WELCOME TO MARGIN NOTES
The newsletter that helps you build a part-time business that doesn’t eclipse your full-time life.
Subscribe for weekly conversations about growing a real-life-first business that feels good and works for you.
You want to do it all—build your business AND enjoy your life.
But the only way to have both is to realize you can’t do it all.
Sometimes you’ll put things in the margins of your business because life is life-ing, and sometimes you’ll put things in the margins of your life because your business blew up — in a good way or the not-so-good way.
Some seasons will be more “business,” while others will be more “life.” Both seasons are valid, both are important, and both are possible…
*If* you know how to strategically build your business to actually work with your life, not against it.
Margin Notes helps you navigate the tension of growing while doing less.
This is a place for online business owners who feel that tension as they try to balance career and business and rest and fun. The ones trying to answer “What goes in the margins this week?” and “What works for me? For my brain?”Â
If you have a business that you want to see succeed — but not at the expense of the other things you love — Margin Notes is for you.
Hey! I’m Jamie — and my entire business is run in the margins.
Look, my life is full. Full of things I want to spend my time on.
Things like my full-time career (which I love) and my business as a coach and systems strategist (which I also love).Â
I spend time with family and friends, I crochet (sometimes) and bake (often), and I’ll never say no to a Schitt’s Creek rewatch (seriously).
And I bet your life’s full too.
Full from your 9-5. Full from your caregiving responsibilities. Full from travel, or school, or dealing with chronic illness. Full from being a normal person with a normal, busy life!
No matter what keeps your life full, you deserve to have a business that works with you — and that’s what Margin Notes is here to help you do.

Margin Notes is for you if you…
Â
✔️ Are an online business owner past the point of “getting started” but still don’t feel like you have it all “figured out”Â
 ✔️ Plan to stay “small.” No scaling, no hiring, no going “full-time”—you want your business on the side long-term
 ✔️ Have thought, “Can I really keep this up?” at any point in the last month (or week) (or 24 hours)
✔️ Are tired of all the “shoulds” you see every time you scroll social media and are ready to find what works for your life
✔️ Love the idea of a “boring business” and would choose dependable > trendy every day
These are the “how I *actually* make it all work” conversations you’ve always wanted in on.
And they’ll make you feel good—and inspired—every single week. You in?
