Sooo, I am going to REWARD the person who is 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟳 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 ON FRIDAY at 16:00 GMT who is a non resident (because they have access to me anyway) with a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝟯𝟬 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝟭:𝟭 session, where you can ask me anything at all. ...But only if you want to of course! If the winner does not wish to have this, it will be offered to the next highest on the board... The current potentials in the running are: @Cristal Vancarson @Aimee Jardon @Laura Williams, MBA, Ed.S @Lee-Ann Oelofse @Riley Saint @Mary Newton @Magalie Delisle @Suzie Kemper 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲..! Let's see how competitive you all are and how much you really want this! Good luck! I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and helping you in person soon. 😁

Building a community is fun and exciting... but its also tough! We're climbing. Slowly, steadily — our discovery rank is moving in the right direction. But slowly is still slow, and building is still hard, and life doesn't pause while you try to figure it out. Some mornings it hits different. So I figured I'd show up here and just tell you who I am and how this whole thing started. Because the story is real, and real is what I've got today. I met my business partner @Mary Newton in a Skool community. Two women, both trying to figure out how to build something that mattered. How to help other women. How to create something that was actually needed — not just another thing on the internet, but something that could help someone skip a few of the painful steps we were walking through in real time. We started talking. Slowly. The way friendships actually build — not all at once, but in layers. And somewhere in those conversations we both realized we were building the same thing from two different angles. Same values. Same wounds. Same vision. So we decided to do it together. Someone to go through the hard parts with. Someone to divide the work with. Someone to build each other up on the mornings that feel exactly like this one. Two paths in. One for the mom, grabbing 45 minutes after bedtime. One for the woman over 50 who's decided it's not too late. Same destination. Same room. No catching up required. We're building it in the stolen hours of our days. Of our families. Of our lives. And we're building it for women who want to reclaim those hours — their worth, their voice, the version of themselves they've been setting aside for everyone else for years. @Adam McCollough reminded my this morning that - Nothing worthwhile is easy. And yeah. That's so completely true. But we're still building. Anyway. If any of this sounds like you— I'd love to connect. 🔥 And here your story too!!

Can we give a massive warm welcome to @Marco Berlin the creator of Skool Extensions who has just joined us as our newest Resident Expert! 🎉 Now let me tell you why I'm genuinely excited about this one. Marco didn't set out to build a Skool extension business. He just looked at Skool after using it for 18 months, noticed a bunch of things that were missing, and thought "I'll just build them." What started as a hobby project has, in the space of a few weeks, turned into what I genuinely believe is going to be 𝘁𝗵𝗲 #𝟭 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 on the planet. This is a prime example of one of my core beliefs - following your passion, solving a problem, and making a business from something because you believe in it. It's just what happens when someone with real skills solves a real problem because they actually care about fixing it. And THAT, my friends, is how it's done! 🙌 No MBA. No big launch strategy. No guru BS. Just a guy who spotted a gap, and built something awesome. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼? Skool Extensions adds all the things Skool doesn't have yet. Things like: - 📅 Community calendar - 💬 Group chat - 🎙️ Voice and video messages - 📌 Bookmarks - Bold text (finally 😅) - Member lists, tagging systems, sales pipelines and CRM profiles for admins - And coming very soon — a full Workflow Builder with Skool Automations that Marco says will be so powerful you won't need any other Chrome extension ever again. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝘁? The member features are 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. (Our favourite price) Not a 14-day trial. Not a "freemium bait and switch." Genuinely powerful features that stay free for you and your members, always. If you want the admin superpowers, there's a premium version at $47/month, and here's the bit I love most: if you recommend it to enough people who go premium, 𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. Marco has set affiliate commissions at 20%, which means this is another tool in your earn-while-you-help toolkit. Very on brand for this community. 😏

What goes in Premium and what is Free? I created a program based on my clinical experience as a therapist and my lived experience. I took what I do in therapy and "put it on paper." The program works - that is not the issue. Where I am struggling - my ethics, morals, and character vs the desire to make money. I've been told that I need to lock down my classroom, lock down my program, and make it all premium. I currently have 4 courses and in May will be starting a new one. Right now, my main program is free. I want members to use it. I charge Premium for anything that is a direct interaction with me: weekly body doubling, weekly live group coaching, and monthly Doom Pile sessions. So my question is: Do I lock down my classroom and make it all premium? Do I continue to do what feels good to me? I don't know. I waver on this all the time.

Rest and relaxation. How often do you indulge in it? As a biz owner it's important to build this into your daily schedule. Yeah, I know, you don't have time. But we all have the same amount of time. So why not make it a non-negotiable. spend one-hour a day unplugging from SM, your biz, and indulge in me-time. Make it a priority. Block out the time on your calendar. Do you know what will happen? 🗝️Your biz will soar. 🗝️You will be serving from a cup that overflows. 🗝️Your body, mind, and spirit will be well rested. For the last two weeks, I've been exploring Japan and Busan, South Korea. This was such a relaxing and wonderful trip and the perfect way to unplug.
