🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ll go first! My favorite way to get leads is through Zoom webinars — I provide value live, then capture people’s email + phone number when they register. I love webinars because they let me: ✨ Sell 1:many ✨ Build trust fast ✨ Provide real value upfront ✨ Retarget warm leads afterward ✨ Sharpen my selling + communication skills I honestly feed off the energy — it’s so much fun hosting them. One of my favorite strategies is getting paid sponsors for webinars, so I can pour everything into the experience even if nobody buys a thing. Total win-win: the audience gets value, sponsors get exposure, and I build my pipeline. 🚀 🔥 PS: I actually have a webinar on high-converting webinars! I'll put that in our SKOOL programming this quarter if you guys are interested! Your turn — what’s the #1 way you’re getting leads right now? 👇

Dan Henry’s Circle of Focus is a simple reminder: Growth comes from focusing on what you can control — not what you can’t. Think of your life/business as two zones: ✅ Inside the Circle = Control - Content & consistency - Outreach & relationships - Your offer & execution - Skill-building & mindset These are things you directly influence through action. ❌ Outside the Circle = No Control - Algorithms, competitors, opinions, timing, validation These are things you can react to, worry about, complain about… but not control. Your success is largely determined by how much time you spend inside vs. outside the circle. 🎯 Monday Circle of Focus Reset 🎯 1️⃣ Spot the Distraction What’s stressing you out that’s outside your control ? 2️⃣ Flip It Into Action Algorithm stress → Post more + sharpen your hooks Slow sales → increase outreach + follow-ups Comparison → Refine your offer + stay in your lane 3️⃣ Take your action and make it specific + measurable 👉 What’s ONE thing inside your Circle of Focus you’re committing to execute this week? 💥 🚀 Share your reset below!

What's your take in this YAP family? As you read it note, everyone's at different levels as Hala talks about - 3 different levels so read this noting the level you're on and season you're in. So I’ve hired VA’s or “off shore staff” for years, mainly from Upwork. These professionals work well, but I know I needed something else. So I hired a chief of staff or operations manager. She happens to be US based. Her rate is not $10 an hour or etc, but more like $50 or more per hour. Yes, it’s an investment and worth every penny. A virtual assistant by nature of their rate and often that English (or the mother tongue of your country) might not be their primary language of comfort. Nor their experience in business operations (the most important thing) - is often a hinderance. They don’t have that experience. Doing “tasks” is great. Editing video, inputting records, prompting AI, emailing 100 clients, etc ,etc However, a “Chief of Staff” or “Operations Manager” has the maturity and experience to not just do “tasks” but understand the business goals, the entrepreneur’s needs and create their own tasks that get projects done, with minimal supervision or none at all. A good operations manager is on YOUR back about getting things done. They know the vision and mission of the company and are able to “lock in” with you to move projects forward week to week. In fact they can manage you VAs. Yes hire virtual assistants* but also hire a great operations manager or chief of staff. *Side note - give your VA’s titles - like “Video editor”, “Blogger”, “Customer service manager” etc.

This 2-part series was prob the most underrated episodes of 2025 IMO. Dan Henry absolutely SMASHED it! This is a must-listen for anyone who is building a creator-led business. Part 1: We go deep on how to build a personal brand that sells, attract dream clients, and create what Dan calls “velocity vehicles” — systems that make success faster and easier instead of harder. Another gem was Dan’s Circle of Focus concept. Instead of chasing shiny objects, give 100% to one thing until you master or delegate it.

Dan breaks down why people don’t buy because of logic — they buy because of belief.

I am creating a children’s book for my 5-year-old grandson, who is on the autism spectrum—and for all children with autism. This journey has not been easy. Creating this book takes time, money, patience, and many uploads through Amazon KDP before everything is right. The illustrations alone cover 27 pages, and each detail matters. But this project comes from love, purpose, and belief. Just last week, I published Faith Beyond Labels, and I’m currently waiting for the proof copy to see if any final adjustments are needed. Before this, my first published book was Warrior Lessons: Warrior Mindset, where I shared a short but deeply personal story from my experience during the Sarajevo War (1992–1996). That book focuses on mindset—turning life lessons into strength and encouraging readers to create their own personal journal and path forward. Every book I write has a purpose. This one is for understanding, compassion, and seeing the world through a child’s eyes. Thank you to everyone who supports this journey. 🙏
