After running a successful website design business, selling hundreds of blog templates on Etsy, launching ebooks + courses, and teaching over 7,000 students to growth their blog, social media, and email list, she’s learned a few things about where people get stuck/stalled/stressed out and how to get them growing again.

My favorite quotes from Sarah:
“I’m very focused. I do just the tasks that are in my schedule and add everything else that comes up later in the month or week.”
“I’m big on weeding out the things that aren’t bringing results.”
“Experiment. Figure out if it works. If it does, keep doing it. If it doesn’t, cross it off and be done.”
“You don’t need to do extra work that isn’t going to be a lot of
value to your readers, your students, your clients.”
“You gotta screw it up a little to figure out what works and find
some success.”
“Focus on the stuff that actually brings in results.”
