Messy First Launches, Canva Wins & a Simple Truth from Zig Ziglar
The first launch is always the messiest — but here’s why it’s worth doing anyway (plus a quote that helped keep me going)
Hey there, fellow side hustler!
This week’s momentum is picking up speed — and if you’ve been stalling, consider this your sign to start anyway. Let’s break it all down:
🎯 The Creator’s Playbook: Edition #2 Launched Monday
We broke down three specific ways to earn money using Canva, even if you’re brand new.
From templates to lead magnets to micro-product bundles, we laid out practical steps you can take to turn design time into income.
🚀 New Journey Post: “The First Launch Is the Messiest — Do It Anyway”
Let’s be honest: your first launch probably won’t be your best. It will be clunky, awkward, and a little scary — but that’s okay.
This week’s Prepare To Launch post is here to walk you through the mindset shift you need when putting your first product into the world.
If you’ve got something sitting on your computer waiting for “someday,” it’s time to make today the day you push publish.
💬 Quote to Keep You Going
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”
— Zig Ziglar
This quote helped keep me going when Side Hustle Quest was just a wild idea.
You don't need a perfect plan to make progress — just a first step.
