What's been your 'aha' moment? This week I had a couple, around sales (specifically pricing strategies), and how I perceived marketing, while I was reading a sales book. While the concepts themselves weren't new to me (I'd heard of them some years ago), it just took a bit of time (and maybe wisdom?) for them to 'click'. Either way, they're a win for me moving forward and I can't wait to test them. Curious to see what other 'aha'/lightbulb moments everyone else has had this week.

Pause what you're doing and congratulate these people!!! This week not one, but THREE people earned their stars on Skool!!! Please congratulate @Shannon Boyer, @Lydia Wilmsen, and @Nick Nebelsky!!!! 🎉 These are the owners of: The Classifieds | Advertise Your Skool | AI Storytellers ⭐️ These aren't just emojis. They're symbols of consistency, hard work, and showing up when it matters. They're the result of showing up day after day; even when life is busy, even when you're tired, even when no one seems to notice. It's the result of brilliance, community, and leading with value. And here's the thing: a lot of you are doing this right now. You're showing up. You're contributing. You're building. Some of you are a few weeks away from your star. Some of you just earned your fire. Some of you are quietly grinding without any recognition at all; and that's real too. Give it all time. These three just hit the milestone this week. But the work you're putting in? It's seen, and it matters just as much. Keep going.

Hello to the BBC club, gosh that sounds wrong..... I'm Jai from New Delhi and I recently got into AI - mostly sales related automations and outcomes... if anyone needs some advice on that side, please feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to guide you..

Back in 2017, I had zero experience owning a gym, zero ninja warrior background, and zero clue how to run a business like this. I was a regular guy who loved the idea of a ninja gym – the energy, the obstacles, the community vibe – but I had no roadmap, no investors, no fancy business plan just a supportive wife and a few friends. I could have waited for the “perfect” moment: perfect location, perfect equipment, perfect marketing plan, perfect everything. Instead I did the only thing that actually moves the needle: I just started. We signed the lease on a small warehouse space, bought used equipment off Facebook Marketplace, built obstacles and remolded for a few months. Lots of looooong days and nights! Ninja Hub opened on May 1, 2018 & the official grand opening took place on June 9, 2018, where American Ninja Warrior all-star Grant McCartney (The Island Ninja) and international musician Aaron Boyd put on a meaningful, heartfelt, and action-packed evening of FUN for the community. At the end of 2019, Ninja Hub expanded by adding on 2,000 square feet of obstacle-packed gym space, taking the total size of Ninja Hub from 5,400 to 7,400 square feet. The excitement of a new year with brand new structures & obstacles came to a screeching halt in March 2020, when the world stopped & Ninja Hub was forced to close for nearly 3 months. The future of Ninja Hub was unknown, as we didn’t know if it could survive the year with the lack of activity & support. Once the gym reopened, the rest of 2020 was depressingly slow, as so many people were still afraid to visit a gym. The decision was made on January 2, 2021, that if things didn’t pick up within the next 30 days, Ninja Hub would close forever. Apparently God had other plans because January 2021 ended up being one of Ninja Hub’s busiest months to date. There was no doubt that Ninja Hub had a purpose & would go on! There have been hills & valleys, challenges & struggles, but there’s no question that Ninja Hub has made its mark on the community.

Just hit my 30-day streak here on Skool, and honestly this feels like one of those quiet wins that stack up over time. Showing up daily, commenting, engaging, sharing, supporting really proves that consistency beats intensity. What I love most is that this streak isn’t about numbers, it’s about CONNECTION. 🤝 Conversations turned into insights, insights turned into relationships, and relationships into growth (for all of us). If you’re new here or thinking “I’ll engage more later,” this is your sign! start small, show up daily, and let momentum do the rest. Grateful for this community and everyone who makes it worth showing up every day ❤️‍🔥 Let’s keep building 🔥🔥🔥🔥
