@Michelle Wilson had a bday this week! I hope it was a great celebration.

I was just a few days away from getting my flame back….. NO… why does it hurt so much? Of course I’m happy I had a $20k week in B2B role. I was cooking this week and was with a client all day Thursday, plus a speaking event which turned into $5k before walking out of the room and booked 3 additional sales calls from that event. When I laid in bed around 9:45 pm Eastern, finally, exhausted but a good tired. You know what I mean? I knew I worked hard. I won big. And I grabbed my phone to hop on Skool and watch Skool news from the day before and check out all the wins from one of my Skool communities. That warm, anxious, dreaded feeling that courses from my head to my gut became the realization that was my first login for the day. 🔥🤦🏻‍♂️🙋‍♂️bye bye…. I was so close to getting 🔥 back. A matter of days. I’m pretty active here but the elusive icon has missed me. For you newbies, the struggle is real. People laugh that I make a big deal about the 🔥 but it gives me inspiration. It really does. Of course I’m happy with the revenue growth for the week. July will likely be the biggest billing month of my career doing leadership development. Once I convert my B2B clients over to my Skool Leaders Edge group, I will be going for different icons. 🔥🍀🥷💎🚀

For the past 10 years, I’ve helped hundreds of B2B companies improve leadership, marketing, business development, sales, operations, and client success. I’ve built frameworks and processes that work, but I’ve also had to admit something important: I’m a visionary, not an operator. I love creating strategy, solving problems, developing people, building relationships, and helping companies grow. What I don’t naturally love is documenting every process, creating SOPs, organizing technology, and turning everything into a polished, repeatable operating system. So I’m exploring a different model. I’m looking for a Founding Operator with strong systems and operational skills who would help me build and package the B2B Blueprint Operating System. This would not be an employee role or an equity partnership. The Founding Operator would help refine, document, test, and improve the system. In return, they would receive preferred financial terms, and I would personally help them build their own advisory business around the system, including positioning, content, business development, sales, landing clients, and delivering their first engagements. But the B2B Blueprint is about more than business growth. At its core, it begins with identity and leadership. Before we fix strategy, we help leaders and teams understand who they are, why they are there, and what they are building together. When people move out of fear, self-protection, comparison, and internal politics, they can begin operating from trust, clarity, courage, and a common purpose. That changes communication. It changes accountability. It changes execution. And ultimately, it changes the business. The long-term vision is a complete operating system that helps B2B companies create predictable growth by aligning: - Identity and leadership - Team alignment and purpose - Marketing and positioning - Content systems - Business development - Sales - Operations - Client onboarding and success -

While I didn't make the top 10 and get an all-expenses-paid trip to the mastermind in LA, I do get to attend. I just have to pay for it myself. Overall, I cannot complain. I'm a little bummed because I have a $360,000 proposal I couldn't count on since I didn't have a signature yet. That would have made me in the top three. Had I not joined that group, I would not have had the cojones to price my last few deals the way that I have. And that includes my cohort. I plan to bring all of the things that I've learned in that group to any of you who would like it.

Stop Chasing Smaller Goals. Start Asking Bigger Questions. Most people don’t need another productivity hack. They need better questions. The quality of your life is often determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself. The right question doesn’t just give you an answer, it changes your identity, your standards, and ultimately your future. My word for 2026 was “Identity” 🧠 Identity Your future isn’t created by what you do occasionally—it’s created by who you become. Ask yourself: - Who are you becoming over the next 3 years? - What version of you already exists in the future? - What decisions would that future self make this month? Don’t think about what you want. Think about who you must become. 🚀 Impossible Goal Benjamin Hardy often says we’re kept from our biggest goals not by obstacles, but by the clear path to a smaller, safer goal. Podcast Myron Golden and Benjamin Hardy.docx Ask yourself: - If success were guaranteed, what would you commit to? - What goal feels exciting enough that it scares you? - What smaller goal are you settling for because it feels safe? Sometimes the greatest risk isn’t aiming too high. It’s aiming too low. ✍️ Narrative The story you tell yourself determines the future you create. Reflect on these: - What story about your past are you still carrying that no longer serves you? - What would your future self thank you for changing today? - Where are you measuring yourself against an ideal instead of your actual progress? Remember: Happiness comes from measuring backward, not forward. Progress isn’t found in the gap between where you are and perfection—it’s found in the gain between where you are today and where you started. Your challenge today: Choose one question—not all nine. Spend 10 uninterrupted minutes writing without editing yourself. You may discover that the breakthrough you’ve been searching for isn’t hiding in another strategy. It’s waiting behind a better question. Which prompt hit you the hardest? 👇
