missed it yesterday. but even more reasons to share this one today. cause we - me & my hubby - are celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary today & (the drum roll) the theme of the wedding was Oscar nominations. and our first dance was a tango from Scent of a Woman movie. we even took 3-4 dancing lessons to perform that, properly. now, the movie. i mean, yes, it is an old one. 1992. but, Al Pacino, getting Oscar, for his role - you can't argue that?! why i like it? apart from it was my wedding dance... - life brings us people, weird ppl - even if for a weekend - who we can learn from - life gives us cross-roads and it's up to us to make the decision, it might change the trajectory - so, don't dismiss those - be yourself, be passionate, love what you have and act on it if you decide to watch, ask yourself these questions to turn this into “therapy/coaching session”: - are you too focused on problems/disadvantages you have vs your strengths? - what opportunities are you dismissing right now? - are you making everything out of what you have? - is there a mentor you are dismissing? - anything else comes to your mind while you watch this movie? give us some love & tell me if you are going to watch this ⬇️

not after a pitch. not off a sales call. there wasn't one. one of them wasn't paying me anything at the time. she was in the free community, she'd been there a while, and at some point she went looking for the payment link herself. that's the part nobody teaches, because it doesn't work as a tactic. yesterday i said September's theme is nobody's buying. this is the other half of it. when what you give someone actually changes something for them, paying you stops feeling like a cost. it starts feeling like the obvious next move. WHY MOST OF YOU DON'T ASK - you've done the hard bit. you started the community, you post, people show up, some of them even reply. - then someone asks how you make money from this, and you change the subject. - i know why. the selling you've seen modelled is horrible. WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SHOWN - fake countdown timers. - "only 3 spots left" when there are clearly not 3 spots left. - DMs that open with a compliment and pivot to a pitch in the second message. you don't want to be that. so you've decided you'd rather not sell at all. that's not a confidence problem. it's a model problem. selling means being clear about what you do, who it's for, and what it costs. and saying it out loud more than once. the discomfort comes from thinking you have to perform, and you don't. so that's September in Community Income Mastermind. offers that sound like you, prices you can say without flinching, and building the kind of room where people ask how they can pay you. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind for $37/m until 1st Sep (going to be $97/m) with 7-day free trial. cancel anytime. p.s. this is post 5 in a series of 8. p.p.s. glad to have @Zena Ryder part of the CIM crew

i'd rather lose you today than take your money and have you quietly regret it in six weeks. i've been on the other side of that and it's a horrible feeling. 1. you don't want to be checked on. yesterday i said the thing that killed your last purchase was that nobody noticed when you stopped. i notice. i check on you every week: - post a plan and don't do it, i'll ask about it. - go quiet for three weeks, you'll hear from me. some people find that motivating. some want to lurk. you know which one you are. 2. you need this to work in 30 days. it might. but it's like promising you'll win in a lottery. i'd rather say that now than take a payment against a timeline i don't believe in. 3. you can't dedicate at least 2-3 hours a week. if you're in a season where those hours don't exist - new baby, big job, something hard - that's not a character flaw. it's the wrong month. again, nothing wrong with you if any of the above is true. if you want to lurk, don't really have time right now to build your business, don't know exactly what you want to build, stay here - Community Builders HQ is the right room. it's free and not going anywhere. if none of those landed, you're exactly who Community Mastermind Income is for. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind for $37/m until 1st Sep (going to be $97/m). p.s. this is post 2 in a series of 8. p.p.s. glad to have @Kathy Fluch part of the CIM crew

I only just realized that I lost my flame and it happened 10 days ago 😂 I didn't do enough Skool that day because I had an 8+ hour driving day. I thought I might feel bad about losing it, but I'm glad to say I don't and that makes me feel very grown up 😉 No biggie. I'll get it back.

this Friday, we have Launch vs Evergreen model debate. totally free, fun, and i think very much needed. honestly, i have not decided what side i will be on, cause i think both work, but it depends 🤦🏻‍♀️ yet, i need an opponent: - pick your side - send me DM if you want to defend it - or send me a suggested opponent it's should be either smth that worked for you or your clients. and will be willing to share details! not just words.
