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.

Tomorrow I'll be announcing the winners of: 1. Friday Night Fun: Never Have I Ever Game 🎡 2. Our Most Recent Wednesday Game Night 🎢 3. The First Place Race that we retired a few weeks ago. Any exciting plans this weekend? Share below! Wishing everyone a great Saturday and talk soon! Remember. Be present this weekend. Be grounded. Be where your feet are. The Business Builders Club isn't going anywhere. ♥️

If you see a spammer or bot, report them and I or my admins will kick them out to keep this community clean. Your help ensures that we keep this community protected and special. Let’s give these spammers and bots the 🥾👋! 🚨HOW TO REPORT: 1. Click the 3 dots next to the profile/post/comment and click report 🚨HOW TO IDENTIFY A BOT/SPAMMER 1. Weird or strange comments 2. Ask for WhatsApp number or dm 3. Simply says “hello how are you doing” 4. Promotes something strange or too good to be true Last night @Theresa Elliott , @Mindy Molein and a few more of you helped report a few spam comments here inside the community. This morning a bot joined and then changed their identity to impersonate me. I immediately banned the users and removed all of their previous posts. THIS HELPS A LOT. So please do what they did, help me protect this place! 🫶🏾

Where does true joy come from? Harvard ran a study on happiness for 100 years. They followed 724 people from adolescence through their entire lives; tracking their health, careers, relationships, and overall happiness. The conclusion? Money didn't predict happiness. Fame didn't predict happiness. Success didn't predict happiness. Relationships did. The people who were happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilled weren't the richest or most successful ones. They were the ones who had deep, meaningful relationships. Not hundreds of shallow connections. Not LinkedIn networks. Real friendships. People who knew them. People who cared. This is why I built this community. This is why I encourage everyone to be present, on and off of skool. It's why I try and focus on the community just as much as the classroom. Yes, we're here to make money. Yes, we're here to scale. But at the core, we're here to build WITH people, not just around them. The wins matter. But the people you meet along the way matter more. So let me ask: How many people in this community do you actually KNOW beyond their profile? Think about it. Then DM one person you want to know better this week, or call them out here. You never know what will happen. Or tag someone in this community who's made a difference for you. Tell them why. Let them know they matter. Because at the end of the day, true joy doesn't come from the revenue. It comes from the relationships. (Click here to view a video of the study if you're interested, I thought it was very cool) I'll be spending as much time as I can today catching up on all the threads and reviewing skools

Every single day, I spend 60 seconds giving thanks. That's it. One minute. And here's what I've noticed: by the end, I'm never out of things to be grateful for. I start with the obvious stuff; my family, my health, my bed, my pets. But then it goes deeper. The people in this community. The opportunities I have today. The fact that I woke up with a roof over my head and food in the fridge. Every single time the 60 seconds is up, I find myself thinking of more. 📕 Here's why this matters: Studies show that people who practice daily gratitude experience: - 25% increase in happiness levels - Better sleep quality - Stronger immune systems - Improved relationships - Lower stress and anxiety Gratitude isn't just a feel good practice. It shifts our perspectives. It enhances our lives. Try this for the next 7 days: 1. Every day you wake up. Set a timer for 60 seconds. 2. Think of everything you're grateful for. 3. Speak them outloud. Don't stop until the timer goes off. You'll be surprised how much you have. What's one thing you're grateful for today? Drop it below. 👇 If someone comments and you're thankful for that person, let them know too.
