Scientists say smelling this before a workout can enhance athletic performance. What are you sniffin?! @Kristi Rieke

BUT TODAY IT FINALLY COOPERATED. On September 14, after four years of a love-hate relationship with GHL, I decided to move everything to Systeme.io. Switching my domain should have been a walk in the park. It wasn’t. AWS held my domain hostage, and even the experts couldn’t get it released until October 7. 😩 Meanwhile, I couldn’t schedule podcast episodes, share my Money Archetype Quiz or prepare for the debut of my new offer on October 20. I prayed over it. I followed up. I waited. I seriously considered ditching Systeme.io and finding something easier. But I also knew I had joined through someone’s affiliate link, and walking away meant they would lose that income. So I ran it by Bree, decided to stick it out, and kept praying that it would finally work. Today, while reading posts here in The Directory, I felt nudged to check Systeme.io one more time. And guess what? MY DOMAIN VALIDATED! 🙌🔥 I immediately sent up a praise to God because this felt like such a BIG win after weeks of delays, frustration, and second-guessing. My husband asked why I would switch systems during such a busy season in my business. Because GHL was sucking the LIFE out of me with all the complicated steps. Using Base44 with Bree, Chatty, and Claude has already saved me so much time, even though Bree and I have had a few disagreements along the way. Every day, I’m sharpening my tech skills and learning that business growth has layers. Honestly, it reminds me of my money journey. My money story shaped how I spent, the decisions I made, and why I always felt like there was never enough. Changing that didn’t happen in one giant leap. It happened one layer, one decision, and one Money Move at a time. Apparently, tech transformation works the same way. 😂 They say patience is a virtue.

UPDATE: Part of this post was incorrect. Skool runs its own payment system, so Apple and Google don't take a cut of Skool memberships. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ I just learned something that honestly made my blood boil, and you deserve to know it. If you join or pay for a community from inside the Skool app on your iPhone or Android, Apple or Google takes up to 30% of EVERY payment. Not just the first one. Every month. They did nothing to earn it. They just own the app store. But here is the part that really gets me. If a friend told you about this community and you clicked their link through the mobile app, that friend gets NOTHING. Not the first commission. Not any of them. Ever. Their referral can't be tracked through Apple's or Google's checkout, so the person who sent you here gets zero while a trillion-dollar company pockets 30%. I don't know about you but I would much rather that money go to a real person than to Apple. So please do this one thing for me. If you are on your phone, open your browser (Safari, Chrome, whatever you use), open the join link there, and sign up through the website. It takes ten extra seconds but your money goes to the community and to the friend who referred you instead of an app store. And one more thing. If you're browsing Skool's discovery page looking for a community to join, check first whether one of your Skool friends has a referral link for it. Same community, same price for you, but instead of the money flowing straight to the big guys, it lands with a real person. Thank you for reading this. Now go tell a friend!
