Just been hetic right now for our family. You guy can talk to each other and maybe help one another as well, in her absence

The Pro plan has made my life so much easier. The consistency I receive from this tool, the adherence to my brand guides and voice, the ability to take the workflow we just completed and turn it into a skill so I can repeat that task later just by calling on it. My favorite tool: Cowork. This alone is worth the $20/mo fee in my opinion. I run the Claude desktop app, I go into my projects and I execute. Well, Claude executes, but I approve the workflows and help refine the visions. The files are dropped back into the designated folders on my computer once complete. Need to make a revision? No problem. The file is updated. ChatGPT has been used once in the last week. Gemini gets used daily for my W2, but for my business I'm finding myself going there natively less and less often. Perplexity still comes in clutch for research to feed in for projects, however that is what Perplexity is built to do. It's the Chrome killer. It truly is.

Quick observation from this week: I’ve talked with several entrepreneurs lately and noticed we tend to fall into three different struggles when running a business. 🔧 The Maker who struggles to talk about their work ⏱ The Operator who never has time to market 💡 The Builder with more ideas than hours I unpack these a bit in the video below. And yes… I fully admit I’m the Builder. My idea list has categories. 😂 Which one feels most like you right now? Vote with an emoji: 🔧 Maker ⏱ Operator 💡 Builder

This past week has been a whirlwind. I’ve been deep in the trenches building an AI troubleshooting training for the Product Support Engineers at my day job. Yesterday was the big moment: I presented the first full draft to senior management. I’ve been with this company for over 5 years, but this was my first time truly solo in the spotlight. I’ll be honest—my nerves were amped. I was sure I’d blow it. The Result? I nailed it. It wasn’t "perfect," but it was effective. Now, I’m spending the weekend refining the edits to present to our VP of AI next week for a global company-wide rollout. The Lesson: Don’t wait for "perfect" to hit "submit." The draft is where the magic starts. Use this weekend to level up whatever you’re working on—you never know who is watching!

Not a hypothetical. Not "someday I want to learn X." The actual thing that's slowing you down this week — the workflow that should be easier, the task you keep doing manually because you haven't figured out how to hand it off yet, the prompt you've tried three times and it still isn't giving you what you need. That's what I want to know. Drop it in the comments. Be as specific as you can — the more specific you are, the more useful this thread becomes for everyone. I'm coming back to this post regularly. The bottlenecks you share here are directly shaping what gets built next in the mini-course library. If I build something from your suggestion, you get first access — free, before it goes anywhere else. No bottleneck is too small. If it's slowing you down, it counts. 👇 What's yours? — Mel
