My community hit an important milestone. We crossed the 100-member line! How did I do it? I did it by showing up regularly in a handful of communities and giving value. I jump in, celebrate with people, share my wins and what I'm learning, answer the questions I can, and generally be of service. I take the approach of finding ways to give and connect. The second thing that I do is post regularly in my community. I don't just post random stuff. I make posts that are thought-provoking and valuable. When people get value, they stay. Thought-provoking posts get people to engage, and engagement is one of the metrics that move your community closer to the top of the discovery page. That means it's more likely that a community will be found by people searching for one to join. If I had to boil this all down to one phase, it would be, "give value." What's one way you can give value here or in another community today?

For a long time, I believed that strategy, tools, or the algorithm were the reason I wasn’t moving forward in the online world. Turns out… that wasn’t true. What slowed me down was chaos. And chaos disguised itself as “work.” I still remember one specific week: I had eleven open projects, five notebooks full of ideas, and three different “plans” running at the same time. I was working all day… and by Friday, I couldn’t point to a single thing that was actually finished. That was the week I realized the problem wasn’t effort. It was disorder.. And I see the same pattern in many people trying to grow: – 10 open projects – 0 finished – 50 ideas – 0 products – lots of content – little direction – many courses – very little implementation And all of it is hidden behind one sentence: “I don’t have time.” But that’s not true. It’s not a lack of time. It’s a lack of structure. When an expert has no structure, they start working against themselves: – messaging becomes unclear – the audience doesn’t know what they sell – decisions become reactive – momentum collapses And eventually, the worst thought shows up: “Maybe I’m just not good enough.” But you are. You just don’t have a system that keeps your expertise aligned and moving. The one shift that changed everything for me was this: Business doesn’t grow from the amount of work you do. It grows from the amount of work you finish. And without structure, nothing gets finished. So I’ll leave you with one question: Where in your business is chaos slowing down everything else?

Your body always knows who you are. Your soul always knows where you’re going. Only your mind creates the noise. For a long time, I couldn’t understand why I could have strategic plans, tools, courses, frameworks… and still feel stuck in my online business. Later, something finally clicked: When you’re not aligned with yourself, nothing you build aligns with you. You can have the best strategy. The best funnel structure. The best marketing ideas. But if you’re not creating from your core, everything collapses, not on the outside, but on the inside. Maybe you’ve felt it too. You work, push, test, learn… but something in you feels disconnected. Something doesn’t hold. Something in the structure doesn’t “click,” even when the framework is correct. And it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. It’s because the system you’re building isn’t being built from your identity. A funnel built from noise creates more noise. A funnel built from truth creates power. Marketing without inner alignment creates chaos. Marketing from your essence creates magnetism. Offers created from pressure feel heavy. Offers created from identity feel clear. And here’s the one insight I learned the hard way, the one I wish I understood much earlier: If you’re not creating from who you truly are, everything you build will stand on shaky ground. But when you pause for a moment… when you quiet your mind… when you allow the silence to speak… Your true identity starts resurfacing. The part of you that has been there since the beginning. And when that returns, things you struggled to align for years suddenly fall into place. Your messaging. Your structure. Your funnel. Your strategy. Your direction. Not because you found a new hack. But because you finally returned to yourself. Not a new person. The same person — finally honest, finally aligned. Let me ask you: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Where in your business do you feel the biggest gap between who you are and what you´re building?

I got a commission today that I wasn't expecting. I didn't expect it because when I referred the person to the program, I did it without really thinking about it. I thought it would help them, I gave them the link, and didn't have any expectations about what would happen. Some time went by, and I kind of forgot about it. I just figured they went a free route it offered. Then today I got the payout. It reminded me of something I thought I had learned years ago at the beginning of my massage career, which has made a huge difference there. I was missing it with my affiliate business, though, and I think it's been one of the main things holding me back. What's the lesson? Let go of the expectation. Don't focus on the outcomes. Focus on doing what's right by people with the understanding that the outcome you want will come. It may not come from this person, but it will come. Alex Hormozi talks about this a lot. He says not to focus on the outcome. Focus on the inputs. You can control the inputs, but you can't control the outcomes. Either way you want to see it, the scenario is the same. Focus on doing the things that lead people to become clients, not the outcome. To get more of the outcome, do the inputs a lot.

The more time I spend in online world, the more I realize something I never expected: Strategy only works when the person behind it is aligned. Funnels matter. Offers matter. Messaging matters. But at the end of the day… who you are when you build shapes everything that comes out of it. And I learned that the hard way. I’m not writing this as someone who has all the answers. I’m writing it as someone who tried fixing everything outside his business… …before ever looking inward. I rebuilt funnels that weren’t broken. Tweaked offers that didn’t need tweaking. Jumped from idea to idea, hoping the next thing would finally “unlock” the results I wanted. And here’s what kept confusing me: Two people could run the same strategy, same challenge, same funnel, same steps… One grows fast. The other stays stuck. And for a long time, I thought it was skill. Or timing. Or maybe just luck. But then I started being honest with myself… It wasn’t the strategy that was misaligned. It was me. I was building from pressure. From comparison. From wanting things to work now, instead of building from who I really was. Once I slowed down and got more grounded in my own identity, things didn’t magically transform, but they finally made sense. My decisions got clearer. My message felt more natural. My work stopped feeling like a performance. And I started showing up with less force, and more truth. So I’m curious — because this question shifted a lot for me: Who are YOU… when the noise fades, and you’re simply showing up as yourself? If you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear it.
