Real question: Have you started seeing people online say "Grab my Skill!" yet? 🙋‍♀️ If you use Claude, you will. It's everywhere right now. And I want to put my arm around you for a second before you click that download. ☕ Here's the part nobody tells you… A "Skill" isn't just a note. It can carry little hidden instructions — and sometimes tiny programs that actually RUN on your computer. Think of it like a recipe card from a stranger… except some recipe cards can quietly open your fridge, read your mail, and text your secrets to whoever wrote them. Most are totally fine. But you can't tell the safe ones from the sneaky ones just by looking at the pretty cover. So here's the rule, and it's a kind one: 🔥 Don't grab a Skill from just anyone. A real name. A real reputation. Someone you'd actually vouch for. Not a random viral post. 🔥 And when you do grab one — let Claude read it FIRST. Just say: "Read this Skill out loud to me. Explain what it does in plain English. Does it try to run code, read my files, or send anything out? Then adapt it for my business — and ask me anything you need before you build it." That one little step turns a stranger's mystery box into something that's actually yours. Clean. Safe. Built for you. We're not scared of new tools here. 💃 We're just the smart ones who check the recipe card before we eat. 😋 Have you seen the "Grab my Skill" posts yet?

Because I’ve got ADHD, my default setting is scattered chaos. I’ve got thousands of new ideas New projects? I want to start all of them, and right NOW! New opportunities? I was already halfway in before I’d finished the last thing. And that’s exactly why I HAD TO MAKE A RULE: I’m only allowed to focus on ONE NEW THINg at a time… and I have to COMMIT to it for a full 90 days. No quitting early. No “this isn’t working.” No jumping ship because something shinier came along. I can tweak. I can improve. I can pivot slightly. But I cannot give up. Why 90 days? Because most things don’t fail… they just don’t get enough time and commitment. This is especially true with anything driven by algorithms, such as social media, Etsy, Amazon, digital sales, content, whatever. These platforms reward consistency, not bursts of enthusiasm. It's like going to the gym. You get far better results scheduling your gym days, and turning up and doing your thing consistently. 💪 In a year you'll see much better results than if you'd gone all in for two weeks then gave up. You don’t get results because you tried once. You get results because you didn’t stop. I’ve seen this play out more times than I can count, in areas that I know would have succeeded. When we first started selling toys online, we got traction pretty quickly. Nothing crazy, but enough to know it worked. My brother-in-law Jamie saw what we were doing… and copied it almost exactly. Same idea. Same products. Same e-commerce platform. Same time. Same opportunity... Fast forward 20 years: We went on to open toy shops. He’s still a bus driver. The ONLY difference ...? He gave up too early. 😖 Same story again… I’ve got a colleague, Barry who makes very similar wooden products to us. I told him years ago to get onto Amazon Handmade. We were doing it. It worked. I sat down and spent an entire day showing him exactly how we do it. Getting his store set up, how the images should be, how to optimise the listings, how to research the right keywords, everything he needed to know to succeed.

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!!
