Intro  Congratulations on your purchase of The Successful Blogger’s Ultimate Tool Kit! When I was creating this tool kit, I took my love for blogging and entrepreneurism and combined it with my passion for self-care and the law of attraction. There is the technical side of running a website and putting together content, but there is another side to it (a side that I consider to be the most important one) and that’s your mindset! Why do some blogging businesses do so well and others not so much? I don’t believe it has anything to do with luck. On the surface, we could attribute unsuccessful blogs to things like bad design, or bad writing, or bad marketing. And most times the blog is perfect in every way and should be succeeding, but something is holding it’s owner back. I think that if we could peek into the minds of those people who are successful, we’d see they hold a different set of beliefs about what is possible compared to people who can’t seem to catch a break. I feel like I know this firsthand because success for me (my own definition) was slow coming for a few years. I had a blog with really good content and places like Huffington and Redbook were picking it up, but I wasn’t making ANY money. Maybe a few dollars from Adsense a month, but that I was it. I then created a new blog less than a year ago and that blog began making good money six months later. Why? What was I doing differently? My mindset. I started believing it was possible for me, really believing it. I started feeling like I deserved it just as much as anyone else. I started visualizing in my mind how my days would play out and they started playing out that way. I started imagining how awesome it would be to make up my own rules, like pinning my content once a day and then getting a glass of wine and watching Netflix, with sales coming in while I slept…and it started happening! I started letting go of what felt like drudgery (“you must post at least 3 times a week or else you won’t be successful”). I started spending more time doing self-care activities. I got better at staying in connection with myself. I found that what goes on in my my mind has more of an affect on my blog than the physical actions I take.

And of course, I had 5 years of blogging under my belt, so I knew all the in’s and out’s of putting together a blog, running it, creating content,and promoting it. I debated writing a book all about blogging and the mindset to go with it, but I knew a tool kit full of guides and worksheets would be of more immediate assistance to both myself and other blogging entrepreneurs. Something to help you keep track of the technical side of things for running your business online, and the other half to help keep you centered and inspired. Because we all know that’s where the true magic lies! So this ultimate planner was born, and boy is it ULTIMATE. I will say right off the bat, it is not intended to be printed out in it’s entirety unless you want and need all of the pages. I see it more as a resource bank, with everything you need there for when you need it. So go check out the Tool Kit Key, print out what you need, and start making some magic with your blog and business! Lots of love and success, Jessica
