Hey everyone 👋 I wanted to open a discussion about something I’ve been analyzing lately. Has anyone else ever looked at their business website and thought: "What are you actually DOING for me?" 😅 I used to think a pretty website was enough. But I realized that having a nice Home/About/Contact page is basically just handing someone a digital business card. They look at it, nod, and leave. And then WE have to do all the heavy lifting: chasing DMs, playing "email tag," and missing calls when we are busy. I’ve been studying the shift from the Static Website to what’s called a Smart System. It requires four specific components working together: 1. Credibility: Professional design that builds instant trust. 2. Mechanisms: Active lead capture tools like AI chatbots and integrated booking calendars. 3. Visibility: SEO-optimized service pages to rank locally. 4. Automation: The backend logic that nurtures leads instantly so the business owner doesn't have to. which part of this flow is the biggest headache for you right now?

I am setting up my skool community right now and I noticed that we can't turn our affiliate link on unless we pay the $99 a month. I'm wondering if others invite people to my community do they still get connected for affiliate payout later, if I start paying the $99 a month after I get paid members? I want to work with other people in my group so I was hoping to pitch the affiliate commission to work with me.

Entrepreneurship is NOT art. And if you don't understand the difference between the two you're going to be in a world of pain. Yes, you CAN blend the two, but they are completely different things and if you're not making at least $10,000/month right now, you need to read this: Entrepreneurship is about the customer. And the more you focus on what the customer wants, the more money you'll make. Entrepreneurship is not about you - at all. I've paid for coaching from people I don't even like. I paid them for what they could offer me. It wasn't about THEM as the coach at all. Conversely, I've NOT paid many coaches I like, simply because their offer sucked. This is because success with entrepreneurship requires you to sell something people want. You have to ask: "What does Jessica want for lunch?" And then you have to make Jessica what she wants. Regardless of if you want it, or not. Jessica doesn't care what you want. But she will happily (and repeatedly) pay you for what SHE wants. Art, though? Art allows you to do whatever you feel like. It has no rules and no boundaries. I just got back from an Art Expo in Brisbane, Australia. It was full of random art pieces. Most were meaningless to me. Some of the pieces I liked. But most I did not. And this is why it's a lot harder to sell art. This is why most artists are broke. They focus soley on themselves, not the buyer. Which is fine! For art. Just don't expect to get rich doing it. Most artist are never taught entrepreneurship and don't realize that getting paid for art is a matter of LUCK. If you create something because YOU want to, and someone just so happens to want to buy it, that's luck! And what do we call an artist who changes their style to sell more stuff? "A SELL OUT!" Yeah, because they've learned the #1 RULE of entrepreneurship: To sell more stuff, make stuff you know people wanna buy. (Note: I'm not a fan of when artists do this, but I understand why they do it.) Personally, I don't run a Skool community teaching people how to make $10,000/month because I'm passionate about MONEY.

I think this is a win for me! I have now figured out how to get leads to my email list! Only a year ago it was hard to get 5 leads a month. I use skool as a tool! I give free stuff away on my skool community and get them on my list with the funnel I created! This is my second week on skool and I have 20+ members! I look forward to the next step of figuring out how to turn my members into paying clients.

” Let me tell you where mine almost broke me There was a point where I felt like my business was slowly eating me alive. Every day felt the same: Switching between roles CEO one minute, editor the next, content creator after that - Trying to think of video ideas - Trying to keep up with trends - Trying to get views that barely moved And honestly? It drained everything out of me. my time, my energy, my creativity, even my confidence. What made it worse was people around me saying, “Just push harder.” “Just post more.” “Just stay consistent.” Meanwhile, I was burning out trying to “be everything” in a business that barely gave anything back. But here’s where the shift happen One day, I stumbled on a completely different opportunity. Something so simple I almost ignored it. As a pet lover, I started creating something small, something meaningful, that didn’t require me to be on camera, didn’t require me to constantly create new content, and didn’t require my brain to be in 5 places at once. People laughed. Some said it would never work. Others said it was a “waste of time.” But guess what? That little spark grew into something that runs with or without me. Something that brings peace instead of pressure. Something that became my road to wealth, not overnight, but steadily, consistently, and without draining my soul every day. Sometimes the freedom you want isn’t found by doing more It’s found by doing something different. Now I interested in knowing. What part of your business drains the MOST time and energy from you right now? The part that makes you feel stuck, exhausted, or questioning if it’s even worth it? Be real. This space is for honesty, and sometimes the answer you’re looking for starts with finally saying the truth out loud. Drop your biggest drain below. I’m genuinely listening. And who knows, your next breakthrough might start right here.
