Hello and welcome to the community! I’m Leigh aka The Basics Bitch 💋 I’ll add some info about myself in the comments. First write your own introduction post and add it to the intro tab so everybody can learn all about you and your business (this is your chance to promote yourself so add links!) Second go do the Finding your thing challenge starting with #Welcome to the Finding you Thing challenge then work your way through, this will ensure that you have your idea/business pinned down so that you can get the most value from this community. Then you want to check out the other classrooms including free mini trainings/challenges like The Skool community sprint & Awesome free shit. After that make sure to check out the daily posts which contain tips, advice and prompts to help you build your business and keep it moving forward without sacrificing your health or your first born in the process 😉 If you need something a bit more in depth? click here for my paid training program Basic AF, low cost, self paced step by step process to get your business up and running in as little 6 weeks! If you need a higher level of support or resources here's #How to work with me This community is for newbie business start ups and first year founders. If you are more established than that read on: Burnt-out women founders: want calm growth without chaos? 🐾🖤 If your business only works when you’re well-rested, perfectly focused, and nobody needs you… it’s not a plan. It’s a fantasy. I also run a free women only community The Reset Circle

I’m not running this community to make my fortune, that’s not the goal, sure being able to pay my bills is a bonus BUT this community and my Basic AF program are about more than that, which is why it’s a £200 course not a £2k one (and trust me it could be if I wanted it to be with just a few tiny tweaks 😹) BBS is about my belief that everyone should have access to fundamentals that can help them improve their lives, that being able to grow and learn should not only be for those who can afford it. That’s why Finding your thing & The Skool Sprint are FREE and will always be available & always FREE because those two mini trainings are literally all you need to get your business started. I was reminded today by @Raven Steele in her community Revenue Revolution about why I started this, why I came back to it even after a huge life changing event. Because I want to help people, genuine people who are struggling to find their footing in business and need somebody to show them the way. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say 💋

Alright BBS — we’re halfway through January, which means it’s time for a proper check-in. This month I’ve been running the community like a paid membership: daily prompts, more structured threads, more direct support, more “cheers + checks.” I want your feedback so we can keep what’s working… and ditch what’s not next month. 1) How are you finding the “paid” experience? Be honest (kindly 😌): - What’s been most helpful? - What’s been annoying / too much / not your thing? - Do you feel more supported? More focused? More overwhelmed? 2) What should stay in February (when we go back to more casual)? Vote by poll! 3) What feels missing? If there’s one thing you wish this community had — say it. I’m building this with you, not at you. 🏆 Skool Sprint Winner: Community Audit AND — the winner of the community audit from the Skool sprint is… @Melissa Steiner 🎉 Not only did she participate — she was the only one who completed the task every single day, so she wins by default. Melissa, you absolute legend. The rest of you… COME ON GUYS WHERE WERE YOU ALL?! 😂💀 One change that happened today #Self care that goes deeper & Fix your fucking Mindset are now a level unlock bonus not paid, the bar is high though even I wouldn't have unlocked them yet so you'll need to be active in here to get your hands on them 💋 One change coming in February 👀 Starting in February we’ll have one “Promo Day” each week where you can share an advertising post for your business. BUT (and this is the important bit):✅ Promo Day is only for members who have engaged in the community the previous week and earned points to land on the weekly leader board. No drive-by link dumping. You want visibility? You earn it by being part of the room. 💅 Drop your feedback + your votes below. And if you’re reading this thinking “I’ve been lurking”… this is your cue to speak up.
