🚨 Quick Community Pulse Check 🚨 I’m genuinely curious… How many of you have actually made real money online? (Not “likes,” not “views,” not “potential”… I mean actual dollars hitting your account.) Drop your answer below:

🤔 Would You Be Interested? 🎓 Join Mark’s Free “ScaleSkool” Workshop →. Get me started with the KoolSchool community outline to build my own community. Hey! Quick pulse check 👇 🚨 Founders-Only Beta (Maybe) I’m considering opening a new tier ($19-$47/mo) in this community—but only if enough people want it. It’s built to launch your Skool community the right way so it pays you back (not just your hobby time). Inside this tier you’d get: • ✅ Skool 101 → Pro: the exact settings, structures, and workflows that actually grow. • ✅ Irresistible core offer: nail the promise, price, bonuses, and guarantee. • ✅ A free “magnet” course: designed to attract members and convert them into customers. • ✅ Community funnel, done-with-you: set up → launch → momentum plan to turn free members into paid. Why now? I’ll greenlight this if enough people raise their hands. Founding spots will be limited and charter pricing will be locked in for early joiners. If we don’t hit the interest threshold, we won’t launch it. Want in? Drop “LAUNCH” below or DM me LAUNCH and I’ll send details. First replies get priority access when/if doors open. ⏳🔥 Would you join this? 👇

“The Hardest Lessons I Ever Learned… and What They Taught Me About Life, Trust, and Becoming Unbreakable.” By Dr. Mark Zupo Are you unemployed yet? You will be. Bankrupt yet? You will be. Foreclosed yet? You might be. Homeless yet? You could be. I want to tell you a story today, and I want to tell it without polish, without filters, and without pretending the journey was anything less than brutal. Because sometimes the things that break you… are the same things that build you. My story doesn’t start with success. It doesn’t start with a breakthrough moment, or a mentor, or a stroke of luck. It starts at seventeen. Homeless. Hungry. Eating crackers and ketchup from a gas station because that was the only “meal” I could afford. People talk about rock bottom like it’s a metaphor. For me, it was a place. A real place. I lived at a garbage dump for nearly a decade. Not as a visitor. Not as a tourist in someone else’s tragedy. But as someone who learned how to survive off what the world threw away. And yet… ironically… that’s where I met the most honest people I’d ever known. People who had nothing to prove… and nothing left to hide. Life taught me early: Most people think they understand hardship. But hardship… hardship is a teacher that speaks in a language only the broken can hear. Years later, I built a life. A family. A career. Businesses. Homes. Cars. Airplanes. Vacations. The ability to be generous — and I loved being generous. My house was full of people. My pool. My table. My life. And then tragedy came for me again. I lost my son to a drunk driver. I lost my wife to cancer. And I lost everything I spent thirty years building — the money, the properties, the stability… Bankruptcy. Foreclosure. Silence. And here’s where the real lesson came… All the people who swam in my pool, flew in my planes, rode in my cars, vacationed with me, laughed with me, benefitted from me… They disappeared. I can count on one hand — with fingers left over — how many stayed.

Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they’re stuck. They’ve got an idea. A skill. A fire in their gut. But there’s one urgent problem stopping them from getting started: - they don’t know what to build first - they don’t know how to package what they know - they don’t know how to get people to care - and they sure as hell don’t want to join another community of strangers just to “network.” - So here’s the play: Build a lead magnet that solves the urgent problem blocking your people right now. Not a “freebie.” Not a PDF graveyard. A real solution that gets them moving. Then promote it everywhere. Because when you lead with progress, people pay attention. This works for one simple reason: people don’t wake up thinking, “I want to join a community.” They wake up thinking, “I need to fix this problem.” And if you promise to help them get closer to their goal? They’ll join for that. Then they stay for the community—if the place is cool, useful, and full of real humans getting results. That’s KoolSchool. We don’t collect members. We create momentum. If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start building something people actually want…come in. Join KoolSchool here: https://www.skool.com/koolschoolfree/about?ref=ce481bc30721489090de83ab8b1f43a5 Let me make this simple. People don’t fail because they aren’t smart. They fail because they’re stuck—usually on one urgent problem that keeps them from starting. And here’s what most creators get wrong: they try to build a community first…before they’ve given people a reason to join. Because nobody wants to jump into a room full of strangers just to “hang out.” That’s not a goal. That’s awkward. So here’s the move: build a lead magnet that solves the urgent problem your audience is dealing with right now. Something that gets them unstuck and moving in minutes, not months. Then promote that thing everywhere.

🔥 The Truth: My Ignorance Cost Me More Than My Intelligence Ever Could Mark Twain said: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you in trouble. It’s what you know that ain’t so.” I used to think that quote was clever. Now I know it’s terrifyingly accurate — because I lived it. Here’s the part most people don’t know about me: I didn’t just lose a little. I didn’t take a “dip.” I didn’t have a “rough patch.” I lost millions. My rental properties? Gone. My home? Gone. My cars? Gone. My airplanes? Gone. My income? Obliterated. My credibility? Shattered. I didn’t lose it all because I was stupid. I lost it because I was confidently wrong. I believed things that simply weren’t true: • “Real estate always goes up.” • “Multiple streams of income mean I’m safe.” • “You can’t lose if you leverage big.” • “I’m too experienced to fail on that level.” • “It’ll turn around. It always does.” None of those were true. But I operated like they were facts. And that — not my lack of intelligence — is what cost me everything. Ignorance disguised as certainty is the most expensive mistake you can make in your life. Because you don’t fix what you don’t think is broken. I learned the hard way: What you think you know can bankrupt your future. ⚠️ Here’s Your Warning You don’t need to lose millions to learn the lesson. You don’t need to watch your world collapse. You don’t need to rebuild from rubble. But you do need to stop trusting the beliefs that have kept you stuck: • “I don’t know enough to start.” • “I need more time before I build something.” • “I’m not ready yet.” • “My story isn’t valuable.” • “Digital products are too complicated.” These are the same kind of lies that cost me everything. They’re polite. They sound reasonable. But they quietly destroy your future. This is why most people never break through: It’s not what they don’t know — it’s what they think they know that simply isn’t true. 🔥 Enter KoolSchool Creator — Your Lifeline Before You Learn the Hard Way
