Any bookworms in the house? What are you reading right now? I'm finishing up "Start With No" by Jim Camp. What about you?

Yes...what can you teach? I'm stealing this idea from @John Bejakovic and his Skool community, Daily Email House. For one, because I'm lazy. Two, because it's a fantastic idea. The idea I posted inside John's original thread got the most traction out of dozens, even though I ALWAYS downplay how awesome of an idea it is: Building a list of customers with a lazy ad funnel. In the spirit of laziness, and to give credit where credit is due, here's John's post...not copy-pasted, but rewritten juuuuuust enough that I can claim it as my own: ### What can you teach? What's something you can put a presentation about for people inside Funny Money? WHY would you want to put on a presentation for us? Here are a few reasons: 1. You can float an idea here to see if there's any interest (and no one will make fun of you, or I'll ban them) 2. If there IS interest, you can get my feedback, input, and help into organizing your presentation, or even organizing it into a PRODUCT! 3. If you do give your presentation, you can use feedback from the group to polish and improve what you're teaching, so you can then turn it into a paid offer or lead magnet to grow your own audience. 4. You can get ready testimonials or even case studies from people here, without jumping headfirst into running an ad funnel from scratch. 5. If you do end up making a presentation...and it's awesome...and I think my email list would benefit from using your offer...I may promote it to them and share the profits with you. Again, a source of "free" customers to seed your fledgling business. 6. Maybe by teaching something valuable yourself, you encourage others inside Funny Money to teach something valuable as well, which ends up benefiting you and everyone else down the line. (and especially benefiting ME. Who wouldn't want that?) So...can you teach? Comment below with your ideas. Brain dump 5 things you could teach below, or just post a couple of your favorites. Even if they seem wild, bizarre, completely nuts...there are no wrong answers.

Anyone using a tool or software for your business you truly consider indispensable? Doesn't have to be revolutionary or bleeding-edge AI tech, just something you'd be lost without. Let's hear 'em...

A lot of you have been asking about Upwork specifically, and while this group is not about 'how to win clients on Upwork,' I think there IS a place in this world for Upwork discussion that isn't the hive of negativity formerly known as Reddit. So...here you go! Have at it. What's working for you right now? What isn't?

Be honest, are you? Last year after my daughter was born in November, I remember it was BRUTAL trying to get anything going with new clients. Then in January, it was like someone turned the 💡 back on. My main client right now has a big dip every year in December too, even though there's REALLY no reason for this industry to have seasonality. It's not like we're installing pools or something. Me personally? I'm doubling down while everyone else is half asleep. I have products to finish, a new outreach system to test, an email list and a group to build... I'd rather be a month ahead than a month behind once January hits. What about you? 🤔 Do you consider December 'lost,' or do you double-down while everyone else slacks off?
