A thought I keep coming back to lately... I talk to a lot of salespeople in Direct Sales Mastery, and almost everyone says the same thing when their pipeline dries up. "I just need to send more messages." But every time I actually watch someone turn it around, it's never because they cold messaged harder. It's because they started just... talking to people. Commenting, replying, being useful in random threads, without an agenda. By the time they ask for a call, it doesn't even feel like a pitch anymore. Kind of ironic that the "network less, connect more" approach works better than actual networking 😂 Anyone else notice this? I love seeing how people here build relationships before they ever try to sell anything. What's actually working for you?

Just wanted to share with one of my favorite communities.

My brilliant business friend Michelle Thomas featured me in her Front Row Pass email today, and I'm buzzing about it! Michelle wrote her book, Radical Happiness for High Vibe Humans, with me a while back, and this is what she had to say: "Rachel turned twenty years of chaos in my head into an actual book. She gave me structure, momentum and belief when I wanted to quit. Six weeks later Radical Happiness existed. If your book lives in your head, she gets it out." Michelle, thank you. Truly. And now, because she's put such a lovely spotlight on it, I want to tell you about what she was talking about. Your Business Book: Planned Together is my four week programme for business owners who've got a book bouncing around their head and no idea how to get it out. Live coaching, a brand new workbook, WhatsApp support, and a chapter by chapter roadmap you'll actually want to follow. There are 12 founder spaces open right now. Actually 10, because the first 2 people hopped straight in. We'll be doing some free pre-work together next week. Doors close midnight, Friday 31st July. We start Monday 3rd August. If your book has been sat quietly gathering dust in your head for months (or years), this is your sign. Details are in the Write Your Business Book community - it's free to join!

Every last stitch is coming off as members reveal the most intimate parts of their funnels. (What did you think I was talking about?) The best way to see if your marketing is working is to lay it bare. Get someone else's eyes on it. See it through a different lens—one that doesn't have your context of months of: - late nights plotting out your offer - testing this headline and that - wrestling with your ideal client avatar - building a kickass Claude quiz - making scroll-stopping graphics - trying out different CTAs We're a couple days into member-led Open Case Week, where our squad leaders are walking in their clients' shoes -- seeing how they go from "who are you?" to "take my money!!!" And the lessons are coming like a 4th of July finale... - simple beats complicated every damn time - your entry and exit doors have to be 100% aligned - it should feel like a blissful summer stroll, not like you're Indiana Jones dodging knives and fire and crushing boulders - and so much more. Today we have the fabulous Rachel Harmsworth, book coach extraordinaire, walking us through her funnel. Building in public, because it's the public that buys! There's still time to jump in and learn, give feedback, or do a walk-through of your own. Join the #1 Funnel Squad on Skool now! :)

I’ve built multiple six figure community based businesses before. The hilarious part is that I never really fit in with the business world. The louder everyone got…The quieter I got… my whole inner being was just like “nope, fuck that ish” The more people talked about hustle, domination, scaling, persuasion, closing… The more I found myself thinking… “Eh… I’m gonna do it my own way.” Turns out… that worked pretty damn well 😈 Not that the hustle bros are wrong, if it works for you then awesome… but it doesn’t bring my soul joy so it wasn’t for me. Guess what? There isn’t one right way to build a business. There are plenty of people who thrive on hustle culture AND I was Absofuckinglutely never going to be one of them 🤪 When I found Skool, I finally started finding the weird, quirky entrepreneurs who built businesses differently. Fix Your Funk grew out of that. I wanted a place where people could untangle their content, offers, marketing, and business without feeling like they had to trade pieces of themselves just to make it work. Because I don’t think most people need fixing. I think they need permission to stop apologizing for the parts that make them memorable. The weird laugh. The rabbit holes. The strong opinions. The “too much.” Funny how those are usually the exact things their people end up loving. The world doesn’t need another polished entrepreneur 🤮 It needs more people brave enough to stop sanding themselves down. Because the people you’re here to help don’t need another copy of somebody else. They’ve already got plenty of those. They need you. 👇🏻 What’s one piece of “normal” business advice you’ve never been able to make fit?
