Hi ,

I'd say about half the business owners I know need to take a moment right now. The past 12 months have been a hard slog, many of your tried and true business systems are changing which requires learning how to maneuver through the changes, spring is around the corner and that's got everyone on edge and ready to get outdoors.

A few days ago I met my moment, too. Trying to record a quickie video that I normally could do in 5 minutes took me 5 tries because of a software change, two of my business systems increased in price, and my new iPhone refused to recognize my face.

So the first find that can help you in March is this - when you need moment, no matter how busy you are, take a moment. Or a half day. Or a full day! Bill and I cancelled everything yesterday and headed off to one of the nearby Florida state parks to explore and take photographs of what we could find - including a cottony white immature stork and a dragonfly poised daintily on top of a flower. After half a day of it I came home refused and with new ideas for business, too! Creative spirits and driving spirits need to refuel and step into a different energy now and then. Do it!

My second find to help you is a cool little tool called Soovle. Enter any topic and it will immediately tell you what searches on that topic have taken place on Google, Bing, Amazon, Etsy, YouTube and more. It's a free tool and quick to use. Great for getting content ideas and seeing what people are asking about your topics.

I think it's critically important to have more than one source of income online, so I'm always encouraging you to create digital products and share all your wonderful expertise. It also helps establish you as a credible expert, by the way. So my third find is to point you to my friend Cindy Bidar's Lightning Fast Launches. It's designed to help you create a small, profitable digital product in days (not weeks or months), and right now you can snap it up at a sweet price. (That's my affiliate link.)

Cindy's even included email templates you can copy and paste, along with dozens of other marketing ideas you can use to get the word out. 

All 3 of these little finds can help you feel freer, fresher, and richer right now, in March. I highly recommended trying out all of them. Changing things up is both fun and good for us now and then, especially when we feel spring coming on.

Enjoy your weekend!
