Free AI Course!!
Hey 3XF Fam! We just launched what I think will be one of the top AI courses on Udemy. I have a link that’ll get you the course for FREE but in exchange I’m asking for an honest review. We need to boost our stat rating! Here’s the course: https://www.udemy.com/course/ai-ready-professional-certification/ Comment below if you’re interested and I’ll have the link DM’d to you. We’ve capped the free courses at 100 and Nuno and Ivan are also offering them to their communities so when they’re gone they’re gone. Thank you šŸ™ Kasim

Google Ads Manager Account Hacked - Help Appreciated šŸ™
Hi all - I had a wild start to the week today. What happened: - One of my PPC specialist’s had their work email account hacked - The said hacker added themselves as an admin in our Google ads manager account - They then removed ALL of our legitimate agency team members from the MCC - 150+ client accounts at risk (Google Ads and LSAs), active campaigns running - This person has initiated various manual Google ads payments for $50,000…even three for $500,000 Current status: - I’ve called, chatted and emailed Google support and have case IDs loaded with documentation - Getting a 24-48 hour resolution estimate just for a response - Asked clients to freeze their credit cards + block google ads transactions with their banks - We’ve also: enabled 2FA on all team miners accounts and changed passwords - Hacker access is solely isolated to Google Ads thus far - no g-drive or access to other documents Need your input: 1. Has anyone dealt with this recently? What expedited your recovery? 2. Any direct escalation paths beyond standard support? 3. Contact at Google who handles emergency account recovery situations? 4. Ways to protect client accounts while locked out of MCC? 5. Legal/compliance considerations we should document NOW? Every minute this person has access increases risk to client data and campaigns. Needless to say, it’s not a fun situation having clients reach out, asking us why they’re seeing attempted charges for 50k from Google Ads. If you've been through this, or at least know someone at Google who can help escalate and treat this is as truly urgent, I’d really appreciate it your sharing in the comments or shooting me a DMšŸ™ I’ve already barraged support today and have case IDs, but I’m just trying to work all possible angles to get this resolved ASAP. Thanks in advance! šŸ™

It doesn't help you now, but two-factor authentication is a non-negotiable as it prevents exactly this kind of thing. I had a similar issue with Facebook which cost me just over $800 in ad spend in 11 minutes of an account being compromised before I locked it down 😤 It was an expensive lesson, but it helped me ensure it never happened again. I hope you get this fixed soon and unfortunately I don't have any advice on getting things back other than what you are already trying.
Back by popular demand
Fifty-five people showed up live to do the work with Christene Marie last week. Almost everyone stayed until the very end. If you were there, you know just how extraordinary it was. The feedback: ā€œGetting into alignment with our true self as a compass will create so many rewards in our life and business.ā€ ā€œI honestly feel like this 90 minutes has already covered that I was completely deaf too, and heard loud and clear for a brief workshop. This workshop could have easily been a five hour day session… There’s so much magic in this community!ā€.ā€ ā€œI think I’m getting excited about who I get to be.ā€ So… by popular demand, Christene is back today for an encore session. A lot of you expressed wishing you could have made it so we’re hosting it again. FREE for all 3X Freedom members Thursday, November 6 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET Google Meet : https://meet.google.com/ggs-hnsc-qhe Feel free to bring your family, friends, or anyone who’s ready to get honest about who they are, who they’ve been, and who they’re becoming. Show up. Do the work. Freedom starts with Knowing.

@Christene Marie THANK YOU!!!
How are you building community?
Short version: I deleted every social media account after Charlie Kirk's assassination due to the absolute insanity on socials from both sides. I am no longer willing to use any social media. It is a complete cesspool of negativity and hate!! So how are you building your Skool (or other) community without using socials?

@Lee-Anne Scott you are assuming I have clients and will have people checking me out. If anybody wants to check me out they can do it on Skool or a website. Socials are not required, my brother is proof of that. I am just not interested enough to constantly feed a machine with positivity and rainbows to make it work. There is no other walk of life that people would tolerate something that constantly did the opposite of what they want and need.

Types of teaching.
This morning I wrote on the last page of a journal I’ve had for years but I didn’t use until recently. The majority of it was from journaling emotions after my wife’s stroke. The first entry was on Sept 9, 2019. It is a quote from a photography teacher who has taught online. R C Concepcion. ā€œPeople teach for a couple of reasons. People teach to show how good they are Or People teach to show how good you are.ā€ [or can be] I want to be the latter. Your thoughts? Are there other ways to look at teaching?

Option 3 - enjoy seeing others succeed, I loved seeing my students master something, that has always give me a kick. Nothing better than explaining a tough concept that has a student with a slight confused look and then the moment the concept 'clicks' with them and you see their whole demeanor change. Whether they succeeded or not wasn't important for me, it was that they had a moment of growth and proved to themself they can do something hard.
