May 2024 Creating is Easy, Consistency is Hard
Hello, May 2024! It’s true isn’t it? We love to create new things. It’s fun which makes it easy. But the truth is, the work doesn’t stop there. Consistently creating is what truly moves the needle in our businesses and all of the platforms reward us for it.
So the question becomes, how can we make the “consistency” part as fun as the “creating” part?
It may look different for different people, but here are a few ideas:
- Join a Mastermind Group like FUEL to create with friends
- Get a business coach who can hold you accountable
- Challenge yourself with milestone rewards
I’m so excited that you are choosing to join me in this new journey of content creation with purpose. Each month, you will find a dedication post on the blog that correlates with your Content Planner for Creatives. If you don’t already have yours, you can order it below from Amazon and have it in just a couple of short days.

Encouragement Emails
If you haven’t already, take some time and write out Encouragement Emails to yourself. One for each quarter left in the year should be scheduled to arrive in your inbox for April 29, July 29, and October 28.
Gmail can schedule the sending of your emails as can most platforms.
Acknowledge how far you’ve come in your business, and the progress you’ve made, mention milestones you want to reach, compliment your attributes, remind yourself why you are doing what you’re doing, and give yourself encouragement for the weeks ahead.
Use a kind tone in your email as if you are talking to a child. Be gentle, sweet, and tender with your words to yourself.
