Mine has been magical.

The weather is absolutely perfect here now... beautiful spring weather.

I don't take any of it for granted because it won't be long before it's super hot outside and the A/C will be cranking nonstop for several months.

But, for now, it's the time of year where we can sleep with the windows open and spend the majority of the day on the porch... and I love that.

I spent the day walking around downtown with one of my besties yesterday. It was a perfect day for that. Here's us hanging out down by these cool houseboats on the river downtown. They are air bnb's! I have some videos and more pictures of our day on Facebook here if you want to see them.
 

I am also leaving town later this week... I will be at a retreat for a few days, completely off the grid.

So I just wanted to give you the heads up in case you don't hear from me for a bit.

But, I will be back, hopefully better than ever, after that. :)

And now, here's your recap from the week in case you missed anything... 

This Week on YouTube

I received a question from one of my subscribers wondering if the HBA Funnel Builder can be used to create a store similar to Shopify to sell digital products. 

And the answer is, of course, yes! 

You can create a digital store in just a few minutes… and we have lots of templates to help you (or you can build it from scratch). 

The builder also connects to lots of payments gateways (Stripe, etc) so you can choose which one is best for you. 

And you can sell digital courses and membership sites (with monthly subscriptions), as well as physical products.

I just shot this super quick less-than-4-minute video to show you how it works. 

In this video I shared: 
– some of the store templates we have available in the HBA Funnel Builder 
– the breakdown of the steps to set up a store (including how many minutes each step takes) 
– some of the other things you can do with the HBA Funnel Builder (all for just $25/month- no upsells) 

If you are wanting to create and sell online courses or a membership site or any type of digital or physical products, this will help you to see how easily you can do it for just $25/month. 

Keep in mind that you can also sell the HBA products as an affiliate and earn 80% recurring monthly commission on them without even having to create a store at all. 

You can watch the video here.
 

This Week's Exclusive Training

I've been given the honor of serving our community in a new way for the last few months. I was asked to share an over-the-shoulder training for our Premium members to show some of my marketing strategies. 

This is our Traffic & Conversions mastermind, which happens every day, Monday - Friday and is always so filled with gold... and our community loves being able to spend this time together each day to get all of their questions answered and to have the opportunity to get to know each other on a deeper level.

I was recently asked if I would teach on Thursdays, so that's what I've been doing. 

It's different every week... I just teach whatever I happen to be working on at the moment.

This week I shared the new Pinterest strategy I'm working on and my thought process behind it. Pinterest is the third largest search engine and my channel has not been optimized in a long time, so I'm ramping it up and shared over my shoulder as I worked on it.
 

Last week, I did an over-the-shoulder editing session of one of my TikTok videos that I was getting ready to post, to show exactly how I use the TikTok editor to clean up my videos and add text, captions, music, a call to action, etc. Then I shared how I download it without the watermark and share the same video within a couple of minutes onto 4 other platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest).

As I said, it will be different every week, and we have different people teaching on the other days of the week as well, so it's one of the best places I've ever seen to come and get trained over-the-shoulder by people who are getting great results with their marketing... and these marketing strategies apply to any business at all!

I can't share the training with you, as it's exclusive in the back office for our Premium members.

But... here's the good news! 

If you want to watch the replay and any of the other replays (we have ALL of the replays available in a playlist)... you can get instant access to it inside of our Premium membership. 

When you join our All-In-One Business here for only $25, you will get two full FREE weeks of Premium, so not only can you watch the replays from our masterminds and go through all of the marketing strategy training in the back office, but you will also get to attend all of our live masterminds for 2 full weeks, for free! 

We have 7 Zoom masterminds every week, so this is a great way to come and get the training and comradery that you need to get your business going!

It's seriously a win-win, and you can get access here (just be sure and click the box at checkout to access your 2 free weeks of Premium). 

And then I will see you on Zoom this week! 

A Sneak Peek Into Our Community & Back Office

A couple of weeks ago, we pulled back the curtain on one of our Saturday new member orientation sessions... so that people who are not members inside of the Home Business Academy yet could come hang out with us and see what we're all about.

It was soooooo good!

About an hour and 20 minutes in, one of our founders (my dear friend Paul) chimed in... he was on his tractor in Idaho in the snow with his headphones on. And he just started speaking from his heart to our guests.
 

You can watch the replay here.
 

Meet Our Community

I am so proud of my online community- we are entrepreneurs from all types of niches and spaces, and from all walks of life.

But we have one thing in common... we are all heart-centered people who believe in building businesses in a principle centered way.

I wanted to invite you to come meet us... to get a taste of what a powerful core community feels like- in case you are wanting something like this for yourself. 

Here is some new footage to give you a taste of what our community is like.

You may notice a common word that everyone says... family.

Our community has been described as:
 

"It's like a real family." - Gaetan Henaux

"Warming. Full of love" - Gregory Pierre-Louis

"Very different. We do everything together," - Gio Ambrose Gionta
 

And more- as you will see in the video.

It really is like a family here. Go see for yourself.
