The number 6 shows up in ages like 36, 46, and 56. And for whatever reason, those numbers always hit differently. Thirty-six is closer to 40 than it is to 30. Forty-six is closer to 50 than it is to 40. And fifty-six is closer to 60 than it is to 50. For the past few years, I’ve been closer to 50 than I was to 60. But today? Today I’m officially closer to 60 than I am to 50. Yes, it’s my birthday. 🎂 🥳🥳 And birthdays have a way of stirring up reflection — especially about the things we meant to do “later.” A lot of regret doesn’t come from bad choices. It comes from postponing life while being responsible. They've followed the steps of Pay everything off first. Build up your emergency savings Get your investments going Think about the kids, retirement, wealth, and everything else. But somewhere along the way, life became all about the things you should do with your money and less about living your life. The fun was forgotten. The kids grew up and the big family vacation never happened. The dreams and plans you had for your life got put in a corner All in the name of being responsible and doing what you're supposed to do with your money. - But what if you can be responsible with your money AND enjoy your life at the same time? - What if you don't have to put fun on the back burner any more? - What if you can squash the regrets, be responsible with your money, and actually enjoy the life you've always wanted. That’s what Money for Real Life is about. It’s about helping people stop feeling like money is something they have to constantly manage and stress over, and start using it as a tool to support the life they actually want to live. - Not someday. - Not after everything is perfect. - But now, in real life, as it is. This community is a place to talk about real money challenges, build practical systems, and move out of living paycheck to paycheck just to be responsible with your money and into something that sets your soul on fire. Something that makes you feel excited about every paycheck that shows up.

I just watched the latest Skool News #43 (yes, a day late, oops) and first up, let me say this loud because context matters, I FRICKEN LOVE SKOOL. Met epic humans, built real connections, friendships, collabs, clients, all of it. Big WOOP for Skool always n 4eva… But something they said made my brain go hmmmm (it does that alot) They were talking about people being “discovered through Skool” (I think as in Skool Discovery) and I instantly checked in with myself and thought… have I ever actually done that? And my answer is no I have not I’ve never gone into Discovery, searched for something I wanted to learn or grow with, and joined a community cold. When I HAVE clicked around Discovery, it’s been with my business brain on, being nosy, looking at structure and vibes, about pages, etc., etc. (let's be honest, we all do it), but not because I was looking for somewhere to land. Every single community I’ve ever joined came from something happening OUTSIDE first. A post. A comment. Seeing someone a few times. A recommendation. A HUMAN moment before the join. So when Skool says people are discovered through Skool, my gut wonders… is it actually Discovery. Or is it that they saw you somewhere else, then came to Skool to check you out, and that’s where the join happened? Those feel like very different things to me Which is why I think what happens OUTSIDE the community matters so much. The conversations. The connection. The vibe. The energy. The stuff that makes someone want to step inside before they ever read an About page, So I wanna ask with a tilting head, full of I wanna, need to know this 🤘 Have you ever actually joined a Skool community straight from Discovery? No prior connection. No seeing them elsewhere. Just searched, clicked, joined. And if you have, what made you say yes. I’m so so curious because my lived experience says connection comes first, platform comes second. But I’m open to being wrong. Talk to me, Mimi x x x WOOP.

Right now, 32% of this Classifieds community is sitting at Level 1, and another 22% is at Level 2. I guarantee that none of us joined this space just to observe. We joined because we want our businesses, ideas, and passions to gain traction. Traction doesn’t come from staying on the sidelines. It comes from putting your feet on the field and joining the gam. You have to show up, engaging, and letting people see what you’re building... you have to PLAY to WIN! So let’s make this simple... just comment on this post. I guarantee you’ll move to Level 2 by the end of the day, and potentially Level 3!

MYTH: More content = more value. REALITY: More content often creates more confusion. I see course creators panic and respond the same way: They add another module, another bonus, another “just in case” lesson. It feels generous, but it also quietly breaks the learning experience. Here’s what actually happens when you overload a course: - Students can’t tell what matters most, so they do nothing first. - The “path” disappears, and the course becomes a content library. - Momentum drops because progress stops feeling measurable. - You get lower completion, fewer wins, and softer testimonials. Value isn’t measured in minutes of video.Value is measured in capability: what your student can confidently do after. If you want your course to feel premium and produce results, design for: - a clear sequence (this → then this → then this) - practice opportunities (not just explanations) - application (so students can make decisions without you) - tight scope (so “finished” is achievable) A high-quality course doesn’t say, “Here’s everything I know.”It says, “Here’s what you need to master, on purpose.” If you’re building (or rebuilding) a course right now, check out Your Best Course Experience inside of the Build Lab, it walks you through the exact process and frameworks you need to build with clarity, intention, and implementation so that you can stand out in your niche and scale exponentially.
