On average, 19 people touch this before you buy it. What is it? This one is hard @Kristi Rieke Just putting that out there!

When @Heather Boers says don’t stay invisible she knows what a difference it makes! 5 full months, and our BYOB community is about to cross 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ 500 MEMBERS!!! 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ I wasn’t sure I wanted to build on Skool. Then I met a powerful woman on YouTube, and she changed my mind. THEN I had a zoom session with her. AND THEN Arlan Hamilton told me to start a Skool. She encouraged me to focus on the community and bring women together, just like I had across Meta platforms. Her instructions: let go of vanity metrics or believing my building seasons were over. So I did. And we’re just six Bombshells away from our goal. Just six. It’s amazing what happens when you find someone to shake you out of your funk. 5 things that changed to build to 500: 1️⃣ I got sincere and straightforward in other Skool communities. I legit played and talked and found Skool friends. I stopped being a quiet observer. 2️⃣ I started sharing behind the scenes of building. I talked in real time about what was working and what was noteworthy coming to a new platform. I shared the perspectives in various communities and conversations. 3️⃣ I believed that every single day was a chance to meet new members on this platform. I wanted to meet owners and builders and get to know their stories and struggles. And just have a good time together. 4️⃣ I focused on 400 personal activities a day. I knew I was going to have to put in the sweat equity to build the organic side of this project. 5️⃣ I picked 5 strong, interesting communities to rise in daily. And made it a goal to focus on them and move to level five as quickly as possible with conversations. As I rose on leaderboards, I added new communities to my list to make new friends. I have a new fun community goal… Do you?

If you’re in the start up phase of business right now, this one might feel like a later problem. But later has a funny way of showing up fast. 😉 I want to give a shout-out to Garrett, the creator behind Skoot CRM, who’s building something really powerful for Skool creators and growing communities. Skoot is all about making sure the human side of your business doesn’t get lost when things start to grow… follow-ups don’t fall through the cracks, people who cancel or struggle with payments don’t disappear without a conversation and your DMs don’t turn into a mess. What I love most is that this isn’t just a “big business” tool. It’s a growing business tool. One of those things you tuck in the back of your mind and think, “When this really takes off, I already know what I’m using.” Garrett’s building Skoot CRM with creators in mind, and it shows. Small community, big vision, and a lot of heart behind the system. This one is worth having on your radar now… even if “now” is just planting the seed. 👉 Check out Skoot CRM here (7 day free trial) And Garrett, if you see this… love what you’re creating. Keep going. This kind of tool helps good communities grow without losing their minds!

Hey friends, it's time to give you a quick intro to who I am and share an idea I think could be really helpful for a lot of people! Take a minute to watch the video below, and then try this with someone you admire! Here’s a simple script you can copy and use when you make your post or send your message: I wanted to share [NAME]’s work with the directory on Skool.[NAME] creates [WHAT THEY CREATE], and I genuinely admire them because [WHY YOU ADMIRE THEIR WORK / WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL]. Once you’ve posted your shout-out in the Directory Listings category, screenshot it and send it to them with a quick note like: “Hey, I just featured you in the directory on Skool. You should really come check this out.” Don’t forget to include your unique referral link so you’re connected to their journey if they decide to explore this space. If this idea feels good to you, drop a comment below. I’d love to see who you choose to spotlight. ⭐And one more small thing that makes a big difference. When you post a listing, take a minute to interact with three other listings too. Leave a kind comment, ask a question, or cheer someone on. That little bit of support helps boost visibility for everyone, keeps the directory feeling alive, and turns this into a space where people don’t just get seen, they get backed.

I’m opening a new space that works like a community bulletin board for upcoming talks, workshops, gatherings, and collaborations. This is open to both free and paid events, with one non-negotiable rule: 𝐁𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 about what people are signing up for. If your event requires payment, it must be clearly labeled as 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐃. If it’s free to attend, label it as 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄. Registration links are welcome either way. If your event is hosted inside a private or paid community for those members only, posting it here is a Premium/VIP feature. If your event is open to the public or a multi-community collaboration (making it open to the public), it can be shared here by all members. Create your own post and tag it with the "𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 & 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬" category. This keeps it easy for people to choose what feels right for them. If you’re creating something meaningful and want to invite others in, this is your place to share it.
