Before we dive into our goals for July, I want to take a massive moment to recognise three incredible Resident Experts who have been showing up, dropping absolute gold, and adding immense value to our community over the last month. People who give the most, get the most. So please join me in congratulating our top three Resident Expert champions for June, who all get a spot at the very top of the classroom. 🥇 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗲𝗿𝘀 Taking the absolute top spot for June is Heather! She has been a powerhouse of support and advice in here all month. If you haven't connected with her yet, Heather runs The Directory On Skool. It is a brilliant visibility community for online business owners who are ready to stop shrinking and start getting found by the exact people searching for what they do. She even hosts an awesome "Red Light, Green Light" pitch-feedback game to help you ditch cookie-cutter pitches. If you want to stop getting lost in the algorithm, you need to be in her world. 👉 Check out Heather's community here 🥈 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 Coming in hot at number two is Kristine! Kristine has been bringing incredible energy to our discussions. Over in her own space, along with @Mary Newton She Builds Anyway, they have created a phenomenal free AI community specifically for women building digital income. Whether you are a mom building a side hustle in your "stolen hours" or a woman over 50 reinventing yourself with "reclaimed hours," Kristine and Mary breaks down AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude into plain English with zero overwhelm. 👉 Check out Kristine's community here

If so, then this new feature in The Skool Extension (premium version) is EXACTLY what you need. - Three new "inactive member" triggers fire when someone hasn't been seen on Skool, hasn't posted, commented or liked anywhere, or hasn't posted in this community for a set number of days - with the days-inactive and last-active date ready as variables for your messages. People joined your community for a reason. Now, you can remind people why they joined and invite them back to the party! As far as I'm concerned, this single workflow feature alone is worth the money to remind your members that you are still here, doing what you do. 😁

It's Friday! Even though I'm lucky enough to choose however I spend each day. I still quite like Fridays because weekend is time dedicated to my friends and family and it's gorgeous weather out there, so I reckon a swim in the sea and social barbecue is definitely on the cards. So for me Friday is all about just wrapping up all the loose ends and finishing jobs from the week ready to start afresh on Monday morning. I noticed it was really cool outside and that tree stump was in shade so I took the opportunity to have a little digging session while I my subconscious can process and prioritise the days tasks for me. Suddenly, the mammoth task of removing this tree stump has become so easy because it can be like a big business where it's easy to get overwhelmed, thinking of trying to do everything all at once, or not knowing where to start. It's now broken down into manageable chunks, So with the nip of a battery chainsaw I'll be able to pop through each one and lift it out. I've been out there every day this week, mindfully enjoying just an hour or so exposing a little more root each day. I compare this to showing up everyday and doing one step towards your main business goal everyday. I talk more about chunking down tasks in the very first module of my classroom. So let me see how your day is progressing. Whatever you're doing, take a pic or two right now, share it below and write anything you like.

last week I stepped away from a business partnership, because our values were no longer aligned. Being deeply trauma informed isn’t a nice extra in my work. It’s the foundation of everything I do. I’d been feeling the misalignment for months, and eventually I realised that staying was costing me more than leaving. Walking away meant losing a big chunk of my monthly income. It also meant leaving a community I genuinely loved. That wasn’t an easy decision. But since making it? So much has shifted. New opportunities have appeared. New ideas have landed. I feel more creative, more energised and, most importantly, so much lighter. Sometimes the thing we’re clinging is just delaying what’s waiting on the other side. If you’ve been putting off making a decision because you’re scared of what you’ll lose… This is your sign. Trust yourself. The peace waiting for you on the other side might be worth far more than what you’re holding onto. 🖤
