February 2025 Update: The Ignited Woman Project
# February Update: The Ignited Woman Project
Hey there! As we step into February, I wanted to share an honest update about my journey with the Ignited Woman project. For those just joining, the tangible goal is to reach $300 in daily online income. But really? It's about so much more than that.
Let me catch you up on what this project really is and how it came to be.
This journey didn't start with a number…. it started with a search for the right way to share my gifts online. I initially stepped into the online world through coaching, thinking that was my path.
When that didn't quite fit, I explored the knowledge economy, creating products around things like human design. But something still felt off because I'm such an experiential person. Teaching knowledge alone wasn't enough.
Then last fall, I discovered the creator economy, and suddenly everything clicked. All these pieces I'd gathered along the way started making sense. This project is really the culmination of that journey…. bringing together everything I've learned and experienced into something authentic and whole.
Yes, there's an easy to understand goal of reaching $300 in daily online income….. But that number is really just a compass point, giving direction to a much bigger vision of creating and sharing in a way that feels truly aligned. For those just joining us, you're not just watching someone try to make money online…. you're watching someone craft their path by bringing together all the pieces they've collected along the way.
January in Numbers
Let's start with the raw truth: I made $0 in January. And you know what? That makes perfect sense because I put out exactly zero offers…. But here's why I'm not disappointed...
Behind the Scenes
January was all about foundation-building and getting crystal clear on what I'm creating. Here's what actually happened:
Platform Shifts & Tech Decisions
I discovered what wasn't working and had the courage to pivot. I abandoned a platform that wasn't feeling right and started building my Inner Glow Sanctuary somewhere that better aligns with my vision. Sometimes knowing what you don't want is as valuable as knowing what you do want.
Email Newsletter Development
The entire newsletter is written and ready to go! I made the strategic decision to move it to my tried-and-true email platform… the same platform I've used for my massage therapy business since 2015…. and the one I used for The ignited Path until 2020…..Why? Because sometimes the familiar path is the smart path.
Content Creation
- "Into the Unknown Adventures" blog is up and running with five posts ready to go….. The Ignited Woman Blog backend is still a work in progress, but yah it’s still live if you want to watch that get updated more through the month.
- Created outlines for three different products
- Generated two complete product ideas (fun fact: these came directly from working through some personal meltdowns…. talk about turning challenges into opportunities!)
My Non-Linear Approach
Here's something I want to be transparent about: I don't work in a traditional, linear fashion. And you know what? That's perfectly okay. When people talk about the dangers of context switching, I just smile. As a mom who birthed four kids in four and a half years, and on my own since 2009…. I've mastered the art of juggling multiple priorities, in the last 22 years since my first was born…. and so far, they’ve all turned out great, and I'm applying those same skills to this business.
I'm building this project my way to show that you can create something sustainable when you honor your own rhythm and flow. Success doesn't have to look like everyone else's highlight reel.
The Value of Meltdowns
Let's talk about those meltdowns for a minute….. While I didn't keep a formal tally (maybe I should start one?), each breakdown actually led to a breakthrough.
Two of my upcoming products (Permission to Process:Finding Your Way Back to Natural Thinking & Hook Smart Guide: Recognizing Manipulation in Marketing & Finding Your Authentic Path) were born directly from these challenging moments. It's a powerful reminder that our struggles often contain the seeds of our solutions.
February Focus: From Foundation to Action
As we move into February, my focus is shifting from backend development to actually putting offers out into the world. This is where theory meets practice, where preparation meets opportunity. Am I nervous? … A little….. Excited?….. Absolutely.
The groundwork is laid:
- The platform is chosen
- The newsletter is written
- The blogs are active
- Product outlines are ready
- My vision is clearer than ever
Now it's time to open the doors and invite others into this space we're creating.
Why This Matters
With my four kids now graduated from high school, I've found myself with more time to pursue my own dreams. This project isn't just about making money online…. it's about creating a sustainable way to share value, build community, and show others that there's no one "right" way to build your path…. and also you are never too old to carve a new path!
Moving Forward
I'm choosing to view January not through the lens of monetary success, but as a month of crucial foundation-building. Every platform decision, every written word, every moment spent clarifying my vision is part of creating something meaningful and sustainable.
February isn't about perfection…. it's about progress. It's about taking all these carefully crafted pieces and beginning to share them with the world. Whether you're just starting your own journey or well along your path, I invite you to join me in this adventure of creating something authentic, sustainable, and truly our own.
Here's to building our paths, one imperfect, beautiful step at a time. 💫
