For everyone who is curious, we have arrived safely at our destination. Thank you for all the well wishes, and welcome to all the new members who joined today - that was a wonderful surprise when I turned my phone back on! Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

You can now start making $$$ from your Classifieds membership! If you're feeling down because you missed out on upgrading to Premium for $22/year yesterday, don't be! Even though the new prices are now $3/month or $33/year, you now have the opportunity to make your money back and more! I'm so excited to announce that the Classifieds now has an affiliate program that allows you as members to benefit monetarily from referring the group to others! Every time someone you refer upgrades to a Premium membership, you will receive a 30% commission. What does that mean? If just one person you refer upgrades, you are back to our original pricing, if three people upgrade, your premium membership is free, and if more than that upgrade, you are a co-owner and profiting from being a member of the group! This is something that I've been wanting to do for awhile, but I had to wait until all the numbers made sense. With this in mind, let's see if we can grow our community together to reach the goal of 1,000 high-quality members by the end of the year!!! 🎉 Please remember that this group is restricted to Skool group owners who have an active community listed on their profile. Also, they must be listed as the owner of the group, not an admin. I hope you are as excited about this as I am. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and let's get referring! Oh, and don't forget about the Now What? free masterclass tomorrow. If you aren't sure what you should be putting in your classroom or you want to make your classroom better, you won't want to miss it! 😉

And focused instead on slowing down, creating JOY in your life, and supporting your nervous system in feeling super safe and nourished? This might seem like a strange thing to say for someone who literally runs a community all about letting go of excess weight! But seriously…if you are miserable in your life, moving too quickly, and your nervous system doesn’t feel safe, that excess weight isn’t going anywhere, not for long anyway. You can brute force your way to letting go of a few pounds, but they’ll likely come right back on the minute a new stressor comes into your life. Ask me how I know? Yeah, you’re right, I totally did that for a few years. Tried to let go of weight when I was moving too quickly, disconnected from myself, living in fight/flight. I could lose some weight for a few weeks, but it would come right back on the minute something new or challenging happened. When I really allowed myself to slow down, connected daily with my emotions, and deeply nourished myself with consistent deep relaxation, that’s when everything shifted. The 70 pounds plus, it felt like it melted off without even that much effort when my nervous system finally felt safe. And rampant cortisol was no longer sabotaging all my efforts for letting go of weight. Insulin resistance was a piece of my puzzle as well. When I supported my body in managing both CORTISOL, the stress hormone, and INSULIN, the blood sugar hormone, my body became a fat burning machine. That’s why I go in depth about insulin and cortisol in Video 2 of Release the Weight that Holds You Back. Those two hormones are soooo important if you want to release excess weight with joy and ease. I even got too skinny at one point. Didn’t stay there for too long, dont worry! What are some ways you can slow down, connect with yourself emotionally, and help your nervous system to feel safe? Share in the comments below! What can you do starting today?

So often people mistake what I do for something else. They think that teaching them how to create a high-quality course means creating something that has high production value (it doesn't). They think that teaching them how to create a course means creating pretty canva slide decks (it doesn't). They think that teaching them how to organize their content means how to order the "courses" in their classroom (it doesn't). They think that teaching them how to get students into their course means how to market and launch (it doesn't). And it's not their fault. Most of us don't know what goes into creating an effective, efficient, and engaging course because we haven't seen a lot of them. Most people are replicating what they've seen others doing, and I'm here to tell you that what most people are doing is bad. Like, really bad. It's the reason why people say that online courses are dead - because most online courses are at best ineffective and at worst a hot mess. So, what do I do??? I teach you the exact frameworks to use to organize your expertise in a way that people can easily implement into their lives. I teach you the pedagogy and methodology that is based on how the science of how the brain learns so that you can present your expertise in a way that transforms instead of confuses and overwhelms. I walk you step-by-step through the decision-making process so that you know you've covered all your bases and have created something that you are proud to put out into the world. I teach you how to get real results for your students so that you stand out in a crowded marketplace and are excited about the value you provide to your members. Join the Build Lab today to get started creating your course alongside an award-winning educator with 25 years of experience in curriculum and course design so that you can be certain that your course delivers top-of-the-industry results. You can also DM me for a private consultation on how we can best work together if you would like more 1:1 assistance.
