Well, as the month comes to a close, so does our stay in Cyprus.
As many of you know, we have a second home out here and visit for a month at a time, but this time felt really special, largely because our son and his fiancée visited for 10 days, and I actually took that time off work and loved it! Sightseeing, water park, diving, beach days, and lovely meals together... ah, it was lovely! 🥰
Why do I share this?
Partly to be transparent and confess that I haven't got it all sorted and I'm not good at taking time off, and also to challenge you if you're wired the same as me.
We can get so obsessed with running an online business, there are always 20+ 'must-do' things screaming for our attention, but you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to carve out some time, step away from your computer and enjoy life.
I hope this helps, please shoot me a reply if you needed to hear this 🙋♂️
New this month...
So, aside from some downtime, Owen and I have been researching and starting to build a new course called the 'Pro Studio Formula'. 🤫
It's going to be a lite version of IMPACT, helping content creators build professional DIY Home Studios, with a real focus on designing backgrounds.
Hopefully, we'll have something ready to share with you by the next newsletter!
Oh YouTube, what have you done...
A few months back I told you how you guys over in the states had a new 'Inspiration' tab, and from the examples I saw, it looked pretty awesome!
Well, this month it rolled out to the EU and UK among other countries, so I was super excited to head over to my control panel and give it a whirl...
And here's the best suggestions it came up with...
See that third one?
Yep, you saw it right, 'Ecamm Live for Mac vs Windows: Which is better?'
For those of you who don't know what Ecamm is, it's a MAC ONLY software! ... So how did AI come up with a title like this!?!
When I clicked for more help with this video, it just got worse.
I don't get how this can get it so wrong, to give me an outline saying I should compare the unique features on the Mac VS the PC version, and it actually suggests some, so where did it get this info?
I love me some AI help but sadly at times like this it lets itself down badly. So maybe us humans aren't quite redundant just yet.
Kajabi news this month...
This is less of an update list (because there haven't been any significant ones), and more of a WARNING!
Did you see that a whole bunch of Facebook groups got shut down last week - some with hundreds of thousands of members!
Here's my good friend Mari Smith's post about it:
 |
This is a real warning against hosting your communities on others' platforms!
Meanwhile, I'm happy to report that with all our communities off Facebook and in Kajabi, I feel happier than ever about my decision to invest in Kajabi.
In fact, we now use almost ALL of Kajabi's features!
We use it for:
- Our website
- Courses
- Coaching Calls (including their scheduler)
- Communities
- Newsletter
- Payments
... and I'm sure I missed something 🤔
When people suggest that the $149-$199/month tag puts them off, they have no idea how powerful Kajabi is, and that one subscription covers SO much!
Not on Kajabi? You can take a 30-day trial through our affiliate link and gain free access to our support and our Kajabi community! More details here.
Our new videos this month...
I've got a couple of new videos to share this month. This first one has gone down really well and features our home in Cyprus.
'If I rebuilt my home studio from scratch, I'd do this.'
|
Then last week we uploaded a comparison between two cameras.

Coming up in the next month...
Well, as I said earlier, Owen and I will be busy creating a new course, while still working on posting regular YouTube content.
Thanks for reading this. I hope you found it useful, and as ever if you have any feedback or suggestions, please hit reply and let us know.
Best wishes,
Adrian Salisbury
