First coach I ever paid to work with? I paid $2k up front to learn about Offer Creation. ...And $10k to keep working with him over the next 90 days. Second coach? I paid $2,500 for him to review my copy. Third coach? I paid $7,000 to go to an in-person event and learn about funnels. Another coach? I paid $4,000 to go to 1 dinner and learn about Social Media. In between those coaches I've paid thousands for random programs, and Masterminds. What did I learn over the last year with over $30,000 invested? Well I saw a pattern. I recognized the key traits I needed to embody. All these uber successful people were delusional. In the best kind of way. And I learned how to create offers that sell out every time. Finally, I learned that business is incredibly simple. And the best entrepreneurs are 1 of the following 2 personas: 1. So dumb that they keep business simple by default. 2. So smart that they complicate things, but quickly solve them. And most people are somewhere in between dumb and genius (you guys are closer to genius don't worry) But seriously. That's what gets us. We're complicating things because our brains are too smart to ignore that there are several ways to be successful. But not trained enough to simplify it down to the 1 solution that could make you the biggest entrepreneur in your city. And many of you, like me, wind up investing tens of thousands into courses to try and fix this. Well it's CRAZY to me that these entrepreneurs could sell systems so simple, for so much. That's why I've put everything I know into https://skool.com/playbooks It's the culmination of every successful: - Marketing email - Ad that I've run for Skool games clients - 7-figure offer I've built from scratch - And teams I've brought together to help entrepreneurs scale And it's all inside Playbooks less than your monthly Netflix subscription. But this is where I'm gonna actually pitch you (so feel free to ignore this if you're not looking to invest in anything rn)

You should go all in now. Unprepared, imperfect offer, just DO it. Set a date to hit $20k/mo or whatever your goal is. Let the countdown begin. In 5 years, will you regret the fact that you launched an imperfect offer and it didn't work perfectly, or the fact that you waited around wondering when to start? (Here's what I've been thinking about my entire Sunday morning) All the clients that had massive success working with me + made over 6-figures were the ones who jumped straight into the mess of it. They didn't have an offer. They didn't have an audience. They just went for it and they messed up. They learned and they came up with a better strategy. And the fact is, a year will pass whether you experiment or not, whether you launch or not, whether you try or not. Wouldn't you rather at least have a year of lessons than a year of waiting? That's why I launched this community within a couple weeks of coming up with the idea 👇 Skool.com/playbooks I wrote and documented everything I've learned after creating $4 million in revenue for my clients on Skool. It's all here, and the price doubles in a few days. So if you want it, come grab it, and let's launch your community ASAP. Cheers to ending 2025 strong. -Patrice P.S. If you're tired of information overload, trust me, I get it. That's why these playbooks are 100% actionable and filled with templates to help you implement immediately 🔥

So I have a dare for you all. My moms a legend. She used to dance ballet in NYC, got obsessed with fitness, and became a personal trainer. She doesn't know tech super well. Her names Dara btw. So I set up a community for her... Not rlly expecting her to do anything with it. But instead? She's been posting every day, filled a classroom with advice for women to stay fit and feel young from their 30's all the way into their 70s.... And she's doing it all with a whole foods approach. My moms the reason I've maintained a top 2% fitness regime despite being type 1 diabetic and a workaholic LOL The only sad thing? Only 1 persons joined her community. And so this is a not so subtle ask, if you're a woman, or if you know any women (your mom counts) send them this link: https://www.skool.com/fitlife-7085 Or join yourself just to show support. And in exchange? This can be the 1 post where you promote your own community. I'll highlight 1 community from someone who joins my mom's group. She's a really sweet woman, and she'd smile so much if she saw a couple people join :) That's all. Thanks guys. XOXO, Patrice

First of all I wanted to say welcome to all the new people here! Crazy to see Skool's growth recently! So I wanted to make a quick post sharing 3 use cases for Skool that I don’t see many taking advantage of. We’ve all heard of Free communities, Paid Communities, Free-Paid, even Freemium but here’s some alternative methods of using Skool. First of all, Team communication - If you run your business on Skool, why not use it to communicate with them. Fundamentally it has everything you need. Community tabs for different topics, the classroom for hosting team training and documents, even the calendar for scheduling team calls or daily standups, which will become much cooler once Skool releases their live feature! I’m not saying it has every use case dialled in similar to a slack but most teams don’t need that much, especially in the early stages. If you run a small team here on Skool, why not use it for that too! Let me know in the comments if you’re considering this. The second one is a really cool one, as I just started using Skool this way myself. A Newsletter! Instead of having an opt-in page on a website to sign up to your email newsletter, you can just use a free Skool community to publish it and email it out to all the members. Pretty cool right? This way members can engage and comment with your newsletter and even share it with a friend very easily. I honestly think this is an amazing way to document and share your journey by just simply publishing a weekly newsletter to a free community of fans right here on Skool. + Skool will promote it for free (Discovery + Suggested communities) As mentioned I just launched my own so I’ll keep you people posted on how this use case for Skool goes! Finally something I’ve seen a few big players here on Skool using. In person event groups. We’ve all signed up to in person events and then been added to a clunky whatsapp group right? Well if you host events you could simply create a group right here on Skool for the attendees.

Managing a CRM used to be the hardest part of copywriting for me. I actually delayed even sending emails to my list because I didn't know how to use GHL. And I hated trying to figure out the integrations and the automations to actually send out emails. In fact, I still haven't figured some of them out because they feel so complicated. LOL But then I met Mo. And @Mogene Christensen is a legend with everything CRM wise, especially with GHL. So I asked her if she'd be open to coming into this community and do an hour long training. (despite the fact that she's a busy mama and entrepreneur) And she said, yes! And so we are going to be doing that tomorrow at 9am ET time. And you will all have an opportunity to meet her, show her your CRMs, ask questions, and ultimately learn the ins and outs of how to actually manage your lead flow, emails, and convert more people into paying customers. Mo's going to cover CRM tricks that: - Trigger automations when people aren't active on our email list. - Capture leads as soon as they're hot to tag them properly. - Build sales pages that have the latest innovations with calendars. - And basically just to get the most out of every lead that opts into your funnel. It is Friday at 9a.m. ET. Hope to see you there and keep crushing it with your businesses!
