Brands: Offering commission does NOT MAKE A COLLABORATION a “paid collaboration.”
Creators: If all of your compensation is contingent on things outside of your control (ex., commission for purchases), DON’T DO IT. You need to be paid for your work. Full stop.

One day I woke up and realize there was ONE THING that every single person who had achieved what I wanted had done:
They started.
They made the decision to give it a try.
So if I wasn’t willing to do the ONE THING THEY WERE ALL DOING, then wtf was I doing feeling jealous or sorry for myself?

I see so many coaches teaching how to “activate energy so people don’t even care what you are selling, they just want to buy”… no offense but i don’t want that customer. I want the customer who picks up on that energy AND feels like my offers are a good fit for them.

You will NEVER hear me say "I replaced myself with AI" & insert income claim "& it made me $10k this week"
You WILL hear me say:
I used AI to give myself SUPERPOWERS, & I 10x'd my income, working 1/10 the hours.
If you are replacing yourself with AI, you should be scared. Why are you replaceable?

The modern day version of a mom picking up a car to save her child:
A mom learning how to make income on her own terms so she can quit her job and be home with her kids - creating a life where she is free to prioritize her children above all else … not just when her boss says its okay.

Hot take: you don't monetize your "passion" or "experience" or "interests" or even a niche.
