Wow, What a group of social butterflies we’ve got in here! 🦋 97% engagement is brilliant. Out of nearly 400 of us, only 12 people are keeping quiet. That is what community is all about. I’m absolutely buzzing! ☺️🌈🌞😁 Thank you all for being so active and bringing the energy in here. You are all amazing and I feel so grateful for the support you all show up and give each other. 🥰

Most of us didn’t sit down and decide to “adopt AI”. Many of us stumbled across ChatGPT a few years ago, found how useful it was, and then started making images, videos with it to save time, and before we knew it we're writing full apps with it, and connecting it with zapier or make to save time, handle workflows and connecting it to send emails, schedule meetings, post things, and have it do all the things a trusted human PA would have done 20 years ago. When I started writing my book, I've already gone from "you should look at using AI to save you time" to "You definitely need to use AI to stay ahead", and in my final edit "If you don't embrace AI tools now you wont have a business" And honestly, I love it. 😍 AI tools are probably the biggest advantage I’ve ever seen for small business owners. You can move faster, build quicker, and do things that used to take teams of people. Coding apps that would have taken 3 developers 3 months can now be turned out in a day or two. If you’re building something right now and you’re not using AI properly, you’re making life harder than it needs to be. 𝐁𝐮𝐭… What if you had hired a bad actor PA 20 years ago? Or one with no loyalty or morals that could very easily influenced one by a bad person, or group. What damaged could they cause to your business? 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲 We’re moving very quickly from using AI as a tool, and giving it a lot of access. Access to: - Your data - Your systems - Your workflows - Your customers - Your decisions - CRM Systems - Your Password Manager (via your browser control) - Your linked bank accounts And more importantly… the ability to 𝑎𝑐𝑡 on those things. Not just suggest. 𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑜. That’s a big shift, and I don’t think enough people are taking it seriously. Because once you start giving systems that level of access, you’re opening the door to problems that scale very, very fast. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐞 I worry about how easily this kind of setup can be exploited.

... And then post it here. (As long as it's not confidential or explicit! 😂) 𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂! No explanation, or context, but do tag two other people in here. I just want to see life through your world for a second.👀

Good morning! Personally, I love Mondays! Don't get me wrong, I love the weekends too, which are normally strictly reserved for my family and friends (When we don't have a community to launch), I just love having a full 5 days ahead where I can build stuff and make things happen. Don't feel bad if you're in the hate Mondays club. In fact, feel EXCITED because you've made the first step and you're in the perfect place to change that! Our mission is to help you discover that one thing that you literally can't wait to jump out of bed to get started on. (Even if that one thing is sitting around a pool sipping on a piña colada.) If that's what you want, we're here to help you get that. My Monday always starts with 90 minutes in the gym which is where I am right now writing this between sets. This little bit of 'me time' not only helps keep me fit and trim, But it also gives me some time to think and to figure out the priorities of the day. (The things that will really move my dreams forward) I'd love to know how you lot start your week.. Do you love Monday mornings yet?

We are so happy to see you, and look forward to getting to know you better, learn where you are and where you want to be with your business, and help you get there. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞!? Not everyone is lucky or privileged enough to have a rich Daddy with a small million dollar seed fund to help kickstart their ventures. I certainly didn't. we were dead poor growing up, and I was bankrupt at the age of 23. There was no such thing as crowd funding, or kickstarter funds in my day... Just a bank manager. And if they didn't like your idea then you had to build your thing without it! I've done OK, but I can't teach you everything you need to know on my own, so I've assembled a team of people who have all pledged to help you in their specific area of expertise. We have built this community for people who want to build a real business without a big budget, with support from Resident Experts who actually show up to help. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭? 1. Create a new post and tell us all about what you do and what you are hoping to learn from us in the Welcome Lounge. It's also a great place to hang out and meet other like minded people and make connections. 2.

Enjoy being part of the community! We're really glad you’re here. We look forward to getting to truly know you and helping you build your business however we can. If you haven't quite figured things out yet, that's fine too. Just hang around, ask questions and learn. If you are a seasoned expert yourself, then please feel free to join in, post value and help others here.
