I really appreciate that so many of you are directly asking me for advice and questions in the DMS, which I do actively encourage because conversation leads to opportunities for everyone. HOWEVER, I am only one person with so many hours in each day and I literally cannot keep up. Because I want to help all of you and some of you are waiting weeks for a reply from me. I would really encourage you to make a new post here in the group with your question, and tag the most appropriate resident experts who is most likely to be able to be able to assist. (I'm @Adam McCollough ) That way our conversations are also open and available to help other people who might have similar problems, you will get your problem solved faster, and you will have the help and different viewpoints of 20 experts and 500 community members. There is a category already set up called. "Ask an expert". Please feel free to continue to send me DMS, I love hearing from all of you but I just want to let you know that this could be a much more effective way to find answers. I will also be adding an ask me anything live session every week in the free community tier when the tiers go live in the middle of this month, so watch the calendar for this and be sure to add it to your personal calendar as a recurring event.

Most marketing tells us to create more content. I believe the better question is: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬? That's why I created 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐚𝐛 - a weekly working session where business owners build a simple relationship-marketing system they can actually stick with. Every Thursday, we focus on one thing: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝. If you've been craving more momentum and less guesswork, I'd love to invite you to join us.

In typical Adam ADHD (Adam Does Have Distractions as my daughter calls it) style yet again I've over committed so the pond clearing day last week went really well and every single day since I've been out there for an hour or two, cleaning duckweed out of the lower pond, repairing both pumps, repairing two punctures in the liners and completely rebuilding the filter and UV box. Yes, I could buy a whole brand new one for cheaper than my time is worth, but 1. Where is the satisfaction in that and 2. I like to be as green as possible. So now our kitchen is full of parts, the front garden still has pond debris waiting to dry out in the sun before I get rid of it in the woods (so it won't spread) and 3/4 of an overgrown fir tree in three piles waiting to be chipped (after I've sharpened the wood chipper blades) and logged up. I have lots of weeding to still do behide the pond and clean and repair the waterfall. So now my list also includes building a romantic arch, planting a wisteria, red robin, honeysuckle, cherry laurel and griselania. Every day is progress.. and fun...😁
