There is someone in your niche. You know the one. The person posting screenshots of $30,000 months. The person getting hundreds of comments on every post. The person who seems to launch something new every week and somehow people just buy it. The person who makes it all look easy. And there you are. Trying to figure out why your latest post got 12 views. Wondering if anyone is even paying attention. Refreshing your notifications more often than you'd like to admit. Looking at their results and thinking maybe they got a manual you never received. Maybe everyone else understands something you don't. Maybe you're missing some secret piece of the puzzle. I've felt that way more times than I can count. For a long time, I thought those comparisons meant I wasn't doing enough. Not working hard enough. Not smart enough. Not consistent enough. But here's what I think now. Nothing is wrong with you. What's happening is that you're comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel. You're measuring your first few chapters against someone else's chapter twenty. You don't know how long they've been doing this. You don't know how many failed offers came before the successful one. You don't know how many posts nobody saw. You don't know how many times they wanted to quit. And you definitely don't know what it cost them to get there. The comparison never tells you the whole story. It only shows you the gap. What actually matters is your own progress. Are you learning? Are you showing up? Do you understand more today than you did three months ago? Are you building skills that nobody can take away from you? Those are the questions worth asking. Because someone else's $30,000 month doesn't mean you're failing. It simply means they're on a different part of the journey. Stay focused on your lane. Keep learning. Keep posting. Keep improving. The people you're comparing yourself to were beginners once too. And one day, someone will be looking at your progress and wondering how you made it look so easy. 💙

One of our members, @Karina Sharp , shared something this week that really resonated with me. As I was reading her post, I found myself nodding along because I've been there too... and if I'm honest, there are still days when I feel like I'm there. She talked about something that doesn't get discussed enough: "𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫." 😐 I hear people all the time talking about buying their product & grabbing the affiliate link & promoting it for XYZ%.... My thing is.. who to? Who do I promote it to when I only have 200 followers & we know actually only 10% of those people will see it & of those 10% who actually trusts you enough to buy from you? 🤔 I've been racking my brain to try grasp this concept or is it their strategy? I know there will be the random buyer that just happened to be looking for something at that exact moment & buys from you 🥳 but is that enough to keep a beginner's hopes up enough to keep going? It's like the bathtub effect.. positive - negative - positive. You get a random sale, then nothing for weeks, then you buy another course (thing) to try fix what didn't work from the first thing you bought & you're off on a high till the next slump. .. anyway.. my point is.. as I get closer to 5k (& above) followers, the engagement has been crazy, like I can't physically reply to everyone like I have been. So, all the stressing about finding people has been in vain. I don't think anyone has actually said - IT WILL TAKE YOU 6 MONTHS TO GET ROLLING. So for the first 6 months just grow your page, grow your thing, don't worry about making, selling, all the things.. don't stress about it! Now, I have asked some skool owners directly how long it's taken them to get to 5k followers & when they honestly started making consistent sales. Some are very happy to tell me & some not so happy.🤨 I am also aware that there are some people that just get lucky so sure, its not a one size fits all. I just wish when I started my journey someone said to me : Karina, don't get to excited about making money, having a business plan or retiring for at least 6months. Geez it may have saved a few melt downs & moments of closing my laptop for good, screaming this isn't for me? Because now that i'm nearly 6 months in & finally getting people, people on my pages engaging, communicating with me & asking questions, like i'm an expert.. I can see the picture. Still have a long way to go because I have nothing to offer.. but I can see something!

Jenelle asked me to share a little about my journey and what I'm building — and honestly I'm honoured because this community is where it all started for me. Jenelle was one of the very first people who helped me find my feet when I stumbled into this online world completely lost. 🤍 So here's my honest story. 👇 I'm Suzie. 52 year old Australian tradeswoman. I run a building and renovation business with my husband by day. Mum of three. Nanna to twin boys. About 12 months ago my husband's health took a serious turn. Out of nowhere. And suddenly everything we had built our whole lives — built on two physical bodies showing up every single day — felt incredibly fragile. The thought of losing everything and what would become of us if we couldn't work. That fear is real. And honestly it still sits with me every single day and it's bloody scary.😔 So I started building something online. Not because I had it all figured out. Not because I had spare time — because between long days on the tools and hospital visits there is no spare time. But because I was scared. And scared people find a way. 💪 I am actually coming up to my 6 month mark in this world of learning and building. I know others can build this a lot faster than me. But when you're coming home from 8 to 10 hour days on the tools — I am genuinely proud of how far I have come. Because I'm not just building. I'm learning it all at the same time. Every single day. From scratch. 💪 I built a free Skool community called Work Boots to WiFi with Suzie — for people over 40 reinventing themselves online with no tech skills, no experience and no idea where to start. Why, because I want other's in my position to have some where to start. And I want to be honest — I haven't made a lot of money yet, as I've been busy building the founations. This is real life not a highlight reel. But what I HAVE built is trust. Real trust. With real people.
