If there's one thing I've learned in my over 12 years as an entrepreneur, it's that the most important part of your business is showing up. - Even when you don't feel like it - Even when things are hard - Even when everything feels like it's going wrong I've built five companies now, and every single time, there's always ebbs and flows. There are moments when things feel really great and aligned, and there are moments when everything feels hard, and it feels like I'm trudging through a swamp. No matter how hard I push, I don't get anywhere. But I kept showing up. And that's what got me across the finish line. That's not to say that you should build your business from a place of force, where you have to repeatedly do things you hate over and over again to achieve an outcome. I work hard, but I don't believe in "hustle culture" work 18 hours a day 7 days a week. That may work for some people, but it's not sustainable and it's honestly not even necessary. Work hard, yes, but also work smart and work with the way that your brain works. If you keep noticing that something isn't working, that's a sign that you're probably out of alignment, and it's time to change something. That doesn't necessarily mean it's time to change to a different business or give up on your dreams as an entrepreneur. It might just mean changing the methods and systems you're using to try and achieve the outcome. This is a lesson that Rex and I learned recently. We found that if we push and do a ton of outreach and do these big launches, we can achieve success. Followed by burnout. Lesson learned. Now we're working with a coach to help us build systems and new ways of doing business that enhance what we're already doing and make ourselves more effective. But I digress. The point of this whole post is this: 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴. As long as you don't give up, you will achieve your goals. Or you will find yourself hitting a different milestone you hadn't even thought of, that's better than what you hoped.

🎯 Goal: To make Focus Founders a top 1% Skool community and get the star emoji ⭐. ⭐⭐⭐MISSION ACCOMPLISHED⭐⭐⭐ ✨ Today’s Reflection: [What did you do today? How did it feel? Wins, struggles, lessons?] You guys... we are now Rank 21 in the "self-improvement" category and rank 137 WORLDWIDE. That means we are Rank 137 of ALL Skool communities! (There are over 180 thousand communities.) This is INSANE!!!! Do we do it...? Do we... push to get to the first page of Skool...? Get into the top 30 communities worldwide? Are we CRAZY enough to make that happen?! Might take us another month or two... hmm... Let me know what y'all think. Anyway, I posted a lot today: - Watched the awesome TED talk that @Jen Ritchie shared - Announced the winners of the 7-day leaderboard challenge - Shouted out some people who helped us get the STAR Worked too much today. Pretty much worked from 9:30 until now, with two one hour breaks sprinkled in. Yikers! I definitely get to be more intentional about working a bit less. I gave myself the excuse that I was pushing for the star before. Now I don't have that excuse. Also... October is ADHD Awareness Month!!!! What should we do to celebrate?! I think we'll have to do some kind of 30-day leaderboard challenge related to ADHD. Maybe make you guys buddy up. Maybe make people record themselves doing a cold plunge if they miss their commitments. Hmm.... Comment your ideas! ⏩ Next Step: [What’s the one thing you’ll focus on tomorrow to move forward?] Come up with a plan for ADHD Awareness month and what's next for Focus Founders! Also... wow you guys. September is over. The 30-day challenge has come to it's end! What a month it's been. Absolutely incredible.

I just want to say how grateful I am for this amazing community! Thanks to all of you, I don’t feel alone on this journey. These symptoms we share are actually our superpower.

This is a community that is focused on GIVING, in fact one of our rules is "no self promotion" in posts. Even though this rule fosters authentic connection, support, and vulnerability, it DOES make it a bit harder to figure out what each of us DO. 😛 So, this ONE TIME ONLY. I'm using the power invested in me of Co-Founder of Focus Founders to bend this rule a little muhahah... Don't tell @Bill Widmer ! This is your opprotunity to promote what you do, so we can form connections and find business synergies! A core phrase that many of our clients hear my say consistently is... "It's better together". And honestly, some of the most amazing collaborations in my life have come from some of the most unlikely places. ✨Synchronicities✨ You could meet your next client, co-founder, spouse, accountability partner, chef, coach, affiliate partner down below... So let it OUT! What is your offer? What's your mission statement? What transformation do you provide?!
