Weekly Habits That Help Me Grow My $8mil+ Business

What actually fueled my $300k week

​I had a blast these past few weeks — and not just because I had another $300k+ 4-day launch (my second in 8 months!).

I had fun because:

A. I love what I do, and ​

B. of what I did offline last week, not on it.

I went for walks with Huddy (my bernedoodle) through the park, cooked chili the moment temps dipped below 60 degrees, and went to a fundraiser tasting pistachio chocolate just shipped in from Paris, while sipping local blueberry wine.

I’m not saying you can run a launch like that just by walking around the park and cuddling your dog on the couch.

​My team and I worked our tushes off for months to pull that off.

I just know now that what I do offline impacts my business’ bottom line just as much as what I do online.

Trust me, I learned the hard way.

After I had brain surgery and my dad was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018, my health took a hit.

Between the constant neck and shoulder pain that plagued me for years post-op and the constant stress of caring for a terminally ill parent, I couldn’t sleep.

Sleepless nights led to empty-stomach, coffee-fueled mornings, high-intensity workouts for “stress management,” afternoon crashes from all the caffeine, under-eating, overeating,… the list went on.

When both of my parents died two years ago, my body sputtered to a stop.​

The circles under my eyes were so dark they looked like tarmac skid marks.

Honestly, I’m not sure how I kept this business going while going through what I did.

​People ask me all the time “how I did it,” and the honest answer is:

I’ve been through so much trauma in my life (if you read my book, you know) that my body, nervous system, and mind sadly feel at home in chaos, dysfunction, and under 24-7 threat.

That might have been how I was used to surviving — but especially after their deaths, it wasn’t how I wanted to, anymore.

So after settling into the initial grief cave I let myself curl up into, this year I was ready to start digging my way out.​

I started working on sleeping through the night, eating enough (good) food, and moving my body in a healthier, more supportive way.​

It’s been about six months since I started putting serious effort towards getting better, and I still have a way to go.

Thankfully, and most importantly, I’ve started feeling a lot better.

While not my goal, taking care of myself has also had a huge impact on my business:

I’ve had two $300k launches in the last 8 months.​
