I want to share a story around a decision I made yesterday. I removed @Al Anderson from the group due to spam. This community has a zero-spam policy, and I take that seriously. My goal is to protect this space so members aren’t flooded with unsolicited DMs or pitches from people who aren’t here to contribute. That said, this has never been an anti-collaboration community. After a conversation, AI Anderson shared that his intention was to learn about books and participate without spamming. I’m open to second chances when intentions are clear and boundaries are respected. So here’s the line I’m drawing clearly: 👉 No spam. No cold pitching. No unsolicited DMs. 👉 Collaboration and community are welcome—when done openly and respectfully. To support that, I’m opening this one thread for visibility and connection. 👇 In the comments, feel free to share: - Who you are - How you help people - A link to your community (if you have one) This keeps everything transparent, optional, and respectful for everyone here. Thanks for helping keep this community valuable.

Most people in here are building (or planning to build) an online business. But let’s be honest—almost none of us started right away. 😱 Was it: - Fear of failing (or being judged)? - Not enough money? - Feeling like you didn’t know enough yet? - Being way outside your comfort zone? Now here’s the interesting part 👀 When you started thinking about writing your book… did the same thing show up again? Fear, overthinking, waiting for the “right time,” second-guessing yourself? 👉 Drop a comment: - What held you back then? - And did you notice any overlap when it came to starting your book? No wrong answers—patterns are where the breakthroughs usually start. **Funny side note I searched "stuck" in the GIFs and saw this image pop up and this is exactly why my son has a fear of the BIG POTTY. I'm actively in a potty training process and he only insists on using the kids potty**
