Four weeks ago, I got laid off. Good thing is, I didn’t decide to start a business because I lost my job, I started building my biz a little over a year ago while working my 9-5. By the time I left corporate, I had already worked with 37 clients. So instead of thinking, “Oh crap, what am I going to do now?” I was excited that I could finally go all in one the biz. Biggest gain in the 4 weeks? Time! In the last four weeks I’ve been invited to become a marketing strategy advisor for The AI Collective. I’ve been asked to speak about LinkedIn Growth at CMX and The Workaround Collective. I’m getting ready to launch an exciting new program that I couldn’t launch while working. I’ve been able to give my clients twice as much time on our office hours calls. Not because I had to. Because I wanted to. I’ve also finished 3 paintings, 2 diamond art projects, and 3 beaded plants. (Where do I put all these things in my house though????) And I spent 10 days with an awful cold, which I have lovingly named “corporate shedding.” What I’ve loved the most is that I’m no longer trying to fit my life around my job. My work now fits around my life. 🥰 I decide when to work. 🥰 I decide what I build. 🥰 I decide which opportunities I say yes or no to. 🥰 I decide when I need an afternoon to do crafts or go mountain biking. I spent a lot of years thinking freedom meant having enough money to leave corporate. I’m starting to think freedom is much simpler than that. It’s waking up in the morning and knowing your time belongs to you. Four weeks in, that might be the thing I value most. For those of you who have your business full-time, what do you value the most?

Hey everyone! I am trying to make a decision, but I don't feel like I have definitive data in order to make a best decision. I know the value of having a community and hosting my freebie in a skool group would definitely help with building an email list and a community at the same time. And I like the idea of having a ready source of comments to be able to reply to and even use it to build out content as I do best in response. However, I have a few concerns: 1. In my previous business, I had a Facebook group, and it took until you got to like 400+ people for anybody to really say anything. The constant posting and lives to crickets, even though I knew it was part of the process (and I have had several people say how helpful it was and they watched them all even when I didn't know), was such a struggle mentally and emotionally. I'm not really keen on the idea of doing that again. 2. I know that one to one and small groups are what I've always been good with, so worry about keeping up the energy in perpetuity with a membership/ free group. 3. I'm a high ticket coach and strategist, I do plan on having a low ticket offer, but it was more one offs in my head, so not sure about what I would even do for a premium that would still guide people to my high ticket services or if my ideal client even does these groups or not... I also love groups. I love being in groups and communities, and I'm just trying to work out in my brain if this is a direction I should go. I'm just looking for more input and data, really, and if we could help, that would be great.

When you read this, what comes to mind? I'm a business coach and strategist known for helping mompreneurs turn businesses that run on them into businesses that run for them, so they have the freedom to decide what comes next.

Just did 1 hour of “recording” for my YouTube, only to realize I forgot to hit record. 😳 Hope your day is going better than mine. lol! But when I did the second take it came out so much better. So that’s good. Are you relaxing or working this weekend?
