The Quiet Rebel Reading Room

If you celebrate a Happy St. Patrick’s Day, the day when the beer turns green, Irish Stew is on the menu, and you get pinched if you’re not wearing green. I guess I’m lucky since I’m staying home today and won’t have to worry about that. Today, I wanted to touch on something that seems to have stirred something up for others. Yesterday, I shared how my promotion of my Build Your Website course didn’t make a single sale last week, and yet I still made money because I was showing up. I also…

I’ve been thinking a lot about freedom and especially how it relates to creating a business and living a life. As the algorithms would have it, I’d also start to think that it’s all anyone is talking about. So many people in my sphere (or silo – all depending on how you look at it) are talking about freedom in some form or another. This got me thinking, I think so many people are talking about freedom and specifically how it relates to creating your own form of lifestyle freedom, because now…

One task I have on my task list for the day is to sit down and write. That writing is often, what is sent to you as my morning musing. Not every day, but most days it goes like this: I sit down at my desk, take a few breaths, and then write. I write to see what bubbles up and if a message or an idea presents itself. I share what is happening in my business, the fun things I’m doing and even the struggles that come up as a solo business owner. In one of the groups, I’m in on Facebook, there…

There’s a trend in online business: real products and memberships for under $10 a month. Here are four worth a look, including the ones I pay for.

Happy Monday, We had a great visit with the KID yesterday it was nice to have some time to spend with him to catch up in person. Since we started our nomadic journey, we don’t see him as much as we use to. Guess that’s what happens when you leave and have him take over the rental of the house we were living in! LOL! Anyway, I’ve been busy getting things ready for a new offer I am planning to share with you in the next few days. It’s will be an incredible deal for a special coaching offer, I’m…

I was reviewing a coaching program that I though was interesting and might help me with where I want to go in the coming months, but then I looked at what was included: 4 – 30 minutes 1 to 1 calls per month and a group call. I closed the document as soon as a read that. I knew it wasn’t for me. I don’t mind video, but usually as a response to a question from a client. As I got older and fully realized my true introverted nature, I really started to see how exhausted I was after any kind of…

Oh boy, this morning has been filled with a bunch of squirrel tasks. I had intentions to write my morning musing about something completely different (it’s started, and I’ll send it another day), but here’s how things went down… I sat down at my computer, started to write my morning musing, then I had to look something up to reference in that morning musing. Opened my email, saw a message from an old client that needed some help – decided to reply. You know, if you can do it in 2 minutes or…

Late in the afternoon yesterday, I got a pretty negative email in response to what I shared in yesterday. It was one among many positive and thoughtful responses I have received recently. I didn’t reply to the email because I knew from the opening sentence that this person wasn’t really wanting to receive a response, so I took a look saw they had unsubscribed and let it go. There was a time when that would have thrown me for a loop, but now I smile and say thank you for helping to filter out…

I am feeling so much better after last week. I know now it’s important to ensure I keep doing what I’m doing and sharing what I feel and know to help other Gen X women find their voice, create their own independence. Building a business or a side hustle is the best way to independence. It gives control over your financial independence, and it gives you control over how you choose to live your life. I am fully and completely unemployable and I have been for 16 years, having my own lifestyle…

Yesterday, I shared what was weighing on me and I am so grateful for those of you who reached out to shared your thoughts and concerns on what is happening in the world. I know, now MORE THAN EVER it is critical and important to each of us to speak our truths and what is important to us. It’s also just as important to take time to try and understand those who don’t see things the way you may see things. I personally see a threat to women’s rights and autonomy, but others don’t see it that…
