How to Make Extra Money From Home

Let’s get brutally honest.

Some days it’s not the algorithm, the tech, or the fact that we haven’t figured out Pinterest yet. It’s our mindset.

Let’s get brutally honest.

Some days it’s not the algorithm, the tech, or the fact that you haven’t figured out Pinterest yet. It’s your mindset.

Not your ambition. Not your ability. Not your audience size.

It’s that nagging little voice in your head whispering:

  • “You’re not good enough.”
  • “This won’t work.”
  • “Who do you think you are?”
  • “She’s doing better than me, so what’s the point?”
  • “I’m too far behind to catch up.”
  • “I’ve tried before and failed .. why would this time be different?”
  • “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”

Sound familiar?

If you’re a woman over 40 trying to figure out how to make extra money from home.. but your internal chatter feels louder than your actual content… welcome.

You’re not broken. You’ve just got a little BS to sort out.

🍂 This is your autumn mindset reset. We’re in the season of sweater weather and fresh starts, and there’s no better time to rake up the old limiting beliefs and compost them into clarity. Because while the leaves are falling, it’s your turn to rise.


And by BS, I mean your Belief System (and yes, perhaps a little Bull Sh*t too).

Let’s play with it. Because honestly?

  • You’ve probably read a hundred “mindset” posts before.
  • Maybe even tried a few affirmations, journal prompts, or podcasts.

But if your belief system still sounds like background BS… it’s time to rewrite it.

The problem? Your BS is trying to run a business it has no business being in.

  • Old stories.
  • Outdated identities.
  • Thoughts rooted in past experiences or someone else’s fear that got handed to you.

So today, let’s flip the script. Let’s talk about practical mindset shifts and simple actions you can take to rewire your inner world, so your outer results can finally catch up.

Here’s how to spot your BS, stop it in its tracks, and rewrite your money-making mindset.


Step One: Call Out the Crap

📝 Grab a notebook. Write down all the icky, negative, self-doubting thoughts:

  • “No one’s buying.”
  • “My posts suck.”
  • “I’ll never make this work.”
  • “Why would anyone listen to me?”
  • “I’m too late to start.”
  • “I’ve failed too many times already.”
  • “What if I’m not cut out for this?”
  • “I should be further along by now.”
  • “I don’t have what it takes.”

Once it’s out of your brain and on paper, it loses some power.

Now.. take a big RED pen. Yes, red. Scribble them out. Like a breakup letter to self-sabotage.

Rip it up. Burn it. Toss it.

That’s you reclaiming your authority over your inner dialogue.


Step Two: Write a Better Story

📓 On a clean page, write three new beliefs you want to live by:

  • “People love what I offer and sales come daily.”
  • “I’m building something beautiful—one bold step at a time.”
  • “My business supports my peace and my paycheck.”

Here are a few more to inspire you:

  • “My content connects and converts.”
  • “It’s safe for me to be seen and sell.”
  • “Money flows to me because I show up with purpose.”
  • “I’m not behind.. I’m right on time.”
  • “Even on slow days, I’m still making progress.”
  • “I trust the process and honor my pace.”

Say them. See them. Believe them.

Repeat them every morning. Multiple times a day when you’ve come to need it most.

Your words become your path.


Step Three: Take Small Aligned Action

Here’s where most people mess up - they affirm without action.

Want to rewire your mindset fast? Pair belief with behavior:

✅ Post something— .. even if it’s not perfect.
✅ Email your list—.. even if it’s tiny.
✅ Talk to a potential customer—.. even if your voice shakes.

And while you’re at it:

  • Track your tiny wins.
  • Celebrate progress over perfection.
  • Stay in rooms (aka circles and communities) where women talk about momentum, not just mindset.

🍁 Tip: Let fall be your motivator. Just like the leaves change, so can you. This is the perfect time to reflect, reset, and reach toward your version of success.


Step Four: Use a System That Supports You

The truth? Mindset grows faster when we’re using tools that have that perfect "fuzzy fall glove" feel good fit.

That’s why I teach digital marketing for beginners:

  • Done-for-you templates.
  • Automated systems.
  • Daily support.

It helps get us our of own way and head .. No tech headaches. No cold DMs. No exhausting sales calls.

Just a step-by-step path that helps us build real income.. without losing our peace in the process.

Because nothing fuels belief faster than a win. (Even a tiny one.)

🍂 Bonus: Don’t Forget Your Content

If you’re not creating consistent, compelling content, your audience can’t connect. Content creation is the spark that starts conversation.

No content = no clicks, no convos, no conversions.

This fall, let your reels, posts, and Pinterest pins do the talking. Watch what’s getting views, saves, shares.. and tweak what’s not.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present.

If all you’re posting is inspirational memes and coffee quotes (which we love, don’t get me wrong ☕), but your offer never gets seen? Then your content needs a shake up, a little makeover this season.


Step Five: Flip It with Fun & Sass

That voice that says, “This won’t work”? Add yet.

  • “This isn’t working.” → “This isn’t working yet.”
  • “I don’t know what I’m doing.” → “I don’t know what I’m doing yet.. but I’m learning fast.”
  • “I feel stuck.” → “I feel stuck, which means a breakthrough’s about to happen.”

This isn’t toxic positivity. It’s flipping the lens and choosing better focus.

You’re the one narrating this story. Time to choose a plot twist and pivot that works in your favor.

Let’s build belief. Let’s build income. Let’s build your version of success, one that actually feels like YOU.
