I’ll be honest. When I first opened the Classroom, I thought, “Okay… where do I start?” There were lessons. There were checkmarks. And my brain briefly tried to make this more complicated than it needed to be. The good news? Once it clicked, it made total sense. Here’s how it worked for me. Step 1: Find the Classroom I clicked Classroom in the left menu and everything was right there. It’s basically a playlist. Shouldn’t be too hard…Top to bottom. No guessing. No scavenger hunt. Lesson learned: start at the top. Step 2: Open a Lesson I clicked a lesson title. It opened. I read it, liked what I read. Thought about how handy that was…Then I thought, “Okay… I’ve done the thing. Now what?” Step 3: The Checkmark Moment This is where it all made sense. When I finished the lesson, I clicked the checkmark next to it. Just like that, the lesson was marked complete. Oh my goodness! It felt like crossing something off a to-do list. Very satisfying. Step 4: Move to the Next Lesson After that, it was simple. Go back to the Classroom list. Click the next lesson. Learn, checkmark, repeat. No overthinking required (even though I really tried that at first). 🤦🏻‍♀️🫣 Why the Checkmarks Matter The checkmarks show where you left off, keep everything organized, and make progress feel real. It’s basically the platform saying, “You’re doing great. Keep going.” And yes… for a brief moment, I truly felt like I was back in school — clicking my checkmark like, “Look at me, I finished my assignment.”🤭🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

Today gave me one of those moments where I had to laugh at myself. It started cool and cloudy here in the Pacific Northwest — exactly what you expect in mid-December. And then suddenly, the sun came out and the day felt more like late spring than winter. I looked outside and realized the grass was tall. In December. All day I kept thinking,“Seriously? Am I really going to cut grass right now?”Because normally by this time of year, the lawnmower is retired until March or April. Rarely, though it does happen, May. But if you live in the PNW, you know the rule: When the weather opens up, you take the window. Because it might close again in 20 minutes. So yes… I cut the grass in December. And somewhere between laughing at the absurdity and pushing the mower, it hit me: This is exactly what entrepreneurship feels like. So often things show up out of season — opportunities, challenges, unexpected asks, sudden momentum. You look at them and think, “Now? Really?”But timing isn’t always predictable, and prosperity rarely follows a neat schedule. Sometimes, business requires the same flexibility as a rare sunny, warm day in December: - noticing what needs attention - responding even when it feels out of rhythm - acting during the small windows that open - adapting when the season doesn’t match the script Entrepreneurs prosper not because conditions are perfect, but because they learn how to move with what is — even when it’s unexpected, inconvenient, or strangely timed. So I’m curious…What “out-of-season” moment has shown up in your business lately — and how did you respond to it?

Most people don’t need more content… They need better engineered content. Here are the 3 tweaks that changed everything for me: 1️⃣ Clarity over cleverness I stopped trying to sound smart. I started making my message stupid simple. Result: People finally understood (and shared) my posts. 2️⃣ One pain point per post I used to cram 5 ideas into 1 post. Big mistake. Now I hit ONE problem hard with ONE solution. Result: 2–3x more comments. 3️⃣ Turn every insight into a visual A simple screenshot, diagram, or framework makes your content pop. People don’t remember text, they remember shapes. Here’s the part most people miss 👇 You don’t need more followers. You need more clarity. Clarity creates conversion.
