It's been quiet 👀 here's what's going on
Hey founders, real talk; Running a business with ADHD has it's challenges. Who knew?! But my ADHD isn't the reason I've gone quiet in here. It's actually because, since Rex and I split, I've needed to refocus my efforts on my main business: SEO for B2B SaaS. I've been doing SEO for nearly 14 years now. I've worked with companies like Monday, Oberlo, AppSumo, Ahrefs and, currently, Semrush. SEO was my second love (writing was my first). My runway for running the experiment of making this Skool community my full-time focus dried up a few months ago, and I've had to refocus on my main income earner. I've absolutely loved building this community - especially the defining moments, like celebrating getting the star and becoming a top 1% community with @Tommy Gan and @Izzy Piyale-Sheard. The past year has given me many moments to be really proud of. And many moments that made me want to rip my hair out. (Typical entrepreneurship!) Anyway, here's what that means for this community going forward: I'll commit to writing one post per week. No more, no less. I'd rather show up consistently with something real than try to run a full curriculum I can't sustain. You'll get my honest observations from the trenches of building a freelance SEO business with ADHD, including what's working, what's blowing up in my face, and what I'm learning about SEO in the age of AI. I'm also committed to being there for the Momentum Lab members. @Jen Ritchie @Alena Sladkovská @Emily Satel @Rachel Hasson @Stijn Van Den Bossche @Amber Kay. We've been meeting twice a week every week since this thing started, and they've done some cool shit. (Shout out to Jen for doing her 5-day challenge launch and hitting her MRR target! And to Emily for starting her private practice, to Rachel for launching her new offer and bringing in some new clients, to Amber for massively increasing her prices and finally bringing in a livable wage from her business.)

Life has been WILD on my end. Kids and sports, consulting for gyms in person and helping them grow plus trying to grow my Skool has been tough. Big balancing act. But we have some cool music themed plans for the community that are going to be sick. Just trying to put intention first and let the universe give me what it chooses to in return. It will compound with enough patience. Good to see you’re well brother ❤️

@Bill Widmer It’s interesting how much the landscape has grown and evolved since first joining it. More opportunities, more distractions too lmao. I look forward to seeing what you bring with this new approach!
Tuesday Check-In ✅
Happy Tuesday, Founders! Yesterday you set your one thing for the week. How's it going so far? 👇 I'll go first

1 day at a time, 1 task at a time. Yesterday was a success based on the goal alone. Trying to shift my thinking to inputs instead of outcomes. Brings me a lot more patience that way
Momentum Mondays: What's your ONE thing this week?
Happy Monday, founders. New week, blank slate, and one question that matters more than anything else on your calendar: What is the ONE thing you're going to do this week that actually moves your business forward? Not your task list. Not the 14 things you could do. The ONE thing that if you did it, this week would count. Here's the rule I give my coaching clients: It has to be ONE thing. If you put three, you picked zero. It has to be specific enough that on Friday you can say "yes, I did that" or "no, I didn't." It should move your business toward revenue, not away from it. Drop yours in the comments. I'll read every one and reply. And if you're stuck picking, comment anyway and tell me what you're stuck on. That's where the real work starts. Let's go. 🔥

My one thing for the week is to do a minimum of 25 reach outs per day on social media to bring people to my community. Off to a good start
Tuesday Check-In: How's it going?
Yesterday you set your one thing for the week. Today's question is simple: Did you take a step toward it yet? Even a tiny one counts. Sent a DM. Opened the doc. Made the call. If yes — drop what you did below. If not — what's in the way? Sometimes just naming the block is enough to break it. No judgement here! Just momentum. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

I honestly found myself debating on if I wanted to learn something new that I could implement into my business. BUT it would be something that I wouldn't immediately use. More of a time saver down the road. Had to reel in the desire to jump into something that is wildly unknown to me and re-focus on my current tasks like outreach. "Simple scales. fancy fails." Needed that reminder today lol.
Michael won the Skool Games! 🥳
Wanted to give a MASSIVE congratulations to @Michael Rizk, who crushed the Skool Games in Q1! His community, Expanding Capacity, came in third place in the Health category, reaching a staggering $14,495 MRR! He now gets to fly out to Skool HQ in LA and get direct access to Alex Hormosi. Let's all show Michael some love in the comments! Spam him with your favorite GIFs 😉

@Michael Rizk @Bill Widmer I'm kind of experimenting with this a little actually. I've been solely invested in my community for a bit and now I'm latching onto a few and just really networking to provide value outside of my bubble in hopes the universe will in turn send it back to me eventually. If that makes sense
