If you're not familiar with the finer details of Growth Boost, this post will help. While I have kept Growth Boost on for THIS group, it's off for my main group: Focused Founders™ So here's what happened >> #1 / WE DISAPPEARED FROM DISCOVERY. - My group was #1 for "Focused". Now it's not there at all for that keyword. - My group was #1 for "Founders". Now it's not there at all for that keyword, either. - My group was also, of course, #1 for the name of the group "Focused Founders". Even that is hidden. - You previously could search my name and find my group. That also doesn't work. #2 / TRAFFIC WENT... UP. - It's slight. But this is funny. - Traffic went up the next day, not down! #3 / I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MY GROWTH. - This means: no cold traffic from ads. - And: no cold traffic from Discovery. - But: no 30% lifetime tax for friends in my network who click my profile to join my group. - And: those who join are likely to come across my YouTube, LinkedIn, workshops, posts, comments, etc... so they have SOME kind of relationship when they join and are more likely to be kindred spirits. This feels good! OUR #1 SOURCE OF GROWTH? It's always been relationships. Showing up for members and friends, showing up in a thoughtful way, just... showing up and caring! I love my Skool network, and despite not aligning with the way this new program was released, turning OFF the Growth Boost helps me to feel good about remaining here. I felt an immediate relief on turning it off, funny enough. I don't even mind being hidden! 😅 Fun Fact: When I joined Skool in 2023, the Discovery didn't even exist! This doesn't really impact my world in any major way because I never have relied on Skool to hand me clients. I will be doubling down on what works, which is generally a great idea anyways! SKOOL GROUP OWNERS: What are you doing about this? Keeping it on? Turning it off? Watching and waiting? Or... something else?!

Have you heard about the Growth Boost program yet? It's something big that affects most Skool group owners. Want to join in a call to have an open discussion about this tomorrow? << Link is here >> 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚: - Tuesday, June 16 - 1pm PST / 4pm EST / 9pm UK / 10pm CEST 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗘: - What are you excited about? - What are you less than thrilled about? - What are you confused about? - What are your thoughts about this in general? There are some strong opinions about this (in both directions). That's OK. The one thing I ask is that we keep the conversation respectful, in he case you fall more deeply in the "less than thrilled" camp. The humans behind Skool are human like the rest of us. 🙂

Welcome to the 2026 version of my Official Skool Blog. Let's GO! What You'll Find Here: - Genuinely useful posts about best practices in Skool - Shared by a Skool-obsessed gal who has owned multiple top 1% groups and won the Skool Games (for the Connect & Collab group, we have a pretty awesome thing going there) - Favorite Skool groups and the cool things happening in those groups - Curated mix of some bangin' posts from around Skool What You WON'T Find Here: - Naval-gazing personal bits -- like what I ate for a snack today - Tons of personal stuff about me -- although sometimes I'll share personal stuff in the mix if it feels special and worthwhile enough - Boring rants (if we have a rant, the hope is that it will at least be interesting) How Often I'll Post: - Could be as often as 3-7x each week - Probably not ever more than once daily unless there's a really good reason - We'll see as the year goes on, won't we?! Quick Background: - This started as an experiment, but in the last month or so I was too busy winning the Skool Games to keep it rolling (such a cool flex 💪🫠) - The flex was somewhat tongue in cheek. That last month was insane, and I had no sense of balance. It actually felt like some kind of miracle that we won! 😃 - I love the photo shared with this post because it might display just a tiny fraction of the obsession I have with Skool. - Pictured: my husband Carlos, married to this amazing man since 2005, the Skool Cat (ha!), and me (hi! ::waving::) P.S. It's a "blog" but is also technically a group. Feel free to join by clicking the "JOIN GROUP" button, but you won't be able to post like in a normal group.

I haven't posted here since the day of the Skool Games. Instead of the Skool News, this week we got the Skool Games Mastermind. I'll just tell you right now, it was REALLY COOL. (The Skool Games AND the Mastermind.) I didn't think I could love Skool any more. But here's what happens... Every time I think I've hit the limit for how much I love Skool: - Another episode of the Skool News comes out - A new feature is released - I meet more nice real humans on here - I go and then MEET the Skool team and see that they are literally exactly as expected IRL: they really freaking care. SO that last thing... GAH... you guys... the Skool team is full of a bunch of Care Bears who are as obsessed with Skool as I am (I would say "even more obsessed than I am", but honestly I just think Skool is the most amazing software that ever existed, especially for creating community). THIS LOVELY VIDEO is from the mastermind with Sam Ovens (CEO of Skool) and Alex Hormozi (Skool investor, amongst other bits of course)... If you click on or go to about 1 hour and 45 minutes in, I got to ask a question AND profess my love for Skool. What a sweet life moment! BUT I recommend watching the whole video...! This was a pretty cool room to be in, to say the least! There's a lot to learn... it's amazing that they share the recording!
