October's just five weeks out 👀 and if your business runs on visibility (𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮), the ones who plan ahead are the ones who can actually make moves when it counts, instead of scrambling last minute. Here's what 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 looks like for the move makers in this community. Premium members get the luxury of: ✔️ Real links. Actual 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗤𝗥 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀 to wherever your business lives — your site, your PDF, your waitlist, whatever it is... 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙠𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮! You can finally point people somewhere instead of hoping they DM you. ✔️ A whole 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱, not just a submission form. Your own back office to plan and post your events. No more "wait, did I already submit that?" ✔️ 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲. Your name, pinned at the top of the community page in the weekly event lineup — visible inside the community. Plus your full event lives on the public Event Showcase page, visible to everyone in the community AND everyone who visits from outside it too. (Think SEO — new eyes that were never here before.) ✔️ 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀. Proximity is power baby! Getting in the room with people who have connections or solutions to problems you're facing — or you have the solution to theirs — that's what makes these calls actually work. Plus your personality gets out there; people get to know who you really are, not just your business card version. Join live and your links get added to the replay too, so you're still getting exposure even if you can't stay the whole time.

Y'all showed up in a BIG way for Back to Basics last weekend pulling in 944 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨. That's insane and awesome all in one! This community definitely knows how to play: show up, give feedback, help each other level up. So we're doing it again... I mean, it's the weekend, y'all expect it at this point. 😉 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆: Drop below what you're working on... one-liner, graphic, CTA, whatever you want eyes on. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 — 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽! Then go give feedback on a few others using the light system: 🔴 Needs work — vague, doesn't land, missing the hook, etc. 🟡 Getting there — good bones, but something's holding it back 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — this is clear and ready to go ... I would click this! Give feedback before you ask for it. As alwasys, the best rounds are the ones where everyone's playing both sides. 🏆 Shoutout to our last weekend winner! @Jennifer Rassbach! She doesn't even know it yet, but she showed up in a huge way, giving thoughtful feedback to 𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙙𝙤𝙯𝙚𝙣 different members. And that, my friends, is what being a team player is all about 💥 Every week we have a winner! Jennifer claimed last week and whoever gives the most valuable feedback this round earns a 24-hour pinned post too! Let's see if we can beat 944. Who's getting the green light this weekend?! 🚦

Today's Power Mingle took us from free vs. paid communities and school metrics chasing to a real conversation about starting over: what we'd each do differently if we rebuilt our communities from scratch. The replay is now waiting inside the 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 along with links to connect with today's members included. 🎉 Shoutout to @Karin Crawford — her interactive workshop "𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺, 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴" is coming up in September, check it out! ✨ Premium and VIP Members get automatic access to join us live for future Power Mingles... so come pull up a chair! We'd love to see you at the next one! 👏 Thanks to today's Power Mingle crew! @Lisa Drennon • @Lisa Vanderveen • @Liisa Reimann • @Kristi Rieke • @Angel Conway • @Heather Cooksey • @Mary-Heather Fajardo • @Karin Crawford • @Mary Morton • @Clare Goodall

💡 A tiny exercise for anyone who keeps thinking, “I want to build something of my own… but I have no idea what my thing would be.” Open the Notes app on your phone and start a note called: Things I Know That Other People Might Not Then start collecting evidence. Ask yourself: → What do people naturally ask me for help with? → What have I figured out the hard way? → What can I do now that used to feel really difficult? → What have I spent years learning about? → What problem have I solved for myself? → What could I help a beginner do faster because I’ve already made all the mistakes? 😂 And here's the important part: Don't try to turn any of it into a business idea yet. That's where we tend to overthink it. Something may feel completely ordinary to you because you've known it for years — while someone else is sitting there thinking, “I wish somebody would just show me how to do this.” A few years ago, I didn't even know what the + button on TikTok was for. 😂 Now I could sit down with someone who's never made a video and save her HOURS of confusion. Sometimes we don't recognize what we know because we're standing on the other side of learning it. So here's your tiny challenge for today: Come up with 10 things. That's it. Don't choose a niche. Don't build an offer. Definitely don't open Canva yet. 😂 Just make the list. And if you're in that season where you're ready to stop only promoting, selling, or building other people's things and you're wondering what your own thing could look like, that's exactly the kind of stuff we're working through over in The Build Lab. It's a new community Judy and I created for women who want to take what they already know, turn it into something of their own, and actually build it — without feeling like they have to figure every damn thing out alone. We're just getting started over there, and I'd love to have you come build with us. 💜 If that sounds like where you are right now, come find us in The Build Lab. 🔨🧪

I am working on putting together a content calendar for me and @Judy Gudmestad . We have 5 different platforms with different schedules and the community posts. I am trying to get Chat to do it and it's not cooperating. I could do it the long way, but with alllllll the AI out there's gotta be something that can do it for me. What do you y'all use?
