Cathryn Lavery and Allen Brouwer are the duo behind the Kickstarter success the SELF Journal, a powerful yet simple daily planner to help you structure your day, enjoy life, and reach your goals quicker than you thought possible.
The duo behind this project asked for $15,000 to make the SELF Journal happen … and received $322,695.
During our conversation, we cover:
- How they found each other online and became co-founders
- Why they chose to create a physical journal, no technology included
- The life-changing benefits of morning rituals
- What it's really like to bring a best-selling Kickstarter campaign to life
- The challenge and opportunities they're facing now
- How they collaborate living in 2 different states
- Beating Resistance when it creeps up on you
- The balance between quantity versus quality
My favorite moment is when Allen shared the truth and hardest part of being an entrepreneur:
"Being an entrepreneur, there's no one looking over your shoulder or giving you deadlines to get things done. It's yourself at the end of the day pushing yourself forward."
