But will learn from it. Too many last minute cancellations or just not turning up. As if my time is not valuable. Solution: 1) In future I will be more selective about who I say yes to having a call with. 2) All will be done through email and I will ask for confirmation the day before. No confirmation. No meeting. Is there a number 3?

Just tried out some of the things that we did in the sales call yesterday, did miss out the magic question even though I had it written down and and I did the how important is it for you towards the end. May still have talked a little bit too much - 48% her, 52 me. Will work on that. Overall, it felt good. She said it felt right, but did still say she wanted to talk to her husband. She took a screenshot of my 'how it works page' to show him, so that feels positive and she's going to let me know tomorrow. This obviously needs practice ..but doing it with empathy is so much more comfortable. Things to improve - structure - mirroring.

Hey guys, For anyone interested, here's the algo report discussed in Office Hours. Plus a Hooks GPT and Algo GPT given live in the session. I prompted the Algo one on how we can potentially use it, if you're curious. I'll be testing #9 this weekend. Here's what it shared after I prompted: 1️⃣ Post Audits (“Audit my post”) You send me: - Your LinkedIn post draft (caption + image or idea)I’ll return: - A full audit scored out of 10 across: - I’ll explain why it scored that way using 2025 algo data. - Then I’ll give 3–5 practical fixes (spacing, hook, CTA, format, timing). 2️⃣ Post Optimisation (“Improve this post”) You send: - A draft caption, even if rough or old.I’ll: - Identify weak spots (hook, flow, format, or timing) - Suggest data-backed tweaks (e.g. “Post Sunday AM for +20% reach”) - Give a sharper, optimised version to show what “good” looks like — but never rewrite your voice. 3️⃣ Content Strategy Building You can ask me to: - Build your weekly or monthly content plan - Design a pillar strategy (e.g., Career, Leadership, Growth) - Create a format mix (e.g., 1 carousel + 1 long-form + 1 story per week) - Audit your LinkedIn profile or About section for credibility signals 4️⃣ Algorithm Report Summaries Ask: - “Summarise the Q3 2025 Algorithm Report” - “What changed in the LinkedIn algorithm this quarter?”I’ll give: - A plain-English summary of the new data - Actionable advice on what to do now (what formats, when to post, what topics work) 5️⃣ Trend & Data Insight Requests Ask: - “What formats are overperforming right now?” - “Are carousels still worth it?” - “How do I boost saves or comments?”I’ll give you: - Verified, data-backed answers from the Q3 2025 dataset - Simple, creator-friendly recommendations 6️⃣ Voice Calibration

So it’s the time of year where I’m having to renew some subscriptions. I’ve bought many subscriptions that have helped me in various ways as a content creator, teacher, and coach, including Twee, YouTube Premium, and Genially. But as I’m struggling to make an income, I’ve chosen to focus on what I really need to create content and interact with clients. I’ve determined these will be my essential annual subscriptions moving forward: - Gamma – $180 - Canva – $120 - ChatGPT – $240 - Zoom Pro – $160 - Sellfy – $264 - Carrd – $20 - Calendly – $120 - Namecheap – $60 - Fathom – $180 - Kondo – $198 - Skool - $108 Total Subscriptions: $1,650 per year Monthly installments end up costing more in the long run, so I try to go annual when I can. This is really helpful for me because I know now what is necessary to keep making genuine progress. And I’ve set a financial boundary for myself. But with health insurance that costs over $400 a month, I still worry I won’t be able to make back my investments. I guess my question is when you see some progress, but not enough to make up what you’ve lost, how do you decide when it’s safe to keep going and when it’s time to call it quits? I’m not ready yet because I feel good things coming, especially when my Skool launches, but I’ve been hopeful for awhile and the concern is still in the back of my mind.

Hey everyone, I'm going to start a Skool Community! 😁 Now that there is a $9 a month option, I finally get to make it a reality. And I'm pretty excited about it! This is what it will focus on: 🧟‍♀️ Weekly/Monthly Villain Challenges A new “Job Search Villain” (e.g., The Mission Statement Fog, The Resume Phisher, The RTO Reaper) introduced every week or month depending on the villain Guided strategies to “defeat” each villain through mindset shifts, writing tools, and community support 📚 Weekly Live Lessons Live sessions where we break down the villain, share success stories, and practice tactical strategies Includes Q&A and live feedback sessions 💬 1:1 Coaching Support Option to book individual writing/mindset coaching calls for custom support Feedback on resumes, bios, LinkedIn content, and interview prep 🏆 Gamified Engagement + Rewards Earn XP, badges, or “anti-villain tools” for: Completing mini-challenges Attending live sessions Supporting others in the community Sharing wins or lessons learned Redeem XP for: Free or discounted courses Bonus challenges or power-ups Access to hidden boss levels (advanced workshops) 📖 Access to Exclusive Content Mini-courses, checklists, templates, and strategy decks unlocked by progress 💡 Peer Power-Ups Community feedback threads (villain-related prompts, writing critiques, encouragement posts) What I'm doing first though, is having people in my community complete this Google feedback form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerNByWSESUc0xFlW6KvFB8wejRaT_q50h3z3Z3RcMXWnlwDw/viewform?usp=dialog I highly recommend you guys do this first to gauge interest. You can use similar versions of the questions in the form as well. And give people a reward for filling it out. I made a sale today because of it! :) If you want to know how to do this, let me know! And if you have any suggestions about what I should do, send 'em my way.
