I have a little gift for you this year. I just added a course from my paid group to the classroom, and it's available for you for free till the end of the year. If you're on the premium tier it will stay free after the new year too. The course is a bit over an hour, but is divided into nice short digestible chunks, so you should be able to plow through it in one sitting. The course is called Sales & Marketing Basics and it should quickly bring you up to speed in terms of the foundational concepts of selling and marketing. Let me know how you like! And have a great Holiday!

Here's another inspirational tune I just found. And no, that's not me 😂

...so I found this exercise "What's Cool About YOU" that's going to make you WAY more interesting to talk to here in our Skool Communities. Seriously. I got this from Sean Stephenson (the three-foot-tall giant, may he rest in peace)... ....and, again, it's called "What's Cool About You?" Here's the deal... ...when we meet people in Skool communities, we do the boring stuff: "I'm a course creator" or "I run a marketing agency" or whatever. YAWN. 🥱 But what if you could share the WEIRD, COOL, RANDOM stuff about yourself that actually makes people go "Wait, WHAT? Tell me more about that!" That's what this exercise does. It helps you remember (and share) the stuff you've done or experienced that you normally wouldn't mention... but which opens the door to WAY deeper, more fun, and more intellectual conversations. ...because let's be honest... nobody remembers the person who said "I do Facebook ads." But they DEFINITELY remember the person who said "I once trained myself to become #3 in the world at footbag" or "I have a street dog in India named Scooby who's in charge of 12th Road." 😂 HERE'S THE EXERCISE: Write down everything that's COOL, WEIRD, INTERESTING, or UNIQUE about YOU. Not your business accomplishments (boring). YOUR life accomplishments. YOUR quirks. YOUR stories. Some examples to get you started: - "I was a vegetarian for 25 years" (then went back to eating meat like a savage) - "At twelve years old, I won a silver medal in sailing in the Norwegian championship" - "I became one of the biggest party promoters in San Francisco" - "I pet or talk to ALL dogs I meet on the street... because I know they need love" - "I was in the Army and became the second-best dog handler... with a BRAND NEW dog that had never been trained" (the winner had a dog that had been there for 6 years... just saying 😏) Or maybe you've got stuff like: - "I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes" (okay, that's not impressive, but if it's under 30 seconds, NOW we're talking) - "I once ate 47 tacos in one sitting" (don't judge me) - "I taught myself to play ukulele during lockdown and now I annoy everyone at parties" - "I lived in a van for 6 months and loved every second of it" - "I can name every country in the world in under 5 minutes" (nerd alert)

1. Start With A Simple Onboarding Action People join a group and freeze… a small first step teaches new members how to interact without overwhelm and gently onboards them into the natural flow of the community. This is one of the most important steps for Skool owners who have members joining from outside of Skool. Not only are they new to your group, they are landing on a new platform that will feel foreign for the first few steps. 2. Tell Members How Conversations Work Here Clarity creates safety… and safety creates natural member interaction that feels easy and low pressure. 3. Create A Steady Rhythm They Can Follow A predictable touchpoint builds trust… helping your conversation flow feel consistent without relying on algorithm tricks. 4. Model The Tone You Want Reflected Your energy shapes the whole space… members mirror the pace, tone, and style you bring into every interaction. 5. Give Stuck Members A Gentle Next Step One small nudge keeps threads alive… helping people feel seen and supported instead of drifting back into silence. If your engagement feels stuck or the rhythm of your community is off… you can tap the link in my bio and grab a 30 Minute ONE FIX CALL. One problem… one shift… real movement. 🌿

On calls and DMs you ask me if you can pitch your stuff. I usually say yes, but to follow the instructions. Now I'm telling you that you can pitch here, and all I get is crickets... 🤪
