Some of you have been building communities for years. Others might’ve launched your very first one just last week. I’m curious, when did you create your first Skool community, and what stage is it in right now? Still growing? Scaling? Or just getting started? Drop the date in the comments 👇

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot more time on Skool. Most mornings, I’m in different communities commenting and connecting. The reason is simple: my community grows fastest when I’m active here and having real conversations. People call it “Skool networking,” and it works. Just in the last month, I’ve had multiple calls with high-level entrepreneurs who found me through a post or comment here. Looking at where most of my members come from, it’s clear. Skool is my best traffic source right now, so I’m doubling down. The quality of people here makes it even better. I just start a genuine conversation and follow up with a real DM, and it’s easy to connect. Anyone else seeing most of their growth come from Skool?

I watched a few of Sam Ovens old YouTube videos on productivity yesterday and they hit harder than I expected. One thing that really stood out was his emphasis on doing less, especially cutting down on personal, low-leverage tasks. Cooking. Cleaning. Mindless scrolling. It reminded me how powerful it is to delete things from your life until only the most important work remains. Productivity feels massively underrated for us here at Skool, who are building communities and businesses. Curious, what’s the one productivity change that made the biggest difference for you?

For a long time, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. My community wasn’t growing the way I expected. No big wins. No obvious momentum. But I was taking action, posting, testing, tweaking, and failing. Which meant I was learning. A business mentor once told me: “At any moment, you’re either learning or you’re earning.” I’ve seen this play out over and over, in my own community and in others. When results aren’t there yet, it doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It usually means you’re in the learning phase. And if you don’t quit during that phase, the earning phase eventually shows up. That reminder helps me stay grounded when things aren’t moving as fast as I want. Looking back, what did your “learning phase” teach you that later unlocked results?

I just took the conversion rate on my About page for my free community from 7% → 20% Here are the biggest lessons I learned: Lesson 1: Proof over promise I used to have lots of promises and very little proof. Now it’s almost the opposite and it works. Lesson 2: Be crystal clear on who it’s for I used to be vague. Now anyone visiting immediately knows exactly who my community helps. Lesson 3: Keep it simple I used to clutter the page with multiple images and videos. Now just 1–2 clear examples make the message way more powerful. What’s one thing you’ve done to improve your About page?
