Hi, I'm KIM

more about me

Let’s be honest… December gets a bad reputation.

Everyone acts like the year is “over,” like we should all sit quietly and wait for January to save us.
But hi — who decided that?

Because here’s the truth friend:
December is the most slept-on, opportunity-packed, momentum-building month of the entire year.
And if you’re thinking about starting a digital business?
This month is your secret weapon.

Let’s talk about why.


#1: The Pressure is Off

The pressure is OFF — and that’s exactly why it works.

When January hits, everyone’s screaming about goals, resolutions, planners, detoxes, “new year, new me,” and you can’t even open your email without someone yelling at you to transform your life.

But December?
Everyone else is coasting.
Which means YOU get to quietly, calmly start planting seeds.

You don’t need to turn your world upside down.
You just need to make a few simple decisions that set January up to be your “watch me win” month.


#2: You Gain Clarity

You gain clarity you never get in the chaos of a new year.

I swear, December has this magical energy where your brain is like:

“Okay, what do I actually want?”
“What needs to change?”
“What am I not doing again next year?”

(And yes, sometimes the answer is: “Working this job for all eternity? Absolutely not.”)

Use this month to:

  • reflect on what worked and what didn’t
  • think about your dream schedule
  • get honest about your goals
  • imagine how life could feel six months from now

Clarity is the most underrated first step in entrepreneurship.
December hands it to you on a silver platter.


#3: Tiny Moves = Massive Momentum

Tiny December moves = massive January momentum.

Look, nobody’s asking you to build your first digital product on Christmas Eve while the kids are eating cookies and fighting about who touched the Elf on the Shelf.

But five tiny steps?
Totally doable.

Try these:

  • Make a list of digital product ideas
  • Decide who you want to help
  • Write one simple promise your business will make
  • Choose your platform
  • Block ONE 30-minute “CEO hour” per week

You don’t need a big splash.
You need a spark.
And December is when sparks love to fly. ✨


#4: You Owe It To Yourself

“Future You” is BEGGING you to start right now.

Picture this:
It’s February.
You’re sipping your Diet DP.
Your inbox has new subscriber notifications.
Your digital product is coming to life.
You’re building a business that fits your life — not one that drains it.

And “December You” is smiling because she finally decided to bet on herself.
Honestly? She deserves a trophy.


#4: You Don’t Need Perfect

You don’t need perfect. You need a plan.

You don’t need to overhaul your life.
You don’t need to quit your job.
You don’t need 500 hours a week.

You just need a plan you can follow in the cracks of your real life — the messy, busy, kid-chaos, working-mom life.

And that’s exactly why I’m hosting my January Six-Figure Side Hustle (6FSH) Training — the one that breaks everything into simple, doable steps that you can handle even on your busiest days.

December is for deciding.
January is for building.
And you?
You’re right on time.
