@Justin Georgopoulos is a 26-year-old entrepreneur who runs a hugely successful painting business and the Trade Launch Skool Community. In this episode, we talk about: - Pretending he knew how to debone a chicken to get a job - The mythical movie moment of meeting his mentor - Selling over $500k in paint jobs without knowing how to paint - (Or having any painters on payroll!) - The power of viewing your struggles in the context of a story - Hiring his roommates and friends to keep up the pace of his business - Having his work van stolen… thrice! - A nifty door-to-door closing technique you can use online - How he built up demand for his community pre-launch - Learning to chew faster after biting off more than you can chew! - And how Skool allows you to profit from your pain and previous business problems Check it out!

One of the great things about these being the relative early years of Skool is all the seriously cool custom URLs up for grabs. Once you're ready and are 100% sure what you want (because you can only do this once) you can email Skool Help to confirm availability and hopefully grab your ideal extension to go after 'Skool.com/'. So far, I've snaffled the words 'writing' and, as of today, 'metal'. 🔥🤘💀 Love the simplicity and brevity of these. They can so appear in an Instagram reel or YT video and be easily remembered. There's no need for link in bio when URLs are this short. So which custom URL word(s) are you happy to have claimed for your own group, thereby ensuring that future Skool community owners curse your name?

@Mike Morales You are an animal!! Or a racecar!! OR a racecar with leopard legs !!! Your engagement this week is OFF THE CHARTS

Anyone else noticing how fast this community is growing & how many new communities are being started every day. It’s nuts. I stumbled across a thread that @Mike Morales posted a couple of weeks ago about Skool passing the 1 million member mark. @Sam Ovens quickly jumped in and confessed that the number of Skool memberships blew past 1 mil a while ago now. Which ultimately means more adoption, more users, more word of mouth and more new community members for everyone in here 🙌 I know there are several other good platforms where people can build communities, but there’s something about Skool that’s just different. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s just a feeling I get being here. Anyone else get this?
