Quick Groop update for you… Testing and bug fixing right now, launch delayed until early July… 🎉 It’s the reason i’m not posting in the community right now, cos when Groop is done, i’ll be moving GrowthKit across and starting afresh. You’ll all be front of the invite queue to get the beta deal, so nothing for you to do but wait. Any qs…. ask away!

I thought I would back up my knowledge with a certificate...why not? So, I’m proud to share my latest achievement. A big thanks to TechVets for providing free access as a veteran, to this Coursera course. Any other veterans here in the GrowthKit community?

Sounds wrong? Keep reading. You post each week. You write smart stuff. But no one cares. Here’s why: 1. No plan = No growth Your posts might look nice. But without a plan? It’s just noise. 2. No talk = No reach Just hit "post" and scroll? You miss where trust builds—inside chats and replies. 3. No search = No traction If folks can’t find you, they won’t follow you. Think SEO first—always. 4. No data = No clue Guesswork is cute, till results fall. Your gut lies. Numbers don’t. I used to care more about looks. Fonts. Style. Catchy lines. Now? I care about what works. I track. I tweak. I talk. And I win more. Here’s your quick test: Are you posting, or are you growing? Are you guessing, or are you measuring? One shift can flip your results. Not more posts. Just better ones. Because content alone won’t win. But smart content will. Do you agree? Drop a line if you need some help figuring it all out.
