I started this community about a month ago. Wasn't sure the direction I wanted to take it in. I've now decided. WHO HAS PRODUCTS TO SELL? JUST $5 A MONTH TO PROMOTE DAILY! PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Simcha Shopping Club is opening its doors to shoppers, small businesses, entrepreneurs, authors, publishers, artists, and independent sellers! BUSINESS OWNERS, THIS IS FOR YOU! For just $5 per month or $55 annually, you can: - Promote your business EVERY DAY! - Advertise products, services, books, magazines, classes, and special offers. - Share outside links to your Shopify store, Etsy shop, website, or other legitimate storefronts. - Connect with shoppers and fellow entrepreneurs. - Use your own payment processor! SHOPPERS JOIN FREE! Discover unique gifts, everyday essentials, products for people and pets, special offers, and businesses you may never have found otherwise. Why I Don't Allow Community Promotions Many communities that allow promotions are already saturated with advertisements to join other communities. As a result, products, services, and small businesses often get lost in the crowd. I have no clue what products many of you sell!! Simcha Shopping Club is different! My mission is to give entrepreneurs, independent sellers, and businesses a place where their products and services can actually be seen, noticed, and remembered. I welcome advertisements for physical products, digital products, books, magazines, courses, professional services, and online storefronts. What I don't allow: Advertisements recruiting members into other Skool communities, whether free or paid. Have you noticed how complicated shopping has become in some online communities? First, you have to join a community. Sometimes it's free. Sometimes there's a membership fee. Then you have to find the product you're interested in. Where is it? In the classroom! So you head to the classroom, only to discover that you might have to enroll in a class, sometimes free and sometimes paid, just to learn about the product or find out where to purchase it.

Welcome @Brandi Mangus Welcome to the group. Please intro yourself and tell us a little about yourself!

Daylight Saving Time: Your Dog Didn't Get the Memo, and Your Cat Wants to Speak to Management! And you have no clue what time it is. 😂 Well, folks, we turned our clocks back an hour yesterday. Apparently, nobody consulted our brains, our hormones, our dogs, or the cats who believe they own the household! - The dog: "Excuse me! It's breakfast time. I don't care what the microwave says!" - The cat: "I demand to speak to management. This disruption is unacceptable!" - The human: "Why am I wide awake at 3 a.m., and why do I want dinner at 4?" Sound familiar? 😂 But here's something fascinating. YOUR BODY DOESN'T OPERATE ON WALL CLOCKS! Humans and animals have internal biological clocks that regulate much more than sleep. These clocks are part of our circadian rhythm, a roughly 24-hour biological system influenced by light, darkness, feeding schedules, and daily routines. And when we suddenly change the time? Our bodies don't automatically follow! WHAT HAPPENS TO HUMANS? Even though we supposedly gained an hour of sleep, the transition can temporarily disrupt our internal timing. Here's what may happen: - Melatonin disruption: Melatonin helps regulate sleep and wake cycles. Changes in light exposure and bedtime routines can temporarily affect its timing. - Cortisol changes: Cortisol normally follows a daily rhythm, rising around waking and declining toward bedtime. Changes in sleep timing can temporarily influence that pattern. - Cardiovascular effects: Sleep disruption can influence blood pressure, heart rate, and autonomic nervous system activity. Research suggests the spring transition is generally more disruptive than the fall transition. - Metabolic changes: Circadian rhythms help regulate insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, appetite, and digestion. - Your gut has a clock, too! The gastrointestinal system and gut microbiome exhibit daily rhythms influenced by sleep, food timing, and light exposure. - Sleep disturbances: Some people experience early waking, daytime fatigue, irritability, or difficulty adjusting to the new schedule.
