Mine has been super nice... it finally warmed back up here and I just wrapped up my week at the beach front retreat house.

I'm so excited to be back home and so excited to sleep in my own bed tonight.

That's always one of my favorite things about going away... coming back and having a  brand new appreciation for some of the things we sometimes take for granted. :)

Here's a pic from the beach house. I had my dog, River, plus 5 others that I was taking care of. They are all so sweet.
 

I'm super excited because I'm hosting my digital vision board party this week (Thursday night) on Zoom.

It looks like we will have a pretty good turnout... I offered it as a bonus for everyone that joined our new personal development/goal setting/focus app during the promo that we did recently.

Since the party isn't until Thursday of this week, I decided that anyone else that wants in on the app between now and then will get an invite to the party, too.

During the party, we will all hang out together on Zoom, and I will show you how to easily drag and drop images from the internet into a beautiful dream board template.

We will create our 30 (or 60 or 90) day dream boards together while chatting and enjoying the great company...

And then, I will show you the process I use to help make the items on my 30 day vision board come to life on or before schedule.

We will have a blast and you will walk away with one of the most powerful (if not THE most powerful) short term goal vision board that you've ever had.

And, the cool thing is that we will also be able to upload the vision boards we create into the app, so that we have it with us all of the time.

If that sound like something you'd like to participate in, all you have to do is grab the app between now and Thursday. It's only $10, and you can get it here.

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

This Week on the Podcast

In my latest podcast episode, I am joined by Dr. Yaniv Zaid. 

Dr. Zaid is an expert in public speaking and sales and his mission in life is to help people to increase their income and build their professional authority.
 

Dr. Zaid is also known as Dr. Persuasion, a name that he created for himself before he became a doctor, and a brand that he has been living into ever since.

During our conversation, Dr. Zaid spoke about the importance of social proof and why it’s crucial to have a very specific call to action in your messaging.
 

He also shared how he is able to help brands have huge success (even though he doesn’t personally have an experience with their products), by deeply understanding the reasoning behind why someone would want to buy those products.
 

He spoke about how using artificial intelligence instead of your own voice could be hurting your business, and the importance of using simple words in your marketing.

If you’ve ever wondered how best to put yourself out into the world in a way that your audience will be able to find you, this episode will help you. 

I seriously LOVED this episode... we talked about so many of my favorite things and Dr. Zaid is such an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge. We became fast friends. :)
 

You can listen (or watch) the episode here.

Start Your Year Off Right

I have a new resource for you to help you start your year off powerfully!

What's cool is that this was a bonus that was only available for our paying members inside of our community... but we decided to make it available to the public since so many people need help getting on track with their goals and their mindset at this time of year.

I am elated that I get to share this with you! It's a resource that has made an enormous difference in my life.

It's called The Magical Morning Formula: The 7 Simple Steps For Touching Daily Magic and it's a super powerful training that was created by one of our co-founders, my dear friend Paul Hutchings.

Not only is a he a brilliant genius in so many ways, but he has also used the steps he has laid out for you in this training to totally transform his own life.

AND- when you get your training (it's free by the way) you will also get with it The Little Book Of Magic Affirmations, another resource authored by Paul... a little book chock full of so many affirmations that you can use in lots of different ways to up level your life and business.
 

You can grab it all here for free.
 

New Resource (FREE!)

This Week's Exclusive Training (New!)

I've been given the honor of serving our community in a new way for the couple of 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 showed my process for sharing a one-minute clip of my latest podcast episode as a waveform using TikTok and Instagram Reels (and Facebook and YouTube and Pinterest, too).
 

I have a free app that I use to create the audio clips... and it automatically connects to my podcast feed which makes it so easy.

That being said, you could create an audio specifically to share in this way and just upload it into the app if you don't have a podcast. It's just a pretty ninja way to share audio clips. :)

Last week, I showed how I repurpose my longer TikTok videos on YouTube (as a regular video, not a short... since TikTok videos can be up to 10 minutes long but YouTube shorts have to be 60 seconds or less). And I showed how I repurpose everything onto my stories and how I add a live link to those so that I can easily send people where I'm suggesting they go.

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! 

Featured Short Form Video

In the caption of this 8 second video, I shared how you could be hurting yourself if you are using AI to write your content for you.

I also shared the good news for those that aren't. :)
 

A Sneak Peek Into Our Community & Back Office

Last week, 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.

• our tools and training
• affiliate marketing (we pay 80% commissions for referrals on our products)
• how we've been able to provide 216,569 meals so far to starving children 
• our community
• anything else...

You can watch the replay from the orientation 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.
