I recently got home from an AMAZING trip to New York, and I was surprised by how many money lessons I picked up! 
 
This was an unusual trip because, at least initially, it wasn't work-related. It felt hard to let myself relax and do something purely for fun. 
 
As you may know, I love musicals and Broadway (and have invested in a few), so I went to NY for BroadwayCon. 
 
The Ruler in me did add two VIP days to pay for the trip, but it was honestly such a chilled, and inspiring trip. 
 
So the first lesson straight away was that it's okay for me to do things just for me and just for joy - this is definitely something I want to lean into next year. 
 
When did you last do something just for the fun of it?

As an entrepreneur, how can you work out which of your many ideas and passions are the right ones to pursue? And which ones can actually make you money?

You might not want to hear this, but there are key numbers in your business that you need to track and have a plan to grow. 
 
It’s possible to both love your people and want to grow your numbers quickly. 
 
Don’t be afraid to look at these numbers. The success of your offers, launches, and, in fact, your whole business is directly linked to the size of your audience. 
 
The truth is that the more people see your stuff, the more money you’ll make - it’s a numbers game, so it’s essential to get clear on where you’re at and have a target you want to grow to. 
 
On today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing how I grow my list and following.
