Hi all, dropping in to celebrate 4 big wins this week. But before I shout I wanted to share some major love for @Steve Gast. I found him through a mini course he made for another community, and he just unblocked me and gave me permission to do it imperfect. 4 BIG WINS 1. Hit 100 Members in my community 2. Crossed into the 900s threshold in Discovery in the Money category 3. Published a new ad on Meta Ads 4. Published my first VSL on my about page (was blocked on this for WEEKS) LMK what you think, I'm pretty proud of it. Wanted to shout out @Goose Dunlavey and the whole Goosify community too for reminding me that I can be myself, and show people upfront who I am behind the curtain, and that I don't have to hide it and be all "professional" (LinkedIn had me go down a dark un-fun path) Thank you for bringing the joy and color back in my life! LMK what you think. Genuinely pretty nervous to share this (even though I feel proud of it)
