Ok, I just saw this prompt in another group and wanted to share! (Credit to Kim Job in Brenda Rigney's Aligned AF Camp 😊) Ask ChatGPT: Based on what you know about me, what's my mantra for 2026? Mine is in the comments - would love to hear yours!

I'm finally getting off my metaphorical butt and going to join a bundle to grow my email list. But I've only participated in bundles as a user, and so I'm not sure what best practice is for the little details that no one notices, but that make a huge difference. For example, I'm designing my landing page for my contributed product, but I'm stuck on what image to use. Do I use the cover of the product? A spread of sample pages from inside the product? What do you usually see when you click on a product in a bundle? (I foolishly didn't take notes during all the bundles I looked at myself. 🫠) This is for teachers who are looking for alternative activities kids can do if they don't earn a reward time, if that helps.

Let’s play with a thought experiment for a minute. A little dramatic… but stay with me... 🔥 What if you burned the pile? You know the one —the mental stack of to-dos, the obligations you said yes to out of guilt, the “shoulds,” the open tabs, the DMs you haven’t replied to, the 4,000 (do I hear 10,000? 30,000?) unread emails you swear you’ll deal with “someday.” What if you piled all of it up…struck a match…and let the whole thing go up in flames? What would happen? Would there be anything in that pile you’d actually miss? Anything truly urgent or essential… OR is most of it just noise you’ve been carrying out of habit? Would anything bad happen if you didn’t respond, fix, finish, or follow up? Or – and this is the real question – would it feel like release? Like creating a clean slate your brain hasn’t felt in years? Sometimes the reason we feel behind isn’t because we’re failing…it’s because we’re dragging around a pile of busywork that doesn’t even belong to us anymore. So today, just imagine: If you burned the pile, what would be lost? And what freedom might you gain? You don’t have to actually set anything on fire (tempting as it is 😅)…but noticing what you would burn tells you a lot about what’s still worth carrying. (Thanks to @Mike Richardson for sparking this reflection by suggesting I burn my own pile lol)

I’ve been behind the scenes this week reorganizing the Classroom and adding fresh trainings — and it’s all coming together around five core pillars of the Cold Coffee Club. Before I put the finishing touches on everything, I’d love a little pulse check — which pillar are you most drawn to right now? No pressure, no deep explanation needed… just whatever makes your brain go, “Ooh… that.” Here are the 5 pillars: 🧠 Pillar 1: Mindset (Rewrite the stories that are blocking success) ⏰ Pillar 2: Time + Energy (Get the most done in the time you actually have) 💰 Pillar 3: Revenue Systems (Turn your ideas into income without the hustle hangover) ⚙️ Pillar 4: Operations Systems (Make your business feel lighter by fixing what’s happening backstage) 🤖 Pillar 5: AI (Let tech do the heavy lifting to save you time/energy/etc.) I’m polishing the trainings inside each one, and your answers help me shape where we go first! Which pillar is calling you most right now? (Or… which one are you avoiding because it feels super hard? 😅) And if you’re not sure yet, that tells me something too!

There's this thing we do as entrepreneurs where we just... keep adding. New strategies. New platforms. New "must-have!" tools. New ways we "should" be showing up. And we rarely stop to ask: What can I actually put DOWN? I've been thinking about this a lot lately because I caught myself the other day still mentally budgeting time for a marketing strategy I haven't used in 18+ months (*cough* Facebook *cough*). Like my brain was still holding a spot for it. We do this constantly: - Keep paying for software we opened once in 2023 - Hold onto content strategies that made us miserable - Carry guilt about not doing the thing everyone says we "should" be doing - Maintain offers we've outgrown but feel obligated to keep - Stay in memberships we never use And here's the sneaky part: all of this takes up actual energy, even when we're not actively doing the thing. And do you know what's wild? The moment you actually decide to STOP doing something. 🤯 Suddenly there's space. Suddenly you can think more clearly about the things that actually matter. So here's your friendly reminder: - You don't have to keep doing the thing just because you started it. - You don't have to finish the program you paid for if it's not serving you. - You don't have to post on every platform because some course from 2019 said you needed to be "everywhere." - You don't have to keep the offer that worked two years ago if it doesn't fit your life now. 👉 You can just... stop. And it's not quitting. It's editing. The Actual Exercise (if you want to take this further) Open your notes app. Set a timer for 5 minutes. List everything you're carrying that you could put down: - Business stuff that's draining you - "Shoulds" that aren't actually moving the needle - Strategies that worked for someone else but make you want to hide under your desk - Subscriptions you're keeping out of guilt or fantasy - Projects you started in a different season of life . Just write it down. See it. Notice how long some of these things have been sitting there. Pick one thing. Just one. And put it down this week.
