Hey Visionaries - I just added eight YouTube talks that I recommend in the Check This Out! Julie's Pick menu in the classroom. Where you start is up to you. Watch or listen to one per day. You'll probable absorb more that way than binging.

Our December Spotlight call is just in time to take us into the next year with confidence! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 30th @ 11 CT/12 noon EST. CEO of Bravo Maritime Group (BMG), @Valerie Horner, presents a talk entitled 3 Keys to Confidence. 3 Keys to Confidence In this call, you'll learn about: Developing the PROPER MINDSET for staying safe. Expanding SITUATIONAL AWARENESS of our surroundings. Identifying TOOLS/LIFE SKILLS we already possess, practicing skills we’ve learned, and prioritizing our options. Making and using a PLAN (both before and on the spot) for assessing threats, and avoiding or evading unsafe situations. Safety is our most basic need and once you feel safe, you will start showing up authentically like you belong--because you do. Add this to your calendar now so on December 30th, you can join the call and discover the 3 Keys to Confidence.

Great conversation with @Jessica Clark today. We talked about organization, trying not to add too many things on our plates at one time, Skoot CRM, a few geeky things about Go High Level and one of my favorite topics, mindset. Oh, and somehow we talked about geography from Bermuda up into Canada, down through Montana and into Arizona. That's a lot of ground covered (no pun intended lol)! The Coffee Chats in December are a bit casual. We talk about what's on our mind with regards to business, but the format for 2026 is in the works. Starting on the first Wednesday in January, we will take about ten minutes at the beginning of the call to talk about a business topic. Then, we will open the room for Q&A and also for hot seats where you can raise your hand and get help on something you're working on in your business. This is a free. application call where you get to lean into leaders who can help you step over hurdles and run the last mile. We will also introduce a Premium tier membership sometime in the 1st Qtr 2026. Premium members will have access to replays of the Coffee Chat calls in case you cannot make it or want to watch it again AND a pdf of the talking points for the topic will also be uploaded and available for Premium members. Over the course of the year, we'll add 50 replays and 50 topic talking point papers. You may download the talking points for your own library reference and/or use them in your own community or as a starting point for talk or webinar if the topics are relevant to your audience.
