1. First 20 members (currently at 16) 2. First $1 income 3. An actual MRR - maybe $100? 4. Fire emoji (2 weeks to go) I'm wondering if an actual income will make me care about Skool games? I havent been in the slightest bit interested so far, but wonder whether if i make a threshold income then do I morph into some kind of wrestler and start saying CRUSHHING all the time?

It’s the first free course in the group: a practical collection of resources, prompts and starting points to help you plan your room, choose useful tools, avoid unnecessary gear spirals, and start making something. A few extra resource pages will keep growing, but the core Toolkit is ready now. No perfect room required. Just start. Join here: skool.com/room-to-record

I realised something this morning while reading about the fire emoji and how it works. I started my Skool group like many people, for a variety of reasons. One of those was friction and dissatisfaction in my day job, but also having the freedom to put time into something else with (huge) potential. This was a chance to do something fun, creative and even the idea of making money from it was nice if not the main goal. But over time as I think a lot of people are finding - it changes. It evolves, and it actually now looks like something VERY INTERESTING and rather FAMILIAR. I have actually rebuilt my day job. All the things I need to be doing to grow and monetise, all the content I am creating, all the lessons and experience and skills. This not only looks like a redesign of the day job - but is also NEEDS to be a day job. By that I mean I have been keeping it light and fun, so it’s been this side project that’s ticking loads of boxes. But to get to the next level - I think I need to Turn Pro (see Steven Pressfield’s book on this). In other words - stop enjoying the side project, and treat it like the main event. Turn up. Contribute. Engage. Stimulate. React. Discuss. Create. So now starts the next chapter. And I figured this was a great place to share it.

Hi everyone - of course we have all been talking about skool group cards a lot lately and i have updated mine several times. But I am just wondering what other things people have noticed making a difference to visitors, ranking, and general growth? I feel like i have suddenly been able to shift from creating content and planning, to creating content, planning AND engaging. But I am just wondering what people find has the most noticeable effect? I am guessing its not liking a ton of posts, although that does make the dots green!!

I've been experimenting a bit with my group image, since all the growth boost narrative from Kirby-Ovens and the spikes in attention we have been getting (I have gone from 6 to 13 members in the last week). Here's my current image (that I made after last week's skool news), and the one I am working on now based on the templates from Template Skool by Sal Frances (as mentioned in Skool News this week). Which one is better?
