It's called BLUF. Stands for Bottom Line Up Front. Apparently it's a military thing... you lead with the answer, then explain underneath. No long wind-up. I tried it on Claude yesterday and honestly... why have I not been doing this the whole time? You know how you ask AI a question and it gives you three paragraphs before it actually answers you? And you're sitting there scrolling like "ok but what do I DO." 🙃 BLUF kills that. You just add one line to your prompt and it gives you the call first, the reasoning after. Here's the exact line I've been using: "Answer BLUF. Give me the recommendation in the first line, then the reasoning underneath." That's it. Paste it onto the end of any prompt where you want a decision, not an essay. Pricing questions, "should I do X or Y," picking a subject line... it's so good for anything where you just want the answer. Try it today and let me know if you felt the same way I did (why the hell haven't I been doing this all along!?). 👇

How many times have you unsubscribed from an email just because you had no idea who it was from or why you signed up? Be honest 😅 I do it all the time... If the email is good I'm annoyed that I don't know who wrote it and if the email is selling something I have no face to associate with it and if I should trust them. It's a huge missed opportunity. Of course my emails that get sent from my email platform Flodesk have a full signature and image but I realized emails that get sent in response to a customer, a client or a potential connection had nothing but my name... so I (of course) asked Claude to help me create one and it was so good and so easy that I wanted to share it with you. It's a free skill that creates a clean email signature with your headshot and clickable links. Your link-in-bio, your freebie or offer, your booking page, your Instagram... sitting right there in every email you send. Picture it: someone gets your email, sees your face, clicks, lands on your Instagram, then books a call with you. That's your signature doing the selling while you're off doing literally anything else. This is the kind of thing people pay a designer or a VA to set up. You're getting it free because you're in here. About 5 minutes start to finish. How to install a skill (you only do this once): 1. Download the EMAIL SIGNATURE BUILDER SKILL. 2. In Claude, go to Settings → Capabilities and turn ON Code Execution. Skills need it to run. 3. Still in Capabilities, scroll all the way down to find Skills, click Customize 4. Click the +, create skill, upload a skill, upload the email-signature-builder.skill file. 5. Open a new chat and say "build my email signature." It takes it from there. How to get the best result: Have these ready before you start: - A square headshot. Head and shoulders, looking at the camera. If it's not square, the skill crops it for you, so don't overthink it. - Your links. Pick 2 or 3 that actually matter. More than that and it looks cluttered in an inbox. - Your brand color if you've got the hex code. No code? It'll pick a clean one for you.

Hey everyone 🩷 I know I’ve been quiet in here for a little while. Life has definitely been life-ing, and I’ve been on a roller coaster. Sometimes you have to step back, breathe, regroup, and get yourself together before you can move forward with focus. But I’m back. I’m still learning. I’m still building. I’m still becoming. And I’m ready to get focused again. This season reminded me that stepping away doesn’t mean you quit. Sometimes it means you’re gathering yourself so you can come back stronger, clearer, and more intentional. I’m excited to reconnect, catch up, and get back into the work. 🩷

Friends! Earlier today I wrapped our first live Living Business Brain Workshop (the Relaxshop) and I'm still buzzing. ✨ (Yes, Relaxshop. The whole point is relief. Not another shiny thing to set up and forget about by Sunday.) Here's what we built together in 3hrs: → A full Living Business Brain inside Claude Cowork = your business, in one living file system → A visual dashboard with click-to-copy and download buttons → Auto-updating context that captures every decision you make (new price, new offer, new lead magnet... logged automatically) → Portable context you can drop into Claude chat, ChatGPT, Gemini, anywhere you work The real win? No more re-explaining your business to AI every time you open a new chat. A few of you couldn't make it live, and I want you to know that you didn't miss out. The replay is up and you can walk through the entire thing at your own pace or even better catch the next live! Two things you need to know as an AI Skool of Business member: 🤍 $100 off (SKOOL100) ⇢ community-only pricing. Not the public discount. This is just for you. 🤍 50% commission if you share it with someone in your world who would love this. Half. Of every single sale you send. For real. If you've been waiting for the spacious version of using AI in your business... this is it.

Happy Monday beautiful people! 😊 I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I know we talk a lot about AI in this community and I think it's important to always ground ourselves in our humanness first. I want to share my short morning ritual with y'all that starts my day off right every time. Enjoy! And let me know if you add it to your morning routine.
