In March of 2021 I was diagnosed with Stage 4: Colon Cancer. And of course this was shocking and it’s something I’m dealing with to this day. But I will say, this diagnosis has changed my life in more ways than one and one of ways is in my business productivity!
My New Insight
I thought I would share with you one of the insights that I’ve really picked up on and that has been extremely helpful to me!
Some days I have more energy than others and I spend a lot of time working at my natural protocols to support my health on this journey. With that in mind when I do have a block of time or as I like to call them now ‘Life Blocks’ because I’m giving up a part of my life for that time, I’m really good at focusing and getting productive results.
In the past, I was too scattered with so many interests and I would get excited about so many thingsall at once making it hard to focus!
I was also one of those people, and you may relate to this, who thought I had to learn more, understand everything, take the next course, the next summit, go and get the next accreditation, and on and on it went before I could take action on something or promote anything. And now I realize how crazy that was!
Just pick something and focus and apply yourself even if it’s just for 15 minutes!
You Just Have to do Something
This has been a game-changer for me!! And in more ways than one! It is so FREEING! I am getting huge results with small focused efforts. I don’t waste any time worrying, pondering, or overthinking anymore because I am too busy doing!
“Screw it. Just do it!
I hope that you found this helpful and that you can incorporate this into your life before it becomes a necessity like it did with me. The other thing that happens when you are diagnosed with what they say “is an incurable illness” you don’t care so much about all the details and what people think! It’s much easier to go full speed ahead and I wish I had been more like this earlier in the game.
Have a great day everyone!

In business and in life we often want to ‘be in control’, but it is much better to be in alignment and aligned with our purpose.
Being in alignment means that we allow things to come to us that fit and match our purpose and mission. We trust that if we are clear in our vision and in our hearts, the rest will follow.
It is hard to try and control everything. Being in alignment is so much easier!
Align with who you are and with what your business is and offers.
An easy way to practice alignment is to serve others and then the magic happens. When we go forth with the intention to ‘serve others’ alignment happens almost on auto pilot because we are in align with serving our customers and clients.
“Limit your ‘always’ and your ‘nevers’ – Andy Pochler
A great point! ā¦.. especially for those of us who are entrepreneurs and passion seekers.
Things are always changing and technologies are always advancing too! This is the whole fun of thingsā¦. nothing stays the same. We need to ebb and flow as we go along.
The secret is to be open minded, unlimited in our thinking, and ready to receive the new that comes our way.
After all we can always adjust our sails along the way if we try new things and find they don’t serve us…. but we will never know until we try. š Never say Never…
“Do not be embarrassed by your failures. Learn from them and start again.”
Failure IS the way to success š And the sooner we realize it, the faster we get to where we want to go!
I don’t even like to call them failures, but more-so discovering ways that are not the best or ideal way which leads me to the VERY BEST WAY to do things. As the saying goes “Fail your way to success”!
I know one thing for certain in business. It is never a straight line from A to Z! There will be detours, bumps in the road, and more. And sometimes we have to abandon ship and start over. It is just the way of it and it is beautiful. Which brings to mind another old saying that I love:

Maggie does regular blogging classes with small groups of people and here are the details about the classes….
Your Own Blog Up & Running in 4 Weeks
Do you have a message to share? Or do you just want to express yourself in some way?
Maybe you love to cook and you want to share your excitement and enJOYment of it. Or maybe you know a lot about a certain topic like fixing old motors or lawn equipment and you would like to share what you know to help others and make the world a better place. š
Or perhaps you are a small business owner or solopreneur who wants to get your message out there and brand yourself more….. Or maybe you want to eventually monetizeĀ aka make moneyĀ from the information you know.
Whether you want to share information for fun or for business or both, blogging is a perfect way to share what you know!
I have found blogging to be one of the most powerful and effective ways to reach my target audiences, create value for myself and my businesses, and to get people to Know, Like and Trust me.
I am forever on Zoom networking events where people are asking about how they can expand their business reach and get their company’s message out there? And I always offer the suggestion of blogging! Blogging has been a huge catalyst in my various businesses and has given me a lot of personal satisfaction as well. I love that I am able to express myself in my blogs and to use my creativity.
Starting a blog might be exactly what you are looking for!
There are countless and unlimited reasons to blog and there is no right or wrong reason for it. A blog is simply an online journal of some sort that shares information. And you can blog about whatever you want when you want!
My Four Week Course to Help YOU Launch YOUR Blog!
A small group of soon to be Bloggers will spend 4 weeks with me on Zoom classes for 1.5 hours each week. If you are one of them, you will learn everything you need to know to start a blog and get it up and running…. right from the name of your blog to where to start your blog online. You will also develop your reason why you are blogging and the theme of your blog. You will take your blogging from ‘just an idea that I might want to start a blog’ to having an official blog up and running!
In between classes we will connect, share and learn in a private Facebook group to help us implement everything that everyone is learning and to trouble shoot any challenges. This group is also a great support network and very often meaningful relationships are formed through it.
Dates For The Class
Dates are determined by the group once we have a few people interested in the class. I very much like to customize and match the needs of my students.
Cost:
$147 US for the entire courseĀ with a full money-back guarantee.Ā Complete my course and if forĀ ANYĀ reason, you do not feel it was valuable, your money back guaranteed! Youāve truly got nothing to lose, but everything to gain. Think of where this could go!
What Former Students Have Had to Say:
“The course was very rewarding and able to get me pumped up about blogging and my business.”
After 1 Week: “This course so far has taken the mystery out of blogging for me. It has already taken me over the hump and has been pivotal. It has been the key for me to becoming confident about starting a blog!”
“I was afraid of blogging but Maggie has simplified it and makes it possible for anyone to do.”
“I am a factual and hands on person and I loved how Maggie had us write some sample blog posts and then critiqued them with some suggestions that really opened my mind up to even more possibilities.”
So there you have it. If you have any questions or would like to discuss joining an upcoming class please feel free to reach out.
