“You should start with a cheap offer and work your way up.” Sounds safe. Sounds logical. Sounds responsible. It’s also backwards for most people. Here's something to think about: High-ticket offers are often the best place to start. Not because you’re trying to be fancy…But because they’re more sustainable, clearer, and smarter for long-term growth. Why high-ticket first actually works better: 1. It’s more sustainable as a business owner.Selling $27 offers means you need a lot of volume to survive.Selling one higher-ticket offer can give you breathing room, stability, and momentum. 2. You get deep, real feedback fast.When you work 1:1 or in small groups at higher levels, you: - See exactly where people get stuck - Hear their real objections - Learn what they actually need (not what they think they need) That becomes the foundation for everything you build later. 3. You build better low-ticket offers later.Most low-ticket offers fail because they’re built from guesses.High-ticket work removes the guesswork. So why does this myth stick around? Because many people haven’t yet built a high-ticket offer they truly believe is worth selling. So instead of solving that… They shrink the offer. Shrink the price. And try to make up for it with volume. That’s not scaling.That’s survival mode. The real order that works best: 1. ✅ Solve real problems at a high level 2. ✅ Work closely with real humans 3. ✅ Refine your process 4. ✅ THEN create low-ticket offers that are built on proof Low-ticket should be the by-product of experience…Not the starting point. 👉 Want to build your offers the smart way? That’s exactly what we do inside the Next Level Creator Hub — helping you clarify what you should sell, who it’s for, and how to build offers that actually support your life and your business.

This afternoon we had such an amazing time learning about the different community models on Skool and how to set up your classroom for each model so that you can have a strategic classroom that gets your members success while setting your business up for success as well. I'm so sorry for anyone who got stuck in the waiting room! I have no idea how that happened, but I've already turned it off for the Jan 6 masterclass. If you are a Premium member, doors will open for How to Teach a High-Value, High-Converting Masterclass on Jan 2, so mark your calendars! The replay has now been moved into the Your Best Course Build Lab. 😉 Also, please note that the special offer I mention in the recording is also only available until Friday at midnight, so don't miss out!

One of the biggest reasons I guide creators and business owners toward YouTube is simple: YouTube builds evergreen traffic — the kind that keeps sending people your way long after you hit publish. Most platforms give you moments of visibility. YouTube gives you months and years of discoverability. And I’ve lived this first-hand. 🌱 Real Example: My “Homesteading for Beginners” Podcast Funnel Still Runs on Autopilot I haven’t actively promoted my Homesteading for Beginners podcast in a long time… but new people still find me every single day. Why? Because years ago, I built a simple funnel: 1️⃣ A YouTube video or podcast episode brings someone into my world 2️⃣ They’re offered a free lead magnet (something genuinely helpful) 3️⃣ That lead magnet leads them to a paid offer 4️⃣ The system works without me having to hustle That podcast + YouTube combo still pulls traffic, still grows my list, and still sells offers — even though I’m no longer actively creating content for that niche. That is the power of evergreen traffic. Why YouTube Is the Core Traffic System for Our Community Inside the Next Level Creator Hub, we focus heavily on YouTube because: 🌿 It’s a searchable platform — your content works for you 24/7 🌿 It grows trust fast — people see you, hear you, and connect more deeply 🌿 It feeds your entire ecosystem — community → email list → offers 🌿 It reduces burnout — you don’t have to be “on” all the time; the platform does the heavy lifting And just like my homesteading funnel, your content can work long after you create it… if you build your systems right. The Big Idea Traffic is the front yard to your business. If no one walks by, no one comes inside your community… and no one buys. YouTube is the most reliable way to keep traffic flowing — steadily, consistently, even when you’re living life, taking breaks, or shifting focus. This month inside the Hub, we’re going all-in on building (or rebuilding) that YouTube Traffic System so you can create your own evergreen machine.

Is it a haphazard collection of live recordings, “start here info” and other random freebies, or is it a carefully curated and intentionally selected group of valuable trainings that lead your members from point A to point B? Don’t be fooled into thinking that the most important part of your Skool group is the community. The community supports that classroom, and the classroom supports the community. And if you don’t have a high-quality classroom, then your members are going to bounce to the next free group offered by your competitor. Learn the next steps to creating a high-quality classroom that delivers real results by attending my free masterclass inside the CLASSIFIEDS on Dec 3 (times on the calendar).

When I was growing up, I was the youngest in my family — which meant I lived in hand-me-downs. Shirts, jackets, jeans… even the trends I never actually liked. It wasn’t the worst thing in the world, but it definitely never felt like me. But I still remember the feeling the first time I finally had something that actually fit who I was — not what someone else had outgrown. I felt special, seen, and honestly… like I finally fit myself instead of trying to fit into someone else’s box. Lately I’ve been thinking about how many creators and business owners are still trying to grow with “hand-me-down strategies.” Random advice. Generic courses. One-size-fits-all programs that don’t consider your niche, your pace, your personality, or your goals. No wonder so many people feel stuck. They’re wearing someone else’s “outfit.” That’s why I built the Next Level Sprint. It’s not a template, a cookie-cutter framework, or a course you’re expected to squeeze yourself into. It’s a tailored-to-you 90-day mentorship where we build the right systems for your business, not the internet’s idea of what should work. If you’re tired of hand-me-down strategies, and you want something built for you, this is where we do that work. If you’re curious, check out this post to find my calendar link.
