Saying goodbye to this community
I want to be real with you, because you deserve that. Over the past couple of weeks I've had moments where I was really, really down emotionally, moments that even scared me a little. I've realised that working alone in my flat, building this online business for the past year and a half, has been slowly burning me out. I don't want to end up destroying myself, so I'm listening to what my body and mind are telling me: I need simplicity, stability, and something that genuinely feels aligned, without so much weight on my shoulders. There's also something I want to be honest about. The image I've been holding: in front of my partner, my parents, my friends, and even in front of you... of someone pushing hard to build something online, has become really difficult to carry. I think I just need to let that go and choose something more real for where I actually am right now. So I've made the decision to step away from Aligned Creators and from the online business world altogether. I know I promised a 30-day outreach challenge starting this week. I'm sorry, that won't be happening. I didn't want to just disappear without explanation, which is why I'm telling you directly. What I can leave you with: everything I know about getting your first paying clients is already in the classroom. The videos are gone, but the full written process is there: the exact method I used with my own clients, who paid me for it. The scripts, the steps, everything. If you do the outreach as it's laid out, it works. The community will stay open until June 3rd so you have time to go through anything you want to keep. Now, the part I really mean. Thank you. Genuinely. - To my activity allies: @Amanda Smith @Nicholas Lee @Suzzie Woods @Lidia Axe @Sabine Hope - To everyone who showed up, commented, contributed, and made this feel like a real place, you made this worth doing. - To the clients I had the privilege of working with: @Mat Edwards @Wendy Prager @Edith Calls @Logan Smith @Dovydas Zemeninkas @Branco De Souza

I appreciate your sincerity @Lara Bruyelles I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision to reach, but you have to listen to your body and heart. This likely happens to creators more often than it is openly discussed, so I applaud you for stopping before your mental health suffers. Interesting, the conversation that we had did motivate me to a personal 30 day challenge that is almost complete, so thank you for this. Our conversations were very insightful too, and if you wish to speak again in the near future do reach out to me. Wishing you wonderful things ahead!β€οΈπŸ™ŒπŸΎ

CHALLENGE UPDATE πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
I've been reading everything you shared and I want to try something together πŸ‘‡ I keep seeing two extremes in online business, and neither feels quite right. The scalable membership: fully aligned, but it can take forever to generate real income. The high-ticket hustle: fast results, but it slowly drains the life out of why you started. I've been on both paths. I made my first $3,000 on Skool in <2 hours a day, and I also burned out and walked away from the format. So I've been asking myself: what's the middle path? Fast enough to stay motivated. Aligned enough to keep going. I think I've found it, and I want to test it with you. 30 days. One goal: your first paying member. I'll be doing it alongside you, not above you. If I get 3 people saying yes by Sunday, we start next week. Drop a πŸ™‹ if you're in, or just tell me honestly what you think. ❀️❀️ thanks for being here xxxxx

🎯 I want to run a challenge with you!! But first, I need your input...
Here's what my daily routine looks like right now: β†’ Showing up in Skool every day (here + my accountability partners' community) β†’ Posting a TikTok video every single day β†’ Publishing a YouTube video every week It's simple, it's not perfect, but it's consistent!! and that consistency is what's slowly moving things forward for me. πŸ’Œ I'd love for us to do something together as a community. A challenge where we all commit to one daily action and hold each other accountable. But before I design anything, I want to ask you: πŸ‘‰ What's one action you're trying to take consistently right now, or wish you were? Drop it in the comments. I'll read every reply and build the challenge around what actually matters to you. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

@Lara Bruyelles I think I need to develop a form of focus that's not widely practiced. Because of my work situation I have noticed 5 - 10 minutes of quiet time through the day where I can do little things like writing, image creation, or just sketching preliminary illustrations. But focus is not typically done or taught this way. This is a situation specific to me, and perhaps to other people who work in service and want to create but find that 1 hour of deep, focused work is not feasible. So there's Resistance from the newness of the situation and my brain fixated on finding 1 hour of time, when I need to accept I have 5 or 10 minutes I can use that are more feasible than one continuous hour. You know, I just landed on this information as I wrote it. Thank you for listening, Lara. I know what I need to do now. To anyone reading this who's work situation is similar to mind, you need to condition your mind to use those short time intervals rather than keep finding a longer stretch of time that is not here yet. Those little pockets time, used consistently, will compound over the course of a week. In some ways this is outlined in The Science Of Getting Rich. I will explain it further if anyone is intersted. This is very long already. Have a great day!

@Lara Bruyelles You acted as a sounding board so thank you for that, Lara:) I will expand more on this as I feel it can be very useful to people in my situation.

We recently hit 100 members in the community, and I'd like to thank every single one of you, Aligned Creators, for trusting this space and honouring it with your presence. I would love to understand a little bit more about where you all are in your journey so that we can get the community to support you best. Where are you all at? How many of you already got their first paying client through coaching, and how many of you didn't? Feel free to write in the comments. What would be supporting you right now? Talking about - The emotional side of building a business? - What an aligned business truly feels like to you? - More concrete strategies to get clients? - Networking? Every single day we align with who we deeply are and the business we're building, we're changing the world. Let's support each other through this shift ❀️❀️

@Lara Bruyelles I would say community building, but it feels like I should do both.

@Lara Bruyelles community building feels more aligned as it also serves as idea generator and a way to test reactions of people on things I do.

@Kerry Souter that's unfortunate, but you built the skill, and that's yours forever. You may want to experiment a little, like creating an AI avatar of you with AI and doing your standup on a platform πŸ™‚

@Lucy Murphy Thank you:) I guess. Having a linear mind sounds like an asset. I've tried working linearly in the past, but my brain is not wired that way. A bit of scatterbrain seems to be my method:)
