I'm loving this weather ..🌞 After spending the day with my mum for her birthday yesterday and a lovely late night social catch up yesterday evening with some friends, in their garden, we headed straight to the beach this morning for that swim and the sea was just gorgeous! I didn't even swim.. Just floated around bobbing up and down in the waves with my daughter before dropping her to a sleepover. Then home for a nap, and a beautiful home cooked meal alfresco in the garden, where afterwards my wife and I just lay on the lawn staring at up at the birds in the sky, followed by watching Enola Holmes with the doors wide open. Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. Feel free to share some pictures if you like.

A community is not a community if there's just one person broadcasting in it. It's a lecture. A community becomes a community when people are having conversations, sharing stories and differing points of view. It's very difficult to do this alone, so I recommend buddying up with one or two other skool Community owners and be as active and add as much value in their Community as you do your own. If they do the same then all of you have a much more interesting community that people will want to be part of and participate in, then if the same amount of content was provided by just one of you. It's quite obviously something we encourage in here and I would love to hear stories where this has or even hasn't worked for you.

I went to a business speaker panel last week and something stuck with me. All 4 entrepreneurs on stage said sometimes it takes 9 "no's" to get a "yes". For all of you out there in the "no" phase, there's hope for a "yes" keep going. ❤️

Please tell me... I would love to know in the comments: 😍 What makes a really good Skool Community for you (Think about your top three and why you love them) And 😫 What would make you leave a community.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but as someone who has been in content creation and managing social media, I've been asking myself where the opportunity is now. AI can write captions, create graphics, generate videos, and even build content calendars. It feels like more businesses are experimenting with doing it themselves. Lately, I've also been thinking about leaning more into my tech background. Instead of just creating content, I'm considering helping online business owners set up the tools they need to operate things like AI workflows, tech stacks, automations, apps, and getting everything connected so they can actually run their business efficiently. Especially for people who are just starting out, don't have a budget to hire an agency, and want someone to help them get everything set up without spending a fortune. I'm curious... 👉Do you think this is something people would actually pay for? 👉If you're a business owner, what part of the "tech side" do you find most overwhelming? 👉And if you're still landing clients consistently in the AI era, what's working for you? I'd genuinely love to hear how others are adapting because I know this industry is changing fast, and I think many of us are trying to figure out where we can provide the most value.
