You joined because you’re an overworked service business owner who’s tired of running everything from memory. That changes here. The Institute Social is a 30‑day operating system sprint to help you organize your business, fix bottlenecks, and stop your day from constantly falling apart. Your first mission is simple: get Activated in the next 72 hours so you can start the sprint the right way. 📱 Step 1 — Install The Skool App (Do This Now) Iphone users HERE Android users HERE 👉 Download the Skool app on your phone and log in. Why this matters: - People who win here post from their phone - Participation is 10x easier - If you skip the app, you will participate less Installing the app = opting in to being a serious member. 🩺 Step 2 – Take the 5‑Minute Business Checkup This gives you: • Your operator identity • Your #1 constraint • A custom 30‑day plan and the right sprint path to start If you already took the 5‑Minute Business Checkup before joining, you can skip to Step 3 below. When you’re done, come back here and finish your 72‑hour activation: You are officially Activated when you’ve done all 3: 1) Post your Intro Share: - who you are - what service business you run - where things feel messy or chaotic right now 2) Post your 30‑Day Sprint Focus Use your 5‑Minute Business Checkup result to fill this in. Pick ONE thing to install and ONE thing to fix based on your diagnosis. Use this format: In the next 30 days, I will install ____ and fix ____. 3) Leave 3 meaningful comments Go comment on 3 other intro posts. If you only have 15 minutes right now, do this in order: 1. Post your intro 2. Leave 3 comments 3. Go to Classroom → 30-Day Operating System Sprint → Lessons 1–3 Don’t binge. Do the next obvious thing.

I strayed away from this platform for a bit... I'm now trying to catch up on the tea, but something tells me, Gil would say, "did you watch the videos yet"...so let me go do that and revert when I have a question. But first, during my time away, I have built my new website, nearly one year later after building my first (proud moment). So much progress, with websites, landing pages, opt-ins, CHATGPT, Notion, social media, learning and growth, and in full transparency, there's some snags, and standstills...I still have a lot to learn, and I want to sometimes fast forward but then I realize, I'm in it for the long run...it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. So cheers to more learning, and growth. Thanks, Gil, for the classroom.

I am Laurie Love, Love & Life Coach. I empower individuals and couples to navigate the intricacies of intimacy through the 5 Erotic Blueprint™ types framework which helps you to identify how you are wired for pleasure and to see your intimate wants, needs and desires from a new perspective. I have 10+ years of experience exploring intimacy through the Erotic Blueprints framework and I help people identify & overcome obstacles that are keeping them from the intimate lives they desire. I assist clients in creating deeper connection and understanding of self and others, both inside and outside of relationships, taking the guess work out of sex to overcome frustration and unlock sexual satisfaction. I offer 1:1 private coaching virtually, where I hold space for clients to go on a journey of self-discovery and expansion, exploring what is possible in a safe, loving, respectful container free from judgement. I am an inclusive guide working with humans of all genders, sexual orientations and relationship statuses. I have lead 3 in person workshops in Orange Country, CA and enjoy being on podcasts because I really love talking about the Blueprints and the transformation that both I and my clients experience through this work. My "30 day focus" is to work on my email marketing campaign. Last year I got set up on Kartra and created biweekly emails to my subscriber list. Now I need to focus on the next year of content, including the right amount of promotion of my 1:1 coaching packages. I would like 1 new client in the next 30 days!
