I love the fresh start, but if you’re like me, you stack up all sorts of great ideas…

And then immediately get overwhelmed. Where do I start? 

With Just One Thing. 

One thing on your plate for the week that you can accomplish. One change, one targeted activity, one step on the levelling up staircase. 

That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce our “Just One Thing” focus in our weekly newsletters. This method is all about simplicity and effectiveness. Each week, we’ll focus on just one actionable tip to help you refine your craft, level up your marketing strategies, manage your time better, or boost your business skills.

 Why “Just One Thing”?

• Simplicity and Focus: By zeroing in on just one specific area each week, we cut through the noise. This makes our goals clearer and our actions more focused.
• Achievable Milestones: Small steps are easier to manage and far less daunting, making success not just a possibility but a certain outcome.
• Build Lasting Habits: With each week focusing on a new single aspect, we slowly build solid habits that stick, paving the way for sustained success.
• Customized Learning: Each tip is chosen to cater to the diverse needs and goals within our community, making each piece of advice relevant and directly applicable.

Stick with me, and we’ll get stuff done.

And this week’s ONE THING? 

Let’s start by finding a word or theme that you want to define, give it focus and energy. And maybe just focus on this month. Or even this 90-day sprint. 

My word is Alignment. 

Alignment with my commitments and values. 

• How do all the things I do align with all the things I value? 
• And how do I structure my day to get those things done? (
• By the way, if you aren’t familiar with Values-based Planning, let me introduce you to our My Story Matters: My Brilliant Writing Planner.

So, what is your ONE WORD focus for the rest of 2025? 

You can do this! Go write something brilliant!
