the plan vs. the reality (my week)

This week did not turn out the way I’d planned. See, it’s one of my beloved no call weeks…so an empty calendar to do whatever my heart desires. And my “heart” had big desires… …Outline a few new Youtube videos …Work on a new training that I’m having way too much fun with …Record masterclass for the new flagship course you’ll be seeing next week …Teach Falco a new, completely pointless trick (‘cause I saw it on TikTok - putting his nose into your hand when you make a circle…so cute though) But…cue the brakes (*screeech*). Because on Monday, I still felt so sick. Really bad headache, cough, and even a bit of a fever. Doing my Asian upbringing proud, I was originally tempted to “push through.” But thankfully, a wise friend basically *commanded* me, “You need to take a few days off.” So here we are now, with me feeling much better thanks to those days of rest and the help of some good antibiotics. What I’ve done this week is very different from what I’d planned… …Finished season 2 of Only Murders in the Building (Still so good) …Napped…a lot …Took even longer than usual daily walks with Falco (that’s my only “non-negotiable” these days apparently) That’s about it. Today, my only to-do is to record that masterclass you’ll be seeing next week. Then back to resting I go! So what’s the point of this email? Quite a few points actually… First, few people talk about taking time off or being sick while running a business. But it’s important - because it happens! I love working, but I also love being able to choose whether or not I work. Because I’ve built my business to not depend on my schedule. That’s thanks to the systems I talk about all the time… Delivery systems…to actually deliver what you sell. Sales systems…to drive sales. And last but definitely not least… Traffic systems…because without new leads, you could have the best delivery and sales systems in the world, and it wouldn’t matter. Even though I didn’t do a single thing these past few days, and really these last few weeks, people continued to find me. Not because of ads, or social media, or anything I was technically “doing.” But because of the traffic system that currently drives the majority of my audience growth every month automatically…by the thousands. That’s what I’ll be sharing next week. So hang tight, because it’s going to be sweet! Luisa Zhou [Facebook]( [YouTube]( [Instagram]( [Unsubscribe]( Zhou Ventures, Inc. P.O.
