I’m so excited to be here! I’m Ashley — wife, fur mom to two dogs and one very spoiled cat 😂, and someone who would pretty much always rather be planning the next adventure. My husband and I love to travel, and we have our sights set on becoming full-time travelers in the next 6–9 months. Sell the house, hit the road, and see where God takes us. ❤️ I’m also one half of The Build Lab, which I created with my business partner and friend, @Judy Gudmestad — who’s in here too, so I’ll tag her! 👋 We met through the online business world after both spending a lot of time learning, taking courses, and promoting other people’s products. Eventually, we realized we wanted to take everything we’d learned and build something of our own. That’s where The Build Lab came from. It’s a community for women in the online business world who are ready to bring their ideas to the table, figure out what they want to create, get real feedback and support, and actually build the thing. Even if they’re starting with “I have no freaking clue what I want to build.” 😂 Our favorite phrase is “Look what God helped me build.” And that really sums up what we hope women eventually get to say about whatever they create. I’m excited to get to know everyone here, hear what you’re building, and make some new friends along the way. 💜 And if you want to come hang out with Judy and me in The Build Lab, you can find us here: https://www.skool.com/the-build-lab-2456/about?ref=dcf8fed82b4c49dc9d55ba0b1967050c⁠�

Soon and very soon.... you'll want to keep this one in your back pocket because as SOOOOOON as the judge issues the decree, chapter closed and on to the next adventure for real. You know how when you're young, the older wiser people tell you how important it is to take great care who you marry. I promise I did and he turned out to be a toad masquerading as a prince. 🤣😁 So what do these new adventures and shenanigans look like.... I have no idea. I'm currently working through that. I thought I had it "all figured out" after the past year and wellllll.... maybe not. Who have I been.... teacher, prison ministry recovery leader, choir member, over giving church member, traffic engineer for a now non-existent cell phone service provider (RIP Sprint PCS), a nanny, a JCPenney catalog operator and a University of Phoenix Online academic counselor. Favorite place to live... Phoenix Favorite place to be myself... beach on the the ocean Favorite food... Tex Mex Favorite travel destination... New Zealand Currently living tiny in a 40 foot long (maybe) tiny home in a community. Fun fact about me... I've traveled places by myself and moved myself cross country without knowing a soul in the new location multiple times. You could save I thrive on adventure. :D I'm the only person in my family living outside of the 75 mile radius of the rest of them. Just call me Moana! Country roots and city wings.

Hi all! I'm @Heather Boers, wife and mom of two up in Northern Wisconsin, wrangling 40 chickens, 8 quail, and one scruffy dog. I run 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹, a Skool community for business owners focused on visibility, promotion, networking, and events. My background's in coaching and NLP, and I love helping entrepreneurs get seen and connected. Outside of work, you'll find me boating, hunting for hidden gems in used bookstores, or sipping coffee slowly. Excited to be here and get to know you all!

I'm gonna tag a few more founding members in our Introduction post and then I'm headed to bed, but I just wanna say thank you to all of you who joined me tonight - not only by clicking the join button but also by showing up and chatting and introducing yourself and encouraging each other as we level up... Gamification isn't the be all, end all, but it is super fun to stay aware of and very soon we'll decide on what our levelling up rewards are gonna be!! For now, I'd like to celebrate all of our Levels because just being in the room is a fabulous first step and hanging out here is going to be an incredible blessing!!! Oh, the things we're gonna do! Level One: @David Blumberg @Jeanette Peterson @Karin Crawford @Kim Job @Nicki Palmer @Nicole Wright @Loralee Thiessen @Judy Gudmestad @Joyce Tyson @K Crystal Griffith @Lori Templeton @Hendra Niekerk @Keith Berg @Veronika Hübner @Christy Sanderson @Christa Lee Leffers Level Two: @Todd Thornton @Krista Bugg Level Three: @Faith Adebayo @Berenice Sanchez @Heather Boers @Ashley Welch Level Four: @Donna Thornton @Lisa Vanderveen Check out the intro posts, follow each other to stay connected all over Skool and be sure to comment & react so we all continue to level up together!!

But for today, it’s part of the PARTAY!!! @Heather Boers just reached level 2 in less than 30 minutes and honestly once we start having out here, that level is reached in no time flat! We have lots of Skoolers here but also a few new faces from FB, so I’m gonna be sharing a little bit of Skool basics for our complete newbies!! Levelling up will be unlocking doors very soon - we’re just in messy builder mode right now and I want to make sure the level up rewards are what we as a community decide are awesome rewards!! So for now, make sure you’re commenting and posting your intros and giving everybody little thumbs up for encouragement - every one of those things contributes to the points we earn. Thanks for jumping in with both feet Heather!!
