Rhonda Linn

Quick! Before we get into this week’s wild entrepreneur’s story…

Want to make $100k in a day? (Or at least $10k?)

Nosy question…

Ever banked $100,000 in 24 hours?

One of Greg Johnson's clients did.

Boom.

Sure, it takes work. A killer product. Hungry audience.

But $10k?

Piece of cake.

For businesses already making sales, it's just tweaks and execution.Imagine pulling a month's revenue in a day.

Sweet, right?

Now listen up.

Your best shot at a payday bonanza in 2024?It's coming.

Fast.

Black Friday. Cyber Monday.

You ready?

Please tell me you're not planning a lame "15% off everything" sale.

Yawn.

There are better ways, friend.

Last year, Greg's BFCM strategy session led to record-breaking sales.

This year?

Even juicier.

Enter: Promo FOMO.

It's legit.

$200 price tag, but I've got a $50 off code for you.

You're welcome.

Want an epic sales screenshot of your own?

Time's ticking.

Plan. Execute. Profit.

Disclaimer: If you're product-less or audience-less, this might not be for you.

Yet.

But if you're making consistent sales?

Buckle up, buttercup.

Ready to crush it?

Use code BFCM50 for $50 off.

Do it.

Now.

P.S. Seriously. Do it now. Future you will thank present you.

Alright, let's dive into Rhonda Linn's world of entrepreneurship, nature, and finding balance in the chaos. Buckle up, folks.

Unlocking Business Breakthroughs: The Suprising Power of Outdoor Resets

Rhonda isn't your typical entrepreneur. She's a writer, homesteader, and business owner who's mastered the art of blending her love for nature with her entrepreneurial spirit. And boy, does she have some insights that'll make you rethink your work-from-home setup.

From Teacher to Trailblazer

Rewind to 2020. Rhonda was a dedicated educator, pouring her heart and soul into teaching for 15 years. But something was off. The energy-draining nature of her job left her creative well dry. Writing, her true passion, took a backseat.

Sound familiar?

Then came the pandemic. For many, it was a disaster.

For Rhonda? A gift in disguise.

The chaos of her job reached new heights, and a relative’s illness was the final push she needed.

Time for a change.

Enter entrepreneurship.

Rhonda dove headfirst into the world of online business. The result? She replaced her teaching income in the first month. Impressive. She put in her 2- month notice at work that July and didn’t return to work for the fall semester. (She gave lots of notice because she loved her employer.)

Nature: The Ultimate Business Partner

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Rhonda didn't just start a business; she created a lifestyle that harmonizes with nature's rhythms. Living on a 1922 farmhouse (talk about character), she's found a way to integrate the outdoors into her daily work routine.

Her secret? Seasonal living. Instead of pushing for constant productivity, Rhonda aligns her work with nature's cycles.

Genius. It's not about working less; it's about working smarter.

The Power of Micro-Breaks

Rhonda's workday isn't your typical 9-to-5 grind. She's found whole new levels of productivity with her outdoor reset technique. After each focused work session, she steps outside. Sometimes it's for five minutes, sometimes thirty.

The task? Irrelevant. Pull a weed. Take a few steps. Just be.

This isn't your average coffee break. It's a reset button for your brain. And it works wonders.

Nature: The Problem-Solving Powerhouse

Stuck on a business problem? Take it outside. Rhonda swears by nature as a conduit for ideas and solutions.

Writer's block? A short walk might be the cure.

Complex client issue? Your backyard could hold the answer.

It's not magic. It's science. Nature has a way of clearing the mental clutter, making room for those eureka moments.

Embracing the Cycles

Here's a nugget of wisdom from Rhonda's garden: tomato plants. At season's end, they look pretty rough. Dying stalks, withering leaves.

But the tomatoes? They're thriving. Producing like crazy.

Business lesson alert…

Often in business we are thriving and struggling at the same time, just like a tomato plant at the end of the season.

Rarely is an entrepreneurial journey "Instagram perfect."

There are seasons of growth, production, and yes, even decline as we make room for new pathways forward in business. 

It isn't a straight line to success. 

It's all part of the cycle. 

Embrace it.

Practical Tips for the Nature-Deprived Entrepreneur

  1. Set a hard stop to your workday. Nature time isn't optional; it's essential.

  2. Ditch the pressure. You don't need to run a marathon or climb a mountain. Just be present.

  3. Use nature as your reset button. Overwhelmed? Step outside. Now.

  4. Align your work with your natural rhythms. Energy peaks at 10 AM? Schedule your big tasks then.

  5. Embrace the ebb and flow of your business. Rest isn't lazy; it's necessary.

The Rhonda Linn Method: More Than Just Business

Rhonda's approach isn't just about boosting productivity or solving business problems. It's a holistic lifestyle shift. She's running a successful marketing business, managing a team of six, and still finds time to write her own books and newsletters.

Her first poetry book is now on the shelves. When a friend of hers published a collection of poems as she was dying, it inspired Rhonda to write and publish this book. Talk about finding beauty in life's challenges. You can get it here.

And she's not stopping there. Rhonda's expanding her business to support other writers, offering manuscript reviews and marketing support. She's living proof that you can pursue multiple passions without burning out.

The Bottom Line

Rhonda's story isn't just inspiring… it's a blueprint for a more sustainable, joyful approach to entrepreneurship.

It's about finding harmony between your business goals and your well-being.

It's about recognizing that sometimes, the best thing you can do for your business is to step away from it.

So, entrepreneurs, it's time to rethink your relationship with nature. It's not just a nice-to-have. It's a must-have for your business toolkit. Your next big breakthrough might be waiting just outside your door.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with my lawn mower in the pasture. Who knows? I might just solve world hunger while I'm out there. Or at least figure out what to have for dinner.

And because bots never mind if we slip outside for some Vitamin D while they do some work for us…
