On March 29th, 2021 – Limitless: The Money Mindset Journaling Bundle was officially released. The Money Journal is one years old! Can you believe it! In this episode, we’ll be reflecting on one year of the journal and looking towards what is to come.
We are also celebrating with a sale on The Money Journal!

Get the 111 journal prompts, the 25 bonus business journal prompts, and the 6 how to journal videos – a value of $298 for only $27! It is available at https://slowmorningsco.com/limitless-journal-bundle/
And of course, the link is in the show notes.
And the return on investment is amazing!
Let’s start with getting into the history of the journal, the beta testers and their results!
In January of 2021, I began to seek out beta testers.
In total there were 12, and I received 9 surveys back.
Their results included:
Uncovering patterns
Actively participating in their relationship with money
Decrease in stress about their bank accounts
Happily paying bills (which is UNHEARD of, right?? So proud of them)
Seeing how far they have come
Increases in satisfaction points on the assessment
Feeling closer to their goals
First Etsy sale in their business!!
Creating offers in their businesses
4x their satisfaction score with money
Having their best month in a long time
Finally meeting money goals that they had set
And so much more!
I took their feedback and experiences, and expanded the journal into a bundle with training videos before releasing it on March 29th, 2021.
So prior to that, it was just a couple of pages of prompts on a black and white google doc, nothing special. And through their feedback, it grew into a whole bundle with even more prompts, a gorgeous pdf, and those 6 videos I mentioned earlier.
Over the next year, I would spend time focusing on refining the journal.
So today there are 6 videos as I said, a bonus business mindset journal, and 111 money journaling prompts! The first release only had something like, 45. And now we’ve expanded it to 111!
But the journal hasn’t just grown itself – so have the beta testers!
Let’s catch up with a few of them! I’ll be using letters for their names for privacy’s sake. So just be aware that when you hear a letter, that is the stand-in for their name.
One of the testers, E, had her first Etsy sale while using the journal! You just heard me mention that in the list. And when her and I caught up the other week, she told me that she is making a sale every week! That’s amazing! She had some of her best months as a contractor, but has found a better job opportunity! And has more opportunities coming her way as well! So there are a few things still in the works. I am really excited for her!
Another beta tester, P, began opening up to receive in ways that felt safer or easier, and was able to receive help via a neighbor for her car. Today, she has a growing podcast, for which she was able to receive interviews, does readings, and is overall just growing in her business!
Then L, was able to receive beta clients and trades. So about a year ago, that’s what she was receiving. Now, she has published a guide for mothers, also started a podcast, and is expanding a branch of her business with more published guides to come!
And S, she had her first 9k month. And has continued to grow her podcast and her business – resulting in serving more impact and best December, April, June, August, October, January, February yet – when compared to the same months in previous years!
Oh wait! That one is me!
I’m S!
All of the above is true! But it doesn’t mean that it has all been easy or that things have exactly gone as planned the entire time.
The first actual launch for the journal, post-beta testing, only sold 2 copies.
This wasn’t because there was a lack of value. The journal is an amazing tool that can support you no matter where you are at in your business, because the framework (Evaluate, Shift, Heal) is the same at any level.
And people were seeing amazing results!
At the time, I thought it maybe had something to do with the fact that I tapped out my audience on the beta testing, so when it came time to purchase, the people who would have been interested, already had it.
But looking back, I don’t think that was quite the right frame for the situation.
When launching, an important part of the process is audience expansion. How one does that looks different for each person and for each launch.
Sometimes people run contests or challenges, sometimes there is a freebie that they are sharing like a pdf, or sometimes people do webinars or live stream events.
I don’t remember doing any of that. My memory is not great, but I don’t remember doing any of that. I was just tossing out my offer into the world without doing much prep for it other than the beta testing. Like making sure the offer itself worked and was good.
When you look at bigger entrepreneurs, it SEEMS like they do this, like they just kinda toss it out there. But they have systems and structures supporting them. They’ve created strong brand awareness. They have created an ongoing interest.
But when your audience is smaller, there aren’t as many people at various stages of liking, knowing, and trusting you. There is more gaps. Hence, why it would have been important to do something to prep for the journal launch – but I didn’t.
And considering that, I’m pretty happy with the fact that I sold two copies!
But let’s look forward now – where do I want the journal to go over the next year?
I’d love to publish it so that people can buy a physical copy. It would be so much fun to actually hold the journal that I have co-created with the Universe and with you! My audience!
Fortunately, my mom runs a publishing company, so I have someone to ask for help! I’ve never published something before!
The overall goal though, is for the journal is for the journal to become a staple for entrepreneurs. Like, everyone has one, kind of thing. It is recommended, people use it, and people buy multiple copies, so when they go through it and fill it up, they buy another one and do it again!
How fun would that be?
But also, they do this because it IS supportive! The journal is such a beautiful tool! And some have even called it a talisman, because the act of purchasing it is activating in itself.
Like, can you imagine how different the standard with money would be if we all changed our relationship with money? Like how freeing it would feel? How empowered and blessed?
As an entrepreneur, you are in a unique position to change the programs and energy around money. You receive it, invest it, share it, circulate it, hold it, etc. And as your business grows, you become an even more influential part of all of that.
YOU are changing the programs and energy around money.
And the Limitless Journaling bundle is one tool to help you do that.
Since it is the one year birthday / anniversary of the journal, again, it is on sale for $27! And you will get so much more out of it! Just like the beta testers that we have caught up with over the last year, they have been using it! The things that they have learned, that they have created – like those new habits, those new thought patterns – have continued to serve them, and serve them in growing their impact, and their business. The same will be true for you.
