@Mark Lawrence Congratulations on reaching Level 3!

That this morning I did bare feet in the snow for a couple of second it was cold but I did something uncomfortable but I had in my mind to do it this morning

What's your story? What's your why? Leave a quick comment telling other yarders what you're about :) (i read all of these, they make my day!) ******************************************************************************************************* what does it mean to be a part of the Yard? have you watched this yet? 👉 #My mission (Learn YardLore🧃) ❌ No gurus, no 997 upsells, no “DM me bro” energy. ✅ Just real people actually having fun, making it easy, and not taking ourselves too seriously. This group is for peeps like me trying to learn stuff like: 👉 how to build a Skool without crying 👉 what the hell GHL even does 👉 why Udimi looks like it is run by Russian bots 👉 how to use Loom without sounding like a hostage (hi) 👉 and yeah... whether pirating books counts as entrepreneurship We also talk systems, AI, content, cashflow, relationships, and obviously how to stream the Knicks without it glitching during the fourth quarter comeback. This place is not for perfect answers. It is for: • learning out loud • sharing what works • roasting what does not • making YardBuilder friends • not pretending to understand stuff you just Googled If that sounds like your vibe, grab your propeller hat. Let’s get to work. 😎 ❤️‍🔥 Quick deal for new folks → Referral Challenge I want the Yard full of good humans, not bots. Here is the standing quest: Refer 3 friends to the Yard and when all 4 of you hit Level 3 (about 20 likes on posts + comments you make), I will unlock my 99 dollar Skoolyard Sprint cohort for you for free, for life. How it works (simple): ✅ Tap “Invite people” and share your link ✅ Get 3 new members in here who actually want to play ✅ Get all 4 of you to reach Level 3 (you will see the level on your profiles, takes like 10 minutes of posting and commenting) 🗽 DM me “DONE” with their @names and I will unlock your Sprint Ace What to click next If you are like “ok cool, now what”:

I talked about my 6-month depression, my ACL tear, my agency failing, and how I never wanted anyone in here to get to the point where I was. That post was me kind of bleeding on the page so the Yard could exist. Lately I realized something deeper about what I’m 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 building… and I wanted to share it with you guys first. --- #Plot twist 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 “𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬” 𝐈’𝐦 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 I thought my superpower was “systems, Skool tactics, DM flows, prompts, bla bla.” But looking back at that post, and at all the comments from you guys… I see it now: > I’m not really building a business. > I’m secretly building a 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 for the version of me that got crushed by hustle culture. The Yard is my way of saying to that kid: “hey man, you don’t have to be perfect, or rich, or ‘crushing it’ to be allowed to build something cool. you’re already enough. let’s just play with this and see what happens.” And I think a lot of you are here for that exact reason too, even if we don’t say it out loud. --- 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 (𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬) The Skoolyard isn’t a course, it’s a playground for builders, dreamers and meme-makers. We don’t climb ladders, we build swings. We’re anti-guru, anti-grind, pro-recess. But under all the juice boxes and memes, there’s this deeper thing: * It’s for people who tried “make money online” stuff and felt dumb or broken when it didn’t work * It’s for people who’ve been depressed, burnt out, or just quietly disappointed in themselves * It’s for people who want to build something real **without** having to pretend to be a hustle robot

One of the best damn things that happened to me in Skool was finding The Skoolyard. I knew I was here to start a community, but really didn’t know where or how to start. No sooner had I pressed “join” than @Jack Robinson was in my DMs asking what my goals were, how I planned to reach them, how The Yard could help. He didn’t even try to sell me anything (what the fuck?!), but I did jump at the chance to part of Class Zero for the Sprint. I can tell, you…it completely set me up for success. One of the hardest parts of online entrepreneurship is knowing how to offer my product (me) with confidence. Coming out of the sprint, I know what is going to be in my premium level and how I will market it and I have an outline for a paid course. I also have written goals and a timeline for success. If you give yourself anything this holiday season, give yourself The Sprint.
