Why is it always on the days when you have deadlines, calls, and so many things to do.. I'd literally only just got the computer set up perfectly after It got hacked in March. I was struggling today before I even turned the computer on 🫣 I hope you're having a much more productive day and if you're not then know you're not alone!!

Before we dive into our goals for July, I want to take a massive moment to recognise three incredible Resident Experts who have been showing up, dropping absolute gold, and adding immense value to our community over the last month. People who give the most, get the most. So please join me in congratulating our top three Resident Expert champions for June, who all get a spot at the very top of the classroom. 🥇 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗲𝗿𝘀 Taking the absolute top spot for June is Heather! She has been a powerhouse of support and advice in here all month. If you haven't connected with her yet, Heather runs The Directory On Skool. It is a brilliant visibility community for online business owners who are ready to stop shrinking and start getting found by the exact people searching for what they do. She even hosts an awesome "Red Light, Green Light" pitch-feedback game to help you ditch cookie-cutter pitches. If you want to stop getting lost in the algorithm, you need to be in her world. 👉 Check out Heather's community here 🥈 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 Coming in hot at number two is Kristine! Kristine has been bringing incredible energy to our discussions. Over in her own space, along with @Mary Newton She Builds Anyway, they have created a phenomenal free AI community specifically for women building digital income. Whether you are a mom building a side hustle in your "stolen hours" or a woman over 50 reinventing yourself with "reclaimed hours," Kristine and Mary breaks down AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude into plain English with zero overwhelm. 👉 Check out Kristine's community here

Would you rather have: More Time? or More Money? (Obviously both is the dream, but let's pretend it's not an option for the sake of this thought experiment) I'm pretty sure most people would vote for more time, but looking around, it appears that everyone is so busy running around chasing the money! (so maybe I'm wrong?) Take a few days off, 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. You won’t regret it. 🌞 Have a GREAT weekend.

I’ve been looking at the poll results and there are 15 of you who’ve put your hand up: - “I want to start a business. Looking for ideas.” - “I have ideas. Figuring out how to start.” - “I’m ready to start.” - “I’ve barely started.” This post is for you. I don’t want to just throw random business ideas at you. If you’re not excited by it, you won’t stick with it when it gets hard. My whole thing is helping you start with what you already have. Your skills, experience, interests and existing resources, and then opening doors for you with contacts, tools and opportunities that match you. But we need your help. 🚕 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝘅𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘆 “𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲” ...you’d say where you want to go. Same applies here. In the comments, tell us: - What are you obsessed with? - What gets you up early or keeps you up at night (in a good way)? - What do friends or family already come to you for help with? And for those of you who already have ideas but things are moving slowly, tell us what you’re stuck with. 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, willing and ready 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 get unstuck. What’s the very first thing that comes to mind for you personally. What is your passion or the main thing you feel stuck on right now? @Catherine Burns @Nikolaus Seitz @Lisa Hathcoat @Verna Kauffman @Bob Stawicki @Melanie Shaw @M Darden-smith @Roy Houston @Elizabeth Bautista @Steven Vancamp @Sam Carrington @Titania Thompson @Laura Chavarrio @Brian Diep

Real question: Have you started seeing people online say "Grab my Skill!" yet? 🙋‍♀️ If you use Claude, you will. It's everywhere right now. And I want to put my arm around you for a second before you click that download. ☕ Here's the part nobody tells you… A "Skill" isn't just a note. It can carry little hidden instructions — and sometimes tiny programs that actually RUN on your computer. Think of it like a recipe card from a stranger… except some recipe cards can quietly open your fridge, read your mail, and text your secrets to whoever wrote them. Most are totally fine. But you can't tell the safe ones from the sneaky ones just by looking at the pretty cover. So here's the rule, and it's a kind one: 🔥 Don't grab a Skill from just anyone. A real name. A real reputation. Someone you'd actually vouch for. Not a random viral post. 🔥 And when you do grab one — let Claude read it FIRST. Just say: "Read this Skill out loud to me. Explain what it does in plain English. Does it try to run code, read my files, or send anything out? Then adapt it for my business — and ask me anything you need before you build it." That one little step turns a stranger's mystery box into something that's actually yours. Clean. Safe. Built for you. We're not scared of new tools here. 💃 We're just the smart ones who check the recipe card before we eat. 😋 Have you seen the "Grab my Skill" posts yet? Drop a 🔥 in the comments so I know you saw this one. 👇
