Man, yesterday was a really productive day for me - in the real world. We finally got the electrical worked out so the fan we installed several weeks ago thinking we would "just" hook the Romex (the wiring) from the fan through the ceiling of our 125 year old house right across the floor of the attic and then drop it down the wall to the outlet ... Have you ever done any home improvement project where it was just like you expected it to be and took you 20 minutes? To begin with apparently there is a second floor in the attic which one accesses through a small hole in the closet of my bedroom which is part of the 3rd addition to the house. Once you go through the hole you have to squeeze through another section and then there is the actual roof off the original house - that's as much as I can see from the opening of the hole cause there is no way in hell I'm going through that hole... My husband and one of my sons ran the wire a full weekend project in itself - the next weekend was just getting the fan attached to the ceiling. This weekend for rewiring the porch light so that we could get power to the switch and be able to run the fan - and it will be another weekend when I will work on putting the dry wall back over the space. I did get a new porch light out of the deal too and am really happy with it. Today I'm going to take it easy - I slept in as long as the dogs would let me - my husband got up first which never happens and they were all confused. Did you have a productive Saturday too or did you get to hang out and relax? 🌼🪴🍁🌴🪴🍁🌼 This week is going to be jam packed: Monday is the VIP Mastermind 3pm mtn - we are working through the Client Attraction Masterclass - a course designed to facilitate the setting up of/restructuring of your business so that it is designed to attract clients systematically. You can learn more about that here: #Introduction Monday the Soulful Marketing Magic Summit kicks off here

How did we reach the end of July? It's rodeo weekend round here - which means more fireworks - feels like we have fireworks and parades in this town every weekend in July - next month will be the fair and then life will settle down for fall. (my very favorite season). Yesterday's Mastermind was all about notes and it was so great to have so many of you join live! Highlights? 📝 Post Notes daily. (Three per day is the sweet spot, but one consistently is far better than none. Use the scheduler so you never miss a day.) 💬 Spend at least as much time commenting as posting. Meaningful conversations are what make Notes work. 🌎 Don't stay inside our community. Support each other, then intentionally branch out into conversations happening across Substack. ❤️ Leave comments that add something to the discussion rather than simply saying "Great post!" The goal is to become memorable. 🤝 Build relationships before trying to build subscribers. Subscribers are the byproduct of genuine connection. 🔄 Return to older Notes and continue conversations. A new comment can bring an older Note back into circulation. 📚 Engage with articles and Chats, not just Notes. Every interaction increases your visibility. 🎯 Think of Notes as networking, not broadcasting. You're joining conversations, not posting advertisements. 🚪Use your Notes to open the door to your publication rather than trying to sell directly in the Note itself. 📈 Consistency beats occasional bursts of activity. Showing up every day compounds over time. 💜 Your personality is your advantage. People subscribe because of the person behind the publication as much as the content itself. Catch the replay w/transcript here 🌱 ✨ 💜 🤝 📝 💬 🚀 ☕ 🌿 Tuesday we'll be doing the Substack Setup Intensive LIVE again - we begin at 10am mtn #🎯START HERE to join us.

I'm up early today to welcome the full moon - Thanks @Tracy Nicholas for your cool ritual tool you created over in your community Awaken Your Magic - I know different people have different ideas about magic - however in my world view magic exists around all day, every day and though we can ascribe it to a deity, many deities or no deities it doesn't mitigate its impact in our lives. To me, magic is simply things that happen that we aren't yet able to explain scientifically. But just because we can't explain it doesn't mean we can't enjoy it and be grateful for it. I love this time of the day, when it's quiet and dark and I can enjoy the moon in whatever phase it's in. Tracy goes live on Substack on Thursdays at noon mtn - pop on in and join us! This week's focus is creating sacred spaces - her perspective I suspect will surprise you. (well maybe not if you've been following her notes this week!) ✨🌿🪶🕊️🪶🌿✨ Today is the Monetize Your Mission Mastermind - I've been looking forward to this one for a while now. We're going to be discussing Notes over on Substack. Best strategies - celebrating some successes like at @Soph Newman 's note that's gone viral - 17k likes and 1.2K restack so far and 398 comments!! You can check it out here It was not that long ago she decided she already had 10,000 subscribers (I think she had less than 100 at the time) and in just a short while is now pushing 600. THAT is the power of notes. We will be breaking down her note and why I think it's so effective. And we'll be talking about strategies to get your notes to get shared in a way that grows your reach.

Slept late for me (6:30), there was rain last night and it feels like a Sunday morning for some reason though it is definitely Wednesday. Maybe it's the full moon influence?🤷‍♀️ We will be gathering at 1pm mtn for the Q&A/Social Hour here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82141442688?pwd=xJ9W2bYfTXnBptWKuoOgEH4P2enq6p.1 😊🕊️🪶🐝✨🧩 🕊️🪶🐝✨😊 I done a few summits this year. And said no to several others - I said yes to this one. Here's the difference. Most online summits are pitch-fests wearing a name tag. Fifty speakers, fifty sales pages, and a "free ticket" that costs you your whole inbox. The Soulful Marketing Magic Summit is the other thing. 40+ speakers who believe marketing works better when it treats people like people. Real strategy on copy, offers, visibility, AI, and community growth. Eight days, August 3 to 10, completely free. I'm speaking too: Before You Grow Your Audience available in the classroom starting August 3rd💛 Your ticket is simply joining The Kind Copy Movement, the free community where the whole event happens. One click, seat saved. Save my free seat (The non-bro marketing community for coaches, creators & Skool owners. Connect with real people who know marketing can be effective AND human. 💛) 😊🕊️🪶🐝✨🧩 🕊️🪶🐝✨😊 Thursday, we have the Monetize Your Mission Mastermind happening (can you believe that's tomorrow already?) All about Notes & Chat for growing your audience on Substack. If you're looking for the key 🔑 to exploding growth on Substack you're going to want to be here for this one. 2pm mtn - mark your calendar here

Got my first $12 tomato harvested and the second one is working on getting ripe... Usually, I only plant 1 or 2 tomato plants and I buy them as starts in the spring - baby them in the house until the threat of frost diminishes (though can I tell you how many years we've had bad frost in the middle of JUNE! - this year it killed ALL of my fruit tree blossoms - well except the plum tree - I will get plums) So, I figure the cost of my tomatoes is generally pretty high - though it is worth it to me as there is nothing in my world that is quite as delicious as a fresh homegrown tomato. Warm from the vine. Raspberries are doing well and I've got baby grapes on the vine out front I planted a couple years ago. This is the first time I've planted a grape vine and had it "take" so pretty excited about that. Love to hear what's growing in your yard... 🍄🫜🪻🍊🪻🫜🍄 Next Tuesday is going to be a busy day round here (the 4th of August) Not only are we doing the Substack Setup Intensive live at 10am Mtn but we are also joining Adam McCoullough of the Start a Business with no money community and maybe Heather Boers of the Directory community to do a Skool Community Profit Path Finder Hot Seat Workshop. We will be going through the Skool Community Profit Path Finder Assessment tool and will be looking at the fastest things one can do to monetize their community. And I'll be sharing about the tools John from the Leverage Lab has created to discover where your community might be leaking revenue.
