✨ What I'm reading and listening to this week


Hi Reader

I’ve been reading The Plan by Kendra Adachi.

The thing that has stood out the most so far is truly identifying and embracing the season of life you’re in right now and choosing the one thing that is most important to you for this season.

Then and only then, make your plans.

This week we are in a short “season” of sickness.

Just keeping everyone hydrated and getting through this week is the top priority.

My two littlest are the last to get sick and are almost through the worst of it.

Thankfully.

When not tending to them, I’ve been able to listen to several of the audio talks from the free today only, Grow your List Summit without Social Media.

My favorite so far is Growing through Custom GPTs by Azhelle Wade.

She talks about how to train a custom GPT bot for your website to create an interactive experience for your site visitors and uniquely create value for them while also directing them to the best resources you have for their situation and ultimately leading them to work with you.

It is a really eye opening talk!

Here’s the topics covered int the summit:

💻Hosting a summit
🎁Participating in a bundle
📹Set-it-and-forget-it list growth on YouTube
🎙️Leveraging podcast interviews
🧑‍🏫Turning teaching opportunities into a subscriber magnet
🤝Collaborating with other business owners to create products and events
📖Gifting an e-book
🎒Affiliates as a way to grow more quickly
🧠Strategic collaborations into podcast and program

I’m planning to listen to a few more today in the in-between moments.

Here’s my affiliate link if you’d like to listen too.

It’s hosted on MemberVault, one of my favorite course platforms!

Hi Reader Setting up MemberVault finally made it to the top of my to do list. It’s been a long time coming… Like 2 years+.
