Morning thoughts - there were none as I was way too tired to think. Today was getting the summit promoting in order. I had to choose priorities, and if my interviews are all edited, but nobody knows about the summit, it is not going to work in my favor. I finally changed the time zone for my zoom and systeme.io to quit confusing myself. I finished messaging the rest of the speakers with the summit link and info, and also asked for any of their info such as links. That took a while. I messaged systeme.io as the emails were being wonky - and I’m happy to say THEY TOLD ME I SET UP MY FUNNEL PERFECTLY! Damn, I’m proud of myself for that one! By the way, the emails started working right after I messaged them… Then I scheduled a six newsletter series so everyone in my WETC mailing list would get 2 emails/day. I posted in Ina’s community, and I will post in Michele’s communities tomorrow. I managed to record my video today when the others were out getting groceries. My topic was on how physically decluttering also removes mental and emotional clutter, and how this ties in with undiagnosed neurodivergence. I haven’t listened to it yet. Today I got 3 interviews edited and onto YouTube. 9 more to go. Considering tomorrow is my last day before the summit starts… I’ll have to get at least Wednesday’s done. I’m much less stressed about them. I had Ann Marie’s finished, but was not happy how I did it so it got deleted by me. She’s my big experiment - I learned to not worry about ah and um as it makes the vide go choppy. The other thing is, they are my interviews and I can re-edit them any time, and especially with AI - I decided to keep them simple and real. I watched “A Christmas Story Christmas” with Kimberly. She had meant to watch A Christmas Story, but we got part 2 instead. It’s a really cute movie, and I thoroughly enjoyed the popcorn. I have a lot of support for the summit. It’s evergreen so that is great. It looks like I’ll be in bed by 2:30am tonight - I’m getting better!

Morning thoughts – creating videos How is it that creating two 1 minute videos can be more stressful than setting up a funnel? Both are skills that were outside of my comfort zone, and I figured out funnels with a lot of help. But with a funnel, I could ask for help, use a template, look it up with ChatGPT, watch a video on YouTube, etc. But with a video, it’s all me. It’s practice, practice, practice. And I have not put in the practice, so why would I expect everything to go perfectly. Oh, we all know it’s not going to go perfectly no matter what, so I need to wrap my head around that. I am doing this summit messy because it’s important for me to share the messages of these other women. If I don’t get out of my comfort zone, I cannot help other women. I know so many are just like me, and that they’re in survival mode and they just don’t know what to do. And it’s worse than that, they think everything has gone sideways in their life because of them. They might be the common denominator, but all that is is a sign of where we need to grow. It is not a bad thing, it’s simply what life is all about. If we had a test to write, we would study and learn the material, maybe have a tutor or teacher help us. But when it comes to life lessons, it’s simply not that clear and not that simple. I’ve said it 100 times, we are here on earth to learn lessons and grow- to discover who we really are and to truly learn that we are 100% complete and everything is already inside of us. We are the source in the world around us is our resources. And resources can be people in our life that are giving us lessons. All kinds of experiences - until we learn whatever God’s lesson is for us. I’m pretty stubborn, okay very stubborn, and sometimes I have to take the lesson multiple times until it truly registers. And these lessons come to us in a lot of different ways from a lot of different people. Lessons that you are good enough, you are strong, you are powerful, you are source. We come to earth to live life, and living includes all the good, the bad, the ugly - everything. So my new philosophy has been to embrace all of it, call it a crazy adventure, and see what happens.

Definitely no morning thoughts as I was up way too late. I did manage to have a shower and protein shake prior to the mastermind starting. It was so good. Kimberly had my Skool on her computer so I could work on my funnel. After lunch, Skool tried taking my annual payment for the mastermind off my credit card. Considering the mastermind costs a bit more than I have, it was declined, so after lunch we couldn’t unmute or access the chat on our call. We were still grateful to see and hear the mastermind though. I managed to get the funnel capture page completely done before our lunch break.I also made a double batch of dinner rolls. I was pretty clever for the photo on my capture page. I went on every zoom interview on CapCut, and pulled off a picture of each speaker and made a sort of collage - 3 across and 4 down. Then I had a bigger one of me across the top - I am hosting it after all… It turned out pretty good. When I send the link to someone, the picture pops up. I’ll be tech in no time! I was rather proud of myself today as I am finally developing an understanding as to how the funnel works. I had a few blips, but I knew how to fix them pretty quickly due to my new understanding. Tomorrow is church. I have to create two 1-minute videos for my funnels - then they are 100% ready to go off to promoting! I’m waking up with a new identity as someone who likes to create short videos. lol. And also is very fast at editing them. I enjoyed watching bits of them today - I see how passionate the women I interviewed are. It was a wonderful thing! As soon as I do my two short videos, I will send them all an email with the link and information. I also decided to stick with 13 interviews for my future summits - it’s an interesting number if you look it up - it goes perfectly with my community. It will be something I’m known for because it’s an odd number to choose. It actually chose me. Which reminds me - I thought of the perfect VIP bonus today. I will give everyone who signs up for the VIP free access into my newly launched Monthly Membership Module. It will help take it off the ground, and we can all grow together. I will open the locked module from its “draft” status tomorrow. I will also be transferring Yvonne’s Crazy Adventure into there. I will keep each post up for the day, then shift it to the module once I post the next one.

Morning thoughts… You know when you wake up in the middle of a dream and how the two worlds mix themselves together. In that moment, you don’t know what is real and what isn’t and you’re just confused. That’s how I woke up this morning. My brain is buzzing, a list of stuff I have to do is vibrating through my skull. The mastermind starts in 90 minutes, I really want to be working on my funnels, but I really want to be at the mastermind. I guess the good thing is that it’s two things I want to be doing and not two things I don’t want to be doing. I also have to create the videos to add to my funnel. They’re just short one minute welcome videos. It just takes me a while to set up my space where I record so I have a white wall behind me for my map, as well as good lighting. I slept but I woke up exhausted. I know I only got five hours of sleep so that’s probably it. But my brain didn’t settle last night. I was thinking about all the time I had that I could’ve been editing my videos and working on the funnel, but I procrastinated. It all should’ve been done a long time ago, yet I don’t want to beat myself up about it. I am the only one who put myself in this situation right now. The videos should’ve been edited the day after I recorded them. Now I am months behind, with a weekend to catch up. Should have, should have, should have… No matter what way I look at it, I need to understand the basics of funnels and editing. My procrastination is often when I don’t know how to do something. I get overwhelmed and instead of breaking it down into smaller bites, I just don’t do it at all. It’s “all or nothing” philosophy. Now that I’m aware of this is what I’m doing, I’m simply going to have to learn to break things down into smaller steps. I just remembered something I did yesterday – the Vitamix is often in the dishwasher when I get up, and I don’t feel like cleaning it so I just use a shaker - but there’s no shaky thing inside of it. Because the filtered water is connected to the fridge, my shake is cold and gets those powdered lumps. I hate lumps in my morning shake, and I feel like I’m wasting my protein powder when it sticks to the sides, so I do drink the lumps. Anyways, I warmed up my water to 50°C then mixed it together and it was like hot chocolate. That is what I will do from now on because it made it really, really good.

Morning thoughts… completely forgot. Watched Simon Sinek’s latest podcast instead. I don’t even know what I did this morning. I did take Scruffy the dog for a walk. She is really sweet and extremely hyper. She can jump crazy high. I cleaned up her area as well. She was such a good girl considering it was the first time I walked with her. Of course there is a photo attached! But mostly I was working on my summit funnel. I have the capture page done except for a photo. I’m not sure what to do there yet. I can always change it up at any time. Everything takes 10 times longer when we are learning. I made a conscious effort to not get frustrated. I learned a lot about editing the text and lining it up. I’m happy with the result. Tomorrow and Saturday are the Mastermind, but I’ll be needing my iPad to do my funnel. I don’t know how that’s going to work. Mike’s recording it directly in Skool so we have to use my link. Kimberly might be watching it from my phone. It’s 3am so goodnight.
