As you know, this is a new skool and I am keen to grow it. If you know someone who could join, use this link: https://www.skool.com/signup?ref=a3f42feabca7476ea599ece431deb60f If they become members you get a 40% commission. Just one more new member on this day would make it a good day!

I am just reminded of how valuable it is to have like-minded people around me who can help me finetune my ideas and push me into my discomfort zones for further growth. Whatever you do, join a mastermind.

I was thinking of a comment made by Caroline in the community which was if you like to write, then to grow your business, write, if you like to chat, then chat, if you like video, then produce. Maybe you like one of them, maybe all three. So here is the challenge. By the way, the win is all yours, the prize is yours to collect. The challenge is to write out 10 ways you will make what you prefer work for you. I suspect most can think of 1, 2 or 3, push it to 10, use AI, sleep on it. Pushing your list to 10 will give you more options, plus you will start to see how they can work together, and ultimately create an eco system you love to run. Please either share your list to inspire others, or let me know below you have done yours. Here's mine (I like all three modes unless I am trying to make a video in the street that is - got so many interruptions today): 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: That was for you to cut and paste, here's my list for reals: 1: Make a series of videos 2: Write a series of books 3: Make a series of apps 4: Make resources for each main title 5: Integrate them all together 6: Create a community where I can help others, get feedback and deliver more. 7: Discover and write out a short list influencers. 8: Write out thought pieces (including random fiction) 9: Create more IP whenever I can 10: Let others know of the resources I create using articles, email and video

Last night while working on uploading the updated version of How To Start A Business Without Any Money to Amazon, I thought I wonder how this would run as a TV show. I do have a cousin who is a TV producer, although I would not dream of asking him. So I set about writing an outline and then took each chapter to expand the outline to cover the book. Definitely episodic. This morning I set out with my iPhone and so far I have some of the first episode in the can. I am no actor, and no TV producer, but I think I may be on to something. An educational documentary style series. It needs work (there are captions), and a redo as not everything is perfect first time. I found a button on the microphone afterward that I could have selected that would have reduced the wind noise. It was fun. If you want to learn more about How To Start Your Own Business, introduce yourself, engage a little and the full course unlocks automatically in the classroom. Check it out. Here's a thought and a question for you, to potentially help your business. I started by making a video about one thing. The problem is we can make many one thing, one topic videos, but they don't link together, there is no protagonist or tension, just here it is content, which nowadays you can get from AI on demand anyway. Whereas a series tells a story, has reasoning and cliffhangers (which AI does not have) and a series is potentially bingeworthy. For shows we like, we tend to want more. So the question is, what shows would your audience like to bingewatch? See the finished version here: https://www.skool.com/income-engineers-guild/first-video-of-the-series-see-it-here-first

This is early days for the Guild, and I mean that literally, everything here gets built based on what actually helps, not what I assume will. So tell me straight: what's the one thing that's really concerning you in your business right now? Vote below, and if none of these quite land, say so in the comments. That's just as useful to me as the vote itself.
