I've been thinking about the metrics that I want to focus on moving forward and how I want to judge success. The goal of this community has always been visibility and meaningful connections. As I've seen other communities grow faster, sometimes it's been a struggle to maintain the bar of only allowing Skoolers in. I get tons of requests every day that I turn down. The vanity metrics could be a lot higher. The reason I've stayed true to the original intention of the group is because I honestly believe that it is the right decision in the long-run and that it directly relates to the quality of the group as a whole - and it doesn't negatively affect anyone's visibility because we are a public group that can be seen by anyone. As I was thinking more about what to watch in terms of metrics, I decided to take a look at a few other larger communities to evaluate where we stand in terms of active members, which I believe is an important indicator of the health of your community. These screenshots below were taken within minutes of each other. Yes, this only represents that people are online in Skool and not necessarily this community, but if people aren't logging in to Skool at all, that's an even bigger problem. So, in a nutshell, I'm moving forward with my commitment to make this a community for Skoolers only, and I hope that at the end of the day, the quality of the interactions that you have in the community, during masterclasses, and in the live meetups will continue to prove that this is the right decision.

👋Hey friends! I’m preparing a new free resource with 30 low-budget, easy-to-make dinner ideas, and I’d love your input. When dinner time comes and energy is already low… which kitchen gadget helps you the most? Are you Team Air Fryer for quick crispy meals? Or Team Slow Cooker for “throw it in and let it do its thing” dinners? Comment below: 🔥 Air Fryer 🥘 Slow Cooker ✨ Both 😅 Neither, I need stovetop/oven ideas too I want to make sure these dinner ideas are actually useful for real busy evenings — not complicated “Pinterest perfect” meals nobody has the patience for. 😄💛

I HAVE 109 PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY. (THE BACKROOM) And I am going to be really fcking honest about something… I used to think that number was something to apologise for. And before you say… apologising to WHO Mimi… Nobody. That's the point. Nobody asked me to. Nobody was judging the number. Nobody was sat there going ooh only 109… embarrassing… That was just me. In my own head. Doing that thing we do 😂 That voice going… you should be further along by now… ooo look at them… why can't you do that… what's wrong with you… Yeah. That one. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗴… 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚… Scrolling through going… why is my community growing so slow… how have THEY got 500 members in one day… WOW they just hit 5K… And then the really fun (not) bit where your brain goes… maybe I'm just not cut out for this… maybe I'm missing something everyone else knows… maybe I should just do what they're doing… 😬 yeah… been there?… don't pretend you haven't… Watching everyone brag about their numbers whilst quietly feeling a bit crap about mine. Hands up. I have chased the number. I have celebrated the number. I have let the number mean something it absolutely never meant. And I spent WAY too much energy watching that crap out there… Energy that was doing absolutely NAFF ALL for the 109 epic humans already sitting inside my room… Then something shifted. No more. DONE. All that wasted time out there watching other people's dashboards and quietly dying inside… coming back in HERE. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵.𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗠. 🔥 Because here is what I know now that I did not know then… 𝗔 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬𝟵 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽… 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧… 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗢 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱… is worth more than a room of 10,000 people who scroll past and do absolutely nothing with it. OBVS. HELLO. DUH. 😂 A community where people DM me and I actually respond. Where someone joins at $1 and six months later they are doing a one on one with me because the trust was built properly… like a human… through support… real convos… and yeah… lots of giggles and fun along the way 😂

One thing that makes dinner so stressful is when everyone’s preferences eliminate your choices and suddenly even simple meals feel hard 😅 A trick that helps: make the meal, then add one familiar ingredient picky eaters usually approve of. A few easy combos: - White beans + bacon - Lentils + sliced sausage - Peas + bacon bits - Mashed potatoes + sausage - Pasta bake + bacon + cheese - Veggie soup + crispy bacon on top Sometimes it’s not the whole meal they dislike… it just needs a more familiar flavor to make it feel safer and more comforting. That’s the kind of easy, realistic dinner help I share inside my free Skool community, The Lazy Dinner Club 💛 Click here to join
