one of the best business advice i've every heard. here are some points to pay attention to: - you have to commit for at least 3 months on your business and actually do it to see if it works - if you don't have an audience and/or an established brand, start with giving away massive value for free (smart way) and then conversion /sales become easy - business is way more simple than we think, but it's way harder than we think (see first point on commitment) - do what others won't do or do for free what others charge for here are things i am doing in my business: - i am adding two news steps in Hackathon: Commitment + Printable Hackathon tracker (need to make it fun though); i actually have a commitment, but i need to tighten it up - adding more live events for Premium and VIP members in Hackathon (keep an eye on today's Newsletter) - adding live events/accountability formats here in Community Income Mastermind there is probably more i could do. how bout u? anything stood out for you? how are you changing what you do because of this?

summer is here. and i already know what most of you are thinking. - i'll get to it after vacation - September feels like a better time to start - things slow down in the summer anyway, so i need to take a break i get it. i really do. but here's what i've learned over the years (a decade). *** when everyone zigs — you zag*** while most people go quiet in the summer, i've always done the opposite. i build. i prep. i test. so that when September hits and everyone else is scrambling to "get back on track" i'm already ahead (and i love that feeling). there's something about walking into September knowing your community is set up, your offer is tested, and your first members are already in. vs. showing up going "ok so... where do i even start." 🏕️ Skool Community Summer Camp a small group intensive where i personally help you get your community off the ground (or back on track) prepped for the big boom in September. here's what i'm promising you: - launch, relaunch, or level up your community offer (positioning, packaging, all of it) - attract your first or next 10+ members - turn them into raving fans - design and test your first paid offer this isn't a course you watch alone at 2am. this is me in your corner. and bunch of other community builders. doing it together. who this is for: - you've been overthinking your community for months. maybe you haven't started yet. - maybe you started but you're sitting at 10ish members and feeling stuck. - most importantly, you need growth. you want growth. you are COMMITTED to growth. you don't need another course. you don't need another community. you do not need another framework, funner, or anything else. you need a good kick in the butt, a supportive group, and a coach who won't let you disappear. what's included: - instant access to all 30-Day Hackathon lessons - 6 x 90-minute group calls (putting in the calendar right now) - emergency 1:1 call with me - dm accountability with me ($$$$$ value)

it was epic. huge thanks to @Eileen MacDonell for defending Hight ticket and @Des Dreckett for being the BEST moderator, ever now, it's time for you to choose. who was better ⬇️ ps i promise not to hold it against you 😈

Your weekly dose of what's coming, what you might have missed, and a very important question at the end. === 🤩 NEW & SHINY oops, I did it again. you probably didn't know this, but I'm a certified habit coach, a productivity coach, and Notion certified. the problem? when there's no external accountability, i don't do anything. so naturally... i created another community 🤦🏻‍♀️ Meet Notion × AI for Skool — for Notion nerds who want to build AI-powered systems for managing life and business. crazy? yes. doing it anyway? absolutely. === 📣 COMING UP THIS WEEK 📅 Making Accountability Work - Roundtable Discussion. I will be speaking at the event, organized by @Paul Sirvinskas , founder of Kommunity Kids accountability is one of the biggest boosters in any community. and yet — nobody has really cracked it. yet. that's exactly what this roundtable is for. bring your ideas, your failures, your half-baked theories. let's figure it out together. 📅 Low Ticket vs High Ticket — Live Debate. which monetization model actually wins? two community owners. one structured debate. no selling. just arguments, evidence, and YOU picking the winner. i'll be defending low ticket. high ticket people are too busy on their sales calls to show up anyway 😜 (i will find one, don't worry). bring your questions. cast your vote. === ⏪ WHAT YOU MISSED LAST WEEK 📅 Digital Declutter Co-Work with @Carin Chantel . we spent a few hours together decluttering our digital lives. i walked away with inbox zero in 3+ hours. and i've kept it at zero since. Carin made a great progress on her downloads/desktop folders. that feeling? unreasonable level of satisfaction.
