Hi Everyone! I have attached the AI prompts that Amy Porterfield shared that help to gain clarity on your online course. Very helpful! I did it and have now repositioned how I sell my course and the messaging around it, but didn't need to change my course at all. AND...here is the prompt that she shared in her weekly newsletter that really helped me to get clear on HOW to present my message to my avatars regarding my course: "What assumptions am I making about what my audience wants, about how growth has to happen, or about what’s “possible” at my stage, that may not be true?" Hope they help!

Last week, I sent out a poll to better understand what you’d like to see in upcoming coaching calls. Some of you leaned into “Creative Brainstorming” with your vote. Let me expand a bit on what this type of call might look like. For starters, expect the unexpected. You might get a prompt like: "If my week were a sitcom episode, the title would be [blank], starring [blank]." You’ll have a few minutes to write or draw, then we share. I’ll set the stage, keep things moving, and make sure no one feels put on the spot - just lots of laughs, surprises, and fresh new perspectives. Are you game for this?

Much as I love to present and teach, I'm feeling that our monthly coaching calls are turning into more of a one-woman show than the collaborative exchange I originally envisioned. The current structure doesn’t lend itself to give each of you an active role in these calls. I don't mean "active" = more work for you. I'm talking about giving you the sourdough starter to bake your own gorgeous loaves we can all share in the course of that hour. Sooooo..... let's shake things up! In order to make these sessions more collaborative, inclusive, and FUN, let's feed that starter by exploring new topic formats where you get to bring your ideas, experiences, and your unique genius to the table. Think less "Carole Hour" and more "Power Hour" - an intentional (yet structured and facilitated) space to swap ideas and take our collective learning to a whole new level. I'll need your help to make that happen, so please weigh in by voting in the comments. Here are some thoughts for upcoming calls (Starting September 2025): 1. "Ask Me Anything" Mini Masterclass: One member volunteers to give a 15 minute “teach” on something in their zone of genius, then we ask them questions. Topics can range anywhere from tech questions to budget hacks to cooking tips, anything that's actionable. 2. Member Guest Speaker Highlight: I invite one member to share their journey as I interview them - what worked, what surprised them, and what they’re working on next. 3. Book Bites: Members send in a short excerpt from a go-to book that has impacted them before the call, then we unpack it together - journal, discuss, explore what action we can take. This is Study Group on steroids. 4. Themed Roundtables: Choose from themes before the call (via poll). The call itself will kick off with a theme-based thought provoking question(s) and the call members now become the panel, weighing in with their insights. 6. Creative Pop Sessions: Members get 3 or 4 "out-of-left-field" prompts (“If money were a person, what would it eat for breakfast and why?”), we take 3 minutes to either write or draw our responses, then reconvene and share. Expect fun, laughs, and a great way to sharpen our imagination.

Hi you beautiful badasses! I didn’t realize that our 333 Mastermind fell on Family Day. That said, and given Snowmageddon (just came in for a break and have to go back out shortly - whew!), I am proposing we cancel this week’s 333 mastermind and pick back up 2 weeks from now. Feel free to reach out, drop your questions and share your insights here in the comments. Happy Family Day!

Update: the polls will only accept one selection. If you have a 2nd choice, indicate it in the comments. I am noodling on some ideas for us to connect either online (initially) and/or in person (eventually) - get-togethers are not coaching calls but rather connection opportunities where we get to know each other a bit better through activities. Please weigh in on what would be the most fun for you. These are open to both the free and paid community. Here are the full descriptions. Select any and all that speak to you in the poll below. - Lunch & Laugh: noon time (EST) Zoom call where we hop on and chat about anything and everything - what’s up for the weekend, funniest thing that happened this week, whatever! 30 minute call, weekly - Walk & Talk: Hop on the treadmill, the trail and Zoom. We do a quick check of our steps at the opening of the call, then walk and chat about anything and everything. This is Lunch ‘n Laugh with trainers on. 30 minute call, weekly - Wine & Dine: This is for the foodies and wine lovers out there (as well as the sober-curious). We’ll talk about what we’ve whipped up, which wine (or beverage) we’ve paired it with and what makes it such a good match. The focus is all about the flavour, the food experience. 1 hour call, monthly, evening. Specify EST or PST if this is your choice. - Other: what else would you like to see? Are there activities you would love to join that could be done online or live? Let’s brainstorm!
