This is the introductions thread. Say hi, tell us what your business is all about! In your introduction, answer these 3 questions: ➡️ What is your name? (feel free to share pronouns if you’d like!) ➡️ What is your business or platform? Who do you serve, what do you sell, etc ➡️ What are you most excited to explore in Monetize?

I just wrote a champagne email for an upcoming workshop I'm doing about running a research lab (I coach women professors). When I was writing it, I was like, "I'm going to be putting off all of those newbies who have never run a lab before" but pressed on with the champagne mentality that those will be attracted anyway. Does anyone else have champagne anxiety? I feel like I never have it on things like coaching mindset and time management, but for some reason this lab management stuff got me feeling anxious.

This is a great time to get back on track, get motivated to re-launch or go evergreen, and have FUN! All the specifics, dates, and details will be added to the Accelerator course in the classroom HERE. We’ll be adding more info as we get closer.

We've never done a live cohort for Profit Architecture and am not sure if we’ll do it again (everything is an experiment!), so let’s go all out and have fun implementing together this spring! xx Mariah PS - do you have a friend who should join the LIVE Profit Architecture Accelerator before we kick off?

Hi all! I'm a 1:1 coach who's just finishing up my first small group programme (coaching + Vimeo links of content). I was all ready to uplevel and jump in investing with Kajabi as joint course host and CRM... and then I discovered Mariah. So I'm rethinking everything and also now feeling more confident to launch a community (which my former business coach would always say not to do until you had made $100k 1:1). I'm thinking of launching my community on Skool, but here's the thing that's slowing me down... Kajabi seemed like a nice, neat all in one solution for my woes. Combine emailing and CRM with course hosting and replace my shitty website. But when I look at Mariah's tech recommendations, there are so many it makes my head spin. So my question is, what are the benefit of having ConvertKit, SamCart, Air Table, Skool etc. all separate instead of all-in-one? As a newbie to this world am I better just going for an all-in-one? I appreciate Kajabi might not do all of this, I'm yet to get to grips with any of these. Any thoughts appreciated!

My coaching business is small at the moment and I run it alongside a full-time job as a professor (I'm going 3 days a week from January). I want to grow my business and I'm wondering whether it will be beneficial to hire a VA, even just for a couple of hours a week, to do the things that take ages. For example, this morning I bashed out a blog post/newsletter in about 25 minutes. But the whole process of: 💁🏽‍♀️ Writing the post 💁🏽‍♀️ Creating the document in my Organic Content Machine 💁🏽‍♀️ Posting it to Squarespace 💁🏽‍♀️ Posting it to email newsletter in ConvertKit 💁🏽‍♀️ Making instagram posts in Canva and posting has taken me 3 hours. My time is precious. I have a 2 year old. I bet a VA could do this in a fraction of the time and make it look better. At the same time, I'm all for a light and lean business. I don't want to be hiring out if I don't need to. But there are so many areas that I could be investing my time in better, like creating my LTO funnel or my Evergreen Engine. What is best to do? I would like a VA, but I want one who "gets" the kind of Mariah-style way, like OCM and efficient and nice-looking content. My next question is, where do I find one who gets it?
