If you’ve been saying, “I really want to try UGC…” consider this your little nudge to LOCK. IN. 👀 Q4 is coming, which means brands are about to need content for holiday launches, gifting, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, New Year campaigns… all the things. And something a lot of beginners don’t realize: 👉 You do NOT need paid brand work before you can build a UGC portfolio. Pick 5-6 products you already own. Create solid sample videos. Add a few content/product photos. Get that portfolio LIVE. You don’t need to spend September making it perfect. You need to spend September getting READY. 🙌 If getting your portfolio finished is the part keeping you stuck, I break it down into simple, actionable steps inside my UGC community for FREE with fun challenges!

Our very first Step Into Your Next Level Summit is officially in the books, and I’m still taking it all in. When @Dr. Stephanie Murauskas and I launched Skool Summit Stage on May 25th, we started at ZERO. About 10 weeks later, we’re closing in on 1,000 members and just wrapped an incredible 3-day summit with 35 amazing speakers. Was everything perfect? Nope. Did we learn a TON? Absolutely. But watching this community come together over those three days made every bit of work behind the scenes worth it. To every single speaker who shared their time, knowledge, stories, strategies, and expertise with this community, THANK YOU. We truly could not have done this without you. I’m going to tag all 35 of you in the comments because you deserve the recognition. ❤️ And to every MEMBER who showed up live, asked questions, supported our speakers, connected with each other, upgraded, grabbed replays, shared the summit, or simply joined us along the way… THANK YOU. You are the reason we built this community in the first place. This was summit was just the 1st We learned a lot, we have a lot of ideas, and you better believe the next one will be even better. But before we move on, I want to hear from YOU. 👇 Drop your TOP 3 favorite sessions from the summit in the comments. There are NO right or wrong answers. We had 35 incredible speakers covering completely different topics, so I’m genuinely curious which three impacted YOU the most. And speakers, you can play too. 😉

Then I started wondering.🧐 What happens if Facebook changes the rules, your account gets restricted, or the platform just isn't showing your content to the people who want to see it? How do you stay connected with the people who are interested in what you have to offer? That's exactly why we're hosting an Email Marketing 101 Masterclass tomorrow inside the 2nd Act Now Community.

My husband and I are Canadians now living in Panama, and I’ve built my online business helping people over 50 create a new path to retirement income, without the stress, tech headaches, or ongoing expenses that usually come with it. A few years ago, I was drowning in credit card debt and wondering how I’d ever afford to retire. Finding simple systems, with support, Step-by-step training that takes the tech fear out of the equation has provided me with real growth, and now I love showing others how they can do the same, on their own terms. I’m excited to be here, connect with like-minded people, and share what’s worked for me on this journey to freedom and flexibility.
