Ever bookmark an educational youtube video with the intention to get back to it later when you have the time? You're learning new skills and abilities and you find a youtube video that looks promising... but... it's over an hour long and you are too busy to dedicate that time. As a mom of 4 small kids who runs a business, I feel this 100%. There's not enough time to homeschool the kids, keep everyone healthy and happy, bake fresh sourdough, do coaching calls, and work my own business while trying to learn the skills that are needed to grow. So, lately, i've been using AI to watch the videos for me and then give me the cliffnotes version and detailed instructions specified to my business and my brand. Here's what that looks like: Step 1: Find an educational video that I want to synthesize. Step 2: Go into the description, scroll down to where it says transcript, click on it. The transcript should come up on the side. Click and scroll to highlight and copy the entire transcript. Step 3: Go into Claude and say something like "I am trying to XYZ. I found this educational video about it. Please give me a thorough debriefing of what this video goes over. Break it down into terms that a beginner would understand. Then relay how we can use this information for my own business/brand. This is the transcript: (paste transcript)" Step 4: Read the briefing. That's it! Then, you get the run down of what was in the video, an explanation that you can understand, and how you can apply it to your own business. It is recommended to follow it up with a conversation. You can ask for any clarifications that you need to fully understand it. Ask it to build upon the concept by conducting market research on your specific niche and business model with psychological studies and actual case studies, etc. Go out there and start learning at 10x the speed of everyone else!

Crazy things are in the works. Someone I met at a conference is referring me to a business that was going to hire them. She doesn’t have bandwidth for it. The current scope is a $7.5k for phase 1(first 30 days) and the it would be $8.5k per month after that. Apparently money isn’t a limiting factor for them at all. I also have a potential client that would be a $7500 set up and $5500 per month after that. I have a sales call next week with someone for a $5k offer. When I close it all I will be at $20k this month… with $14k MRR. (The “when” instead of “if” is intentional) And that doesn’t even include the person I have a sales call with next week (it’s the second call with her) and it’s a $2k set up with $1.5k per month after that I have also sent 150 LinkedIn DMs in the last 36 hours. And I have a sales call scheduled from that with one more that replied wanting more info. (That would be for a $5k offer). So what is different? Why did this happen now? As cliche as it sounds it really was triggered by my decision to stop playing small, and start playing big. CHOOSING to present myself with confidence and talking to people instead of perpetually planning and learning. At least, that’s the way it’s been for me. Choose courage and confidence, my friends. Let’s DO this

Hey all! Today is my birthday! I'm becoming an old geezer, so I decided to use this time to have a sale! I'm offering 25% off all of my services and offers. So, if you've been eyeing working with me or joining any tiers, send me a DM and let me know what you want. I'll set it to 25% off long enough for you to purchase it. I'll be available until 3pm EST (after that, I am spending time with the fam, enjoying a tray of sushi, and eating delicious birthday cake)
