MOST BUSINESSES DON’T FAIL BECAUSE THEY STARTED WITH NO MONEY. THEY FAIL BECAUSE THEY HAD NO MONEY PLAN. 💸
Hey everyone 💖 So honored to be here. I’m Lisa Drennon, founder of iDateMoney® and creator of the Money Multiplier System. At 22, I filed bankruptcy. Years later, I was making six figures and still found myself staring at $100K of debt. So if you think making more money will magically fix your finances… Been there. It didn’t. Because starting a business with no money is not the problem. Starting a business with no clue where the money goes once it shows up? THAT’S the trap. 😅 You can absolutely start a business with $0 using skills you already have, free tools, referrals, social media, and good old-fashioned consistency. But if you don’t know how to manage cash flow?You’ll build yourself a very expensive hobby instead of a profitable business. That’s why I’m here. I help entrepreneurs create simple money systems so the money they make actually stays, grows, and supports the life they’re building—without restrictive budgets or spreadsheet overwhelm. So let’s play, 💖Be honest: What’s your biggest money challenge right now? A) I don’t know how to make money yet B) I make money but it disappears C) I avoid looking at my numbers D) I mix business + personal money and hope for the best 😂 Drop your letter below and tell us what you do.💸🗝️🌬️💖💸

Figured I'd skip the polished intro, and just show up as me for a minute. This is a little about who I am and why I care so much about helping you be seen.

🚨 New Resident Expert Alert ... and this one is a bit special…
Can we give a massive warm welcome to @Marco Berlin the creator of Skool Extensions who has just joined us as our newest Resident Expert! 🎉 Now let me tell you why I'm genuinely excited about this one. Marco didn't set out to build a Skool extension business. He just looked at Skool after using it for 18 months, noticed a bunch of things that were missing, and thought "I'll just build them." What started as a hobby project has, in the space of a few weeks, turned into what I genuinely believe is going to be 𝘁𝗵𝗲 #𝟭 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 on the planet. This is a prime example of one of my core beliefs - following your passion, solving a problem, and making a business from something because you believe in it. It's just what happens when someone with real skills solves a real problem because they actually care about fixing it. And THAT, my friends, is how it's done! 🙌 No MBA. No big launch strategy. No guru BS. Just a guy who spotted a gap, and built something awesome. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼? Skool Extensions adds all the things Skool doesn't have yet. Things like: - 📅 Community calendar - 💬 Group chat - 🎙️ Voice and video messages - 📌 Bookmarks - Bold text (finally 😅) - Member lists, tagging systems, sales pipelines and CRM profiles for admins - And coming very soon — a full Workflow Builder with Skool Automations that Marco says will be so powerful you won't need any other Chrome extension ever again. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝘁? The member features are 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. (Our favourite price) Not a 14-day trial. Not a "freemium bait and switch." Genuinely powerful features that stay free for you and your members, always. If you want the admin superpowers, there's a premium version at $47/month, and here's the bit I love most: if you recommend it to enough people who go premium, 𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. Marco has set affiliate commissions at 20%, which means this is another tool in your earn-while-you-help toolkit. Very on brand for this community. 😏

You do not need to post every single day to become recognizable online? You need recognizable assets: - A clear visual identity - Consistent messaging - Strong visuals - A recognizable tone - Content that actually looks and feels like you. A lot of business owners are stuck in an endless cycle of: “Post more.” “Be everywhere.” “Feed the algorithm.” Meanwhile, the brands people actually remember usually feel cohesive before they feel loud. Think about the businesses you instantly recognize online... It’s rarely because they post 5x a day, right? It’s because: - their visuals are consistent - their messaging is clear - their content feels intentional - everything connects together That’s branding, and AI is making this easier than ever for small businesses. You can now create: - branded visuals - cinematic videos - custom graphics - polished ads - reusable marketing assets without a massive team or agency budget. The goal shouldn’t be to constantly scream for attention, it should be to build a brand people remember when they see you.

How to Start a Business With No Money AND Not Stay Broke When You Make It
Money comes in, bills get paid. Swipes happen, and whatever’s left, well, it disappears. No system. No structure. Just reacting. When @Adam McCollough asked me to join this community as a Resident Expert, I was honored to share my 40 years of financial expertise. Money is my favorite topic, and I want to see every entrepreneur succeed in their business because money flows in all ways always, and we all deserve to be financially free. I’m going to say something most people won’t-you don’t have a money problem, you have a no-plan problem. I’ve sat across from women making great money, and still afraid to open their bank account. Not because they’re bad with money. Because no one ever showed them what to actually do with it. In 2026, starting a business with no money is easy. Making money is easy. Keeping it. Growing it. Feeling calm with it. That’s where everything falls apart. Most business owners are doing this: Money comes in, bills get paid. Swipes happen and then, whatever is left, disappears. No spending plan. No structure. Just paying the bills. Here’s one thing you can do TODAY (even if you have $0): 🗝️Decide your percentages before the money comes in. When your first $100 hits, you already know: 💰what % is yours to spend 💰what % goes to savings 💰what % goes to future goals or debt Because if you wait until the money is sitting there, you’ll spend it emotionally, not strategically. That’s the foundation of my Money Multiplier System. It’s not about how much you make-it's about what you do with it. So I'm curious. Where are you at right now? Drop A, B, C, or D below—I’ll respond and give you your next step 💖 You don’t need more money, you need a plan for the money you already have (and the money that’s coming).🗝️🌬️💖💸
