When I coach a client about scaling their business, what I'm about to share is NOT what we focus on.

We mostly focus on designing high leverage assets (YouTube channels, higher converting offers, webinars & more).

But if you're trying to scale without working more, we do have to look at basic productivity.

Ask yourself this uncomfortable question:

"What am I saying Yes to when I should be saying No?"

(If the question isn't uncomfortable, think deeper).

In a coaching session people reluctantly start listing commitments they have that don't contribute to their goals.

What are you saying yes to because of a sense of obligation? Or because you're afraid of what people will think if you say no?

If you're a recovering people pleaser like me, this exercise can be very uncomfortable. 😬

Personally I've gotten pretty good at saying No to others for things that don't align with my values and goals.

I turn down appearances, income and flattering invitations, reminding my brain that not all opportunities are good ones.

But the person I struggle to say No to the most? Myself. 🤦🏻‍♂️

When we are deciding what to say No to, we have to include saying No to ourselves.

Without doing that, I'd say Yes to every single idea I have! And I am never short on ideas.

And of course I like my ideas - I came up with them. 😁

Say no to more this year, even when it's uncomfortable.

Using LinkedIn & YouTube Together

There is no doubt that YouTube can build your authority in a huge way.
​
But what if your hottest prospects are on LinkedIn too?
​
Running two separate strategies is out of the question for a time-strapped entrepreneur, so I've invited my friend Louise Brogan in for a special guest expert workshop:
​
​Build Authority Faster Using YouTube & LinkedIn Together​
​
In this training, you will see how adding LinkedIn to your YouTube strategy can actually makes things easier, not harder.
​
You'll learn:

• How to turn one YouTube video into 10+ LinkedIn posts (without it taking over your week)
• A simple “YouTube → LinkedIn” system that builds authority + consistency
• Exactly what to repurpose: clips, text posts, carousels, newsletter ideas
• How to use LinkedIn to turn viewers into comments, DMs, and leads (without being salesy)

This workshop is tomorrow, January 28th at 11am EST, and is FREE to attend live!

Is Your "Ugly Selfie" The New Key To Trust?

How do you feel about AI enhanced photos in your marketing?

Earlier this month we taught a workshop about using AI to create better YouTube Thumbnails, while still having them look like YOU.

It led to some debate about whether using AI with your branding photos hurts trust or not.

(This is a great discussion topic - I know my brain tells me not to trust someone with really fake looking photos before I even have time to think about it).

Candy Harper wrote a great story about this topic in our Done By Lunch community that is both fascinating and terrifying.
