If you want some real feedback from ChatGPT (or your other fav LLM), try this prompt! Share your sales page or record your sales pitch in 90s and upload with this prompt. Fair warning - it can be BRUTAL. Good, honest, fair, sound advice… but brutal lol. PROMPT: Pretend you're a skeptical investor who's heard 1,000 pitches. I have 90 seconds to make you want to hear more about my [OFFER]. After I pitch, you will: 1. Point out every vague phrase I used 2. Ask the ONE question that exposes the biggest hole in my thinking 3. Tell me which part made you check your phone (lost interest or did not understand) 4. Make me re-pitch with 50% fewer words Grill me on: Who exactly am I serving, and why would they choose to pay me instead of using a free or cheaper option? What transformation am I promising — the tangible before → after result, not just features or tools? What gives my offer staying power — what prevents others from copying it easily? What are the real reasons customers leave, don’t buy, or fail to get results? What truth about my business model am I avoiding, denying, or overlooking? Keep making me re-pitch until it's so clear and compelling you'd actually want to learn more. No mercy. No politeness. Just brutal clarity.

First, an update: I got accepted into the bundle (School Rocks by Cat Griffin)! It's going to run from February 1-10 and is for parents, teachers, and those in the homeschool space. I'm offering 36 alternative activities for students who don't earn Fun Friday. ("Fun Friday" is a catchall term for a Friday reward activity or event a class earns through good behavior during the week.) My email sequence will (1) deliver the thing and explain how to use it, (2) tease my Fun Friday reward system and show how the Alternative Activities will help student behavior improve, (3) give my 36 Fun Friday Activities lead magnet, and (4) share the benefits of my full Fun Friday behavior system and invite people to a free webinar. If they accept, they'll attend a short (30-45-minute) webinar that gives a deeper overview of the behavior system, why it works, and a teaser on how to set it up. (Making it free is deliberate: I'm still new, so I have exactly 0 social proof / testimonials; and teachers tend to be low-trust and unwilling to spend money unless something is really REALLY valuable.) At the end of the webinar will be a pitch for a low-ticket mini-course. It will be 3-4 modules (I reserve the right to adjust this as I build it) hosted through Teachery on exactly how to set up the behavior system, use it, adjust it, and implement it with your class. It will cost $17 (less than a half tank of gas!), but if teachers use the system and let me ask them feedback questions for testimonials, I'll refund the entire price. My main goal is to get people onto my list and to gain visibility...which is way harder than I thought with an audience of teachers! I'm hoping that this will get me some social proof so that I can eventually raise prices and get more conversions. Thoughts? Feedback? Mindless flattery? 😉

Every Monday, I like to do a bit of a reset before digging into my week and ask myself 4 main questions. First, I look at what I set out to accomplish last week, and ask myself 2 questions: 1. What did I accomplish that I can celebrate? 2. What didn't I accomplish and WHY NOT. (Side note: I try to make sure I come at this from a place of curiosity, not being hard on myself. There are a number of reasons why we don't accomplish our goals - they're no longer aligned, we prioritized something else, we were overly ambitious with our to-do list 😜... but we can learn a LOT about what we need to focus on when we get curious.) And second, I look at the upcoming week: 1. What are my non-negotiables (specific deadlines, appointments, etc.) 2. What do I want to accomplish in addition to my non-negotiables? From there, I can reverse engineer my goals to figure out the specific tasks and where each should live in my week. Now, this may sound like a big process, but in reality, it takes just a few minutes, often while lying in bed before the kiddos get up. Just some gentle awareness and intentionality. 👉 Sooooo..... what does your Monday reset look like? What can we celebrate with you? And what are you focusing on this week? 🔥

We all hear that “to be successful, you need to know where you’re going.” And yes… true. But also - that question can feel impossible to answer when you’re just craving ANY win, any forward movement, any sign that what you’re building is working. And when you don’t have your own definition, it becomes way too easy to start chasing someone else’s. Their numbers. Their lifestyle. Their way of building. Their goals. And then you wonder why you still don’t feel happy even when things are working. 🤷‍♀️ Success is personal. Deeply personal. It’s tied to your season of life, your energy, your values, and what you actually want your days to look like. So if defining success feels murky right now, try flipping the question: What is NOT success for me? What absolutely does NOT fit the life I want? For me, “not success” looks like: • Live monthly launches • Feast/famine income cycles • Working 8-hour days • A calendar filled with nonstop calls • Managing a big team or office Once I’m honest about what I’m not building, it becomes so much easier to see what I am building — and what kind of success will actually feel good and sustainable. So I’m curious… What does NOT SUCCEES look like for you right now?

If you've poked around in the Classroom at all this week, you may have noticed I've been making some changes! I've introduced 5 core pillars that are the foundation of this group, and each training/resource will correlate to one of the pillars. The goal here is to help you identify where you need to focus to make the most progress possible in building a business and life you love. 😊 Here's a short video I did for the About page, walking through the pillars!
