One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

I'm looking to collaborate with community owners (with communities of at least 30 people) who have online course creators or wannabe course creators in their audiences. My offer is to do a free masterclass in your community in exchange for the opportunity to invite people to join my paid community, the "Your Best Course Build Lab." Normally I don't participate in #FriendFriday because my job is to support you all, but I did join a new community this week, so I'll shout out @Jen Hill Myers and her community The Kind Copy Movement. Jen focuses on ethical, story-based marketing and copywriting and is giving away a ton of value at a no-brainer price. There's a rumour the price is going to go up soon, which is why I jumped on the chance to join this week. Here is my affiliate link!

Join @Lisa Drennon for this amazing masterclass now. Check out the calendar for more info! Calm Cash Flow Workshop: Turn Money Chaos Into a Simple Money Map If money feels loud, this gives you the calm. Calm cash flow is what happens when your money finally has a plan and your nervous system finally has proof you’re safe. As a single mom who filed for bankruptcy at 22 and then went on to rack up $100K of debt years later (even while “doing everything right”) I can tell you this: Money problems are rarely math problems. They’re relationship problems. If money feels loud, chaotic, confusing, or like it slips through your fingers, no matter how much you make, this workshop is for you. Calm Cashflow Workshop. In 90 minutes, I’m going to help you build your Money Map, a simple system that shows you: - where your money is going (without shame) - how to plug the “strainer holes” so money stops disappearing - how to set up money pods (buckets) so you can save, spend, and grow money with calm confidence - what to do during high months + low months so you stop panicking and start leading - Mini-win you’ll leave with: ✅ a clear Money Map + one weekly money rhythm you can actually keep If you’re ready for money to feel calmer, not because you’re restricting yourself but because you finally have a plan you trust then reserve Thursday, January 22nd at 3 PM EST as your date with money. Check the Calendar for the Zoom link and remember: It doesn’t matter how much money you have-it’s what you do with it 🗝️🌬️💖💸

I've been thinking a lot over the past several months about the idea of a CLASSIFIEDS Directory. I've always kind of called the Classroom our directory, but several people have mentioned that it would be nice to have things organized according to topic/industry/niche, which prompted me to ask you all about organizing the community that way (we/I decided against it for several reasons). If I were to do it, it would be one "course" in the classroom with a page for each industry. It would be available to annual premium member and VIP members (when I release VIP) with VIP members having top billing, and it would be updated monthly. Here are my concerns: 1. It would be a lot of work to create and update, and I'm not sure if the ROI would be there in terms of increased visibility. 2. There are a lot of other sites (ProveWorth and others) that are doing a great job at letting people list their communities as well as many Skool groups that now are sharing directories. Do we really need another directory??? 3. Having a course in the classroom that people can easily scroll through is already a pretty prominent visibility opportunity and it rotates weekly, so everyone has a chance to be on the first page. 4. It's a lot of work. Did I mention it's a lot of work??? 5. The only benefit above the ads already posted in the classroom would be that it could be sorted by niche. 6. Skool is going to do a lot of improving this year to searchability and discoverability, so there may no longer be a need for this in the near future. I'm going to post a picture below of what an entry would look like. I'm super curious about your thoughts! Please share below and don't hold back. All opinions are welcome! 😊

And a little love to close it out. CREATE A NEW POST (in Collaborations) and include both of the following: Part 1: What you’re looking for - A collaborator - Affiliate partner - Podcast guest - Beta tester - Feedback on an idea or post Be clear and specific. Part 2: Tag one person who's group you think adds real value and would be beneficial to other group members. Bonus points if it's a new group you joined this week! Explain what the group is, who it is for, and why you think it is amazing. Please note that this prompt is in lieu of #FriendFriday this week. #FriendFriday will return to it's regularly scheduled time next week. 😉 And then join us in the PERSONALS to celebrate all the fun, meet your fellow Classifieders, and promote your group in person!!! The meeting will be recorded and shared with the entire 1200+ group afterwards! 🚀
