How to SUCCESSFULLY Launch Any Project

This blog is sponsored but all opinions are my own.

Over the past 30 days, I’ve been sharing content on my Twitter page some key take aways from the book Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers by Russell Brunson. For me this book came right on time. I was so excited to read it because as I mentioned in our marriage podcast, my husband and I plan on writing our first book in July. So as I was reading this, I thought about how we had some many key things to do to make sure we were launching our book correctly. It has really highlighted the key areas where I was not thinking right. I am so glad to share this book with you!

Russell Brunson is a Best-Selling Author & CEO of $100M software company ClickFunnels. He has built a following of over a million entrepreneurs, sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books and popularized the concept of sales funnels. In 2014, Russell and partner Todd Dickerson launched ClickFunnels, which became the fastest-growing non-venture backed software company in the world. 

One of my favorite parts in the book is when Russell is talking about how to create content for a whole year. He mentions that you need to learn to document and not feel the pressure to create. He also mentions if you do something for a whole year, you will never have to worry about money. This is so key when you are laughing something. People to need to hear from you. Also, this was something I personally was thinking about when he mentioned creating content consistently. I immediately asked myself what in the world am I going to create everyday. When he mentioned documenting, I realize that is what I have been doing all along, just documenting my journey. I just wasn’t doing it everyday. This is certainly something I’m thinking about. I can’t decide on if I’m going to write everyday or if I’m going to do a podcast. I think I’ve settle on a podcast but I have to figure out what angle I want to come form. I’m excited to continue to implement his secrets from the book. He certainly knows what he is talking about.

The biggest problem that most entrepreneurs have isn’t creating an amazing product or service; it’s getting their future customers to discover that they even exist. Every year, tens of thousands of businesses start and fail because the entrepreneurs don’t understand this one essential skill: the art and science of getting consumers to find you.

I would not recommend Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers by Russell Brunson if I did not think it could help you tremendously. I truly do think he has written something we ALL could us at one point or another. Get the book by going HERE

The FINAL Week and PUSH Through for Project Baby Weight-loss

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

This is the last week of the operation baby weight-loss and honestly, last week I fell off a little bit due to it being my husbands birthday and then Fathers Day celebrations. I have however realized that this is something I will continue FOREVER. Now that I am over the accelerator phase, it makes things SO MUCH easier and I’m still seeing the weight loss fall off.

I’m starting over on July 1st because I am sorta needing the new start without missing a beat. I also realized, that even if a holiday comes up in the future, I don’t have to stop the process. This diet or like I call it, lifestyle change, allows you to have cheat days! One of the things that has helped me has been cooking the food in advance like on Sunday. This way, I know my dinner is already ready and all I have to focus on is cooking for my kids or husband. Thats the other surprising thing, they have been eating with me 50% of the time. Some of the recipes even toddlers like! At least my toddlers. :-)

It also allows you to eat carbs and I love me some carbs! Check out this quote below!

“Having carbs in the evening is also a great weight loss strategy. When you’re active, your body burns mainly carbohydrates and muscle glycogen for energy. By eating carbs at night, you allow your body to use them to restore glycogen for energy the next day and provide your body with the glucose it needs to regulate your blood sugar levels during sleep.”

Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion is now available to purchase. 

The Always Eat After 7 PM plan consists of: The 14-day Acceleration Phase to kick-start the program and see rapid results, The Main Phase where you’ll learn exactly which foods to eat when in order to achieve your weight-loss goals, The Lifestyle Phase to keep the weight off for good

More Energy, Better Sleep and Losing Baby Weight

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

First of all, I’ve had the same goal on my calendar every month since January and that was to lose the baby weight. My husband and I are trying for our third and last child, but I did not want to go into getting pregnant will my fluctuating weight issues. One minute I would be exactly where I wanted to be only to gain it all back over a few weeks. It’s been so frustrating.

So not only is the book helping me in that aspect, I actually LOVE the recipes they offer in the back of the book as well. My favorite is the pork lettuce tacos for sure! So yummy!

I couldn’t have asked for this to come at a better time. I’m super excited about finally getting this weight off. Just to update you, I am 5 pounds down as I am going into my third week. I did not follow the diet exactly, but I plan on doing that starting next Monday. Everything else has been so awesome and I’m excited to see what I look like on my birthday later this month! Yay! Super excited!

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book:

• “Research shows that the average person’s metabolic rate is no different during sleep than during the day. In short, your metabolism doesn’t slow down at night. Nor does your body store fat at the end of the day. Whether it’s 8 am or 8 pm, you use food for energy the same way.”

• “Late-night eating also curbs calorie intake the next day. In a four-week study, dieters added a snack to their daily regimen 90 minutes after dinner every night, and check this out: late-night eaters ate an average of 397 fewer calories per day.”

•  “A research paper published in Sports Medicine in 2014 showed that people who eat the majority of their carbs at dinner actually sleep better. Carb-induced, quality sleep decreases cortisol (a fat-storing hormone) and ramps up the production of your sleep hormones, serotonin and melatonin. Restorative sleep increases fat-burning hormones—the main one being growth hormone—overnight.”

Also, remember the yummy recipes I was talking about. You can find them by clicking here.

Week 2: Operation Lose Baby Weight (finally!)

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

First of all, I am super excited about this diet. I have already lost 4 pounds and I’m only following it 60%. Life has been a bit crazy around here. I am growing a business and homeschooling my kids. Things get a little hectic at times, but when I can I do the diet and I see that this is a lifestyle change for me, but something that I can really do. I’m super excited to continue this journey as I need to lose 8 more pounds to get to my first weight loss goals.

For the first time ever, I feel like this can actually happen for me. There are so many things in my life right now that I am saying that about but this is real. I never really felt like I could lose the weight when I saw how hard it was after my daughter. I am committed to making this change not only for myself, but for my family.

Author

Here are a few questions that was asked to the author that I think you may want to read to help you better understand:

Q1: What inspired you to write the book?

After authoring 6 best selling books it was glaringly obvious there were 2 huge misconceptions about dieting that needed to be exposed. The first is that you can’t eat late at night or before bed, which science now shows is NOT true. And second, you can’t eat large portions that satisfy your natural instinct. This book solves both these problems by providing an evidence-based, enjoyable approach to dieting that can be used by any person to quickly achieve their weight loss goals.

Q2: How long did it take for you to develop the diet?

It actually took several years of researching for me to discover the real science of eating late night. After a few years of tweaking and refining, I finally came up with a rapid fat loss solution that overcomes all the pitfalls of traditional diets.

Q3: What was the most surprising discovery when you were researching scientific data for the diet?

That almost everything my college education and certifications taught me was NOT grounded in published scientific research.

How to FINALLY lose the Baby Weight! Why I Chose This "Diet" Book?

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

My weight is one of those topics that I tread very lightly. Ever since I had kids trying to get back to my pre-kid size has seemed unattainable. I finally decided that even if never get back to my pre-kid size, I wanted to get down to a weight where I felt healthy and look decent in clothes I love to wear. I’ve tried a few things but most times it made feel like I wasn’t living my life and was preventing from enjoying fun moments with my family. When I heard about Always Eat After 7pm, I was immediately intrigued by the idea of eating after 7pm when all the GURUS said not to. I also have the biggest cravings after 7pm so this was something I wanted to look further into.

Over the next four weeks, I will be sharing with you my journey of reading this book and applying the principles. I officially start tomorrow. You can start anytime so feel free to jump in on this. Step one is to get the book and follow along. The first chapter is eye-opening on the research behind this way of eating. This is not a diet for me. It’s a lifestyle change because honestly, I hate diets. They word itself implies short term results. Now I look for changes I can make that will last longer than 21 days or 30 days. I want a system that fits my life and allow me to enjoy my family. Here is hint, this one does! It actually allows for carbs, dairy, and eating after 7pm.
