Man, yesterday was a really productive day for me - in the real world. We finally got the electrical worked out so the fan we installed several weeks ago thinking we would "just" hook the Romex (the wiring) from the fan through the ceiling of our 125 year old house right across the floor of the attic and then drop it down the wall to the outlet ... Have you ever done any home improvement project where it was just like you expected it to be and took you 20 minutes? To begin with apparently there is a second floor in the attic which one accesses through a small hole in the closet of my bedroom which is part of the 3rd addition to the house. Once you go through the hole you have to squeeze through another section and then there is the actual roof off the original house - that's as much as I can see from the opening of the hole cause there is no way in hell I'm going through that hole... My husband and one of my sons ran the wire a full weekend project in itself - the next weekend was just getting the fan attached to the ceiling. This weekend for rewiring the porch light so that we could get power to the switch and be able to run the fan - and it will be another weekend when I will work on putting the dry wall back over the space. I did get a new porch light out of the deal too and am really happy with it. Today I'm going to take it easy - I slept in as long as the dogs would let me - my husband got up first which never happens and they were all confused. Did you have a productive Saturday too or did you get to hang out and relax? 🌼🪴🍁🌴🪴🍁🌼 This week is going to be jam packed: Monday is the VIP Mastermind 3pm mtn - we are working through the Client Attraction Masterclass - a course designed to facilitate the setting up of/restructuring of your business so that it is designed to attract clients systematically.

My mind has been rather blown lately... every day I read through your notes and your posts. It feels like I've walked into your life. Like opening a treasure chest and examining each jewel closely. Seeing people hit the rising in categories on Substack - so exciting. @Alli Gatlin has been on it and just last night @Janay Trevillion hit #47 rising in Travel - it's one of those things that is very fleeting and feels special when you can catch it. I know there are others in here who have been rising in a categories too (please share!!). One of the reasons I talk about adding the "smaller" less competitive category first is that it's easier to get traction in the smaller category than the more competitive one though that might be the one that more accurately describes what you do. We did a mastermind about this a while back - you can catch that here - https://youtu.be/aDqcuK3bOqU or open the description, copy the transcript, drop it into ai and get ai to summarize for you. On that note... 🟢🔷🗨️🫟🗨️🔷🟢 I'm opening up the podcast for new guests to feature (or re-featuring you if it's been a bit) if you're interested in joining me to share what you're doing to be the change you seek in the world please pop over to the application page here (you can learn more about the podcast and get on the calendar there) 🟢🔷🗨️🫟🗨️🔷🟢 Next Tuesday we're doing the Substack Setup Intensive LIVE - we go through all the settings, talk about setting up the custom theme and highlight the important - must do pieces to get your Substack setup to be fully monetizable and sustainable long term. This is not a one and done course - Substack is always changing and adding things - which is why the replays are so helpful. There's a lot. You can learn more here: #🎯START HERE

How did we reach the end of July? It's rodeo weekend round here - which means more fireworks - feels like we have fireworks and parades in this town every weekend in July - next month will be the fair and then life will settle down for fall. (my very favorite season). Yesterday's Mastermind was all about notes and it was so great to have so many of you join live! Highlights? 📝 Post Notes daily. (Three per day is the sweet spot, but one consistently is far better than none. Use the scheduler so you never miss a day.) 💬 Spend at least as much time commenting as posting. Meaningful conversations are what make Notes work. 🌎 Don't stay inside our community. Support each other, then intentionally branch out into conversations happening across Substack. ❤️ Leave comments that add something to the discussion rather than simply saying "Great post!" The goal is to become memorable. 🤝 Build relationships before trying to build subscribers. Subscribers are the byproduct of genuine connection. 🔄 Return to older Notes and continue conversations. A new comment can bring an older Note back into circulation. 📚 Engage with articles and Chats, not just Notes. Every interaction increases your visibility. 🎯 Think of Notes as networking, not broadcasting. You're joining conversations, not posting advertisements. 🚪Use your Notes to open the door to your publication rather than trying to sell directly in the Note itself. 📈 Consistency beats occasional bursts of activity. Showing up every day compounds over time. 💜 Your personality is your advantage. People subscribe because of the person behind the publication as much as the content itself. Catch the replay w/transcript here 🌱 ✨ 💜 🤝 📝 💬 🚀 ☕ 🌿 Tuesday we'll be doing the Substack Setup Intensive LIVE again - we begin at 10am mtn #🎯START HERE to join us.

@Jill Hart I want to thank you for sharing your time and Substack expertise with me today. You shared several gems on how I can: Expand the reach of my newsletter, Proof Over Perfection Reward subscribers, and Build templates that save time when creating my articles. I was stuck on how to repurpose my YouTube videos and you guided me to create my Substack podcast. I created a custom template that I can use to highlight my special offers and perks. What a win! If you have not scheduled your Substack Audit with Jill, I recommend you do it. She can give you actionable feedback to get you moving in the right direction; building community, and creating a workflow that makes it easier to launch and remain consistent. Thank you Jill!

I'm up early today to welcome the full moon - Thanks @Tracy Nicholas for your cool ritual tool you created over in your community Awaken Your Magic - I know different people have different ideas about magic - however in my world view magic exists around all day, every day and though we can ascribe it to a deity, many deities or no deities it doesn't mitigate its impact in our lives. To me, magic is simply things that happen that we aren't yet able to explain scientifically. But just because we can't explain it doesn't mean we can't enjoy it and be grateful for it. I love this time of the day, when it's quiet and dark and I can enjoy the moon in whatever phase it's in. Tracy goes live on Substack on Thursdays at noon mtn - pop on in and join us! This week's focus is creating sacred spaces - her perspective I suspect will surprise you. (well maybe not if you've been following her notes this week!) ✨🌿🪶🕊️🪶🌿✨ Today is the Monetize Your Mission Mastermind - I've been looking forward to this one for a while now. We're going to be discussing Notes over on Substack. Best strategies - celebrating some successes like at @Soph Newman 's note that's gone viral - 17k likes and 1.2K restack so far and 398 comments!! You can check it out here It was not that long ago she decided she already had 10,000 subscribers (I think she had less than 100 at the time) and in just a short while is now pushing 600. THAT is the power of notes. We will be breaking down her note and why I think it's so effective. And we'll be talking about strategies to get your notes to get shared in a way that grows your reach.
