On May 13, the CLASSIFIEDS own @Matthew Burns (also of Proveworth and monday.com fame) will be hosting a masterclass called Mental Strength For Entrepreneurs. This is one you won't want to miss! I've worked with entrepreneurs from beginning to multiple six-figure and I can say for certain that the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship never ends, it just looks a bit different at each stage of the game. Here is what Matt has to say: Most entrepreneurship content skips the part where it's actually hard. The self-doubt. The whiplash between conviction and panic. The days when nothing ships and you wonder if you're built for this. Matt Burns has been in the room where companies explode with growth and he's been the solo founder staring at a blank screen at midnight. After nearly a decade at monday.com (US employee #1 through IPO, managing 87 people across three continents), he walked away to build ProveWorth from scratch. This masterclass shares the mental infrastructure that makes sustainable building possible - how to think clearly under pressure, how to recover fast when things break, and how to stay in motion when the feedback loops disappear. You'll leave with a framework you can actually use the next time things get hard because we know they will.

If you are a Premium member (only $3/month), you are invited to join us on Thursday for our bi-weekly PERSONALS meetup. And, no, it's not a dating meetup! It's an opportunity to connect with fellow serious CLASSIFIEDS members, talk about your community without worry if you are "self-promoting," and learn more about a topic that is on everyone's mind. This month we will be talking about churn - what it means, if you should care, and how to reduce it. It's a round table discussion for everyone to learn from each other, and the conversation is always rich. Please check the calendar for times in your time zone. See you there!

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.
