of things' (ew) and spend my January prepping for an epic February and rest of year. Here's why I think you should, too:

In case you missed the news, January goals are BS.

I believe that starting your goals in January will actually set you up for failure and throw long-term success out the window. Sorry not sorry. (Actually, I'm not that sorry. 80% of people quit their goals by Feb, HMM I WONDER WHY).

Now is not the time to be starting new routines if you want to take them seriously.
โ€‹
It is instead the time to give yourself grace during this period of going from holidays right back into work. It's such a slap in the face actually.
โ€‹
It's likely that your email has just blown up, everything feels urgent, there is zero protein in your refrigerator, and there are piles of laundry waiting for you.
โ€‹
Now is not the time to start the new routines. Now is the time to survive, reflect, and make space for what can come next.
โ€‹
I'm a huge believer that the best time to start was 20 years ago, and the second best time to start is now. But I am carefully selecting my now based on the life events I am experiencing.
โ€‹
That doesn't mean I'm pushing anything off. It means I'm allowing myself the space to be successful. So here's to January where we build our systems that allow us to crush our new goals with ease.

Happy New Year and Happy Re-New Year on Feb 1! ๐Ÿฅณ

โ€‹What's New On the Podcast๐Ÿ‘‡

We've just hit 20k downloads!!

I can't even count that high! It's always weird to me when strangers on the internet tell me 'thanks for being here' but I mean it. When I launched this show I didn't think anyone would listen but here we are filling a small stadium with listeners! I'm very thankful that you've tuned in week after week.

What I've got for you hot off the press is an episode all about CREATOR SALES PSYCHOLOGY. I love this stuff and I just know you will too. Thank you Sam from Nomad Copy for guiding me get through this one!

Ok Wanna Plan Your Feb Goals?๐Ÿ‘‡

Me and my fellow creators in the Travel Creator Biz Plan are setting ourselves up for a successful Feb and beyond during an upcoming goals strategy session. Come join us with a beverage (or three, I won't judge you) as we get specific, clear, and plan for a year of LESS but BETTER.

The Content Compass ๐Ÿงญ I've decided to make things stupid simple this year. ๐Ÿ‘‡ I want to be as real with you as possible so that you can see what's working and what's not in the creator biz space. Making tiny progress in a bunch of different directions isn't going to help me or anyone I serve. So, for the rest of the year I will only be prompting my community and a $5 lead magnet. For the next 60-90 days I'll be promoting this brand new $5 lead mag on Threads and in the podcast and I guess here...

Tools Every Travel Creator Should Use.๐Ÿ‘‡ These are tools I use on the daily, weekly, and monthly. Bento Bento is an automated pitching tool I use to send anywhere from 400-600 UGC pitch emails per month. It's quite literally working when I'm not. Here's exactly how much I've earned from using Bento so far. If you want to try it yourself, reply to this email and I'll send you a discount code. Airtable Here's why I use Airtable over Google Sheets: It can do more than just make more spreadsheets....

The Content Compass ๐Ÿงญ But WTF is less but better?๐Ÿ‘‡ I've chatted with a few creators who have noticed that their analytics have been on the rise since they've been posting less content. What's really going on when they are posting less is that they are putting more time into crafting well done pieces of content that really check all their boxes. Rather than posting some video they feel medium about just because there are hundreds of people on the internet who tell you you have to post five...
