A lot of people have spent 10, 20, or even 30 years developing skills, gaining experience, or enjoying hobbies without ever considering whether someone else might want to learn what they know. You don't always have to come up with some groundbreaking business idea. Sometimes it's worth taking another look at what you already know. That's part of what I'm helping people explore with Skool Growth Lab. I've also put together a free Business Idea Finder if you're curious about what you might be able to build around your own skills or experience. 👉 https://skoolgrowthhub.com Enjoy the video! 🐈 What's the strangest skill or hobby you've ever come across? I'm always looking for ideas for the next episode! 😂

What will you choose? “Alright… here we go.” “You’ve built the Skool. You’ve added the classes. You’ve been posting consistently. You’ve been watching that member count like it’s one of these cases.” “And now… the banker has made you an offer.” “You can walk away right now and keep doing what you’ve been doing — more content, more tweaks, more hoping.” “Or…” “You can press the button.” “And inside this case… is something different.” “Clarity. Structure. Retention that actually works. A real growth system.” “I need to know.” “Are you comfortable walking away with random results…” “Or are you ready to make a deal?” “This is your moment.” “Deal… or No Deal?”

Here's the first in a new series of shorts I'm starting called “Can You Make Money With THAT?!” Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas on other skills to include.

When people think about starting an online community, they often start looking for an "online" idea. But what about something you've spent years doing offline? Harb Ski Academy is a great example. Skiing happens on a mountain—not behind a computer. Yet knowledge around a physical skill can still be taught, discussed, practiced and supported through an online community. That's a useful lesson for anyone wondering what they could build a Skool around. Think about the things you've learned through years of actually doing them: • Sports or hobbies • Music or creative skills • A trade • Your profession • Fitness • Gardening • Photography • Cooking • Something you've practiced for years just because you enjoy it You don't necessarily need to invent a new topic. You may need to recognize that something which feels normal to you is difficult for someone who hasn't spent years learning it. And an online community doesn't necessarily have to replace the real-world activity. It can help people get better at it between the times they're actually doing it. That's what makes communities built around real-world skills so interesting to me. I took a closer look at Harb Ski Academy, how it's positioned and some of the lessons other community builders can take from it. 👉 https://skoolgrowthhub.com/community-breakdowns/harb-ski-academy After you read it, think about this: What real-world skill have you spent years developing that someone else would love to get better at?

Here's a simple idea for your Skool Classroom: Turn it into a customized learning path. Instead of giving everyone the same Lesson 1 → Lesson 2 → Lesson 3 path, start by asking what they actually need. For a weight-loss community: What's your biggest struggle right now? A. I don't know what to eat → Simple Nutrition B. I can't stay consistent → Consistency C. My progress has stalled → Breaking a Plateau D. Weekends throw me off → Weekend Strategy Each answer links directly to the relevant lesson. You can do the same thing at the end of a lesson: What happened? → It worked → Go here next → I'm still stuck → Try this instead → I need feedback → Go to this Community post The links don't even have to stay inside the Classroom. Send members to a discussion, poll, challenge, Calendar event, resource, or anywhere else that makes sense. You may already have all the content you need. Instead of adding more lessons, try building better paths through the ones you already have.
