Off the back of @Jade Jemma birthday post about mental health I just wanted to share some personal thoughts. I’m a single dad raising two kids, 50% of the time and my kids have just recently hit the cool teenage phase. I’ve been starting and running businesses since long before they were born and as they now hit this new phase and they’re a bit too cool to hang out with Dad. I am very much mourning the loss of having little kids that want to spend every second with me. I really thought I had more time 😩 The point I wanted to make is that life is short, and skool is awesome, but let’s also remember why we’re doing this and to make time for ourselves and for our loved ones because once the time’s gone you can never get it back.

Loving it here! I built a free community about Mid-Term Rentals because I find it hard to connect with everyone who are actively doing what I’m doing. I mean who else knows accommodates insurance claims relocations?Not a lot of us. I started my own community and now I can’t believe that making my own group is all it takes to network, teach, and learn. Skool is da best!

Hey hey today is my birthday and some of my Skool friends from the Funhouse Skool community came together for a very special cause... This week is Mental Health Awareness week so we made this video for my birthday to help spread awareness. So many people are affected by mental health issues and the more we talk about it and all learn how to support ourselves and others better, the less people will suffer in silence, or not feel unsupported by those around them. ✅ Please check out our Instagram video and get involved in the conversation in the comments to help us spread awareness. Thank you @Sally How @Goose Dunlavey @Daniel O Keeffe Lydia Kelvin and a big shout out to @bryandiggle for the music and @Cheryl Pearl for the editing! You rock! 🤩 If you have a Skool group/something else that supports peoples mental health/wellbeing please feel to also share below this post here on Skool. (You can also add country specific mental health charities in the comments of the IG post). All shares are welcome and we all welcome everyone reading to join in the conversation 🙌

Here is the consensus... tldr; skool dominates. Context: I'm a developer, a huge tech nerd. Have a YouTube channel with 1m+ subs and 5,000+ paying customers. Done well over 7+ figures in revenue. I have used Teachable, Kajabi, Podia, Heartbeat, Facebook Groups, Discord, Slack, and probably few others I can't think of lol. And spent 100's of hours in the last few weeks trying to pick a solid platform that meets my needs. Yesterday I got on free trials for circle & skool. I spent hours and hours talking to my good friend about the pros and cons. I wanted to join circle so bad because the UI/UX seems SOOO much better on Circle. But skool had simplicty. I couldn't make up my mind. So here's what I decided to do. A live user test. I went to my girlfriend. Opened up a Circle community on the 1st tab. Opened up a Skool community on the 2nd tab. Asked her to use them. I just sat back and watched. Holy mother of hell. She kept clicking on random things in Circle and kept getting confused in terms of how to navigate. She didn't know exactly where the course material was vs. community. vs. members. I then watched her use Skool. She knew EXACTLY where the community was, members, and the course. Here are her exact words... "I don't know how to put it... But Skool just feels familiar." And in my head I was like "Yes it does lol. Because it's Facebook". I then asked my girlfriend to rate her experience on both platforms. She said 6/10 on Circle. She said 9/10 on Skool. I then sat down and started building my course modules on Skool. The experience was better than ANY course builders experience than I've ever had. It's fast. It's simple AF. and it genuinely inspired me to build. It was a similar experience i've had when I used beehiiv for emails. It blew Convertkit and everything else out of the water for me. So... I think I'm going to be going with Skool. I'm still in the 14 day trial. Haven't started paying just yet. But I think very soon I will be.

How much would you be willing to pay every month for a business + mental health program/community on Skool? I'm looking to get my first paying customers with this niche in mind.
