Amazon communities all over the interwebs have been abuzz about creating private label products. Private labeling on Amazon can be lucrative, but there’s a reason I created my first full-on, authentic private label product only after ten years of running an Amazon business online.

Do you want to be better than you were in 2020? If you do, merely reading self-help books will not magically improve your life and business. Putting into practice the knowledge you’ve gathered is critical to personal growth. That is why the next step of the P.L.A.N Blue Print - Apply - follows Learn: because if we don’t do anything with the new information we receive, we’ll forever get stuck in research mode.

Welcome to 2021! If you’re like me, you’ve probably heaved a sigh of relief the moment the calendar hit January 1. As we leave 2020 behind us, it’s important that we take it's lessons with us. Learning, after all, is part of growth - and it’s also the second step in the P.L.A.N. Blue Print.

And what’s a better way to inspire us for the new year than to design an 'In a Perfect World' scenario? As the year (finally) comes to a close, I invite you all to create a blueprint of your life, for the sky's the...

Being aware of our tendency to overthink is one of the most...
