One sentence on his About page. 3 new members in 3 days.
Jason is in YouTube Sales School, my small group. On one of our calls we pulled up About pages from Skool communities that are working. I told everyone to go look at their own and do what the successful ones are doing. Jason did. He found one sentence he was missing. He added it. Nothing else. 3 new members in 3 days. I asked him where they came from. "All from Skool." That's Skool search doing its thing. People type what they're looking for, and Skool shows them the groups that say it. Here's the sentence, at the top of his About page for Firewatch Business Lab: "I help first-time buyers acquire businesses under $500K without costly mistakes. A CPA-led guidance through financial due diligence, valuation, and deal protection." Who he helps. What they get. Why they should trust him. His CPA credential is now the first thing a stranger reads. And every one of those members is someone who can raise their hand for a call with him. One call. One sentence. Three days. Go read the top of your About page right now. Does a stranger know who you help in one line? Drop your opening sentence in the comments and I'll tell you what's missing.

@Keith Wheeler "Puzzle & activity book creators" nails the who. Two gaps. "Real progress" doesn't tell them what they walk away with. And your 5 #1 bestsellers aren't in there. A stranger should read that before anything else. What does a member actually get done in their first 30 days?

@Rhea Dobrovich "I love helping others IRL" is your proof. Online is the same thing with a camera in the room. Nobody likes the sound of their own voice. Record it anyway. Send me that 60 seconds when it's done.
💡 Step 0: Declare Your Idea (Do This First)
Before you watch anything in the classroom, do this first. Most people who join this community have the same problem: Too many ideas. I know because I started 26 side hustles in 14 years before I finally figured out what works. The goal here is simple: Stop spinning. Pick one direction. Test it for 30 days. Not forever. Just one idea to test next. Your Step 0 Action Comment below with this: I want to help [who] solve [problem]. Examples: • I want to help remote workers fix neck pain • I want to help busy parents plan healthy meals • I want to help real estate agents generate more leads It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be something you're considering building. When you say something out loud, you force a decision. And decisions create momentum. Most people stay stuck because they keep researching instead of choosing. After you comment 👇 Go to the Classroom → Start Here and continue with: Step 1 🧭 Pick Your Direction That’s where we’ll narrow this down and turn it into something real. Drop your idea below 👇 Let's see what you're thinking. - Brian 🔥

@Jon Burton Now that's clear. A room where the people who handle mental health at work can learn from each other instead of starting from scratch every time. I'd start with one group, probably Mental Health First Aiders, and add the others later. Then message five of them and ask if they'd join a room like that. Their answers tell you if you've got something.

@Bosque Fluir I like the direction. I’d make the outcome a little more concrete. “Hope for better future alternatives” is hard to picture. Maybe: “I help people learn to live more sustainably and become more self-sufficient through permaculture.” Simple and clear. Then you can validate whether young people, adults, or a more specific group responds most to it.

💸 The money is hiding in your comments
I had a video with a ton of views. I felt great about it. Then I read the comments. Not one person asked me for help. They just told me I was awesome. Awesome does not pay. So I opened a small video. One I wanted to delete. That one was full of people asking me what to do next. Same channel. Same guy. Same face. All my views on one video. All my buyers on another. Here is the deal. You are guessing what to sell. I was too. Your people already told you. They typed it out. It is sitting in your comments right now. The problem is it is spread over hundreds of videos. So you never see it. So I built a thing that reads all of it for you. You point Claude at your channel and your Skool community. It reads the comments. It counts who asks for help and who just claps. Then it gives you a report. It tells you what your people want to buy. In their own words. With their comments as proof. Twenty minutes. You just sit there. No code. No downloads. No tech guy. If you can add a Chrome extension, you are done. Now the part where I sell you something. I am not going to. I put the whole thing in a video. The steps. The prompt. All of it. https://youtu.be/kL3Lb8qHl-Q Most people will not run it. They will read this and go back to guessing. If you run it, you will learn more about your audience in twenty minutes than you did in two years. And you will remember who handed it to you. Go watch it. Run it today. Not Monday. Then come back to this post and tell me what it found. What is the one thing your people keep asking you for?

@John Donahue Love this. You went and ran it, which is more than most people do. So what's the #1 question they keep asking you?

@John Donahue The big takeaway here. Give the audience what they say they want.
I'm looking for 5 people who are out of excuses.
Watch the video first. Then read this. 90 days left in 2026. I want 5 people who want paying members in their Skool before the ball drops. You know who you are. You've been saying "next year" for three years now. Next year you'll open the Skool. Next year you'll figure out what to charge. Next year you'll show up on YouTube. And here we are. October. Again. I did this for 14 years. 26 side hustles. Every January I swore this was the one. In 2019 I quit waiting for January. Regular year. Regular day. I simply decided. Nine months later I was out of my 9-5 for good. So here's who I'm looking for. 5 people who don't want to wait until 2027 to decide their life is going to change. - You want a Skool community that's open and alive. - Traffic coming in from YouTube. - An offer you can say out loud and a price you're proud of. - Paying members walking through the door. This is for you if: You're on YouTube or ready to make it your main way to get seen. You'll show up to every call and do the work in between. You're done waiting for January. If you need me to talk you into it, this isn't for you. I know every excuse. I've made them all. If you're ready, comment NOW and I'll DM you the details. If you don't want 2027 to suck, let's go.
