Welcome to the Life Editor Awesome Party (LEAP)! I’m so glad you’re here. 🎉 I’m Sage Grayson, a former book editor turned life and business coach. Since 2011, I’ve been helping online business owners earn $10K months consistently with ease so they can quit their 9-to-5 jobs. As I like to say, "I’m a Life Editor, and so are you!" You can see all my freebies and products on my Everything Page. LEAP is my free Skool community for online business owners who are done spinning, dabbling, overthinking, and doing a million “business tasks” that somehow make zero dollars. You’re safe here. Now let’s make some money! 😈 ✱ WHAT LEAP IS HERE TO HELP YOU DO ✱ Inside this community, you’ll learn how to: ✅ Focus on what’s closest to cash instead of getting lost in busywork ✅ Take consistent action even when your brain wants to reorganize Google Drive for hours ✅ Get support, feedback, and accountability from other Life Editors who are actually doing the work ✅ Build a real business that can replace your 9-to-5 income This is not a “lurk forever and hope your business magically fixes itself” group. This is a party with a purpose. ✱ HOW LEAP WORKS ✱ 📚 The Classroom Start here when you want the good stuff. The Classroom is where you’ll find the Closest to Cash training with your free 5-day challenge, past Power Hour replays, community rules, and other free trainings to help you act like the CEO of your business. Your first stop after introducing yourself? Watch Closest to Cash. 💵 It will help you figure out what actually deserves your time, what can wait, and what needs to be lovingly thrown out the window for good. 💬 The Community Feed This is where the party happens. Post questions, share wins, get feedback, and connect with other online business owners. You’ll also see themed posts like: ✅ Collab Applications ✅ Worst Practices Wednesday ✅ Share Your Freebie

Before you promise someone a big transformation, I want you to ask yourself one question: What proof do I actually have? 🤷‍♀️ Not what proof do you wish you had. Not what proof Future You definitely will have after she gets her life together, drinks more water, stops doom scrolling, and stops overthinking every checkout page. What proof do you have TODAY? Inside our FREE Power Hour training happening TOMORROW, I’m teaching one of my favorite nuggets of wisdom from this whole topic: The Proof Ladder! 🪜 It’ll help you figure out where you are right now: Level 1: Personal Proof. You’ve done the thing yourself. Level 2: Client Proof. You’ve helped someone else do the thing. Level 3: Process Proof. You’re actively testing the thing and documenting what happens. Level 4: Adjacent Proof. You have related experience that gives you credibility. Level 5: No Proof Yet. You’re interested, passionate, and learning but you need to sell carefully, honestly, and probably as a beta or experiment. This matters because if you’re on Level 5, you DO NOT get to market like you’re on Level 1. ❌ You can't ethically say, “I’ll help you make $10K months,” if you have not made $10K months and have not helped a client do it either. ❌ You can't promise someone they’ll double their income if you haven’t created that result. ❌ You can't sell a measurable transformation with no receipts and then act shocked when people don’t trust you. BUT . . . ✅ You can still sell something honest. ✅ You can sell process support. ✅ You can sell a beta. ✅ You can sell accountability. ✅ You can run an experiment. You can become the guinea pig. 🐹 That’s exactly what I’m teaching TOMORROW Thursday, June 4 at 9:00 am Pacific right here inside our LEAP Skool Community. The Guinea Pig Method: How to Sell Before You’re the Expert The replay will only be available inside Skool. You’ll learn how to build trust and sell ethically even if you’re still becoming the expert. Because your business doesn't need more vague promises.

Just popping in with some wonderful wins from the amazing biz owners in our Goodbye 9-to-5 Mastermind. 🎉 @Samantha Stefaniak earned $4200 in 2 days by selling 2 spots in her "big offer," Carrying Your Cross Without Losing Yourself ($1800 x2) and referring someone to the Goodbye 9-to-5 Mastermind ($600). 🎉 @Jeannie Guzman built and sold spots in her "big offer," Her Money System Reset Month, for women business owners ready to feel calm, clear & in control of their money. 🎉 @Kristin Gereige TRIPLED her income this month by growing her Skool group Embrace Your Journey to 181 members, opening the premium tier, and getting a few sign ups. 🎉 @Abbey Strodtbeck created and launched The Skool Scaling Squad group to help you earn recurring revenue every month, without a free group, a massive audience, or waiting months to make a dime. 🎉 @Devyn Price completed the daily livestream challenge, and you can watch all the videos in her Skool group, Fiercely Vocal for singers who want to improve their voice, build real confidence, and finally get their song out into the world. 🎉 @Nicola Skeet consistently published a live stream video every day in May on her YouTube channel and in her Skool group, Calm Systems for Busy Mums, a gentle support space for overwhelmed mums who are tired of carrying everything in their heads.

Share the bad business practices you're seeing so we can all do better. No names, please! We're shaming the practice, not the person.

Can you sell something you haven’t done yet? Tricky little question, right? This comes up ALL THE TIME with coaches, service providers, course creators, and business owners who want to help people create a transformation . . . but they’re still becoming the expert themselves. 😞 Maybe you want to help people earn more money, but you haven’t hit that income level yet. 😞 Maybe you want to help people grow on social media, but your own account is still giving “forgotten houseplant.” 😞 Maybe you want to coach people through a result you deeply care about, but you don’t have the testimonials, screenshots, or receipts yet. So, are you doomed? No way, Life Editor! But you do need to stop selling from “trust me, babe” energy. This Thursday, June 4 at 9:00 am Pacific, I’m leading our next free Power Hour right here inside our Life Editor Awesome Party (LEAP) Skool Community: 🔬 The Guinea Pig Method: How to Sell Before You’re the Expert 🔬 In this free training, you’ll learn how to build trust and sell ethically even if you’re still becoming the expert. Here's What We're Talking About: 🔍 What you can and cannot ethically promise to your followers. 🔍 Why vague marketing makes people trust you LESS! 🔍 How to use The Proof Ladder to know where you actually stand. 🔍 How to become your own guinea pig and document the process as you go through it live. 🔍 How to invite beta clients or founding members without pretending your offer is already proven. 🔍 What to say instead of “I can help you get massive results” when you don’t have proof yet. This is only happening inside our free LEAP Skool Community. That means you MUST be in the group to attend live, and the replay will only be available inside Skool too. Because you don't need to fake being the expert, but you do need RECEIPTS. See you Thursday! 🐹
