the end of WAIM Unlimited? 😱

GS #40: Kickstart your next launch plan in 5 minutes with this AI prompt

​
what we're up to:

👋 Some very big news over here that we shared on the podcast recently: June will be the last time we offer enrollment in WAIM Unlimited. 😱

That’s right—we’re pivoting our entire business model… with a baby on the way. 😬 Are we a little bit nuts? Possibly. 😅 But we’re also incredibly excited.

A huge part of running a calm business isn’t just about having a predictable and profitable model (though that’s important). It’s about consistently checking in to ask:

Does this still feel fulfilling? Is this still aligned with who we’re becoming in this season of life?

And right now, we’re craving new challenges that meet the moment of 2025 and beyond. That means letting go of something that’s worked for a long time in order to make space for what’s next. That's what evolving your business as you evolve looks like.

We talk much more about the why behind this decision and what we’re planning in podcast episodes 240 and 242, if you want the full behind-the-scenes breakdown.

Going forward, though, we’ll be taking you along for the ride as we figure out how to make this pivot in real time. It’s going to be a little messy (we don’t have all the answers yet), but that’s what this newsletter is all about: giving you a transparent look at what it really takes to build an online business that fuels a spacious, fulfilling life.

Now, on to our AI Prompt of the Week designed to make your Calm Creator Business more Predictable, Profitable, and Peaceful!

- Jason and Caroline

an ai prompt for more predictability 🔄

Does planning a live launch of your offer feel completely overwhelming? Try this AI prompt for a calm, controlled start to your launch plan.

Let’s be real: launching is... A LOT.

For years, every time we sat down to prep our next big launch period, it felt like we were piecing together a puzzle from scratch. That's because we didn't have a system (and it showed.)

Building a repeatable launch system (like the one we teach you in Calm Launch Formula) is such a game-changer. Not just for saving time, but for reducing the mental weight of wondering “what am I forgetting?”

This prompt is designed to help you start building your own system. It'll help you outline the core phases, milestones, and tasks that go into your live launches so you can create a plug-and-play game plan to follow again and again.

Copy and paste this prompt into your favorite AI chat tool like ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity. Replace anything highlighted in brackets with your own business context to get a high-quality, tailor-made response. The more information and background you give the chat, the more helpful your responses will be!

​

I’m a solo creator planning a live launch for [type of offer] to [target audience]. I’ve launched before, but I’m ready to turn this into a more repeatable system that doesn’t feel so chaotic every time.
​
Can you help me map out a calm, high-level launch framework that includes:
​
1. Key phases (pre-launch, launch, post-launch) and categories of tasks (offer prep, emails, pre-launch content, sales page, etc.)
​
2. Start a short task list for each that I can customize with my launch tasks
​
3. Typical milestones and timelines for each phase
​
4. Suggestions for organizing everything in one place (right now my tool of choice is: [your product management tool, Google Docs, Notion, etc.]
​
5. Tips to simplify so I don’t burn out repeating this process
​
I typically give myself [insert weeks] of prep time BEFORE my pre-launch runway begins, and I’d like this to feel more like a process I can refine over time, not reinvent with every launch.

If you try this prompt this week, we’d LOVE to hear how it helped you. Seriously, hit reply and let us know what came up for you! 👍

In this episode, we answer your questions about our decision to retire WAIM Unlimited after one final enrollment (coming in June). We share how we’re feeling about the money side of things, why we’re letting go of something so valuable, and whether this shift will make our business feel less calm.

GS #39: Reframe Self-Doubt and Launch Hesitation with This AI Prompt what we're up to: 👋 Unfortunately, I (Caroline, here) came down with a tiny cold last week 😩, so we tried to take it easy around here and scale back work just a bit to allow for plenty of time for rest. In between two doctor's appointments (Baby Z is doing well!), I was able to keep up with our simple Instagram content schedule for now, and I'm honestly having a great time creating content again. I forgot how much I love the...
