Hey everyone 👋 I run my own website/store and am always learning. Excited to share experiences and learn from your wins and mistakes.

It is awesome to see you here in the Skool community! Really quickly, I want to just breakdown what all is here and available to you. We are currently building out lessons over in the CLASSROOM tab above. This is where most of the training will take place. We have built out the UPward Blueprint to get your business from not online at all, do a market leader in your area! These lessons can be applied to MOST local businesses. If your business operates entirely online, and your customers are from all over the country, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. This is designed specifically for home service businesses who serve customers near their business location. Many of these tactics can also work on other local businesses who deal with local customers. ✅Lesson 1: This lesson is designed to get the required minimum online presence so we can get our Google Business Profile listed and verified. Without performing this step first, the battle for verification can be much more difficult. ✅Lesson 2: This lesson is designed to get your GBP (Google Business Profile) verified and listed on Google so the real work can begin! ✅Lesson 3: The Mirror strategy: This is the primary workhorse of the UPward Blueprint. This is how we tell google and AI searches that we are the business that should be getting the love. This is as far as we have the lessons built up to this point but we will be adding on more in the near future. Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube Channel, we put out new videos every Saturday. https://www.youtube.com/@UpwardBoundMedia?sub_confirmation=1 We also offer all businesses a 1 time Free Strategy Session. This session is designed to go in and show you exactly what you should be focusing on in your area to keep the work coming in and the money flowing, don't miss your opportunity, schedule NOW! https://upwardbound.media/calendar
