Systemized Wealth

Helping 6 Figure Earning Millennials stop needing to make constant choices around their finances. Setting up a Money System that automatically runs for you is a not a revolutionary new fad but one that has been proven over and over by the successful.

Creating an Automated System:
-Builds Increased focus on specific Goals
-Helps identify the next step you need to take with your finances
-Cuts out the fluff you don't need to be focused on
-Eliminates the Day-to-Day stress of making choices around money

So instead of questioning where money is going and constantly being in the hamster wheel, you'll be able to identify and make vast improvements in your financial lives so you can focus on what really matters.

Self-Employed

Having worked with over 100+ families, I realized that most families are unable to identify and focus on specific financial goals.

Mainly because no one has ever sat down with them 1:1 to walk them through how to.

Being able to pinpoint the exact number you need to be saving and where it needs to be going is a powerful concept when establishing goals. And having helped saved over $10,000's in taxes, fees, and other pains, I recognized how important it is to have proper financial education and structure.

📌 WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
"My email list is a money maker.  I depend on it heavily to do a bunch of things.  And when the deliverability and bounce rates just climbed up I was alarmed.  I tried to fix the problem myself, which ended up making things a bit worse.  I had to shelf my list for almost a month.  Karen swooped in and was able to correctly diagnose the problem, which turned out to be a bit more complicated (Go Daddy, Gmail suite, old email ownership).  She gave me a great plans to fix, restore and get it back.  And BOOM.  I'm back online making cash with the list.  Thanks Karen!"  ~Doug Lawson

I had a bodyguard growing up.

And he happened to be a giant black cat.

His name was Squeaky.

My parents got him before my brother and I were born, and from that moment on, he chose my dad as “his human.”

He would curl up on my dad’s chest, sleep on him whenever he sat on the couch, and follow him everywhere.

So when two noisy little kids suddenly arrived…
Squeaky was not thrilled.

He was big, aloof, independent, and politely indifferent to us most of the time.
He’d leave the room the second we entered.

But whenever one of us got hurt or started crying…
everything changed.

Squeaky would sprint across the house
plant himself between us and our parents
and refuse to let them near.

Growling.
Hissing.
Doing the full bodyguard routine.

We learned fast that if we wanted comfort from our parents,
we had to stop crying quickly
or the black-cat-security-team would activate.

Looking back, it makes me smile.
The cat who barely tolerated us
was the one who protected us the fiercest.

Love shows up in unexpected ways.

Sometimes the quietest ones watch over you the most.

Did you ever have a childhood pet with a huge personality like this?

(Instead of Black Friday - I decided to do Black Cat Friday 🐈‍⬛)

Two clients came to me recently with totally different email problems.

One didn't have an email list - too overwhelmed to start.

The other had been emailing… but his open rates tanked and he couldn’t figure out why.

Different situations.

Same root problem:
The foundation wasn’t strong enough.

Because in 2025, email is no longer “just create an email list, send and see what happens.”

You need the right setup.
The right strategy.
A sending rhythm.
Clean segmentation.
Warm domain.
Clear purpose behind every email.

Otherwise your list quietly stops performing… long before you ever realize it.

That’s why I released two Email Strategy Kits today.

One for getting your email list set up correctly…
and one for optimizing the list you already have so you can land in more inboxes.

So if your plans are to use an email list in 2026 - make sure to get the foundations correct (so you don't need to hire me later).

If you want the details, DM me “KITS” and I’ll send you the link.

My inbox has been flooded this month.

"Our emails are suddenly landing in spam." 
"Someone is spoofing our domain." 
"Our open rates dropped 40% overnight."

Here's what's happening:
Gmail is cracking down harder than ever. 

I'm seeing more spam placement in the past 30 days than the previous six months combined.

And it's not just poor setup anymore - it's businesses with authentication that used to work fine suddenly getting flagged.

Why now?

Gmail tightened enforcement. 
Probably before Black Friday.
SPF and DKIM that were "good enough" last quarter aren't anymore. 
DMARC at p=none? 
You're essentially inviting spoofers to impersonate you.

The businesses reaching out thought they had a "content problem" or that "engagement dropped a little."

No. Gmail never let your emails through.

If you're seeing this:
- Check your DMARC policy (p=none won't save you)
- Review your SPF and DKIM records NOW
- Monitor your deliverability weekly, not monthly
- Look at your DMARC reports 

This isn't a trend. 
It's the new baseline.
Your emails are either authenticated properly, or they're invisible.

What are you seeing in your inbox placement lately?

Every minute, hundreds of millions of emails fly across the internet.

And Black Friday pushed that into overdrive. 
Cyber Monday does it again.

If your inbox felt impossible this weekend, you weren’t imagining it.

Across the industry, sending volume spikes so fast that filters tighten, inboxes overflow, and even great emails get buried.

This isn’t a content problem.
It’s a visibility problem.

When billions of emails hit inboxes in a 48-hour window, everything shifts.
Engagement looks different.
Deliverability behaves differently.
Authentication issues that were quiet last week suddenly show up.
And small sender reputation dips turn into bigger ones.

Most business owners don’t realize how much holiday sending impacts their list.

They look at open rates or clicks and assume something went wrong with the message.

But often, it’s the environment around the message that changed.

If your numbers look strange today, or if your emails felt quieter than usual, it doesn’t mean your list is broken.

It means it’s recovering.

What surprised you about your inbox this weekend?

P.S. Stay tuned - I have something coming to help you understand exactly what to look for once this Black Friday and Cyber Monday surge settles.

When someone unsubscribes…

It feels personal.
It feels like a loss.
But it’s not.

An unsubscribe is almost always a win for your email list.

Why?
Because people who never open your emails don’t help your deliverability.
They hurt it.

Email providers judge you based on engagement.

If you keep sending to subscribers who haven’t opened anything in months, inbox providers assume your emails aren’t wanted - and you get pushed closer to spam or promotions.

So when someone unsubscribes?
Your list gets healthier.
Your engagement goes up.
Your deliverability improves.

And a healthier list → more visibility → more revenue.

Unsubscribes aren’t rejection.
They’re maintenance.
They help you reach the people who actually want what you send.

A smaller, more engaged list always outperforms a large, disengaged one.

Treat every unsubscribe as someone clearing space so your business can grow.

Do you review your list regularly - or are you still hanging on to every address “just in case”?

When Someone Unsubscribes...

I subscribed to 25 random email lists last week.

Over 80% were set up wrong.

Not "a little off." 
Not "needs improvement." 

I mean -  incomplete authentication, broken SPF records, missing DKIM, DMARC stuck at p=none, and zero deliverability monitoring.

Most of these businesses have no idea their emails are disappearing before they reach the inbox.

Here's what nobody tells you...
Email authentication isn't a one-and-done setup. 
It's ongoing maintenance.

New tool? Update your SPF. 
New sending platform? Reconfigure DKIM. 
New domain? Restart warmup. 
DMARC reports? Review them weekly.

And p=none doesn't protect you - it just lets anyone spoof your domain while you "pass" DMARC tests and Gmail watches.

Your email performance isn't a content problem. 
It's a setup problem.
If you don't maintain it, you lose it.

Is your email setup one of the 80%?

Most email lists don’t plummet overnight.

They fade quietly.

Here’s what I mean:

People think deliverability issues happen suddenly.
They don't.

What actually happens is much slower and far more subtle:
You miss a week.
Then you miss two.
Then you send something random to “catch up.”
It feels off.
Your audience feels it too.
Open rates dip.
Your ESP notices.
Your domain reputation softens, inch by inch.
Suddenly you’re in promo.
Then spam.
And you don’t even know when it happened.

Every list has a rhythm.
When you break it, the list breaks with it.

This isn’t about “sending more.”
And it’s definitely not about sending “better content.”

It’s about:
- sending with intention
- understanding your sending patterns
- keeping your domain warm
- maintaining predictable list health
- building trust through consistency
- and having a clear purpose behind every email you send

The lists that grow are the lists that follow a rhythm.
Not a schedule - a rhythm.

P.S. If you’re not sure where your own rhythm broke, I still have a couple of Email List Gameplan spots open. Happy to send details.
