How would you like to…

• Build beautiful planners
• Monetize your ideas
• Create a side-hustle you love
• Finally afford that fancy vacation you’ve been dreaming about
• Have the ability to work from wherever
• Gain the freedom to make your own hours
• Define success on your own terms
• Start and grow a business that gives you freedom
• Design your dream life

Anything is possible

Have you ever thought

“Hey, I could make one so much better than this.” Or maybe you thought….

• I really wish they hadn’t squeezed the entire week onto one page
• Only a shrunk-down version of the Ant-Man could write in lines this tiny
• This is no longer fits my lifestyle or helps me to achieve my goals
• Why is there a note about exercise everyday but not a H2O intake tracker?
• Where is my Notes section?
• Why did they ruin it with these bizarrely ugly colors?
• Why don’t they offer an option to customize the cover & inserts?
• Why are the tab dividers so huge?

Hiring a Designer isn’t a magic bullet solution:

• Exorbitantly Expensive  Would I even make back my initial investment?
• Project Delays Ummm, thanks for delivering the final design in February after the year has already passed and planners are on sale for 80% off
• Wrong Design The final end product looked nothing like I described – was the designer even listening during our discovery call?

But DIY-ing it all alone came with a whole other set of problems:

• Canva, Word, Excel and Powerpoint had so many limitations on layout designs and it was frustrating trying to design on them
• Adobe InDesign was really the only solution that would work but every time I opened it, I was so overwhelmed, I wanted to cry

If you’re on this page (and look! You ARE) chances are HIGH that like me, you’ve discovered the same thing…

• You’re ready to monetize your great ideas, but you’re struggling to create the perfect planner
• What you’ve penciled out on paper looks nothing like the luxurious & high-end beautiful layout you know you can build
• Or maybe you’re the exact opposite of that and all of your hand-drawn Bullet Journals are totally Instagram-worthy and now you’re ready to digitize your beautiful designs into a beautiful planner to share with the world
• What you need is someone to help you DIY your ideas into something Instagram-worthy
• You need someone to show you how to do it Page-by-blank-white-page

Make Your Dreams A Reality – I can help!

• Want to finally afford that dream vacation? Done!
• Want the ability to work from wherever? Done!
• Want the freedom to make your own hours? Done!

And the best part?

You’re in charge of your own success – anything is possible once you know how to create + sell your own planners!

Why You Need To Create & Sell Planners

• MAKE YOUR OWN HOURS Because it will buy you freedom to make your own hours.
• REMODEL YOUR HOME So you can afford that kitchen remodel you’ve been wanting: Granite countertops and marble flooring? Go for it!
• SHOWCASE YOUR CREATIVITY TO THE WORLD Dream. Create. Live.
• SPA DAY Because it will allow you to upgrade your current lifestyle: Hello spa days & maid service!
• YOU’RE THE BOSS So you can be in charge of your own future: Didn’t get that raise or promotion at the office? Who cares? You get to decide how much your income will be this year.
• PASSIVE INCOME So you can make money 24/7! imagine waking up to find out you’ve made your entire month’s rent while you were sleeping?
• FOLLOW YOUR PASSION So you can do what you love. You were going to create and dream about planners anyway so why not make some extra $$ while you do!
• BE THE #1 BREADWINNER So you can save the day in your household and pay next month’s bills: Unexpected HVAC repairs for the home? No problem!
