Wish you could automate some of your most tedious content creation tasks? Want to streamline your content production? Learn how to simplify your content creation process with automation. I was a guest on the Social Media Examiner.

(Still have 50% of the month left to go. Currently in 7th place!) The most important thing I've learned from the Skool games is FOCUS. When you wake up each day with a specific goal, it's quite a bit easier to attack the right tasks and ignore everything else. My biggest weakness in business is doing too many things that don't really matter. Oh should I revamp my website, all my funnels, rearrange my courses? (no you shouldn't) Not only does that SLOW you way down, but it can cause overwhelm as well. I'm working REALLY hard on my business right now, almost 24/7, but I'm not overwhelmed. Clients, community, paid communities, etc. But I'm operating at a level that feels good. There is a big difference between feeling tired from a day of focused hard work. And being a wreck and overwhelmed because you're going around in circles. Sadly, there are really only a few things that tend to move your business forward (I say sadly because they aren't always the thing you want to do). But if you can stay focused on them, you have a lot less to do. Then you can just get to work and cross off those high value tasks. So find a way to set new goals each week, each month, goals that matter and that can keep you focused. (or join Skool games) Set realistic goals too, ones that are a bit of a stretch but not impossible. 💪

I’m doing a "pre-launch" for the No-Code Architects on Saturday June 1st. Become a founding member and lock in a lower subscription for life and help shape the community. Membership fees will increase at 25, 50 and 75 members. Memberships start at $25, $50 then $75 respectively. On July 1st it’ll move to $100/month. Click here to get a notification when the community goes live: https://sgplabs.ck.page/b2365a5806 I plan to pour my 30+ years of experience of building software related businesses into the group. I've generated $100K+ in less than 2 months with the release of KEDB Extreme. With a ~95% profit margin and only a few sales calls. I will have some content when I launch, but it will be limited. I'll release a more detailed roadmap shortly. The pre-launch phase in June will be primary focused on: - Learning what people would like to build and their struggles - Building a die hard group of founding members to help each other - Meeting people on the weekly calls to discuss the goals in more detail (tech support) - Daily journaling around how I build/sell KEDB Weekly calls will start next week. Time/date to be released shortly. Then over June, July, Aug and September I’ll fill out the classroom with more courses, demos and template automations to support the group.

I'm about to sit down and record a YouTube video. I don't want to do it. Maybe that's why I'm right here writing this post instead? Maybe you want to record a video and instead you're reading this post. Sometimes people tell me I make it look easy—recording videos. And while I'm not terrified like I used by be (see screenshot of my first LinkedIn video), I feel all sorts of resistance, probably every time I do it. I get anxious, I doubt my idea, it never fully goes away. At least not yet. And guess what, sometimes I screw up, I have to re-record. It often takes me more time than I want. I hate that feeling, all that wasted time... (though of course it's not truly wasted because I always learn something new in the process) But regardless, it's hard, so naturally I come up with all sorts of distractions. The best way I've been able to combat this is to try and make a quality video. Sometimes I have to focus on a script (or at least an outline) and write it out. I have to clarify all my thoughts, and I rework and synthesize my thoughts over and over to refine and articulate my thoughts into simple powerful ideas. It's all about creating value, articulating powerful points in simple terms. The better you can reduce the learning curve for someone the better your videos will do. That process while not always fun reduces the anxiety I feel because I know the video will be good. I can actually feel it inside my gut. Sometimes people are trying to build all these complex systems that make things easy—but they never actually hit record. Or it zaps the life from their videos. That might sound counterintuitive coming from me giving the products I sell. But truthfully my systems work best automating good content. Not helping you avoid the creation process. You can use ChatGPT but if you don't know what a good video is, if you don't know what a good script is, you won't be able to push back and modify the script to make it better. So, don't be afraid to put in the time. The obstacle is the way.
