This morning I was making breakfast and had a stupidly obvious thought that felt… weirdly business-y. Scrambled eggs and an omelet are basically the same ingredients, right? Eggs. Butter. Salt. Maybe cheese. Maybe a handful of whatever’s in the fridge. Same base. Totally different outcome. Scrambled eggs are chaos you gently manage. You keep things moving, you don’t overthink it, you let it be a little imperfect. It’s forgiving. Even if you mess up, it’s still edible. Still breakfast. An omelet is… intentional. It needs timing. Heat control. Structure. You commit. You fold. You don’t poke it too much or it falls apart. And if you try to treat it like scrambled eggs, you end up with a broken, sad egg pile and a tiny identity crisis. And I just sat there like: huh. Business does that too. Same “ingredients” on paper - offer, content, pricing, audience, systems - but the way you put them together changes everything. The order matters. The heat matters. The amount of stirring matters. Sometimes the difference between “this works” and “why is this a mess” isn’t more effort… it’s a small shift in method. Anyway. No big lesson. Just an observation brought to you by breakfast and the fact that eggs are humble little teachers.

Learning how to use AI for business can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be, one of the best ways to learn anything is to have some fun playing around with it first, it’s how I teach Canva, Branding and pretty much every aspect of business development in my 1:1 work (not currently available because capacity first is important and 1:1 is expensive because my time is valuable to me) Anyway, I learned a prompt to create these adorable marketing assets yesterday in @Raven Steele’s community. If you want to join and learn AI skills while having fun here’s the link. It’s an affiliate link because Raven has that option switched on but this is not about getting paid, I don’t recommend anything unless I feel it’s of genuine interest and value to you guys and you know that 💋 https://www.skool.com/revenuerevolution/about?ref=f817d416cef34dc2a8dfded7ad571231

Spending 3 hours on a video call with a woman I’d never met from the other side of the world, while sitting in a bar drinking. We solved some business problems. We raised questions to tackle later. But mostly? We just talked. About life experiences and how they impact business. About the messy reality behind the highlight reels. About the stuff that actually matters when you’re building something that fits your real life. It was one of the most genuine conversations I’d had in the business space. No performative “let me give you my 5-step framework” energy. No pitch at the end. No curated professional backdrop or perfectly planned talking points. Just two humans, a drink, and an actual conversation about the intersection of life and business. That’s what actual authenticity looks like. Not the Instagram version where everyone claims to be “authentic” while carefully crafting every word to sound relatable. Not the “let me vulnerably share this thing I’ve already processed and packaged for consumption” posts. Real authenticity is messy. It’s unplanned. It’s a 3-hour conversation that meanders between strategy and life stories because you can’t separate the two. Your life experiences shape how you build your business. Your limitations, your values, your circumstances—they’re not separate from your strategy. They ARE your strategy. The businesses that actually work long-term? They’re built by people who stop pretending life and business exist in separate boxes. So yeah. Some of my best business moments have happened in bars, on rambling calls, in conversations that had no agenda except to actually connect. That’s the energy I’m bringing to everything I do now. Less polish. More real. Always human💋
