It's been awhile since we had a post in here just to share what we're up to! Here in the United States, some of us are in the middle of a 4 day weekend. I've been non-stop working on stuff outdoors, because we had 3 loads of white gravel placed and it needed to be leveled... 🥵 I'm nowhere near completed, but oh boy do I appreciate internet work over this manual labor lol We've done a good bit of grilling, water chaos fun (aka filling up buckets to water plants...but ended up in a water battle with my 4yr old), feeding our stock tank of gold fish, and making sure the workers had plenty of ice water. Oh 💐 we did spot these adorable little girls with a stand in their driveway, but instead of lemonade it was flowers! A bouquet of zinnias for $10. So my little one wanted to buy a bouquet for me and for his Grandma. He said "Mom! We have to support little entrepreneurs! They might have high yield savings too!" lol so yeah we bought 2 of them. 🥰 Tomorrow, more outdoor work and maybeee looking at a container house that we might add to the property, while the new tiny house is under construction. I'm curious to know what you guys are up to! What fun, chaotic, normal, chill, or work things are you doing this weekend?

In case you missed it, the founders of Acquisition.com, Alex Hormozi and Leila Hormozi, officially announced that they’re expecting their first baby together! ❤️ They shared the news in an exclusive with PEOPLE Magazine along with maternity photos, and their photos are sooo cute! Check out the article to see them all: https://people.com/entrepreneurs-alex-leila-hormozi-expecting-their-first-baby-exclusive-11982040 A lot of us have watched Alex and Leila for years through business content, podcasts, interviews, books, YouTube, Skool Games conversations, and everything they’ve shared online about entrepreneurship, relationships, discipline, growth, and building a life together while growing companies. Now they’re becoming parents. 🥹❤️ As a mom, I'm so excited for my kid to grow up in a world with a Hormozi that will be around his age! One thing I really liked from the article was this quote: “Life has been a series of interconnected wild rides for us. From the highest highs to the lowest lows. Welcoming this baby into the world will bring its share of both, and we're here for all of it.” Parenthood is just that! So many emotions and so many different experiences. All of it worth it and life is never the same.. your perspective changes! It'll be interesting to see how the Hormozi's content changes based on their perspectives being adjusted once the baby is here! Also really cool seeing how many people online are genuinely excited and happy for them right now. A baby celebrated by the world! Huge congratulations to the Hormozis from our community. 🎉 Of course, everyone will be happy with baby Hormozi being either a girl or a boy, but for fun.. what's your guess? 💙💓💰

If you’re looking at Skoolers who are making a lot of money, winning games, and consistently getting traffic from Skool, you’ll notice something simple... They have a YouTube channel! Not all of them. But enough of the top earners that it stops being a coincidence. That's also when they start to get an amazing amount of traffic from Skool, because it's coming alongside their outside traffic and accelerating their growth. I remembered watching a Skool Games recording where The Goat at the time shared his story of winning Games, hitting $300k/m without a team, and making 95% profit.. so I went on a hunt to find something about that recording. Wanted to share it with you: I grabbed the video at the time stamp 1:00:01 and MUST watch til about 1:05:33. But I recommend watching it til about 1:35:06. I was just trying to find how much content he was making at one point, which he shares how he started and where he was at the time of the video. A quote I liked from Sam Ovens in this was "I think the main point is you got to make content. You're going to suck at first. You got to keep going. Make a lot." Alex Hormozi said for a volume example he put out about 35,000 pieces of content so far that year... which is a LOT! That recording was July 29, 2025 when he was at $300k per month. At the time of this post, he is still at $227,217 per month.. which means he's definitely doing something right even if it's a bit different of a plan now. I've been working on my content plan for when I start posting consistently again on YouTube. I know I won't necessarily hit Alex's amount of content lol but I do want to have a good bit ready to go, because I'm learning those lessons that there are many phases to motherhood ...while also working on health stuff. It can be a lot! BUT one step at a time. So I'm planning on at least doing 3 videos a week, until I can build up to more. 👇 If you are building right now, what does your actual output look like? 👇 If you want to put out more, what would that look like?

I’ve been asked this directly and I’ve also seen a lot of people asking it publicly. Why are the Skoolers community rules vague? Some people are totally fine with it. Others really dislike it. Both reactions are okay. Some people prefer things extremely clear with exact limits. Some are used to platforms where everything is spelled out. Others have been part of large communities before and already understand why vague rules exist in the first place. Here’s the part that matters and why I now strongly recommend vague rules… even for smaller communities. Hard rules create loopholes. Vague rules create better communities. The moment you introduce hard limits, people naturally want to reach those limits. Instead of looking at the intention of a post, it turns into “does this technically fit in the guidelines?” It even takes away from something that makes a community really wonderful. If a community like Skoolers spelled out exactly what a good post is and what a bad post is, we might never see some of the creativity that comes from someone trying something out. From experimenting. From sharing something that wasn’t done before that ends up being genuinely good. Vague rules leave room for that. They also mean that as moderators and admins, we end up having a lot of conversations. We look at patterns. We make decisions based on context instead of black and white rules. Sometimes there is a new person who is just trying to fit in. A post might technically be questionable, but the right response is to welcome them and guide them. Other times someone is new and blatantly self promoting, which clearly is not allowed. In that case, we can redirect and still welcome them without letting the behavior continue. Those situations look similar on paper but they are very different in reality. Vague rules allow for that distinction. They also protect against bad actors. An example that Andrew Kirby shared explains this well. If people were told they would not be prosecuted for stealing things under $50, you would immediately see people stealing things up to $49. The clear rule creates the behavior.

There is no "one-size-fits-all" answer to this question, and I think that is why so many people feel unsure about what to choose. Most people are trying to make this decision based on what they think they “should” or are “supposed” to do, instead of what actually makes sense for their niche, their goals, and the type of community they want to build. Including whether they even have a real plan for getting members. 👀 And a big part of the stress around this choice comes from thinking it is final. Like once you pick public or private, you are locked into it forever. That is not actually how I look at it. 🤷‍♀️ You have way more flexibility than you think. You are allowed to test. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to treat this like an experiment and collect real data instead of trying to make the perfect decision upfront. Whatever you choose is going to show you how people actually respond. What they engage with, what they ignore, and what needs to change. Don't forget to track it! ✍️ You have way more flexibility than you think. In fact, you should be testing. You should be changing your mind when you get more information. And if you needed someone to tell you, you are allowed to have more than one community serving different purposes. Especially if one of them is meant to help you get discovered. It does not have to be complicated or add a "massive" amount of work. Because I will tell you one big myth that is still floating around out there.. you know the one.. "If you build it, they will come." No. 😐 That is not how it works. So much good work never gets seen. Not because it is bad. Not because the person is not smart or capable. But because nobody ever sat them down and said the simple truth. You have to get traffic. * hello * Please read that again.. PLEASE! lol This is not me trying to sell you on a traffic package. Yes, I have found people that can help you like @Eric Howell and his upcoming Free community Traffic Lounge and then even @Matthew Burns with his ProveWorth community that is essentially the community Trust Pilot or Yelp. Two people I trust a lot, because I know traffic is needed for you to even get the business help.
