The response to the win/moonshot thread was insane — thanks to everyone who jumped in. Time for part two. Complete this in one sentence: 2025 taught me ____. In 2026, I’m ready to _____. Example: 2025 taught me consistency beats intensity. In 2026, I’m ready to scale without burning out. Your turn — what's your?

Hello Everyone, I'm in the final stages of my book design, and I would be grateful to anyone who has 2 minutes or less, to take my book cover survey to let me know which one resonates with you an why. https://forms.gle/TMkZYZh6LzGDv1ie9

So over the past few years I tried getting speaker spots. Mostly, I get ignored, but otherwise I get footed a check. Please pay 1-5k for a speakerslot since you are a consultant. The reason I got some speaker slots under the belt was because I organized two events, or that I did a stint full time at an organization. Podcasting has been a bit more successful. 3 in my belt in the last year and one more scheduled. But also there they prefer operators over independents/consultants. I do see some people bridge this gap by publishing a book/research having achieved something amazing. What else can I do?
