Weekly Updates🎉

1. Major FAIL then beauty. We've got new clients signed up for ContentCoach.Social. We are ready to go, we've built the course portion into a platform (I’m not here to bash) and on day 1 when we are ready to let the customers log in...the platform's login page crashes. At that moment I decided I was done with the platform for the course delivery (it was not meeting all of my needs and we were using it because it is part of a bigger system we use). I gathered the team and said... ”We need to look at Skool and Podia... Please rebuild the entire course in those platforms TODAY so we can test and get clients in by Monday. I then delay the clients. Over the weekend... I take a look at Skool and Podia... I like them but neither is giving me everything I want. Then, I remembered my new friend Marisa Murgatroyd whom I met at the Speakeasy Mastermind Vegas event. Years ago I watched, from afar, as Marisa launched a new course platform based on experience and gamification. I shot her a text message and told her I was an idiot for looking at other platforms... She agreed (lol)... And then said that what I was looking to do Xperiencify could get done for me. Now It’s Sunday Eve when I come to this revelation and have to inform the team that.... Their efforts were not wasted because it showed us what we did not want... AND we have to do it again.
   

2. Analysis Paralysis - A strength overused is a weakness. I preach constantly about being obsessed with your audience and building Ideal Customer profiles. Super important and a strength of mine... UNTIL it’s not. The other side of the coin is where I am right now because I keep putting off the launch of the YouTube channel because I keep refining the ideal customer profile. The pursuit of perfection is my kryptonite in this case. The reality that I tell my clients is: "You don’t wait to date your future spouse until you know everything about them" The same is true with your ICP… You will learn them as you go... (I’m just talking to myself right now y’all).

I host dinners with friends in every city I visit, offering an evening of great food and networking with amazing people. These events are designed to foster connections and introduce individuals who may have solutions to your toughest challenges. Next stop: Orlando!

I am not a fan of jewelry, and I never thought much of those event armbands—until Gabe handed me one during a Dinner with Friends event in Las Vegas, right in the middle of my speech. It reads, "You are greatness, don't fight it." Now, six or seven months later, I still haven’t taken it off.

That's just Gabe. He has a unique and gentle way of helping you. He has this incredible ability to see the greatness in you, often before you see it yourself. I can't express how much I appreciate Gabe for that. Honestly, he’s done this for me many times throughout our friendship. It's like he's held up a mirror, showing me that I’m more valuable than I gave myself credit for and that I was bringing more to the world than I realized. I’m truly grateful to Gabe for that. Through our friendship, he’s shown me how much value I bring to the world, and I’ve watched him do the same for others.

What’s even more amazing is that while some people are just born with this kind of ability, I’m sure there’s a bit of that in him too. Gabe wasn’t always this way. A few years ago, he realized the life he was leading wasn’t fulfilling, so he set out on a journey of transformation. He chose to be a better person, not defined by his past, proving that we aren’t limited by where we’ve been but by the choices we make. I’m truly honored to call Gabriel my friend.
