Our inner traffic lights

We’ve made it to the last issue of 2023!

If, like me, you are worried about not working hard enough while family time stands as a priority (especially) at this time of the year, you’re not alone.

Luckily, working in sprints makes more sense to me. Work hard for a period of time. Rest and recharge for the next work period. Repeat.

More interesting. More doable. More human.

Taking a half-hearted break

My kids are 4 and 1. This time of the year, with school holidays, family visits and every tiny moment in between, I was obliged to take a half-hearted break from launching things.

Half-hearted because I’m beaming with ideas and there is a lot I wanna do. AND I know the time with my kids is precious.

Despite all of the internal debate, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I need your opinion

Among the chaos, I actually did build something I never shared anywhere yet.

I need your opinion because I’m unsure about when to announce it outside of this newsletter.

It’s a product I had on my mind for a while. Something I myself will use every day.

A physical planner. But not just a regular one. An INDIE one.

The problem is, I’ll only hold the physical proof copy in my hands on the 6th of January and I don’t feel comfortable selling something that hasn’t passed my testing.

It’s already available for purchase on Amazon.

Here are my concerns

1. I haven’t seen the proof myself, what if there are print errors etc?

2. This is a dated planner so if I start selling it at the end of the first week of January 2024, will people buy it? Or will it be too late?

3. I wonder if I should create an undated version so that people can buy it any time of the year? But then it will be even more delayed.

Question for you: Do you think I should start marketing it before receiving the proof copy myself? Hit reply and let me know. (Or on Twitter.)

I’ll share my process building and launching a physical info product on Amazon KDP in the coming issues. Stay tuned!

That’s it for this week. Happy New Year!

Oh, and a pat on my back for not missing a single issue of this newsletter since launch. One’s gotta celebrate the small wins.

Love, B.
