Donna rewrote the Skoolology About page, and it is ranking better than anything we've put there before. She built it with a new framework she has been developing for about pages. I had nothing to do with it, which may explain a lot. So the framework now has a working name: Todd You So. (Say it out loud. It sounds like "told you so," which is what Donna gets to say to me now.) Two things to keep in mind: 1. Rankings are an early signal. The real verdict comes when we see long-term conversion percentages. 2. Not every framework, or even every template, works for every community. What fits ours may not fit yours. We'd like your take. Read the About page, then let us know in the comments: why do you think Skool loves this text more than anything we've done before? Todd --- STOP BUILDING YOUR SKOOL IN PIECES. Growth here. Engagement there. Offers, tech, traffic...another expert, another strategy, another community. Skoolology is one room for the whole build. Your community is a system—not a collection of tactics. Bring the decision. The stuck spot. The half-built idea. What you're testing next. We don't look at your build through just one lens. Donna brings 30+ years across learning, leadership, community design, behavior, research & implementation. Todd brings 30+ years of tech, systems & tools. Builders here bring experience neither of us could provide alone. This isn't another course library. We build here. Bring real work. Get thoughtful eyes on it. Try something. Come back with what happened. Your next question will change. You shouldn't need another community every time it does. Stop collecting answers. Start building. Bring your build. You've found your room. Start your free trial ↓

Well, Todd and I finally did it! 😂 Skoolology officially has one $47/month membership for new members! We've been talking about this change for quite a while, and it feels good to finally take the leap. From the beginning, we've wanted Skoolology to be a place where you can bring your whole build. The questions, the experiments, the things that are working, and the things you're still trying to figure out. A place where we learn from one another, roll up our sleeves, and actually work on the things that matter to our communities. And we want to keep that simple. One membership. One room for the whole build. ❤️🐼 Now, before anyone starts wondering... 😂 You're already a member. Your current pricing is protected. You're grandfathered in, and there's nothing you need to do. For those of you receiving additional VIP or one-on-one support, that continues, too! We're simply moving toward a clearer distinction between our community membership and the more personalized support available separately. And if you're wondering whether Skoolology itself is changing, we're still doing what we've been doing all along. Learning, experimenting, helping one another, and figuring things out together. We're just making it a little easier for new people to understand what they're joining. Thank you for being part of this with us. We're pretty excited about where we're headed together! Great things are in store to help you build better!❤️ Donna & Todd

I had so many open loops in my mind. Things I wanted to finish for my community, The Room to Breathe. Things I wanted to test. Content I wanted to create. Ideas I was excited about. And at the same time, real life was happening. I had work files to finish, things to take care of for my daughter, and all the little things that still needed my attention. By the end of the day, I had to remind myself of something: I am my audience. I know what it feels like to have ideas you’re excited about, things you want to move forward, and a mind that just keeps adding things to the list. Even when you love what you’re building, you can still feel mentally full. And sometimes, the answer isn't to organize everything better, find another system, or push a little harder. Sometimes, you just need to put it down. Unload your mind. Give yourself some room. Let a few things wait. They don't all need to be finished today. So that's your little reminder for this week, and honestly, one I needed myself. You don't have to carry every open loop at once. 😊

@Jen Ps brought me a question today, and we decided it might help someone else. 🤗 She’s already getting traffic from Pinterest. Some people land on her quiz, some on her blog, and some on Lighter. But none of those paths currently lead to her paid community, The Room to Breathe. So she was trying to figure out... Do I send people from Pinterest directly to The Room? Invite them through my quiz and emails? Add invitations to my blog posts? And 😂 her strategic thinker brain was trying to do ALL THREE at once. As we talked, the question shifted. Instead of: “Where should I send my traffic?” we started asking: “What’s the most natural next step for someone who found me HERE?” Someone taking her quiz may need a different next step than someone reading one of her blog posts. And someone who sees a pin specifically about putting down mental load might be ready to visit The Room directly. So Jen has a test. She’s going to connect The Room more intentionally to the things she already has AND try a few pins that lead directly there. No new funnel. No new thing to build. 😂 Just connecting the dots and watching what happens. And it made me wonder about the rest of us. Where are people finding you right now? And once they find you…where do they go next? And Jen, you know we’re going to want the deets later! 😂🩷 Thanks for such a fantastic question!

Weekly focus check-in. I build with about 10 hours a week, so I pick one focus and let the rest wait. This week mine is: Get people into my community, one useful comment at the time. What's yours? One thing only.
