Just opened up Skool on my phone and saw the layout was a BITTTT different. I’m loving this new look, haven’t checked it on my laptop yet but this looks great. Thank You Sam!

So this is a framework I was given years ago and I wanted to share it with you, perhaps it will give you some clarity. When you are deciding what you want your community to be, ask yourself these 3 questions. WHO? Who is the community for, who is your ideal member? Big corporations spend millions on this, crafting an ideal "avatar". But don't over-complicate, start with something simple. The more you niche it though, the more appealing it gets. $ business brokers $$ online business brokers $$$ online business brokers specializing in SAAS companies $ single moms $$ single moms in their 30s $$$ single moms in their 30s who own business You get the gist. The more you define and understand your ideal member, the more money you will earn. Next, WHAT? What are you helping them with, what are you offering? What problem or pain point your community solves? What is the END RESULT? Clearly define value proposition. $ helping business brokers make more money $$ helping online business brokers close deals $$$ transforming online SAAS business brokers into deal-closing wizards $ helping single moms navigate love and business $$ helping single moms in their 30s find a partner and work less $$$ transforming entrepreneurial single moms in their 30s into irresistible bad-ass mompreneurs This sometimes can be hit-miss. Survey your ideal members, before you commit to a solution. Also, consider spending ability. Helping students in their 20s sounds fun, but how much money can they really spend? Lastly, HOW? How are you helping them? What method or strategy are you using to deliver your solution? Now this can get tricky, because a community itself is a method. But consider this: community is only the vehicle your ideal member takes to get from A to B. (A - where they are now, B - the result you offer). What they do inside that community is what matters. This will be normally a blend of methods: - coaching, live trainings, q&a, classroom, courses, daily meetings, ebooks, workshops, etc

FFS, people, can we collectively, as a community of entrepreneurs, end all of the sensationalist peacocking as it relates to money made? Every tutorial and video I watch is all about nothing other than the spectacle of "so and so made $128MM dollars this month" and it's ALWAYS GROSS REVENUE WHICH IS WORTHLESS (unless you are the credit card processor collecting 2.9% + .30 per transaction and I don't see Stripe in here)! As Brian Tracy stated decades ago: "Don't tell me what you made. Tell me what you kept." All this sensationalist nonsense for starry eyed newbies is pathetic and borders on the criminal. If you're going to peacock and make income claims, do us all a favor and show the actual net net numbers (like you do the MFers at the IRS so you can avoid paying taxes you don't owe). If your income claims wouldn't survive a forensic audit (something I'm guessing most of you have never even heard, conducted, or been on the receiving end of), don't make them. It's disingenuous and only makes all Internet entrepreneurs look like a bunch of foaking con artists and that reputation is already too well deserved by many. If honesty and transparency are an issue for you....that speaks volumes. Be better. Be the example people should look up to. Don't be a shill for a shekel. <rant over....for now...don't worry, Sam I Am will be along to ban me again in 3-2-1...and that's fine because if that's the case, I don't want to be in a community that advocates false advertising, fraud in the inducement, fraud in the factum, and racketeering anyway> And if you think this is funny or idiotic, it's only because you've never had the silver bracelets put on you and haven't been thrown in a cage. I have. Numerous times. Trust me on this: it's not some place you EVER want to go and there ain't no money or fake Lambos and bikinis lifestyle that's worth it, I can assure you. Be best!

Hey guys :-) I started my Skool journey 4 weeks ago, and I love it so far! I'd love to connect with fellow Skool community leaders from Europe. That's why I've created a free community for European Skool community leaders. Why? Because it seems to me as if we have a liiittle bit of a different approach than the US when it comes to creating, managing, and monetizing our groups 😅 – and I would love to chat about that. Also, I'd love to hear Skool success stories from community owners based in Europe. But this group is also a place for Europeans talking about their wins and learnings with Skool, and of course you can also ask questions in this group. Feel free to join if you're from Europe. ✌️ Language is English only.

Now, I'm far from expert, but I see lots of new creators making same mistake and I thought I will share what I learned over the years. Your community is a VEHICLE a potential member will use to get a RESULT. Let's say you are helping single dads lose weight. Point A: over-weight, low stamina, bad diet Point B: optimal BMI, high stamina, healthy diet Your community is the vehicle that takes them from point A to B. You are selling the strategy, the tools and whatever else they will need to get the result. Another thing I ought to add. If you have an improvement offer, you are already missing 80% of the market. That's because a lot of us don't like to admit we are failing. I learned this from Russel Brunson and he is damn right. Rather than saying: Increase your customers Boost your engagement Say: New way to get customers on autopilot Weird trick that gets instant engagement I hope this makes sense!
