I got layed off from my job. It inspires the change i needed. Its just my alignment rearranging in real time. Grief vents slowly over time. It can feel bad and also be the biggest blessing. My Original song I AM. It's universally true for me in every season. I am the reason that goodness still exists. And I'm not alone in that. https://youtu.be/wLDds8szHLQ?si=HSBNwOVb85BtQytT

In my opinion, being a leader means taking ownership. And I used to think I was really good at this... Until I realized how 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, rather than bringing us closer together. In the past, I used to speak in "you" centered language. 💔 “You need meetings too often." 💔 “You don't care enough.” 💔 "You're not showing up the right way." Feelings would be hurt, I'd be misunderstood, and we'd both get defensive. So nothing got resolved. Now, I try to 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝙢𝙚. ✅ “I’m feeling anxious because I don’t know what to expect.” ✅ “I’m realizing I need more clarity around timelines.” ✅ “I’m feeling disconnected, and I want us to get back on the same page.” Same situation. Same underlying issue. Completely different outcome. I’ve noticed this everywhere in my life: 💔 Instead of “𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦,” ✅ → “𝗜’𝗺 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂.” 💔 Instead of “𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘵,” ✅ → “𝗜’𝗺 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲.” 💔 Instead of “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴,” ✅ → “𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.” This shift did two big things for me: 1️⃣ It forced me to actually understand what 𝘐 was feeling instead of outsourcing blame. 2️⃣ It made it way easier for the other person to hear me without feeling attacked. Owning my experience doesn’t mean I never address hard things. It means I address them without making someone else the villain. And honestly? That one skill alone has upgraded my relationships, my leadership, and my inner peace more than almost anything else I’ve practiced. Curious if you’ve noticed this in your own life? Or if this is something you want to work on, too?

From 0 to 79 in 3 months and from 79 to 105 in 3 days! Found a pro in Facebook Ads and it skyrocketed the amount of signups for my community! More new members in 3 days than the entirety of Januari all together for a couple of bucks! If this keeps up I'm at 1000 in 90 days & I see no reason for it slowing down in fact, it's only gonna get better from here. Want to thank everyone here who supported me on the journey so far ❤️

We've done it, friend. We've reached one THOUSAND members!!! What a moment! This is hard to believe. And just one week before the 1-year anniversary of me creating the community (before I teamed up with Rex and renamed this group Focus Founders, it was called the ADHD Entrepreneur's Playground.) Shout out to @James Sopp for being our 1,000th member! And to @Sam Rathling for inviting him here! I've learned so much about community, about leadership, and about what I'm capable of as a person. All thanks to Skool. I've met so many incredible people and grown so much as both an entreprneur and a human being. Another massive milestone in the books. Now I want to get that Skool ⭐ back... I'd love to hear from you guys. What does Skool mean to you? How has Focus Founders impacted your journey? And what made you want to stick around? With so much love & gratitude... Your Avatar-Focused Founder, Bill
