💅✨ Here’s the truth I had to grow into: I love money. And money loves me right back. Wowza. And yes, I used to feel weird saying that out loud. There was shame wrapped around it, like a little too much spandex in those leggings. Because I've been in those hard seasons where you're choosing one bill over another, but I moved from foreclosure to seven figures when I figured out this whole ViP situation. Money is meant to flow. It moves. It circulates. I make money. I spend money. I invest money. And every single damn investment I make comes back tenfold. In all the ways: wisdom, opportunity, relationships, and, yes… dollars, too. These first six months on Skool have absolutely been a build-and-invest season for me. Not the “sit back and coast” season. I still try to keep my client work to 3 days a week. But I legit spend some long days on these screens, typing my heart out. And my very tattered vision board has been getting more layers of Mod Podge and magazine tear-outs, because I just keep upleveling. I have this rule: "Live in your vision until it becomes your reality." My vision board has created things for my family that younger me could barely imagine. It allowed me to: • Care for my parents 24/7 across pancreatic cancer and catastrophic strokes • Give my kids incredible private educations debt-free • Walk into a restaurant and tip 100% (without doing math gymnastics in my head; my brother calls me the last of the red hot tippers, but it's the coolest thing to gift a server) None of this came without the hard seasons in between. This time of year kicks it up a bit for me. It's tax time, but I know this: those tax bills are proof of something powerful. They’re the receipt for a business that takes care of my family. AND this business lets me put money back into it. So when I invest in VIP-level communities, mentorship, or rooms where powerful conversations are happening, I treat that money like the VIP it is. And here’s the juicy little secret most people forget:

Aloha, Hawaii Heather here! I spent 20 years in military intelligence (yes, the real deal with TS/SCI clearance, counterintelligence work across Germany and Italy and the US), so breaking down complex problems into clear action steps? That's literally what I was trained to do. Now I help non-tech entrepreneurs use AI to push the easy button on stuff no overwhelm or tech jargon. What I'm about: - Making AI practical and profitable (not just cool party tricks- but I love me a cool trick so it’s not off the table!) - My signature approach – progress over perfection, I’m sure someone has registered that, so hoping I don’t get sued lol! - Straight talk with a little New York edge when you need it, and yes there is an invisible “w” in coffee, dog and ball! - Real implementations: automation, custom chatbots, and AI systems that actually move the ROI… cause who cares about needles! Well I am sure there is a long list but that’s for another post! 🌺 From the Aloha you might have guessed I’m currently based in Hawaii with my sidekick Coco (2nd best dog ever). Let's connect: Follow me here to get bite-sized AI strategies, real talk about what's working in business automation, and the occasional Alice in Wonderland reference (because why not make this journey a little whimsical?). 💬 Drop a comment and tell me what AI challenge you're tackling right now. 🔗 Want to go deeper?

What a great session this morning! We talked about: - the role of courses in your Skool community, - why people might not be visiting your classroom, - what makes a successful course, - strategies for monetizing your group, and - questions you can ask yourself to determine if there is room for improvement in your course or community! The entire session was about 50 minutes long with 30 minutes of questions/discussion at the end. This replay is now only available inside my other community the "Your Best Course" Build Lab. You can get access for only $12/year. As part of this training, I am also offering a one-hour 1:1 Classroom Clarity Call for anyone who is interested in having an expert educator review their classroom/community and help you strategize best next steps for your classroom content. If you are interested, you can check it out here! 😊

I’ve been working behind the scenes on something new for the Classifieds, and I’m genuinely excited to finally share it. Over time, it’s become clear that some members are ready for more than visibility alone. You want deeper collaboration, stronger relationships, and real opportunities to grow alongside other committed Skool community owners. That’s why I’m opening applications for a VIP Tier of the Classifieds, designed for members who want to be more actively involved in collaboration, cross-promotion, and shared problem-solving, not just posting and hoping for the best. 𝗔𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽. This is a small, curated peer group (limited to 10–15 people) for Skool community owners who are ready to: - Increase visibility in intentional, aligned ways - Collaborate and cross-promote with other group owners - Learn from real, lived experience (what’s actually working, not theory) - Solve problems together and build momentum as a group This is not a coaching program or a traditional mastermind, it's a facilitated, peer-based environment where contribution, participation, and follow-through matter. What’s Included in the VIP Tier? In addition to access to the Collaboration Action Group, VIP members receive: - 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗲 - Especially helpful for owners with more than one community or offer. - 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵- A consistent opportunity to teach, share your expertise, and be discovered by new people. - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽-𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 - A great way to increase visibility, awareness, and authority by leading connection and conversation in the group. - 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - VIP members may be invited to be interviewed on a new YouTube channel I’m launching, building on my experience hosting a top-rated podcast. The purpose is to highlight Skool community creators who are building something meaningful and are open to sharing what they’ve learned along the way.
