Firstly thank for the advice/support I’ve had since joining this group it’s all been very helpful, I was hoping for peoples thoughts on me launching our first community ? Something I was kind of questioning, I believe we have a great model to offer members. However I was questioning how soon we would take it live, do we build awareness of it coming soon and hope to have a large sing up from day one or just put it out there and grow on the back of that. I think my main concern would be people being put off by only seeing a low amount of members?

Hi everyone 👋 I hope you’re having a great week and that business is booming. But if it isn’t, you cannot miss tomorrow’s open Zoom session with me and my special guest Jordan Simmonds. Jordan is a lead generation expert, and one of our Syndicate Specialists, who’s already helped several people in this group generate more leads and more sales. He specialises in using smart, modern approaches to find, attract, and convert new clients. Let’s be real, without sales, you don’t have a business. Yet too many are still stuck in the old way of doing things… ...posting ads, putting out nice LinkedIn content, and hoping someone is so impressed they’ll reach out and beg to work with you. 🤣 That’s not how it works anymore. If you haven’t adapted your approach to lead gen and sales in the last year, you’re almost certainly out of date... and if you're not getting enough sales you need new/better strategies Tomorrow I’ll be interviewing Jordan live on Zoom, asking him for his top tips and crucial strategies to help businesses grow right now. 📅 Tomorrow, 7pm 📍 Zoom – link in Calendar Come, listen, learn, and bring your questions. This will be practical, powerful, and packed with insights to help you grow.

The challenge with students using AI is this: how will innovation and breakthroughs occur if they begin to rely on AI for everything too early? In just a few weeks of using it myself, I’ve noticed how easy it is to accept what AI provides without questioning it. But what if what it shares isn’t the whole truth? What happens to original thought when convenience takes the lead because the world is moving too fast? I experienced this firsthand when AI generated minutes from a meeting I attended. On the surface, the summary seemed accurate. But as I reviewed it, I realized several key points had been left out. It reminded me how quickly we can become dependent on AI, trusting it to “think” for us, while overlooking its limitations because it is so convenient. @Mike Greene This raises an important question for education you queried: if students use AI in schools - it could easily become a default tool, what will that do to their creativity? There is already significant pressure on teachers roles and responsibilities, so can AI be used responsibly? There is already evidence that creativity and risk-taking decline as students grow older. Sir Ken Robinson, in his famous TED Talk “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”, argued that education systems often suppress creativity by rewarding conformity and discouraging mistakes. If traditional schooling already narrows imagination, then what happens when AI enters the mix? On one hand, AI has the potential to enhance learning by providing personalized insights and instant feedback but that will depend on the level of ability to ask probing questions and to dig deep. On the other, it risks making students passive consumers of information rather than active creators of ideas. True innovation requires questioning, experimenting, and sometimes failing, qualities that can’t be outsourced to AI in my opinion. Already university lecturers have challenges around students using AI type of tools to write their essays etc.

365 hours scrolling, faffing, doing nothing of value. And here’s the brutal truth: it’s your fault. Stop saying you “don’t have the time.” You do. You just waste it. I’ve studied people for 30 years. And I can tell you this: - You don’t lack hours, you lack focus. - You’re not busy, you’re distracted. - You’re not incapable, you’re lazy in your choices. And the most embarrassing part? You don’t even notice it. You treat every ping as urgent. You make cleaning the kitchen more important than making the call that could change your future. You tell yourself stories about why you can’t… while doomscrolling away your life. If I followed you with a camera crew for 24 hours, you’d be ashamed of what you call “busy.” Here’s the truth you need to face: - Until you accept it’s your fault, you won’t change. - Until you accept you’re wasting time, you won’t change. - Until you accept you’re not prioritising, you won’t change. And if you don’t change, nothing will change. So, here’s my challenge to you: - For the next week, stop lying to yourself. - Cut the crap. Cut the excuses. - Write down how you really spend your day. - Decide what you will stop doing. Then ask yourself: What three things today will actually move the bar in my life or business? Do those three things. Every day. Do them before you give yourself permission to be “busy.” Because six hours of real focus will beat sixty hours of distracted nonsense. Every. Single. Time. Nine weeks of your life are disappearing every year. You don’t get them back. So stop wasting them.

Some books inform you. This one transformed me. Reading Tony Robbins’ Awaken the Giant Within helped me quadruple my salary, leave corporate life, and step into a lifetime of growth. It gave me the tools to rewire my mindset, build confidence, and create financial freedom I’d never imagined. I honestly believe that without this book, I’d be at less than 10% of the success and fulfilment I have today. 👉 Click the link below to read my full review and the 10 principles you can use right now https://www.skool.com/thegrowthsyndicate/classroom/84055912?md=5fb6e76dee0a442f88c418a9c394fa26
