How Slowing Down Helped Me Do More
I woke up this morning with a bunch of plans. I wanted to start working on some social media content for next week. But right away, that familiar voice kicked in telling me not to bother. No ideas. No motivation. Nothing there. I told myself I was going to do it anyway. I came down to my computer, sat there with a piece of paper in front of me, and just stared at it. Completely blank. No inspiration. No ideas. Just that feeling of forcing it. And honestly, I didn’t feel like it at all. That’s when I realized something. I needed to slow down. So I shut everything off. Computer off. Phone off. All the noise gone. I went and sat in a quiet spot, closed my eyes, and did a short meditation. No intention other than taking a break, slowing down, and trying to feel a bit better. About ten minutes in, once my mind settled and my body relaxed, that’s when it happened. Ideas started coming in. One after another. Good ideas. Clear ideas. The kind that feel like they come out of nowhere. I wanted to jump up and write them all down right away, but instead I just stayed there and let it flow. One of those ideas was writing this post and sharing this with you. The reminder for me today was simple. Sometimes we think that to do more, we need to push harder and go faster. But when you’re stuck, doing more usually isn’t the answer. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop, slow down, and get clear. That’s often where the next step shows itself.

I shit you not...
I literally just watched the replay cohort class from yesterday (because my signal was horrible yesterday) and I changed my offer on my side panel according to Goose's advice to: Stop emotional triggers from ruining your life & keeping you in toxic patterns with someone who's already walked the journey. And. I shit you not. One minute later. I got my first CHA-Ching.!!!!!! I made my first dollar on Skool.!!!!!! I literally got tears in my eyes. This thing is actually gonna work.

Why Community Matters
Just wanted to share a small moment from last week that reminded me why community matters. I’d been a bit stuck in my own head and ended up chatting with someone I met through Skool. We’re on a similar path, and he said, β€œGive me your number, let’s have a chat.” We jumped on the phone for about 30 minutes. A few laughs, some honest conversation, and that feeling of being understood by someone who’s been in similar situations. I walked away feeling lighter. It was a good reminder of two things: β€’ Talking things out beats carrying them alone β€’ Being in the right community makes those conversations possible What I appreciate about Skool is how easy it is to connect. No algorithms, no noise, just real people, easy to reach, and open to conversation. I genuinely don’t think that connection would’ve happened elsewhere. Curious, has Skool had the same effect on you?
MIT researchers say using ChatGPT can rot your brain
Source Article: https://theconversation.com/mit-researchers-say-using-chatgpt-can-rot-your-brain-the-truth-is-a-little-more-complicated-259450 Twitter post on same topic: https://x.com/itsalexvacca/status/1935343874421178762 ------ This is from June of 2025 and surprisingly got buried with everything else going on. If we want people to thinking, questioning and more creative - why are we outsourcing this to AI? Why are making it problem solve - which end of the day is reducing our brain power to do the same. ---- I find it irritating/frustrating when asking for help/advice around my skool community only to have people input my question into AI and then generate the answer. Like - I could have done that but chose not to because I want HUMAN help not computer help. If you had a choice between asking Alex Hormozi for Business advice for 1 hour OR using AI to solve it yourself... you're taking Alex himself. Same goes with other 8 and 9 figure entrepreneurs - it is a tool end of the day. It is not a coach. not a mentor. not a consultant. not an advisor. It is almost as comical if you prompted it for nuts without content... you get all the mixed nuts but none of the 10mm ones you are missing on the project you are working on.
