Thanks so much Claire, I appreciate that. 🫶🏼

The growth goalposts move like they’re on amphetamines and I can’t keep up 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 It’s not enjoyable.

I think that Substack initially seems simple but is much more complicated than it seems. Bur with Sarah, this community and seat of the pants time, I think it is possible to master it. And I say that as one who is still working at it.

1. Most excited? Magnifying the message of women’s empowerment with AI 2. I won’t keep up and utilize it to its most genius abilities.

Thanks Sarah - It is such a relief to hear this today. I've been having one of those months where my unsubscribes cancel out my subscribes and paid is at a stand still . . .It's the long game. . . I appreciate this community so much and the support you provide.

Thank you, Sarah, for the pep talk. What is going on with Substack? — Is it the 100 mil investment? I'm not worried, as you always say, this is a looooong ‘game’. I'm enjoying my tiny corner of the internet ❤️ posting what I'm most interested in

I wish I could afford you because I know what you offer is invaluable.

Hello Ginni 🤗 are you talking about the annual plan or the private sessions? The annual plan is insane. I was shocked when I saw it. I recently hit a year July 18 and believe me I’ve spent thousands of dollars and some of it was money thrown away but lessons learned. I’m guessing you might be talking to private sessions but the way I’m thinking about it is that how fast do I need to get there and if I really need additional eyes especially since I’m not a formal writer but I will say that I am a writer at this point everybody has been on my case about that although again, I just started writing July 18 for the first time in my life. But if it’s something that I needed, and I couldn’t write out afford it, I would think of ways that I might be able to cut back or maybe not renew another subscription etc. Where there’s a will there’s a way and I understand money is tight for a lot of people especially now, so I’m going to pray and put out positive energy that if that is something that you want that it will come to you and you will be able to do it 😉💕🙏🦋

. I had a private session more than a year ago and it was invaluable. I just can’t do the annual plan at point in my life. I am aware that she offers quality content.

totally understand. What would you say the private session that was invaluable clarified or helped you with and what were the results of that? I'm just wondering because I was thinking about it for myself. I've spent so much money on substack over the last year and not gotten out of it what I thought I would have and it wasn't because I wasn't applying the knowledge with the suggestions or anything like that it just seems like everyone saying the same thing but in different ways. I have to spend my money wisely as well as everyone else and I was just wondering if you wanted to share. You could also DM me if you didn't wanna put it here. Thanks Ginni 🙏

She congratulated me on what was working and quickly pinpointed areas that needed improvement. She provided actionable suggestions. She streamlined and improved the name of my newsletter. And she saved me lots of hours trying to figure everything out for myself, assuming I could have done so.

Sarah, enthusiastic determination is your superpower❣️what excites me is that I don’t know what I don’t know and I love living on my learning edge. While I stumble around here (I’m 7 weeks in), I am making it a point to read Andrea Gibson every day, along with lots of new friends, as a gesture towards staying sane. This is a roller coaster I can learn to love.

Welcome Sandra you’re gonna love it here I promise! 💯 and I believe this is really one of the best publications to be on I’ve been here a year on July 18 and spent a lot of money I’ll just say and this seems to be the place to be and I’m ready to take it to the next level. Wish I had known Sarah back then, but I needed to learn the basics as I just started writing and have no formal education in it. I actually like change and look forward to everything that’s coming. Again, welcome to Substack 🤗💕🙏
