Get your typing fingers ready.... it's Friend Friday!!!! That means that IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, you get to shout out a group that has provided value to you or that you think others would benefit from. But don't just drop a link, give us some context. Let us know what it's amazing, how it has helped you, or what type of person it's meant for. Then tag the person or send them a DM to let them know that you mentioned them here! You'll make their weeking - I promise. 😊 Unfortunately, shoutouts that are posted in the main feed will be deleted. Have a great weekend!

11 days ago, I had zero members on Skool. Today, we're approaching Top 100 in the Money category. I didn't have a massive following. I am yet to share on any of my socials, and I haven't had a team promoting for me. Here's what I've done: — Posted ~3-5 times per day on avg. — Lead with value and be personable — Welcomed every single new member — Rewarded the early members publicly — Announced something exciting almost daily The result? 450+ members. 7,000+ engagements. And momentum I can feel. The biggest lesson? People don't just want content. They want to feel like they're part of something being built. Start messy. Build in public, and the audience will come. A question I have for the group though -- at what point did you make your community paid? I'm trying to figure out the right timing. Do I flip the switch at 1,000 members? 2,000? Or is it less about the number and more about something else? For those of you who've done this before; what worked? What would you do differently? Drop your thoughts below. I'd love to learn from the group. 👇

What is happening in your group that we won’t want to miss out on. What’s the benefit members get from that event? 4. Provide a link to join your group. 5. Comment on two other posts! Ask questions, give support, share thoughts. 😊 This is a bonus post, so you get two today! Have a terrific Saturday. 🏒

Hey everyone! This shift has helped me a lot to become a better communicator and community leader overall. Most entrepreneurs ramble because they’re thinking about themselves. Shift your focus to the listener and the message sharpens instantly. Great communicators speak from service, not self-consciousness. We go in more depth inside our COMMUNITY. Hope to see you there! Have a great weekend! Ivan
