Can you really make money while you sleep?

A rhetorical question, I know. If you’ve ever invested money or held a back account, you know you can make money while you sleep. But I’m talking about creating your own products, services, or platforms that earn money with little involvement on your part.

I first learned about passive income back in 2011.?My friend’s husband was interested in starting a side business. He wanted to sell a product on automation when he wasn’t actively present. In other words, in his sleep. At first, I couldn’t conceptualize what he was talking about, and it wasn't until 2016 that I could see this was possible for me, too.

It was around that time I realized I could earn money from ads running on my website, too! Since then, I’ve used several different avenues to make additional income from products I’ve created, including ad revenue, and more.

I’m back in the routine of writing each morning. I’m tackling the topic of raising children in bigger bodies. Why? Because it’s the most common query I get from parents, there aren’t many resources, and I have years of experience working with kids and families on this matter.

This book has been a long time coming, but I feel it’s time to share my thoughts in this format. Say, want to give me a hand?

Share your thoughts about the common challenges you see families facing when they’re raising a child in a bigger body, by filling out this simple questionnaire.

Work with Me: As we enter the last month of Q1, you may decide you want more help in your business, on a one-to-one level or in a group format. You can work with me in my upcoming paid program for new-ish nutrition entrepreneurs called THRIVE (we start in September and you can schedule a call to chat with me about it here), or work personally with me through a 90-minute strategy call or a ? day VIP option. Learn more about these offerings on my website.??

Businesses and organizations: This month I did a deep dive on the topic of iron in the early years in an article and on the podcast (releasing 3/30). This is just one example of my work with companies and organizations - you can see more of what I do here.

On the Podcast: This month is chock-full of goodness! Learn about attachment theory and how it informs secure children (especially with feeding) in The Makings of a Secure Child with Dr. Serena Messina.

Releasing later this week: An interview with Michelle Segar, author of the upcoming book, The Joy Choice. She busts the motivation and habit advice we've been taught to give and reframes 'habits' to be more lasting and flexible. Don't miss it! Listen here.

That’s it for March!

My best always,

Jill
