When I first announced the book on Instagram, it had a little bump in pre-order numbers, but when I sent an email to my list using Kit—that's when we started to see some real movement.
Kit is integral because it's the hub of the business.
Thanks to the fact that we sell our own product through our email list now, I have the freedom to live, learn, and teach on my own terms, which is the thing I care about.
