This is for you @Mimi Ramsey 📣 “Mom, something is wrong with my toilet!” I grew up under the tutelage of parents who were firm believers in DIY. If something broke, you fixed it. If you didn’t know how, you learned. By the time I was a teenager, I had at least an apprentice‑level understanding of most of the trades. So naturally, when I had kids, I started teaching them the same skills. But adulthood has a way of shifting the math. I eventually realized that DIY wasn’t always the most productive, or the most cost‑effective, use of my time. Calling a handyman often made more sense. Still, all those years of learning mattered. When I did call someone, I knew what the problem was. I knew the difference between “replace the flushing mechanism” and “you need a whole new toilet.” That knowledge protected me from being upsold, misled, or overwhelmed. But my kids weren’t growing up in the same circumstances I did. They were busy. I was busy. And I found myself wondering: How do you teach someone to know whether they need a plumber, an electrician, or just a $20 part from aisle 14? So on this particular day, when my daughter announced her toilet crisis, I slipped right back into DIY mode. We assessed the situation. It was the flushing mechanism. A simple fix. Off to Home Depot we went. An hour later, after instructions, explanations, and a few “pay attention” moments, the toilet was working perfectly again. ☎️ “Mom,” she said, “why didn’t we just call a plumber?” And that’s when it clicked. You don’t have to be the one to do the work. But knowing what needs to be done gives you power. It gives you clarity. It gives you agency. It keeps you from outsourcing your judgment along with the task. Sometimes the skill isn’t in doing the repair. Sometimes the skill is in understanding the problem well enough to choose your next step with confidence.

Right I need to say something and I don’t know if it’s just me being dramatic-ish but I am BORED of content at the minute. Not bored of people.Not bored of businesses. BORED of the way we’re all packaging ourselves. I’m KINDA yawning… and that makes me sad. There is SO much content online right now that is technically fine… and yet I feel absolutely not TOFU sausage about it. It’s like beige on beige with a side of beige. Like I read it and I’m like… yes. That is a sentence. Well done. Words were used. Structure happened. Paragraphs were paragraphed. And yet my soul is sat there going, “hmmm… wot… meh.” And before anyone starts GETTING THEIR KNICKERS IN A TWIST, I am DEFO not excluding myself in this. Been there. Done it. Got the huge twisty knickers and the oversized T-shirt to prove it. TEEHEE. Look, I know there are loads of factors at play. A big one I’m gonna blame (yes brace ya selves) is AI diminishing so many people’s creativity and peeps all starting to sound the same. Now before anyone panics, I am NOT anti-AI. I bloody love it. It has some EPIC uses. BUT it will never EVER be you. It can structure. It can tidy. It can assist. It cannot be your nan It cannot be your Tesco breakdown in 2012 It cannot be your weird little side comment that makes everyone go OOOF. That’s what I’m here for. Bringing YOU back. Because here’s where it TOTES gets me. I will jump on a call with someone and within five minutes 🤘FIVE 🤘 they’ve told me a story about a client, their nan, their breakdown in Tesco in 2012, their hot take on some nonsense in their industry and I’m sat there like HELLOOOOOO THAT’S THE STUFF. That’s the magic sauce That’s the EPIC HUMAN bits I love ❤️ That’s the bit that makes me lean in BIG TIME And then they go, “Yeah but I don’t know what to post.” EH? You’ve just delivered content GOLD with a sprinkle of your unique personality on top and you’re telling me you’ve got nout to say? Nope. Not buying it. Pfffftttt… So now I’m a nosey Parker (seriously though… what is a parker?) and I need to ask…

If someone discovers you through a Classified post… the next step is quiet. They click your link. They land on your About Page. They’re deciding whether to lean in. That moment isn’t loud. It’s subtle. Your About Page isn’t there to impress. It’s there to orient. • Who is this for? • What changes for me? • What do I do next? Small refinements here create surprising momentum. Friday night, 8 pm CST, I’m reviewing two About Pages live inside the Make It Work Harder series. Not rewriting them. Looking at signal. Clarity. Flow. If your posts are doing their job… your About Page should feel like a natural next step. Calendar 🗓️ link is here. Workshop is 🆓 and there will be a special offer for LIVE attendees. If you can’t make it, will you drop a timeline, day of the week and ideal time when you could? 👇🏻 I am scheduling another date and time & I need two more volunteers. Who wants to grab a shot??
