This the last thing imma say about the conference until Ashley comes back in SKOOL and starts initiating post… but there were so many lessons I picked up from what @Ashley Kirkwood DID in addition to what she said and her CONFIDENCE and approach to speaking and selling has pushed me to be BOLD. It reminded me of this portion of the DEEPEST FEAR POEM: “ … Your playing it small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are meant to shine … … as we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” Ma’am you have not only equipped us, you have emboldened us, challenged me to be more public and loud about serving others by selling them what I offer. That alone has been priceless and worth the admission. Thank you. ❓❓What are some intangibles that you picked up from the event that were said but that you noticed and have impacted you? Let’s encourage our fearless leader here! ❓❓ Like and then comment below:

It's been one week since I joined the mastermind and I am in a totally different business solar system. I believe I can win, I believe I can have a 6 and then 7 figure business in rapid speed. I have tools and community! This synergistic fire we all keep lit, together, is EVERYTHING 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥 WE ARE THE ANSWER!!!!

I’m down to my last three days of this vacation and I’m so proud of myself for taking this because often times I would just push push push, but I’m older and wiser now… One thing I’ve learned from how Jesus led — He would pour into the masses, then retreat to pray. His strength wasn’t in constant motion but in divine rhythm. I’ve had to reevaluate my relationship with momentum. It’s not just go, go, go. True momentum is knowing when to pause, pray, and recharge — while allowing what you’ve built to keep moving. My daily prayer is simple: “Lord, don’t let any of this go to my head. Keep my heart grounded in what matters most — faith, family, and the mission.” In this season, retreating has been my secret weapon. I’m not chasing goals — I’m becoming. I’m not rushing — I’m flowing. I work when it’s time to work, and I rest when it’s time to rest. That’s growth. That’s obedience. Dear ambitious woman, hear me: rest, sis. You don’t have to prove your power through exhaustion. Even if things drop, God will catch what’s meant for you. “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” — Luke 5:16 (NIV)

I want to be able to complete my offer and close the deal. I have potential clients but cannot close the deal. I want to network with others to learn how to best utilize the system. I also want to grow stronger in confidence with obtaining personal clients. I have a lot to offer and want to learn how to monetize while empowering individuals and businesses to reset and and use the power within to learn to live the life or run a business they always expected for themselves.

When I started my Shopify clothing store, I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I wanted to create something online that could grow into a real business. My first challenge wasn’t picking products it was believing I could actually pull this off. Looking back, I realize the hardest part was just taking that first step. For anyone here starting out, what was YOUR first step into online business?
