I'm an online marketing expert and New York Times bestselling author who helps entrepreneurs like you build online businesses.

They knew they had haters. They laughed. Here’s why.

April 14, 2026

Today's Lineup:

  • What 23 eight-figure women in the woods taught me about risk, speed, and hatersÂ đŸ€Ż
  • The stat about LinkedIn that made me immediately text my whole team đŸ€Ż 👀
  • The AI tool that finds your best content while you just… talk đŸŽ™ïž

This past weekend, I got together with eight-figure women in a house in the woods outside Nashville. đŸŒČ

We talked about how we handle haters, highly risky business moves, and spilled secrets on AI “employees” like it was Summer House gossip. (Some Summer House gossip was also exchanged.)

I took notes on all of it. 📝

The stats → 23 female founders. All different niches and business models.

But the one thing we all had in common is that we are running a high seven- or eight-figure business online.

I shared about my experience in this post.

But here are my practical takeaways from this weekend. Steal every bit of it.

🧗 They take a lot of risks.
Like, a lot of risks. But they mitigate that risk by getting extremely clear about the outcome they want. They’re willing to take a hard swing, even if it’s uncomfortable. What risky decision have you been sitting on? Finding your nerve might be the thing that puts you in that higher-tier league. 

🔬 They test faster than most people think is possible.
An idea on Monday is tested by Tuesday. They’re not spending weeks writing a “perfect” page, they’re launching a short, clear, “good enough” one. If you tend to overthink everything, you're leaving sales on the table. Failing faster means succeeding faster.

🔍 They let AI find their content gold.
Because they’re recording everything. Or rather, AI is. From team meetings to coaching calls to casual Slack conversations, they’re letting AI track and pull the off-the-cuff gold worth bringing into their content. Keep reading for the tool they’re using! 

đŸ€– They automate every repeatable task and build AI employees.
They prioritize building out Claude Skills and optimizing Claude Cowork. They create AI employees so they don't have to hire for every role. Callan Faulkner was in that room, and she is pure AI gold. I highly recommend following her; she will blow your mind.

💅 They have zero time for haters.
Every woman in that room has been criticized or talked about online. But there was a common thread that kept them neutral to the hate. And that is that they love money more than they love drama. They know every minute spent on a hater is a minute they're not making more of it.

The Edge Every High-Earner in That Room Already Has


Okay, so, risk. It’s what high-earning females live and breathe.

But if you struggle to embrace risk? Turns out, you’re a human being. đŸ«€ Staying safe is our basic biology, but courage is a skill that can be learned.

And my friend, Amy Purdy, literally wrote the book on it.

Amy is a double amputee, Paralympic gold medalist, Dancing with the Stars runner-up, and a walking billboard for choosing boldness, despite the voices telling you that you can’t. (Including your own.)

In her book, Bounce Forward: 21 Tools to Live a Life Beyond Limits, Amy writes that courage is a choice you make every single time you put yourself out there. 

Just a few weeks ago, we met up in Nashville for an author’s mastermind.

It was instantly clear to me that the tools Amy shares in her book are exactly what every entrepreneur needs to find the courage to go for it. Grab it here.

Your LinkedIn Posts Are Now Showing Up in AI Answers đŸ’Ż


This announcement just dropped, and I immediately sent it to my team.

‌ LinkedIn is now the number one most-cited domain for professional search queries across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI, and more.

Posts, articles, and newsletters make up 35% of all LinkedIn citations inside ChatGPT responses. That number doubled in just three months.

Translation: when someone asks an AI tool a question in your niche, your LinkedIn content could be the answer they get.

What's getting cited?

Practical, specific content from people who post consistently on one core topic. So stop worrying about perfectly produced graphics, and focus instead on real data and expertise, shared regularly.

Start now. The window is open and it won't stay this wide forever.

The AI Tool Founders Can’t Live Without đŸ”„


Earlier, I mentioned the Nashville mastermind women record everything and let AI find the gold. 

The tool they’re using? It’s called Granola. It sits in the background of your computer and records your audio without a bot ever joining your call. đŸŽ€

When the conversation ends, it turns everything into organized, searchable notes.

Then you can literally chat with the transcript and ask it to pull out your best ideas, hooks, or stories. đŸ™ŒđŸ»

You're already naturally having conversations worth capturing, Granola simply puts it in pen and ink.

Nice chat! Let’s do it again next week.

Until then, do the risky thing, post on LinkedIn and let AI do your promoting, let a Paralympic gold medalist remind you what courage actually looks like, and remember that every woman in that room laughed her haters all the way to the bank. 💰

P.S. I raised my price and lost 49 customers overnight. đŸ˜± I didn’t change the program, the audience, or how I marketed. Just the price. I blamed the number for months before I finally figured out what actually went wrong. This week's episode is the conversation I wish I'd had before that launch. 🎧 Listen here →

In the last 16 years, I've quit my job, started and scaled my own business to $120 million, become a New York Times Best Selling Author, and taught over 100,000 students how to build a business they love. I've learned more than a thing or two and The Amy Porterfield Show is where I get to open my playbook, yearbook, and entrepreneurial diary to share them with you!
