I uploaded my first 4 videos on youube! Are they good? No, but I started. It's not pretty but again, I started. I already want to quit but I'm not going to. As an artist I've painted so many bad paintings, I've made so many jewelry pieces that sucked but I stuck with it and ended up winning awards. So here we are, making terrible videos. My youtube is laurarobsonstudio. I've been an artist for 30 years and I know I can help people, I just don't know how yet so I'm kind of all over the place and kind of waiting for a comment or feedback from my channel to know what people want. I have my 5th video in the editing phase and will post that in the next day.

After watching a few of Brian's YouTube videos just a week ago, I finally took action and created my first Skool. It's a free community (in Swedish) helping people implement AI & Vibe Coding in their lives and small businesses. I'm thrilled to say I already have 25 active members who seem genuinely happy with the contributions in the Classroom and community. It feels amazing to see it come to life so fast! I have a strategic question for the group (and Brian) regarding the "Playbook": My initial plan was to keep it free until I reach a critical mass (maybe 100-150 members) and then switch the entire community to a paid monthly subscription model. However, I'm now also considering the hybrid model: Keeping the community open and free to maximize growth, but having specific "Masterclass" sections in the Classroom locked behind a paywall. For those of you with experience: Which model do you prefer? Is it better to gate the entire community eventually, or keep the flow of new members coming in and only monetize specific high-value courses inside?

If you’ve ever tried to start an online business and then stopped, stalled, or second-guessed yourself....this post will help you understand why. Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy, unmotivated, or incapable. They get stuck because they run into the same predictable problems that almost no one talks about clearly. Below are the 10 most common problems people face when trying to start an online business, especially if you’re mid-career, experienced, and have already tried a few things before. If several of these hit close to home, that’s normal. It's also fixable. 𝟏. 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 This is the #1 problem. And why this community exists. Too many ideas. Too many opinions. Too many “proven” models online. So instead of choosing one, people stay stuck choosing none. The clarity you're searching for comes from filtering down to what actually fits you. Not by adding more options. 2. 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 Research feels productive… but it often becomes a hiding place. And if you're not careful, you might never escape. People get stuck comparing tools, platforms, niches, and business models instead of making progress. Overthinking creates the illusion of safety. It's killing your business dreams. 3. 𝑳𝒐𝒘 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑷𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒔 Many people aren’t starting from zero. They’re starting from disappointment. Previous side hustles that didn’t work leave scars: “Maybe I’m just not good at this.” “I should be further along by now.” That baggage slows everything down. 4. 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 Time hits differently once you’re in your 40s or 50s. Every new idea feels like a gamble. People worry they don’t have the runway to “figure it out” anymore. This fear often leads to total paralysis. 5. 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 (𝑨𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏) We've all bought them... Courses Software Coaching Tools Many people have already spent money trying to get something off the ground and didn’t get results. So now every investment feels risky, even when the real issue wasn’t the tool, but the lack of clarity and execution.

I just added a Level 3 unlock inside the classroom. When you hit 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝟑, you’ll unlock: ✅ About Page templates ✅ Classroom templates ✅ A Loom tutorial showing exactly how to use them These are designed to help you build faster and avoid staring at a blank Skool page. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 (𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫): • 1 like = 1 point • Comments and posts earn points • Level 3 = 20 points You could literally get there today. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈’𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: In Skool, most people stay at Level 1 forever. But once someone participates even a little… their behavior changes. And if you plan to run your own community, this is exactly the game you’ll be playing too. Fastest way to Level 3: Drop a comment below or make a post to introduce yourself. People will like it. You’ll level up. Templates unlock. Simple as that.
