You check your email list. One person left. And suddenly the whole afternoon is gone. You're rereading your last email. Wondering what you said wrong. Thinking maybe you should post less. Sell less. Be less. Here's what else it can look like: 🎃 A client replies "ok." and you're sure they're unhappy 🎃 You hold back a post because "what will people think?" 🎃 You drop your price before anyone has even pushed back 🎃 Hours spent drafting a reply to one critical comment This is rejection sensitivity. And it's not you being dramatic or "too sensitive." Your nervous system reads disapproval as danger. Not emotional danger. 𝘋𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳. It reacts to a short email the way it would react to being pushed out of the group. At some point that protected you. But now it's making business decisions for you. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲. Try this before your next decision: "𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸?" Just asking the question creates a gap between the sting and the reaction. This is exactly what we explore in the free classroom "𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘰 𝘔𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬?" 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸?

I'm going to do something I've never done, and I'm going to bulk tag all the level one members on this post. Why have I never done it before? Because I find it amazingly annoying when it's done to me. Why am I doing it now? Because if you are at level one, I'm assuming you are brand new or you intended on being an active member of this community and then you didn't figure out how to make it work for you. On Thursday, I am hosting a new(ish) member orientation where you can find out more about this community and how to make the most of it. You'll learn what kind of posts work, what the "rules" are and what amazing opportunities are available to you. The most common comment at the end of these sessions? "Wow! I had no idea. I've really got to start making better use of this community!" So, if you see yourself below, carve out some time tomorrow to join us (find the exact time on the calendar). And if your name isn't below but you still want to learn more about the CLASSIFIEDS, you're welcome to join us as well!

I'm really excited to be participating in another one of the incredible @Brenda Rigney 's FREE summits! There are so many amazing speakers and topics! In fact, I’ve been looking through everything happening at the Human First. AI Driven. Summit, and I’ve realized something. Three days goes fast. Especially when you’re trying to run a business at the same time. You may fully intend to watch a session at 11:00 and then a client calls, a meeting runs long or somebody in your house suddenly needs something only you can apparently find. Life happens. So if you’ve already registered for the Summit and you’re looking at the speaker lineup thinking, “There’s no way I’m getting through everything I want to see,” there is another option. You can grab the All-Access Speaker Pass for $39 before the Summit begins. That gives you access to every pre-recorded speaker session starting October 5th, plus each live speaker session as soon as it’s uploaded following their talk — so you don’t have to squeeze everything into October 5–7. The price increases to $69 on October 5th, so if you already know you want the pass, grab it before the Summit starts. GET THE $39 ALL-ACCESS SPEAKER PASS One important distinction: the Summit Swag Bag is not included with the All-Access Speaker Pass. That is separate. And if the pass isn’t for you? No problem. You can still register for the Summit and join us free October 5–7. REGISTER FREE Whichever way you join us, get those dates onto your calendar. And make sure you find my session on Using AI to Build Your Online Course - Without Losing What Makes it YOURS. You might be surprised by what I have to say!
