Hey guys, Here are the two resources from the lead magnet workshop. 1. Deck on quick overview for the major types of lead magnets (72 of them) - LINK 2. Access to a free tool that will give you a prompt for whatever lead magnet you want to build - LINK

Who can believe how fast this year is going…? Time continues to march on, my friends. There have been some pretty exciting moments for the community over the last quarter. We’ve had seen some new faces ( @Tyler Carr , @Alistair Gordon ) and seen the return of some old ones ( @Michael Heckmeier , @Armando Montealegre , @Demetrios Venetis and others). We’ve done AI workshops, countless coffee hours, and stayed super consistent with our weekly planning sessions. We’ve seen the deployment of an end-to-end strategy execution system (Taskmaster) and a content marketing system (Media Machine) that collapsed the labor required for those functional areas down to a 1/10th of what it used to take. Unreal but true. We’re definitely still a ways out from our stated goal at Venture Map, to deliver the world’s premier self-optimizing enterprise platform — but we’ve made solid progress and our roadmap has me feeling seriously optimistic. Now here’s the thing. For the very few of you who have been here for a while, you know that this Skool community constitutes a type of sandbox for me. A forum for experimentation and **hopefully** market-driven product development. That being said, I believe the purposes of this community would be best served by going through another stage of evolution. You may have seen my “$1000 gift” post a little while back… It was an experiment to gauge our current level of engagement / resonance with the group. To say the response to that post was underwhelming would be an understatement. But more than that, it’s a signal for change. One, among many others, that’s shown me the importance of iterating my approach to growing this group in a direction that genuinely resonates with a specific audience and is of great service to them. Right now, I can’t say that I’ve been successful at that.

Hey everybody, great seeing you all on the call today. Looks like we're going to do a different format for next Friday's call. Where we will run a focused deep dive workshop on how to use AI within a specific application in our business. Your vote matters, and it will directly shape what we focus on next Friday. I’ve included a few options below that were crowd-sourced from the group. Please vote on which topic you’d like us to address next Friday, or share a comment below with your thoughts on what you think we should tackle in our time together!

To all the Americans in this community, sending you joyous blessings on the 250th anniversary of your independence 🇺🇸🤩 @Logan Skees @Demetrios Venetis @Armando Montealegre @Chris Kirby @

Almost unbelievably, I still have not updated the social sharing badge from task master. (Overlapping text, blatantly AI slop design / layout, wrong URL lol). But I am sharing this for another reason besides opportunity for self deprecating humor. A little while back I made the leap from my favorite task management tools (Trello + Sunsama) to go “all in” on what I had been building a while to replace them. It’s the tool. I wish I had as a COO all these years. I had one foot in one foot out for a while personally. Tinkering with what had become a beastly “vibe coded” project riddled with bugs, I kept my own personal task management in the tools I had relied on throughout my career. Actually using Task Master myself was a “someday” thing. I realized at a certain point how important it was for me to “dog food” the tool however. It just would have to be a lot earlier than I originally thought. So for a while now, I’ve been using it every day. Many streaks have been lost to bugs. Many streaks have been broken from me not having the willpower to face the brokenness of the app again. It’s been a long journey of a steep learning curve and consistent adaptation in pursuit of my ultimate vision — a portfolio management platform that enables self optimizing enterprises. Because of that - this 19 day streak is uniquely special to me. Because it marks the first time I’ve consistently enjoyed using the app for a while. It’s “working”. There’s a long road ahead still but we’ve made it pretty far. If you’re looking for a better way to stay organized and productive as a solopreneur - you’re welcome to give task master a try. Beta testing is open to community members. Drop a comment below and we’ll schedule your onboarding call. Special thanks to @Lin Kayton @Dan Huerter and Armando for the support Alpha Testing.
