I'm a librarian at a local university. I've been in technology and innovation for over 25 years and use a types of tools in delivering information literacy instruction to students. I've been working with faculty colleagues on AI and virtual reality in teaching for the last two years and really enjoy it; but, I'm at the age where retirement in looming and I'm trying to pivot to a solopreneur business that is around creativity. I'm hoping AI can help run this really audacious dream I have.

For everyone that wanted to see the videos I was talking about that I have been doing for clients as ads for holidays here they are! So fun!

It was a shorter session (back-to-school week meant a lighter crowd), but don't let that fool you — this one was packed with launches, side hustles, and one seriously unforgettable prop. From a brand-new "vision to action plan" skill to a six-foot inflatable lobster making its Amazon debut, the energy in the room was pure "let's actually build this thing." What we covered: - Where to find the Skool skill library (Classroom > weekly campfire replays > top of page) and how to pull a skill into Claude with a simple slash command - A brand-new skill: Vision to Action Plan — turns your 4-month dream into 3 SMART goals, broken down week by week, with an option to build it into a tracker or dashboard - The custom GPT sharing changes happening in ChatGPT, and why converting GPTs into portable Claude/Chat skills is the smarter long-term move - A look at a personal CEO dashboard and budget app built in Base44, blending business assets, resources, income scenarios, and expenses into one place - Book publishing platform breakdown: Amazon vs. IngramSpark (global distribution) vs. Lulu (best for spiral-bound journals and planners) - Print-on-demand talk — Printify's newly redesigned pop-up stores, Stripe integration, and how it compares to Etsy What your fellow members are actively working on: - @Sandy Parker is prepping a big fall stretch — book trailer, international travel, a book signing, a market event, and a multi-day summit, all within about a month - A few members are exploring VIP half-day and full-day offers as a new way to book more client hours - @Ronda Taylor is writing a three-book bundle series tied into custom GPTs built around solo travel and location independence - A few members ( @Marie Whitehead ) are experimenting with print-on-demand products (mugs, journals, tote bags) tied to their personal brand or book Missed the live call?
