On October 13, VIP member @Jen Sullivan of Money Made SImple is hosting Managing Money = Self-Care. This is what she has to say: You know you should probably deal with your money…but sometimes you just don’t want to. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by where to start, feel guilty about past choices, or managing money just feels like one more thing on your already-too-long to-do list. But we can’t keep ignoring the stress that comes with putting off our finances. I spent years frustrated by money. I felt terribly about my challenges managing income, spending, and saving and stayed in debt much longer than I needed to. I was embarrassed by what I didn’t know, and rather than find help, I struggled alone. Looking back, I didn’t fully recognize the emotional toll it was taking. Once I learned skills to manage my money, my stress level went down, and my confidence grew. Learning how much the benefits impacted me made the effort worth it. In this master class, we’ll talk honestly about the emotions that can come with money and explore how prioritizing your finances can actually be an act of self-care. You’ll learn a simple way to move past the overwhelm, identify what deserves your attention right now, and determine steps for moving forward. No shame. No judgment. Simply putting together a plan to start feeling more confident and in control of your finances. Check the calendar for the exact time.

One of the things I love most about what I do is helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs showcase their expertise to help others and build their businesses. So it means a lot to be selected as one of this year's Oh Yes I Can Women in Business 2026 campaign, She Means Business: 30 Women in 30 Days! I started my online business after having two kids in my 40s during COVID and needing to have more flexibility in my life, not because I was fleeing the 9-5 cubicle. I loved my previous career - it was very rewarding! But moving into the online space allowed me to take all the education, experience, and expertise I had built over 25+ years and use it to help others do the same thing. September 22 is National Women in Business Day, but Oh Yes I Can Women in Business decided one day wasn't enough. Throughout September, they're shining a light on 30 women from the OYIC community, and I'm honored to be one of them. And, I'm in some great company! You can meet all 30 women in this year's eMagazine: https://canva.link/83fj2my29s2luhc Thank you so much to VIP member @Traci Poe for including me in such a meaningful way!

While the Skool CLASSIFIEDS was the first self-promotion community for Skoolers almost exactly a year ago, there are several other things that make it different from other communities out there... 1. As you will see in the photo below, we have had over 23,000 unique visits in the past 30 days!!! The total member numbers themselves only tell a small part of the story. So the next time you are wondering where you should spend your posting time, take a look at how many people are going to see your post. 2. And speaking of members, do you know that the CLASSIFIEDS is one of the most engaged communities on the platform? The majority of communities (especially large communities) have about 70% of their members at level one on the leaderboard. The CLASSIFIEDS has consistently hovered around the 35% mark!!! See photo below. 3. The CLASSIFIEDS is one of the few communities that allows Standard members to promote themselves freely every single day. Haven't posted yet today? Get on it! 😉 4. We are a group of real, authentic, community owners who care about connecting with others to network as well as to learn, grow, and prosper (no, I am not a Star Trek fan!). Our drop-ins and live meetups are well attended and always results in meaningful connections, partnerships, and collaborations. In fact, the VIP Collab Action Group has cross-promoted each other, supported each other, and collaborated with each other on both big and small projects for almost 6 months now, and the outcomes have been incredible!!! Want to learn more about becoming a VIP member? Check out an info session on the calendar at the beginning of September and then submit your application between Aug 27 and Sep 10! We'd love to have you!!!
