What a week! We officially kicked off The Escapepreneur Summit and I have to say… it’s been even better than I imagined when the idea first came to life. I’ve been buzzing seeing so many of our Gold Star Pro crew show up live — and a big shoutout to those of you who’ve already started referring your friends. It means the world!

The sessions so far have been packed with gold (seriously, my notebook is already full), and we’ve got more brilliance coming up this week. I’ll share a sneak peek below so you can plan what to tune into next.

Let’s dive in!

The Escapepreneur Summit Is On — And These Sessions Are Game-Changers!

The Escapepreneur Summit is in full swing, and as a Gold Star Pro user, you’re in the perfect place to take what you learn and turn it into action fast.

Honestly, I’m struggling to pick which sessions to recommend — the value has been so high across the board. And I’m not just saying that! These sessions have changed my life! 

As a small business owner, I strongly recommend you check out these sessions… (rememeber, they’re 100% free!)

⭐ Session 16 – From Inbox to Income with Terri Sassone
If your email list feels like a dead-end, this is the session that will flip the script. Terri shares how to build trust, nurture relationships, and actually turn subscribers into paying clients — no gimmicks, just smart, ethical strategy. It’s ideal for GSP users who want to make their email marketing actually pay off.

⭐ Session 17 – Lead Magnets That Convert with Kennedy
Sick of people downloading your freebie and vanishing? Kennedy dives into how to create a lead magnet that attracts people who are already thinking about buying. You'll learn what makes an opt-in irresistible and how to build a list that’s not just big — but full of people who stick around and take action.

⭐ Session 18 – Serve, Don’t Sell with Lizelle De Kock
Sales don’t have to feel icky. In this session, Lizelle shows you how to make sales feel natural by shifting your mindset from pitching to helping. If you've ever felt awkward promoting yourself, this one’s a mindset refresh and a practical guide all in one.

⭐ Session 25 – The Email Marketing Game with Terri Sassone
You’ve heard me harp on about email marketing and why deliverability really matters. But in this session, my dear friend Terri — who’s generated over $30 million in revenue through email for her clients — breaks down exactly how the rules have changed in 2025. If you want to stop landing in spam and start landing sales, this is essential viewing for every GSP user.

⭐ Session 27 – The Business of Being YOU with Persia Lawson
If you’ve ever felt pressure to be more “professional” or “polished” than you really are, Persia’s here to give you permission to drop the act. She shares how building real, human relationships — just by being yourself — can grow your business faster than any cold pitch or sales script ever could.

⭐ Session 28 – The Power of Your Money Vibe with Jackie Woodside
You can have the strategy, the systems, and the hustle — but if your energy around money is off, progress stays stuck. Jackie shows you how to shift your mindset and your energy to start attracting more income without pushing harder. It’s deep, powerful, and incredibly actionable.

⭐ Session 30 – Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time with Christine Oftner
What if your productivity isn’t about your calendar, but your capacity? Christine walks you through how to plan your day based on energy — not endless to-do lists. This session is especially powerful if you constantly feel “on” but like you’re not actually moving forward. Real talk for real change.

The truth is: every single session has something powerful to offer. And the best part? You’ve got access to all of them.

Know Someone Who Wants More Out of Life? Share the Summit & Get Rewarded

Even if you haven’t tuned into The Escapepreneur Summit yet, you can still be part of something powerful — by helping others take the first step toward creating a life they truly love.

This summit is for anyone who’s ready for more — more freedom, more purpose, more life. It’s packed with free, practical sessions designed to help people turn what they already know, love, and believe in… into something they can build a life around. Whether they’re a coach, creative, freelancer, or just someone who’s tired of the 9–5 grind — this could be the spark they’ve been waiting for.

And the best part? When you refer someone using your personal link (as shown below), if someone registers and later joins GSP (within the next 12 months) you’ll earn recurring commission — and you don’t need to mention Gold Star Pro at all!

It’s a no-pressure, genuinely helpful way to support someone’s journey and earn some extra income along the way.

You never know whose life you’ll change just by pointing them in the right direction.

Easier Customer Access with New Login Options

Giving your customers a smoother way to log into their accounts is now possible with Gold Star Pro’s new login settings.

You can choose between email-only login or the traditional email and password combination, depending on what fits your business needs. This helps businesses offer a quicker and more convenient experience, especially for frequent buyers.

Keep Documents Up-to-Date with Expiry Dates

Staying on top of important documents is now easier with Gold Star Pro’s new document expiry feature.

You can add expiration dates to uploaded files, so you’re automatically reminded when it’s time to update things like contracts, certifications, or compliance paperwork. This update is a great tool for businesses that rely on keeping accurate and timely records.

Smarter Google Ads Tools Now in Gold Star Pro

New Way to Track Rescheduled Appointments

Managing changes to your calendar just became much simpler, Gold Star Pro now tracks every time an appointment is rescheduled.

You can quickly see when a booking was changed, who made the change, and what the previous time was. This helps reduce confusion, keeps your team on the same page, and gives you a clearer picture of client behavior over time.

It's a simple tool that can make a big difference in managing busy schedules, especially for businesses that rely on regular bookings.

Chat Widget Now Follows Cookie Consent Settings

If your business collects visitor consent for cookies, you’ll appreciate this update, our chat widget now respects those preferences.

That means if a visitor hasn’t accepted cookies, the chat won’t load; keeping you aligned with privacy regulations like GDPR.

This update helps build trust with site visitors and ensures you’re not accidentally tracking users who haven’t given permission.

Easier Email Campaign Management with Streamlined Settings

Creating and editing email campaigns in GSP just got more user-friendly.

We've cleaned up the layout and grouped related settings together, making it quicker to find what you need when editing or creating a campaign.

Whether you're sending a newsletter or promoting a sale, these changes save you time and reduce the chance of missing important details, perfect for busy business owners handling their own marketing.

Set Manual Expiry Dates for Email Templates

Now you can keep your emails relevant without constant cleanup, Gold Star Pro lets you set manual expiry dates for templates.

Whether it's a seasonal promotion or a limited-time offer, the template will automatically deactivate after your chosen date, helping you avoid sending outdated messages.

It's a handy way to keep your email library clean and your messaging current.

Temporary Magic Links Make Login Easier and Safer

Accessing your GSP account securely is now even more convenient thanks to temporary magic links.

These one-time links are time-limited and expire quickly, which helps protect your account while keeping the login process simple.

It's a small change that brings big peace of mind, particularly if you're often on the go or switching between devices.
