Quick question… How many of you have tried: • random offers • different niches • “methods” from YouTube • courses that promise everything …and still feel like nothing is really clicking? Yeah. Same. I’ve been doing this for 10 years and here’s the honest truth: Most of what you see online is built to get views… not results. The stuff that actually makes money is way simpler than people think. 👇 I want to hear from you: Where are you stuck right now? Be real… • Not getting traffic? • Don’t know what to promote? • Overthinking everything? • Tried stuff and it didn’t work? Drop it below ⬇️ I’ll go through the replies, respond, and turn the best questions into posts and resources for the group so everyone benefits. Let’s actually build something that works… not just talk about it 🍹

Not because I’m anti-social media or think it’s evil, but because I realized I was playing the wrong role. I was a consumer pretending to be a creator. You know the routine: Open Instagram to “check engagement.” 30 minutes later you’re watching reels that have nothing to do with your business. Jump on Facebook to post in a group. Somehow end up doom scrolling your feed. The math wasn’t mathing. I was spending hours a day consuming other people’s content and maybe 20 minutes creating my own. So here’s my 2026 shift: Social media stays on my desktop. Intentional access only. Scheduled times. My phone? That’s for creating. Voice memos for content ideas. Recording videos. Writing emails. Engaging with my actual community. I’m not disappearing from social platforms. I’m just changing my relationship with them. I’ll show up, add value, engage with people, and leave. No mindless scrolling. No comparing. No rabbit holes. Creator mode vs. Consumer mode. One builds your business. The other kills your time. If you’re serious about growing in 2026, ask yourself: What percentage of your social media time are you actually creating vs. just watching what everyone else is doing? The algorithm doesn’t care about your goals. But you should. Let’s build something this year instead of just watching other people build. Who’s with me?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hello everyone. I had to join this community. I couldn't resist because the idea of a Beach Bum University just resonates with me. I am not a big Jimmy Buffett fan but anything that seems to have a touch of that vibe is something I couldn't resist. I do have a couple of songs of his on a USB stick. I do love beaches, and have spent a lot of time on Southern California beaches like Malibu, Zuma, Santa Monica, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Huntington Beach, etc. It's good to be here!
