Hope everyone had a wonderful week. Please share your wins from the week, your revelations, progress, challenges. 📣Big news: This community will be moving from free to paid in the next few days. I want to have a more focused and intentional space. I'm not kicking you out as long as you are active in the community. I will have to filter out people who are not active more than 6 months. Lots of new resources and trainings coming. I will put all this in a separate post with more details. Thank you for being an active member and for making this community a warm and safe place.❤️

I know several people in this community have published books, and I would love to learn from your experience. I’m at the finish line with my book, 13 Truths Before You Walk Into a Room, and I’m now working through the final publishing and release decisions. If you’ve published a book, would you share a little about your process? - Did you self-publish, use a publishing company, or take another route? - Which platforms or companies did you use? - Did you release the digital edition, paperback, or both? - Did you purchase your own ISBN or use one supplied by the platform? - Where did you sell your book—Amazon, your website, a direct-sales platform, bookstores, or somewhere else? - Looking back, what would you do differently? I’m especially interested in the actual steps you followed and which services you would—or would not—recommend. Thank you. I know there is a great deal of publishing experience in this community, and I would genuinely appreciate hearing how you approached it.

I recently received some valuable feedback and made a number of changes to my homepage. ChatGPT, Claude, and I have been working overtime. 😊 If you have a few minutes, I'd appreciate your perspective. Thank you all. Have a blessed day. michelemccain.lovable.app

Happy Saturday from sunny Los Angeles! Hope you had a wonderful productive week. Please share your wins from the week, your revelations, progress, challenges. I had a wonderful time at the leadership in heels conference connected with business partners friends. I also had a podcast interview so lots of traveling back and forth in LA. Two things I took away from the conference: Operate in alignment and step out of fear and into purpose!🔥 What are you executing this weekend?

You can't just give your AI instructions without proving the right layers of context. Don't act surprised when your output doesn't sound like you or it's not the quality you expected. Most business owners think "context" means writing a longer prompt or uploading one big document once. That's not a context layer, that's a one-time info dump that goes stale in a week. Real context is layered and it accumulates. Here are a few things to consider when preparing context for your AI: ✅ Identity/standing context — your business, principles, who you are, your brand voice, your goals and misson, frameworks, your non-negotiables. This rarely changes. It's the foundation layer. ✅Operational context — what's happening right now. Active projects, current clients, this week's priorities. This decays fast and needs refreshing constantly, which is exactly the "conversational history" problem the report is describing. ✅ Decision history — the "why" behind past calls. Why you priced something a certain way, why you said no to a client type, what you tried before that didn't work. This is the layer almost nobody builds, and it's the one that stops an agent from re-suggesting something you already killed six months ago. ✅ Relationship/permission context — who's allowed to see what, who this agent is acting on behalf of. This week, pick one AI tool you're relying on. Ask yourself what it actually knows about your business versus what it's guessing. Are you giving your AI enough context and examples we're talking to it?👇🏿
