On my beach walk this morning, the gears ⚙️ started churning...somethings about my business, my 3 skool communities, and what I wanted for breakfast became so clear for me. ✅ Breakfast - nut & seed mix, greek yogurt, maple syrup and blueberries ✅ Business - created scripts for a few video ads and YouTube episodes I am recording today ✅ This Skool community - watch the video 👇 📊 Let me know in the poll after watching the video what's important to you in 2026 (and feel free to expand in the comments)

I know some of you are trying to get Level 2 by 8:59am Eastern on Dec 23, so you can attend my FREE workshop on: Your 2026 One-Page Plan 🗓 TUESDAY, December 23 ⏰ 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern So here's what you need to do to get 5 points to level up. 1. Post your introduction here in the comments with this template: Start here when you join! Share: who you are, what you do, why you’re here. #1 – Who are you, where are you from, and what kind of business or clients you work with? #2 – What’s one thing you want to learn or walk away with about AI for your business? #3 – For fun: what’s one AI tool, hack, or workflow you’ve loved experimenting with? #4 – Drop a photo of your current work setup (bonus points if you’ve got your “AI command center” vibes going ✨). 👉 Skip for now: links, offers, CTAs — this is about connection first. No links, promos, or disguised pitches at this stage. 2. Leave 4 thoughtful comments on other people's posts so your response elicits a come back from the author of the post. The rest of the community will try to support you in time!! Now, go!!

Skool ranks communities by category then by engagement! We are in the money category where the bulk of communities are. There are over 18 million skool members. And we are 126!!! That’s from all of your comments, posts, GIFs, etc. And when this community becomes visible, more members will join and all your work to move up the leaderboard, speak in our summits and bundles, will pay off. Thanks everyone!! Drop me a 🔥🔥 if you’re just as pumped as I am!!

On Friday, right after my session with Brenda, I opened a short Black Friday free-trial window for my YouTube Income Vault🔐. 🎉 A few of you joined right away which honestly made my whole afternoon. And then… the sign-ups just kept coming. We’re now at 45 people inside the free trial. Forty-five! Over a weekend! And the timing couldn’t be better because tomorrow we’re starting a 5-day Setup & Optimization Challenge inside the Vault. This is the challenge where everyone gets their YouTube presence fully set up to be indexed by ChatGPT - even if they haven’t posted a single video yet. (About half of our members don’t have channels yet. They’re preparing the right way.) If you were in Brenda’s session and you’ve been thinking about making YouTube part of your 2026 plan, the free trial gives you access to everything happening this week: ✨ The Setup & Optimization Challenge ✨ The YouTube Kickstart ✨ A supportive, focused community ✨ Training on visibility, evergreen content, and getting found by the right people 🚨 The free 7-day trial access closes Monday at midnight. If you want to join the momentum, now’s the moment. ➡️ join the Vault - free for 7 days
