Today's live session is shaping up more like a mastermind, so I've extended it to a full hour. Yes, it's about Growth Boost, but it's so much more than that. We're getting into community strategy: how and whether you should adjust your approach once you factor in the bigger trends reshaping things. Any success I've had in business has come from looking at where the market is going, not where it sits today. My favorite quote comes from Wayne Gretzky, who credits it to his father: "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." That's what this hour is for. Figuring out where the puck is headed for your community, and what that means for the moves you make now. Come live if you can and bring your questions or drop questions below in comments. Implementation guides go out later today for anyone with access.

If you haven't seen it yet, one of our members did something this week that I would love for everyone to notice. @Avinash Khatri shared a full month of his own community-building experiments in our Research Notes, what worked, what he'd do differently, the real numbers, the honest lessons. It's exactly the kind of thing this space is built for. Not theory, but someone actually trying things and bringing the findings back to all of us. And he ended with a question worth all of us answering... 💡What's one experiment that had a real, surprising impact on your community? Not a theory. Something you actually tried that changed something. Head over to his post and share with us. You'll find it HERE. Let's build a little pile of real evidence together, and let's show Avinash that when someone goes first, the rest of us show up. 🙌

Hello Skoology community I've been somewhat MIA, as I have been dealing with a lot in my life. Obviously I'm not a special case, as we all have busy lives but it's meant that I haven't been as present as I like to be in this community and Skool at large. As I continue to build my community and embark on more exciting projects, I will be here more often and hopefully connecting with all of you, like minded folks. @Donna Thornton and @Todd Thornton thank you for all that you do here and I look forward to the continued growth and success of the community!!

Congrats to @Muskan Ahlawat and her AI Automation Club. She's now only 19 members shy of 1,000. I believe she has the most members of anyone in our group right now followed by @Michael Wacht at 825 members in his AI Bits & Pieces. Keep up the great work!

A gentle one for the middle of the week, and as always, this is about your community, not this one. There's a subtle shift that changes everything, and it's not tactical, it's internal. It's the move from "am I allowed to charge for this?" to "my work has real value." Notice those are completely different questions. The first asks permission from some invisible judge. That judge is usually made of old voices, a message you picked up somewhere that helpers shouldn't profit, or that wanting to be paid is somehow greedy. Not truth. Just an old echo. The second question isn't a question at all. It's simply true. And you don't need anyone's permission for something that's true. The value you create is real whether or not you've fully made peace with being paid for it. Your discomfort doesn't shrink your worth. It just means the worth arrived before the peace did. So, sit with this today... Where are you still asking permission for something you could simply recognize as real?
