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.

Hey all! I’m Luis Brito originally from the Dominican Republic and NYC, now based in Dallas for the past 3 years. My current focus is on credit strategy (both personal and business) and private lending. My background is a mix of tech, sales, and finance. I’ve gone from software development to roofing sales to credit consulting and I’m still refining my path as I go.. 😅 I wanted to share that I just finished my first draft of my Business Brain, shoutout to @Monika H for sharing that nice tool to help getting started with the Business Brain. My goal for joining the community was to learn to use AI more efficiently so I can better organize my business and each part of it both the front and back end. I love learning from others and always open to conversation so if want to have a conversation don't hesite to reach out! :)

Hey y'all! It's been real quiet in here and I wanted to tap in with you to see where y'all at? Where are you stuck? What can I help with? Are you crushing it and want to share? Tell me! I'm here for YOU!

I know you're overwhelmed right now. There are a million things on your to-do list, a million things you feel like you should be doing, could be doing, would be doing if you just had more time or more clarity or more... something. And you don't even know what's most important anymore. So you just try your best every day and hope something sticks. I want you to know... that's completely normal. Staying focused when there's this much noise is one of the hardest things about running a business right now. But I also want to be honest with you. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆. Every new update, every "you should be learning this," every free tool someone is dangling in front of you... it's pulling your attention away from the thing that actually moves your business forward. And I need you to see it for what it is. They're dangling that shiny thing in front of you to get you to buy their thing. And you know what? They're doing a really good job at the thing you're not doing consistently yet: 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. Here's what I want you to sit with for a second 👇 When you make money-making activities your actual priority, you start making money. When you're making money, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 you can set aside time to learn. Not the other way around. I'm not saying staying on top of your field doesn't matter. It does. But what matters more is having the money to invest in the things worth learning. Instead of being the person who spends all their time gathering free sh*t that costs them the one thing they can't get back: time. Time you could be spending building something someone is happy to pay for. When they pay you, now you have the money to invest in someone who can actually help you move forward with grounded momentum. Not "this is the hot new thing" urgency. Real, boring, get-things-done-and-cross-them-off-the-list momentum. That's when the magic happens. Not when you learn more. When you finish more. Things come off your to-do list. You stop feeling scattered. You actually move your business in the direction you've been wanting to go this entire frickin time.

Good morning! I got an email from "noreply@SKOOL .com" this morning, and it looks totally scammy. I am pretty sure if it were a renewal for this group, it would mention it somewhere in the email (and not have someone else's email address 🙄). I wanted to give everyone a heads up in case they get it too, so they don't get scammed. I've been absent from classes and meetings for a while after some (more) family tragedies in October, but I'm still here and still using your amazing Chats almost daily to get my business more organized and updated. I've thought about jumping in lately, but don't want to get even more overwhelmed and not finish what I've already got going, or join in the middle of something else. 🥰
