Creative journal prompt:


Happy Sunday Reader!

[Journal prompts below]

Have you heard of morning pages?

It's a wildly popular exercise to get "unstuck" in your creativity, taught by Julia Cameron and shared in her book, The Artist's Way.

I love using this same practice - free writing for 3 pages with no judgement - to come up with new creative offers for my business!

I shared this practice with my client Cindee, a meditation teacher, and she turned it into $5,842.00!

She'd been deliberating for months—she wanted to create something valuable for her audience, but she kept second-guessing herself.

“Does it have to be a big, polished course?” she asked.

“What does my audience even care about?”

I offered her the below prompts and she journaled freely on what she does best.

👉🏻 From that brainstorm, she landed on a simple 15-minute audio training that included a sample meditation—something quick, actionable, and easy for her audience to use.

She set it up as a free digital asset, and within 2 weeks, 247 new subscribers had joined her list.

Then came the magic moment…

With this new audience engaged and loving her sample meditation, she invited them to a low-ticket event that built on what they had already experienced.

Her result? 46 sales—all from a small, aligned digital asset that showcased her expertise and made it easy for people to say yes.

Cindee’s story is proof that your first (or next!) digital asset doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.

✅ It just has to offer value in a way that resonates with your people.

So - if you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” idea, take this story as your sign to start!

Use the journal prompts below to kick-start your creative flow around your next profitable offer!
