Hey, CEO Friend!

Transcript

Hello, everybody. Let me just make sure that I am live in the right place. Perfect, perfect. Can you guys hear me? Let's see. Yes, you guys can hear me. Awesome. Awesome.

Hello everybody.

So it is a countdown. Like I've started the countdown to Blog Hackers, the Doors to Blog Hackers Mastermind opening. It is one, two, three, four, five, six. It is, I was looking at my calendar, it is six more days until the Doors to Blog Hackers opens. And I'm really excited for you guys. So. Excuse me.

I want to remind you that I'm only taking 25 people for this cohort because I really want to be able to give generously of my time and be able to walk everyone through all the things that they need in order to set everything up and get their blogging, their writing, for whatever the writing, the blogging is that you want to do, whether it be to write or start your own magazine or if it's to write on Substack or to write on Beehive or for your WordPress website, your Wix, your Squarespace website, like whatever it is that you're wanting to write. I want to be able to give generously of my time.

So six more days and I'm really, really excited about that.

But what I wanted to talk to you today about is there's a question about a year and a half ago, almost two years ago when I started blogging that I asked myself and I know that like this was the question when I answered it, it was the question that popped off everything. Like it was the, the, it was, literally what set me into motion, it set me into action and whether you decide that writing is going to be for you after you ask yourself this question or not it doesn't matter. I just think that this question is going to be so helpful for you, like totally.

Okay so if you are driving and you're listening, you're here in the replay live, whatever the case is. If you can get a pen and paper and write this question down, it's going to be so helpful for you to kind of like commensurate in it and embody it and kind of think about it and and just really get into it. Or if you want to grab your the notes app on your phone and answer the question, like whatever way you want to do it. But I think that it's a really great thing if you actually take some time to really think about the question.

And this is probably going to be something that's going to be helpful for you to set yourself up for 2026 for what it is that you're wanting to accomplish in 2026 and beyond.

So you ready for the question? Are you ready?

Okay, so the question is, if you had or should I say if I let's say if I had 100k coming in every month on ease and flow, what would I be doing?

The reason why this question is so important is because it takes away the time component and it takes away the money component component, which are the two things that we like stress over the most as not just as entrepreneurs, but I think as people in careers and things like that, like it's just one of the things that is like very prominent in our lives.

So I'm going to ask the question again. If I had a hundred K coming in every month, with ease and flow, like literally, like you didn't have to like, you know, do crazy things for it. It was just coming in on ease and flow. What would I be doing? If I had a hundred K coming in every month on ease and flow, what would I be doing?

So for me, when I answered that question, what I said was, well, I'd be going to like different hotels, like, like not even like traveling to different places. Like I'm a spaces kind of person. I love spaces. I love them so much. It's just like the atmosphere, the ambiance, it really just does all the things for me.

So I said, I would be going to different hotels. I would be going to stay at swanky little inns, little mom and pop run bed and breakfast. I would go to five star hotels. I would go to the odd kind of hotel or motel that is like just like the weirdest thing ever. Like I'd just be staying at these different places.

And then I said, well, what would you be doing at these places? What would you be doing? And so my answer was I would be writing.

And I said, well, what would you write about? Would you write about your travels or the place that you're visiting? I mean, obviously, if you're staying in hotels, if you're going to these hotels, maybe you're not going for the particular what that place is known for, like for visitors.

Like, I live in Florida. So Orlando, obviously, people, the thing that's here is what? Disney World, you know, the Universal Studios, SeaWorld. People come here for those things but I wouldn't necessarily be going to those places for those things. I'd just be going because I want to experience the area, maybe stay in a really really nice hotel or something different, some kind of different space. I just want to experience the spaces.

Of course I might go to the Disney Worlds or whatever but I'm not going there for that reason. And so for that, because of that, I decided, well, I wouldn't be writing about my travels or anything like that. And I wouldn't even be writing about the hotels or anything like that. It's not like I would become, you know, someone that does reviews or things like that.

And I said, I'll just be writing about whatever it is that I felt like writing about. And that's how I started blogging.

When I started blogging I would not ever classify myself as a blogger or a writer or anything like that. As a matter of fact if you've ever been around me for longer than two minutes then you can understand I can barely string two sentence two words together together to make a sentence and obviously stuttering over my words so obviously I'm not a writer.

And so that kind of like threw me for a loop a little bit. It's like how are you going to write and like you're not a writer you've never taken any classes any courses you don't know anything about all the things. And so I did what most people do and they discount their ability to do things.

And what I think that we don't realize is that especially in this day and age, like literally you can learn to do anything that you want. You may not know what everything is going in, but you can learn. You can learn.

And it doesn't mean that you have to learn to the ability of an expert. Like I'm not going to be a journalist. I'm not going to, you know, be a professional writer. But I can learn to write in a way that is good enough to get the ideas and the experiences out of my head and share them with people.

And so one of the things that I was going through in my life at the time is I had a nine to five and I had a thyroid condition, which zapped a lot of my energy. And I'll tell you more about that in a minute about how blocking actually really helped me.

Um, well, setting up my business according to those two things. It really really helped me blogging really helped me with that. But and so I just started to look at well what is helpful for me and my energy levels, you know dealing with the thyroid condition? One of the biggest things that I deal with is insomnia and and fatigue.

And so I wanted to look at some of the opportunities that I had to help me with those situations. And so feminine energy was something that I started to study and implement in my life until that's just what I wrote about.

And I wanted to share with everyone what was working for me, what what are the things that I was learning I was trying in regards to feminine energy and the whole like like it was just like in my life. It wasn't just like, you know, to help me with my thyroid condition. It was just in a part of my life that I wanted to introduce into my life and start to live by.

So I started to write about it. And I did a live the other day. If you missed it, then please go back and watch it. But one of the things that I said in there is just like, you don't have to really know about what it is that you're wanting to write about.

You don't have to know what you want to build authority in or become an expert in or be seen in the industry as the go-to person for. You get to allow blogging to evolve with you as you evolve. Like it's one of the best things ever.

So I started to write about all the things, feminine energy and building a business around that and living around that and all of those different things. And as well as this year, 2025, the summer of 2025 in July to be exact, I started a magazine, Sundana Magazine, which is geared towards black women and us returning to the, um, the, the, uh, the, the african ancestral ways of living and being and bringing those things into our lives because that was something that I started I wanted to experience I was looking at for my own self I was bringing into my own world and so I just said well if I'm wanting to learn about these things, then there are other people that want to as well.

But I didn't want to do it in a blog. I decided to do it as a magazine, like literally whatever way that you want to write. It's just the way that you want to write whatever platform you want to put it on. It's just the platform that you want to put it on.

But if you're anything like me, like I said, and I was just like, I'm not a writer, what am I doing? So as I continue to write and get things out there and learn and grow and just being able to just get comfortable with pushing writing and then pushing publish, hitting the publish button on my blog, because at the time it was not the magazine, it was just my mornings like this blog, morningslikethis.com, go look at it.

And I started to develop a way to get the ideas out of my head and the way that I wanted to talk about things. And I started using AI to help me with that. And so then my writing became super easy because I was literally getting my thoughts out of my head and onto the document.

And it was just so easy when I was using the system that I developed with AI. So ChatTPT, to be specific, is what I use to help me with my blogging, getting the concepts that I want to talk about or the things that I'm using in my life or in my business, and it helping me to actually string two words together to make a sentence. It's been magnificent for me.

It actually has helped me to be so confident. Like when I look back at my blog, it's just like, dang, like this is like a masterclass over here because the thoughts that I have, like if I'm just even talking about my experiences of the day, like what happened to me my 9 to 5 or what happened when I was talking to a friend or what I learned through a video that I watched or a book that I read or you know I joined a book club and so I started talking about some of the things like in a book club and like all of these things like you just content for you like your life is content right but sometimes I translating what it is that you want to say through all the experiences that you're having through your your days your your months you're talking to people you're you know being in facebook groups whatever it's a little bit difficult sometimes especially when you're hung up on i'm not a writer.

So that's why in blog hackers I teach you the AI framework that I use to get the thoughts out of my head and onto the document. When I say document, I'm really talking about whatever platform, you know, the sub stack, the blog, the magazine, the whatever it is that you're doing.

So, um, so that really, really helped me. And I know that that's going to really, really help you.

So as I started to go about my blogging, what I recognize is that it created a beautiful pathway for me in setting me up for doing things in a way that was conducive to how my brain worked and also conducive to the capacity that I had with having a nine to five and a thyroid condition.

So what I mean by that is that I naturally developed a rhythm for myself for writing and blocking. If you are looking at it like or should I say blogging, let me start over. Blogging will allow you to look at the capacity that you have in your life and it adjusts to that.

It's not like your life is adjusting to the blogging like your system, your blogging is adjusting to your life. I work a nine to five. I don't always have capacity to do all the things that you would do or people would teach you to do in your business.

That's the last thing that I want to do sometimes is come home from work and run an entire business, especially when I have fatigue issues, you know, from my thyroid condition. I just I don't have capacity for it.

And so blogging has allowed me to build a business around my capacity. It's just been so amazing for me like literally I've just I'm always blown away by how it all came together like so naturally it's just like no this is what you can do this is what you have capacity for this is what you don't have capacity for so it just allowed me to prioritize the things that were important and things that weren't important and it just created a rhythm that was succinct to my own thinking, the way that I think, the way that my brain works and the lifestyle that I have.

I think that is just the most important thing because sustainability is so important, especially when you're talking about building a business. It is just super, super important. So it has allowed me to be sustainable.

If you have been around here, on this facebook page for a while like you can literally scroll back through all my stuff you can see all of the businesses that i've had all of the projects the offers and all the things that i've sold and this is the thing that has lasted the longest because it's just so simple and easy it works with my life like i don't have to try to like um fit my life into this particular business. It's the other way around, like it fits into my life.

It's just like they, it's almost like a puzzle piece and it just clink, it just linked in. LinkedIn, that's funny. It just linked in, right? It just clicked right on in, just like a puzzle piece was, it fit perfectly.

That is something that you can do to like blogging really allows you to do that. And I say blogging, but when I say blogging, I mean, writing, I mean, sub stack, I mean, writing on Substack or whatever medium, wherever it is that you wanting to write on, write at, I mean, newsletters, I mean, on beehive, I mean, creating a magazine for yourself, like I did, like writing, wherever it is, blogging, writing.

So I don't want you to get hung up on blogging. Like, that's just my thing. Like, I like to blog. But if you are wanting writing to be in a different kind of a format on your, like I said, in something like a medium platform or something like a magazine type of thing that you're building or just...

Whatever if it's magazine articles or whether it's a newsletter on Beehive on kit on I mean mail. What is it? Mail What's the other one not MailChimp? But the other one if you remember if you know what I'm talking about I can't remember what the other one was but anyway like all a lot of these email marketing platforms nowadays they have the the the opportunity for you to have like paid newsletters you know you can do them for free you can do from paid whatever it is so a lot of them have that going on now so if you want to do something like that like whatever it is the writing the wherever it is that you're the platforms that you're wanting to use it doesn't matter the platform it's the system that I'm giving you and that's the one thing that I needed when I was first starting out was and I think that's the biggest problem that we have we don't realize it though or at least I didn't realize it.

Is that I thought that, oh my gosh, I don't have time to write. Oh my gosh, I don't know how to write. Like spinning in what kind of topics to talk about, what's the right way to do things. Like all of those things kept me stuck.

And I'm sure it's keeping you stuck too. If you are trying to blog or write or do, you know, the word thing, then it's probably keeping you stuck. And what you're thinking is that you need more time. You think that you need topics. You think that you need all of these things. But really just all that you need is just a system.

And that is the most amazing news. I hope that you can see that is that there's nothing wrong with you. It's just you just don't have a system that supports you. That's it. That is what I found to be the most truth, is that I just needed a system that supported me the way I think, my lifestyle, things like that.

And that's what Blog Hackers gives you, is a system that allows you to link in, to have your puzzle pieces sync up together, match up and the way your brain thinks the way that you do things the lifestyle that you have the capacity that you have or you don't have it just allows for that.

So the system in blog hackers is where we are first going to go through the month one of setting up everything so there are because i use chat gpt that's what i teach the ai that i teach in there and we set up everything in chat gpt so that you can just go go go.

We're doing that in month one. We're also looking at like what what's your story like I just told you some of my story about how I didn't I asked myself that one question which of course I want you to ask yourself that question if you feel like sharing then please go ahead and put it in the comments I'd love to know what came up for you for with asking yourself the question that I asked in the beginning so um.

So that's part of my story. And when you are looking at your story and allowing it to mesh with ChatGPT and the way that I set things up for you or teach you how to set things up, I should say I'm not going to set it up for you, but I'm going to walk you through setting it up.

But then it just allows for the the. The blogging to be yours. It allows it to resonate. It allows it to resonate with the people who are reading. It allows it to to feel like you and sound like you.

It allows your ideals, what you stand for, what you don't stand for, to be something that you don't have to keep repeating all the time with ChatGPT. So we go through and we set that up and then I teach you the most amazing framework for getting the thoughts out of your head and onto the document it is the most amazing framework i'm telling you so easy so so easy we do all of that in the first month you're gonna absolutely love what you learn oh my gosh you're gonna love it you're gonna love it so much because right now.

I think that the myth is, is that you have to blog in a particular kind of way with SEO and you have to have this and that and all the things. And that might have been true like years ago, but that's just not true anymore, especially with the way the AI is just like all over the place these days.

And it's like something that is like literally, you know, in the forefront is taking taking over the world. And so one of the things that I teach you in there is how to write for AI.

And how to set up your blog post so that if you think about the way that people are searching, if they are using a lot of ai which they are to do to to do their research that they're asking ai questions whether it's gemini or um chat gpt or clart or whatever right then the answers that are being pulled when people are using these systems these tools they come from things like blog posts.

So unlike where Google, you ask it a question, it's going to give you all of these different links. That's not what AI usually does. It gives you one or two answers that is pulling from one or two links, like the most prominent things.

So one of the ways that we can start to look at... Getting our information pulled from those types of systems is the way that we set up our blog posts. That's something that I teach you as well. In month one, we set up all of those things.

And then in month two, we're looking at blog formula, blog title formulas. And it's like a blog title generator that I give you, I set it up. And this is also gonna be in ChatGPT, I'm telling you.

Like if you think that you don't have time when you set all this stuff up, you're gonna be peachy keen. Just peachy, peachy, okay? You gotta be snatched, as they say, as the kids say. Snatched, you gotta be snatched. It's so amazing.

Now this blog title generator, or blog title formula, as I like to call it, it allows you to have so many different topics again when we are looking at what we're setting up in month one we're setting up according to what it is that you're wanting to talk about and if you don't know what you want to talk about like you want what you want to be known for anything something like that it doesn't matter you start with where you are where you are is just perfectly fine.

Again, when you're blogging, when you're writing, it's a tool that gets to grow with you. It gets to evolve with you. As you evolve, it evolves. As you elevate, it elevates. As you grow, it grows. So it gets to bend with you. It's very flexible.

And so that's one of the reasons why you don't have to know what it is that you want to write about or what you want to be known for going in because it doesn't matter. It will bend. It will move with you.

So we look at the topics and from the topics, then we put in the formulas for the blog title formula and it's going to give you so many things to write about. Literally, I can like look at how. Before before I tell you go on what every all of this is on the platform that it's on is is on notion.

So I've created a complete notion template for you. So you can have all of these things in one spot. You have all of your blog posts in one spot. You get to use the information that you pull over into ChatGPT, and then you just literally just have your blog post titles and things that you want to write about. You can put it right there in your Notion dashboard.

It's your blogging hub, and then it even becomes a business hub because there's a space for what your offers are, what your tasks, what tasks you're working on, for that particular week it's just the most brilliant thing i think i'm going to do a um a screen share one of this one of these days this week so that you can see what mine looks like and you can see exactly what it is i'm talking about anyway um.

So everything is housed in the the notion board so when you have or i can i'm going to tell you what my examples have been when i have a when i've done the blog title uh formula and i and it's come up with all these different ideas for me to write on and i can just plop them right into my dashboard and then i can literally just use what i call flow notes to get the thoughts out of my head onto the document and boom copy and paste what i've written in notion what i've come up with in notion into whatever the platform is that you're going to be writing or blogging on substack your your magazine articles your beehive your your um squarespace or wordpress wix website wherever wherever it is like that's up to you where you're going to be putting all this stuff at anyway so then in the third month.

It's all about accountability. One of the things that I found is that whenever I'm in a program, one of the best things ever is support. Like you're gonna have questions, your mind is going to tell you all of the crazy things.

And I want to be able to be there to help you answer any questions if we need to tweak some things to help you have a better flow or something or if you're not understanding how to work a thing like accountability not just um just the support but the accountability to help you keep going once you've gotten everything set up in month one once you're starting to blog in month two and then i want to i want you to keep going so i'm there for you throughout the month of the third month to help you we get on q a calls three times that in the last month to help you uh keep going and we also have.

A um a support group on the volley app so you can have access to the other members that are are in your cohort when support each other ask each other questions and i think i said this in the other video one of the things that i love being in programs.

Are the people that I meet, like really building relationships with these people, collaborating with them. It's just like so much fun to be with people who are on the same journey as you, especially as entrepreneurs.

A lot of times we don't have those kind of relationships and connections in our regular life because people aren't doing what we're doing. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to have like minded people in your life that understand what you're going through and have this drive to get their businesses off the ground and to do the things and to just to move it is beautiful so i wanted to just tell you all of this and give you a little bit about my story and how it probably is very similar to yours with thinking like um.

Especially I'm not a huge huge social media person even though i'm on here doing facebook lives. I literally just kind of started doing this because I really wanted to touch bases with you. I really wanted you to know and understand that if you're looking at something like blogging as a marketing device for you or a marketing tool, it really is the most amazing space for you to be in.

It is something that is sustainable. It is something that you can literally do at two o'clock in the morning or in the bathtub when you're. When you are soaking in with all your bubbles and your wine, like literally it really is because a lot of it I do right from my phone.

Exactly right. What? Yes, yes, exactly. A lot of it I do right from my phone, which you learn how to do. Where? In blog hackers.

Okay, that is all that I have for you today. If you have any questions or you want to hop on a call to see if blog hackers is right for you, then please feel free to DM me or leave comments below. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

FAQ/s

What sparked your blogging journey?

It started with one powerful question: “If I had 100K coming in every month with ease and flow, what would I be doing?” The answer—writing in beautiful spaces—ignited my entire blogging path.

No! I didn’t see myself as a writer at all. Blogging grows with you, and AI tools like ChatGPT make it easy to turn your thoughts into clear, meaningful content—even if writing feels intimidating.

How did blogging fit into your 9–5 and low energy levels?

Blogging became a sustainable outlet because it adapts to your capacity. With insomnia, fatigue, and limited time from my 9–5, I built a rhythm that fit my life instead of forcing myself into hustle culture.

What do you write about?

I began by writing about feminine energy, healing, and building a business that aligned with my lifestyle. My writing naturally evolved into creating Sundana Magazine for Black women embracing ancestral wisdom.

How does AI help with writing?

AI helps translate your ideas, experiences, and voice into structured content. My framework uses ChatGPT to extract thoughts, organize them, and create blog posts, newsletters, or articles with ease.

Do I need a niche before I start blogging?

No. Your blog evolves as you evolve. You can start with your current interests, experiences, or personal journey, and your niche will naturally refine itself over time.

Blog Hackers is a 3-month mastermind where I teach you my AI-powered writing system, help you build a Notion content hub, support you as you publish regularly, and guide you in creating sustainable content that matches your capacity.

No. The system works for blogs, Substack, Beehive, newsletters, magazines, or any writing platform you choose.

Can I blog entirely from my phone?
