Drafting the next part of the platform journey, all about purpose and making priorities to spend your time in line with your values. Money and AI are enablers to build a more purposeful life 💪

That's where "The most important business you will ever run is your life" tagline fits in. ❤️

One of my many learnings about teaching others is that you have to make things super relevant to them and their daily life and work.

That's why in lesson 1 of the AI journey, users are invited to think about 3 things in their daily life they'd like to outsource and 3 things they dream of but never got round to or didn't think were possible.

During the rest of the AI journey they are invited to go back to that list and apply what they just learnt to it.

And of course I also love going through them and give individual tips based on their answers.

First responses are super energizing to me, confirming my choice to not just focus on financial education but include AI. They are already feeling a lot of pptential from the first lessons. Love it!

A beautiful example of the impact the platform is making:

'These journeys made finance feel less complicated and much more accessible. They switched something on in me: I now take ownership, build my knowledge and use AI as a practical tool to move forward. I feel more confident, more independent and far better equipped to stay in control of my financial future." Monique (63)

When users start their free onboarding journey, they get an intake, with a self assessment how they feel right now about money and AI.

I ran the same intake measurement with the pioneers and did the same self assessment after they did the 10 lessons from the money journey (AI journey is still ongoing for them).

I consciously did not share their baseline measurement with them so they gave their scores fully as they felt it now.

Most amazing result apart from all the transformational stories that gave me goosebumps?

On average, in the 6 weeks pilot, their scores on their knowledge about topics like inflation, purchasing power and investing, when from 4.1 to 7.1 on a scale of 1 to 10!

This knowledge contributed to them feeling way more confident to take action and feel in control of their financial future 💪

Recently I've been more conscious in making choices in surrounding myself with people who inspire me, who also believe that we CAN make a difference in the world.

One decision in line with this is that I'm joining the high impact 10 week coaching journey with @Daniel Batten and 3 fellow builders.

Starting July 9th, let's go!

Today marks the 24 years celebration when my husband and I walked into each other's lives. I was 24 when we met, so literally half of my live together this year and by far the best half it has been. Thank you for helping me grow and for enhancing my wings to impact the world! ❤️

Was nice to join the first community call with the team from @Bringin | The Complete ₿itcoin App! Been a pioneer for over a year I think and love how they are enabling people in Europe to actually live on a bitcoin standard. I even was inspired to maybe do such a session with my Be Your Own CEO pioneers as well! Keep up the great work @Prashanth and team!

One of the beautiful quotes from the women participating as pioneers of the Be Your Own CEO platform showing the profound impact we are making:

"I've been an entrepreneur for most of my life. I've experienced the highs of success and the lows of losing it all, and I've learned countless lessons along the way. But if I'm honest, I always carried a hidden belief that real wealth belonged to others. People who knew more, had more, or simply started from a different place than I did. This journey is changing that. It's helping me understand not just money, AI and Bitcoin, but also the stories I've been telling myself for decades. Since joining this platform, wealth no longer feels like something reserved for other people. It feels like a possibility for me too." - José (66)

I love to create, to build, to see I make a difference to others. Bow the platform is ready to share with the world, it's time of a different phase. Yes still building and improving but also making sure the world knows the platform is alive. I have built concepts and products before and this stage is the part where I run the risk of going back to my building comfort zone.

My goal this week is to send a personal message to 20 warm contacts. Monday I did, yesterday I didn't. Wasn't feeling the energy to make those sincere connections. Might need to go back to the tiny habits filosophy I use to work with companies to change behaviors. Better 5 heartfelt messages done, then 20 half. Now time to jump in the car and focus on my consulting work, after that I'm committing to 5 reach outs today 💪

Yesterday one of the pioniers (Chris, 66) started testing Mini CEO for kids 8-11 with her grand son (10) and Tiny CEO for kids 4 to 7 with her grand daughter (4).

Interesting points of feedback:

- He was really curious to learn how we as society decide what is money

- He was curious enough to keep going (normally easily distracted), he liked the assignments

- When Chris asked at the end: how do you feel about this app? Good, boring, all is fine! He responded: "I like it". Why? "Because we are talking about money instead of other bullshit". To then run outside leaving grandma and parents flabbergasted 😁

- The little one, when asked where she thinks money come from, she responded without hesitation: "from a factory!" Also she loved talking about this with grandma

So we continue learning and building!
