    Ep.93-5 Low-Lift Ways to Diversify Your Income

    Build While You’re Away: 5 Low-Lift Ways to Diversify Your Income Right now, I’m sitting in Poland—still in awe of the powerful women I’ve met while teaching leadership and civic engagement across the region. It’s been energizing, eye-opening, and humbling all at once. But even in the midst of this incredible work, I’m reminded that back home… my business is still running. Not because I’m glued to my laptop. Not because I’ve cloned myself. But because I’ve intentionally built income streams that don’t rely on me being live and present every day. And let me tell you something: If all my income was tied to just one client, one paycheck, or one launch—this opportunity wouldn’t have been possible. So let’s talk about how you can create that same freedom. You don’t need a big team or months of planning. You just need to work smarter with what you already have. Why Solopreneurs Struggle with Income Diversity We often think that to earn more, we have to do more. But adding more to our plates is the fastest way to burn out—especially when we’re running everything solo. The truth? You already have assets, content, and knowledge that people want. The key is recognizing it and packaging it with intention. Step 1: Audit What You Already Have Ask yourself: What am I always being asked about? What resources have I created for clients or community? What topics do I talk about again and again? For me, it was things like: Time management strategies Community-building frameworks How to stay consistent online How to balance family, business, and service These became the foundations of my worksheets, mini-courses, and digital resources. Step 2: Repackage Without Reinventing You don’t need a polished course or 12-week program to make money. You just need to solve one small problem clearly. Here are some quick examples: Turn a repeat client process into a $15 workbook Trim down a past workshop into an audio mini-course That go-to pep talk? Bundle it into a simple digital guide Think clean, simple, and clear—not perfect. Step 3: Batch Your Energy (The Solopreneur Way) When you don’t have a VA or team, batching becomes your best friend. Try this: Block off 2–3 hours/week to work ON your business Pick one format to start: PDF, audio, Canva template—whatever’s easiest Batch your tasks: Week 1: Write the content Week 2: Design it Week 3: Upload and write promo copy Use tools like Canva, Flodesk, Payhip, and Pally to keep it simple. Step 4: Plug It Into Your Ecosystem Once it’s created—don’t let it sit in Google Drive purgatory. Add it to an email funnel as a $10–$30 upsell Share it on social weekly (rotate tips, testimonials, behind-the-scenes) Offer it as a bonus in your membership or community This is what I’ve done with my Time Mastery mini-course—it’s short, simple, and adds value without adding work. Step 5: Add Low-Lift Affiliate Income I know many of you are already recommending tools and products to others. Why not earn from it? You can: Add affiliate links to tools like Canva, Flodesk, podcasting gear Include a resources page on your site Drop links in email footers or social posts You’re already doing the sharing—this just makes it strategic. Final Step: Give Yourself Permission to Start Small Perfection is a delay tactic. Some of the best money I’ve made came from messy, scrappy launches that weren’t “ready.” And guess what? Everything you build now will evolve anyway. So don’t wait to get it “just right.” Just start. You Are Not Stuck If you’re feeling like all your income is tied to one client, one job, or one big launch—I see you. I’ve been you. But I promise: You already have everything you need to begin creating new income streams that run without you. Start by auditing what you’ve already created. Pick one piece. Block time this week.

    Butterflies Mean Go: What Teaching in Poland Is Really Teaching Me Five days into this whirlwind experience, and I still can't quite believe it. I’m in Poland, teaching leadership and civic engagement to women who are ready to make real change in their communities—and in themselves. It sounds glamorous. And yes, it’s incredible. But it’s also real life. While I’m over here helping women grow, I’m also checking in on my boys’ lacrosse schedule, responding to client messages, making sure my husband’s holding down the fort, and—oh yeah—getting developmental edits on my first book. This Isn’t a Vacation—It’s a Masterclass in Being Stretched There’s no pause button when you’re a woman in business, a parent, and a leader. And honestly? I wouldn’t want one. Because I’m not here for the hustle anymore. I’m here for alignment. For meaningful growth. For impact that lasts beyond a calendar invite or a social media post. Every day I’m here, I’m reminded: This isn’t just a trip. This is a full-body yes to the life I’ve been building—brick by brick, moment by messy moment. Building Dandelion-Inc From Across the Globe Yes, I’m still working while abroad. Because Dandelion-Inc isn’t just a business—it’s a living, breathing community. It’s women supporting women. It’s accountability, purpose, and momentum. And even from across the ocean, I’m still fully in it. Because being in it means pouring into others—and growing roots and wings at the same time. Let’s Talk About the Book The butterflies really started fluttering when I opened that email with my first round of developmental edits. Equal parts panic, joy, and a weird calm that whispered: This is happening. This is the story I’ve wanted to tell for years. It flew out of me faster than I expected—but sharing it? That’s the part that feels raw and vulnerable and so, so worth it. And it brought me back to eighth grade. When I wrote a paper about Teddy Roosevelt—not because I had to, but because something about his leadership made me sit up a little taller. His quote still guides me today: “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” That’s the energy I’m bringing into this chapter. Trying. Failing sometimes. Growing always. If You’re Waiting for the Perfect Time—Don’t This trip, this podcast, this business, this book—they didn’t come from waiting. They came from starting. Even when it wasn’t perfect. Especially when it wasn’t perfect. So if you’re standing at the edge of something new and the butterflies are showing up, don’t take it as a sign to stop. Take it as your sign to go. Show up messy. Show up scared. Show up. Because growth doesn’t wait for perfect. And neither should you. Let’s Keep Growing Together Want more insights like this?

    Ep.91-The Quiet Path to Being Seen
    Jun 25 2025
    You Don’t Need to Be a Social Media Zombie to Grow Your Business If you’ve ever found yourself staring blankly at your phone thinking, “Do I really have to post again today?” — you’re not alone. Lisa Resnick Hey, it’s Lisa — and I want to talk about something a lot of us feel but rarely say out loud:Social media burnout is real, and it’s okay if showing up online 24/7 isn’t how you want to grow your business. We’ve been fed this idea that in order to be successful, we need to post constantly, dance for Reels (no shame if that’s your jam), and build this perfectly curated digital presence. And while consistency can help build trust — you’ve heard me say that more than once — it’s not the only path to growth. So if you’re exhausted, uninspired, or just straight-up annoyed with the pressure to be online all the time... take a breath. This post is your permission slip to explore something different. 🌱 Visibility Doesn’t Mean Constantly Being Visible Your business is real. Your ideas are valid. Your voice matters.And no, you don’t have to chase likes to prove it. There are other (read: better aligned) ways to grow your visibility, reach new audiences, and build credibility. Let’s talk about a few of them. 1. Podcasting Changed Everything for Me No joke — podcasting has completely shifted how I show up, how I connect, and how I grow. It lets me share my voice (literally) without having to be camera-ready or tied to trends. It’s intimate, evergreen, and incredibly powerful for building trust with your audience. And the best part?You don’t need a massive following to make an impact. If you’ve been toying with the idea of starting your own podcast but don’t know where to begin, this is your moment. I created a self-paced digital course just for beginners. It walks you through everything — from recording your first episode to launching with confidence. And because I believe in real support, if you sign up using this link, you’ll also get a free 90-minute 1:1 consult with me to help you align your podcast with your brand, your business, and your goals. 2. Don’t Want Your Own Show (Yet)? Be a Guest. Not ready to host your own podcast? No worries.You can still show up, share your knowledge, and get in front of new audiences by being a guest on someone else’s podcast, newsletter, or live chat. These platforms are always looking for meaningful voices — yes, including yours. When you show up for someone else’s audience, you build visibility without reinventing the wheel. Win-win. 3. Talk to People. Really. We’re so used to digital everything that we sometimes forget the power of real conversations. Tell your friends, your circle, your past clients what you’re working on. Ask for introductions. Follow up. (Seriously — follow-up is the secret sauce.) 4. That Email List You’ve Been Ignoring? It’s Time. Still one of the most underrated tools in your business. You don’t need fancy templates. You need you — your voice, your message, your presence in someone’s inbox. And all the things I mentioned above? They’re great ways to build that list with intention. 5. Speak, Teach, Share Host a workshop, lead a webinar, offer to join a panel — virtually or in-person. These are incredible ways to share your value and be seen without having to show up daily on Instagram. These moments build trust, create connections, and help your audience say, “Ah, she gets it.” ✨ So Here’s the Thing... I’m not telling you to abandon social media. I’m just saying…It doesn’t have to own you. It doesn’t get to define your worth, your success, or your potential. Let go of the pressure to be everywhere and start being more intentional about where you want to show up. You are allowed to grow your business in a way that works for your life — not against it. And if podcasting feels like your next best step? I’ve got you. 🎧 Click here to check out my beginner podcasting course and claim your free 90...
