I’ve had a bit of a realisation this week and I’m curious how others handle this. I’m currently in 32 different Skool communities 😅 and even though a lot of them are valuable, I’m starting to notice how scattered my focus feels. There’s a lot of “engage more, add value, show up everywhere” advice, which I get, but for my ADHD brain it’s starting to feel pressured and misaligned. I’m building a membership community, starting a YouTube channel, trying to figure out ads and I really need deep focus time to actually learn all this stuff so I can build a solid foundation. Has anyone here intentionally cut down the number of communities or inputs they’re exposed to in order to protect their build time? Did it help or hinder your productivity? I'm thinking I'd love to cut back to maybe 5 groups that actually offer what I need at this time, but I guess I've got a bit of FOMO! Anyone else?

I'm curious how many others wake in the morning with concepts, or considerations which set up your ideas, or can dictate your day ? For example, when I woke this morning, my wife asked me if I slept well, to which I replied, "Yeah, pretty well, although I've woken up thinking about cutlery and neurodivergence" As usual, she kissed me good morning, smiled and replied, "Of course you have", but it was true. Part of the reason why I had been considering this, is that I'm often thinking about new ways to explain neurodivergence and neuroinclusivity to clients and connections. As I was lying there, I was feeling that the spoon was getting a rough deal. We often refer to laying the table as "putting the knives and forks out, but rarely does the spoon get a mention. Unlike the knife, which really only has one purpose, and whilst the fork can potentially have two to three reasons for existence, even though it does not have the uniform straightness of the other tools, the spoon can do both of their jobs, and often a lot more, therefore making it more efficient than the others. In addition to this, it's a lot more fun as it looks a little quirkier rolling around the table, you can sort of see your reflection in it like a cheap mini hall of mirrors, and unlike the other two, the best bit is that it can make other people smile when it hangs off your nose. Anyway, now you know what my wife has to deal with when things like this just pop into my head. I was just wondering if this was a common thing or just me?

I’m getting clearer on what’s actually been standing between me and making money doing what I love. It isn’t a lack of effort or ideas. It’s a pattern of fear, fear of rejection, fear of being seen as not enough. Today, the guidance I received in our Accelerator from @Bill Widmer , @Rex Loyer , and a fellow cohort member @Joe Bielling helped me see that pattern directly. I still don’t have the whole path mapped out. At the same time, I know what’s in the way, and that changes everything. It feels like I’m standing on the edge of something that could open the door to the life and work I’ve been moving toward. So here’s the shift I’m committing to... I’m finally willing to let myself be seen, take action with fear still present, stop waiting for confidence, ask for what I want without pre-rejecting myself, and move forward without needing the whole path to be clear. Today wasn’t about having all the answers. It was about recognizing the real obstacle and choosing to walk anyway. That feels like the beginning of a very different chapter. 🌱

This song always puts a tear to my eye.. I thought I'd share because someone might needed to hear this today.

Today was a beautiful reminder of what truly matters. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing if you’re doing it with the right people. People you resonate with, people you’re aligned with, people you can laugh and cry with. The kind of people who turn ordinary tasks into something warm and meaningful, who make time feel softer and effort feel lighter. Being around them reminds me that connection is the real point, that shared presence is what gives a day its color and shape. Even the simplest moments carry weight when they’re held in good company, and today felt rich and fulfilling 🥰
