My top 10 members do these 4 things
After years of being in and running masterminds I’ve found the following to be true regardless of investment 👇 If you have 100 people all being taught the same stuff… 10 of them will be the loudest and do the most. They will carry the group. They’ll be the most successful. The next 40 will show up periodically and will have limited success. The bottom 50 will largely do nothing. There are of course exceptions to these rules. One of my members said they wanted to be in my top 10. I recorded a video for my Mindset Skool community with these four characteristics. 1. Show up 2. Do all the things 3. Do them over and over 4. Do them for a long time You will win because 90% won’t stick. They’ll fade. Winning is easy when you understand these 4 rules. You don’t need to be the best. You need to be the most stubborn.

What is everyone up to today?
It's Sunday, we have people from all the world in this growing community. It might already be Monday for some. How do you typically spend your Sundays? Let's get to know each other a bit more.

Quick update on PYOB (Pick Your Online Business)
Reminder: Please read this post and vote. I started this community less than two months ago and we are already up to 172 members. This has all been organic. No ads. And I'm an ads guy. I've made money from this community in two ways. 1. Affiliates 2. Upgrades Several members have started their own Skool communities using my affiliate link. Because I show you how. Thank you! Several members have moved to Mindset Skool as the logical next step. This community teaches you what business to start + the direction. Mindset Skool helps you implement. People are finding this community from my YouTube channel and Skool. Whether from my activities in Skoolers or people coming to Skool and searching. This community shows up in search when you type in "online business". You can build a profitable community around your idea as long as it's: 1. A real problem/need for the market 2. Simple to explain 3. Simple for the customer to execute on You don't need to know everything about your audience right away. You can use a free skool community to bring the audience together and learn from them. Then build the offer based on their feedback and common responses. It's how I built Mindset Skool from zero to 280+ members in under 9 months. Thank you all for being here. Half of January is already over. Don't wait another day. 2027 will be here in a heartbeat.

I’ll be joining Mindset Skool once I’ve gone through the material in here. I want to get the whole experience from free to paid so I can learn the most.
Using a Skool Community to Validate an Online Business Idea
When I opened this community on November 25th, I didn’t have a big launch plan. I had one very specific goal: Solve one problem for one group of people. That problem was simple… “What online business should I start?” Fast forward to today (January 10th): • 155 members • 37.7% About Page conversion rate • Grown mostly through YouTube and email • This group is the lead magnet • This group is the email list No funnels. No daily posting hamster wheel. Just one public Skool community built around one clear problem. Here’s why I’m sharing this… A lot of people in here have told me they’re not ready for Mindset Skool yet, and that’s completely fine. There’s no rush and no pressure. But I am curious about something. Would it be helpful to you to see exactly how I used a public Skool community like this as: • A lead magnet • A way to gather the right people • A place to validate ideas before building products • An audience you actually own • A clean path to eventually flipping paid (when it makes sense) This post is me doing what I teach. I have an idea. I’m validating it before building anything. If there’s interest, I’ll put something together that goes deeper on the mechanics, decisions, and mistakes... likely as a small paid resource inside the classroom or a paid tier. If you’re already in Mindset Skool, you already have access to this stuff. This would be for people who want to go deeper without jumping there yet. So let me ask you directly… Would you want to learn how to use a public Skool community as a lead magnet to validate ideas and build an audience? Leave your vote below ⬇️

I find all of this so fascinating, I’m new to Skool and hungry to learn.
Welcome to Pick Your Online Business 🔥
If you're here, it's because you want to start an online business but you're not sure which one is right for you. You're in the right place. I'm Brian. I spent 25 years in corporate sales, tried 26 different side hustles, and wasted years going in circles before I figured out what actually works. I built this community so you don't have to do the same. Here's what we do here: We help you stop spinning, pick the right idea, and start moving in the right direction without wasting months going down the wrong path. That's it. One problem. One solution. Here's what to do first: The #1 mistake people make when they join is skipping straight to research mode. Don't do that. Instead, go to the classroom and start with Step 0. It takes less than 5 minutes and it does something research never does... it forces a decision. 👉 Click here to start Step 0 Once you've done that, come back to the community and drop your idea in the Step 0 post. I personally read every single one and I'll respond. A few things worth knowing: You don't need a perfect idea. You need a starting point. You don't need to have it all figured out. You need to take one step. And if you've tried this before and stopped, that's not a character flaw. There's a reason it keeps happening and we deal with that here too. Introduce yourself below if you'd like. Tell me who you are, what you've tried, and what kind of life you're trying to build. I read everything. Welcome aboard. - Brian 🔥

Hi all! I’m Paul from London, England. I’ve been working a 9-5 for nearly 30 years, however in the last few years I’ve yearned to start coaching and run my own business. I’ve been immersed in that world for those few years, joining various communities without actually actioning my dream. Enough. The time is now.
