I am doing a full day seminar today so I look forward to coming home tonight to see your ideas. The question and context ... I am monetized on YouTube (i.e. I earn money when you watch one of my videos.). As a monetized creator, I also have the option to have "members", people who pay for extra perks on my channel and yes, I do have paying members. The problem - members used to get my weekly video early. The "perk" was they got to see it and comment before anyone else. But I recently changed when I release the weekly video so that really isn't much of a perk anymore. Bottom line - I need to do something special for my Members Only without it being a huge time commitment, one that I can't maintain over time. I was thinking ... - I could do short Member videos about different handouts or exercises I use in my seminars (info not available anywhere else, unless you attended a seminar or purchased the video course the handout was used in). - I could do a monthly mastermind just for members, but that would be pushing the time commitment (especially if you add in sending it off to be mastered, etc. Would prefer to keep the member content more intimate, like them and me sitting at my kitchen table). - I have audio recordings of each of the entries in my first book. Could release those daily and only Member's have access. Not huge time commitment, only scheduling, as they are already recorded. I really don't know what I can do and I wanna do something! lol ALL suggestions welcome. HELP! lol Love ya! Sandi

This morning, as I started my day, I took a moment to acknowledge just how wonderful life is for me right now. I giggled as I thought, "I am so content this should be illegal!" That thought took me back to other times and other people who had shared their good fortune and joy. In all honesty, at times I resented them. I envied them. I thought to myself, "Why them? Why not me?" I know the answer now. Work and time. Work and time. It wasn't that they deserved it more or were "luckier". Then had simply worked harder or longer or both than I had at that point in time. I was comparing my year 5 to their year 20 and it did not serve me. So to the successful I say, share your joy. Share your light. Share your contentment. Let them serve as a beacon for those still in the dark. And for those still in the dark, still struggling, still doubting, still scared - keep working. Work harder. Put in the hours and the time. Dreams are not achieved with ease (if they were, everyone would be living their dream). Work harder for YOU than you have for any other and then double that. Work and time. Eventually, your flower will bloom. Love ya Sandi

One advantage of putting in the years is knowing what times of year are your busiest and when you can do more planning and regrouping. For me, Jan 1 - Mar 31 has ALWAYS been my busy season. I can book/complete 1/4 to 1/3 of my annual income in these three months. As a result, I don't stress about not getting to other things. There are other quarters for that. February is proof of busy season. One keynote this week. 2-day seminar next week. Emceeing 2-event then a keynote in the final week. Complaining? No. Bragging? No Just highlighting what you future can be like. Do the stats, notice the numbers. What seasons are your busiest and when are the seasons of rest? Keep going. You will find out. Love ya! Sandi
