Over the past few weeks, I’ve faced an unexpected hurdle with Facebook. After giving it a lot of thought, I made the decision to create a brand-new business page and start again, this time following the Funnel Junkies 28-Day Roadmap from day one. One thing I’d also like to mention is how much Funnel Junkies has evolved. When I first joined last year, we didn’t have the structured 28-Day Roadmap, the incredible prompting techniques for ChatGPT, or the wealth of resources and step-by-step guidance that’s available today. Looking back, I realise just how valuable these new tools are. They make the learning process clearer, more focused, and much easier to implement. Surprisingly, I’m not discouraged at all. In fact, I’m more excited than ever because this journey has taught me lessons that I don’t think I would have learned any other way. Here are some of the biggest lessons I’ve taken away: ✅ Your brand matters. I finally took the time to define my niche, understand who I want to serve, and build a brand that truly reflects who I am. ✅ Create your own content. Instead of relying on generic content, I’m now creating my own content and reels from scratch. It’s more authentic, helps me build trust, and allows my personality to come through. ✅ Learn to use AI as a tool, not a shortcut. Understanding how to write better prompts and use AI strategically has completely changed the quality of my content while still keeping it authentic and in my own voice. ✅ Progress beats perfection. Starting over isn’t failure—it’s an opportunity to build a stronger foundation with everything I’ve learned. ✅ Consistency is more important than going viral. Following a proven roadmap gives me a clear direction and removes the guesswork. ✅ Every challenge teaches you something valuable. The Facebook setback forced me to slow down, learn the platforms properly, and focus on building a real business rather than chasing quick results. ✅ Diversify your platforms. Most importantly, I’ve rediscovered my excitement.

Keep going !

Thought I’d ask here encase anyone could help. I have a friend who is asking for help with the followng: Animation Help? I'm needing some guidance with animation production for a series of childrens books and songs. Something like Curious George (if you know) I really have no idea where to start with all this new tech and AI. Ive got the stories and songs sorted. Any help would be epic 🫶

This post, "BE CAREFUL OF THE STORY YOU TELL YOURSELF..." really hits home for me, and this is my story. Not long ago, I found myself living a story I never expected to be part of. Like many people, I followed the path that society tells us is the right one. Study hard. Earn qualifications. Work diligently. Build experience. Climb the ladder. Secure your future. For years, I invested my time, energy, and resources into building a career. I believed that the more qualifications I earned and the more experience I gained, the more secure my future would be. After dedicating many years to one company, I was retrenched due to operational changes and economic pressures. It came as a shock. I had always worked hard, been independent, and believed that experience, commitment, and qualifications would provide security. Suddenly, everything changed. What struck me most was how quickly circumstances can change, regardless of how qualified or experienced you are. In the corporate world, many of us become accustomed to being told where to be, what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. We work within structures and systems, often believing that if we do everything right, we can control the outcome. But sometimes the decision is made for you. In my case, I wasn't given a choice. The direction of my life changed overnight, and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. For a while, I felt as though all those years of study, sacrifice, qualifications, and effort had somehow been wasted. I questioned everything I thought I knew about success and security. Then began the search for another position. Hundreds of applications. Hope followed by disappointment. A handful of interviews. Then the responses started coming. "You're overqualified." "We're looking for someone younger." "We can't meet your salary expectations." And sometimes, no response at all. With every rejection, my confidence took another knock. For the first time in my life, I started questioning my value. I wondered if all the years of experience, qualifications, and hard work had somehow become irrelevant. I worried that I might become dependent on my children when I had always been fiercely independent.

As a High Performance Advisor, Marketing & Tech Coach, and Entrepreneur, one thing I’ve learned is this: You have to learn to pivot. Today, I’m celebrating another sign-up into the R9 community — and the best part? It was our first gentleman joining 🙌 I currently have an all-female Skool community, but this made me realise something… Maybe it’s time to pivot and redo my WhatsApp community to support both men and women. And here’s the biggest lesson: I wasn’t even trying to sell. We had a genuine conversation.I gave a few suggestions.I offered to help. Because truthfully? I want people to succeed. Instead of focusing on “making the sale,” I focused on serving first — sharing a few first steps, helping with marketing and tech, and telling him about tomorrow’s training. And today, I’m proud. Proud of myself for showing up differently.And proud of him for choosing himself. Sometimes growth looks like helping first. My question for you: Why do you think you need to change to succeed?
