Transcript: Hello, it's Simple! Yay! And we are moving into the six steps of the Simple Six Skool Workshop that opened last Saturday. That's right, there are actually six spots still available this month, if you would like to hop in on that. This is the Simple, S-I-M-P-L-E Six Steps, over six weeks for implementation and growth, right, to make sure you don't just get set up, that you actually get started, and more importantly, that you keep growing.Yes, so this is good for starting a fresh new Skool for you or your business. This is good for a Skool you set up but maybe didn't start or that's kind of flatlined and maybe stagnating a little bit. And this is good for your Skool that's going great, but you'd like to optimize for growth boost a little bit, revisit the basics, and refresh, renew, revitalize your Skool.And that's what we do here in the Wise Wonderful World with me, your host, Wendy of Wiseman Integrative. We are the home of happier, healthier humans, creating a better world together, simplifying what it means to have and enjoy a healthy, wealthy, wise life. And Skool is a big part of that because it keeps it so simple, focused on connection, on relationships.It's not just an online e-learning platform, another course container, like we need another one of those, right? It's really about connection. The goal of Skool is to help a billion people find community, not help a billion people start online communities with courses and talk at people and spout thought leadership. No, it's about helping people find the right people, community, connection, coming together around a common cause or interest or outcome or experience, right, or your business.Yes, there's so many different ways to use Skool. It is an absolutely incredible tool. Max thought he was going to come see us, but he decided to go outside instead. Yes. Whoa, that was weird. My computer did something strange.So today I'm going to set up. I'm going to show you how simple it is. I'm going to set up with no graphics or anything prepared.I'm just going to go ahead and set up this new project that I'm starting for a game I've been playing called Kingshot. I do do a lingo German lessons to start to learn German just daily a little bit every day. And when I forget to turn off the ad blocker, I get fed ads.And one of them is Kingshot. And I tried it last year, but didn't like all of the clicking, repetitive behavior. But this year I clicked through it as a behavior that helped me when I was in a funk because I really wasn't that into it.I was doing it more as something to occupy my being while I could process some other things. And once you get through the initial stages, there's a wonderful community alliance and strategy game behind the beginning rote stages. And so I'm going to start a community to help other Kingshot beginner F2P, which is free to play, players get their start without all of the hype in so many of the YouTube videos.You know, I'm not an online gamer. I'm a non-gamer as far as the online realm. I played board games and things all my life.I love games, but I'm not a gamer, right? Per the modern online definition or association with the word. So I'm not up on a lot of the lingo or, you know, the voice chats and all of this, you know, the way they navigate and stuff. And a lot of us are just there to play a casual game and have fun, not spend money.Now the game does promote a lot of spending. And there are people that spend a lot of money, the pay to win, there's the pay to play P2P and the pay to win whales that are dropping a lot of money on this. But you can have a wonderful, enriching, fun experience without spending any money.You just farm the gems and there's strategies and ways to do that. And it's simple and it's fun. And I'm meeting some really incredible people.So I'm going to start right here right now. I'm going to set up the community to do that. It's just going to be a relaxed space where I'll do some YouTube videos.And then for a premium membership, people can hop on calls with me, right? They can support the information that I'm sharing and hop on calls with me. And VIP gets a little bit more one-to-one attention. Simple.One, two, three. How hard can it be? Let's take a look. Here we are in the Wyze Skool Community Hub, the public portal, delivering you all sorts of wonderful Wyze information about Skool and the healthy, wealthy Wyze life.How many times did I just say Wyze? Yeah, a lot about Skool. It's a lot more of a blog style. Notice all the posts are pretty much from me delivering information in these lives.It's a public portal and less of the community aspect, more of the presenting information. That's why it's public. It gets indexed by search engines and increases search and AI results, bringing people in to the Wyzeman Integrative Skool ecosystem, the hub of the three core communities I have going here on my profile.This, the community hub, where you learn about growing, building and growing, Skool building and growth. And then showcase, where you put your Skool in the spotlight. Or join the showcase squad for promotional productions.You don't have to have a Skool to participate. And then the Enjoy Simple Wyze Life is more the lifestyle community with daily happiness episodes. I love doing those. Other people love the relevant reminders. A lot of people don't show up daily, but they'll check in every once in a while and take away some feel-good prompts and activities. Up here you will see that my solid green of two and a half years has gotten some little gray spots as I've pulled back to some days my minimum daily, minimum viable activities, three activities. I keep up consistently with my daily minimums. But there have been some pulling back and largely focusing on the game and just life, right? Enjoying my life. And I lost the little flame emoji over here.And I didn't care. It's just an indicator that someone is all in. And I'm definitely proven that I'm all in.And I'm still going strong, even though it's not that solid 10 activities a day green. Because I just wasn't interested in continuing to click through seven more times. I came, I did my business, and I went about my life.So there you have it. All right. To start a community, there's different ways.Sometimes there's links over here. It's usually available in a Skool's classroom. You can find a place to start a Skool, usually in a classroom.Skool signups, et cetera. I'm going to pull up my friends link. You can also go to just what's going on? I'm sharing my screen.Okay. You can go right up here to the discovery, just above the discovery tab, discover communities is the create a community tab, right? And if you create a community, I would like for it to say Wendy Wiseman invited you up here at the top. You can hop on a call with me to walk you through doing just that.Why is this so dark here? Let me find my friends link. Search. There it is. I am using the link of the most notorious man on Skool, Joe DeFilippo, who is the creator, founder, and operator of Skooly, which I highly recommend you check out. Fabulous tools for a Skool. I'm going to just create my community.I always sign up for the pro plan for the free trial because it has some extra features. And then if you need to downgrade to the hobby, you can, but if you do have the profitable Skool quick start, like I guide you into having, then you can just stay with the pro for the extra features. If it's something you need, a lot of people just go for the hobby and that's enough.Super simple. So try it for free. Make your search friendly first group name, because this will be the Earl at the top with the dashes between these words.So you can change the title any time, but making it search friendly here before you change it to something shorter is often a wise strategy. And there you go. It's that simple.I have signed up for a Skool. I now have this new Skool community, right? Oh, and there's a two minute video that guides you through exactly what to do if you don't have an expert like me in your pocket. If you haven't signed up for something wonderful, like the simple six Skool workshop, right? And you're just going at your own, it guides you through exactly what to do.Set your cover image. That's this here. Upload cover photo, invite three people.It's where it begins. Invite three people, write your first post. So they have something to do when they come in and download the app because it makes it much easier to keep up with things.I'm primarily an app user. Though I do get on my laptop for these live videos and other activities sometimes. So that's it.It's now set up. Now these tabs up here, classroom, calendar, and map, you can turn all of those off if you want to begin with under the community tab. Tabs, categories.Go into tabs and you can toggle them off. So there's no classroom yet. Yep.There's no calendar yet, but we'll leave the map on because this is going to be global. So see how much cleaner that is up top. Now people aren't going to be looking for the classroom to go into, or they are not going to find a big empty classroom.They're just going to have this general discussion. These are advanced settings, you know, that aren't the beginning, set up and go thing, but I just like to do this. The categories is where you change from the general discussion to adding up to what eight or 10 new categories.But the only thing you really need to worry about to get started is, well, first and foremost, helping people discover you with a cover image. And this is where you would change the group name, put in a brief group description. I'm not really awake.Have fun playing King shot as to play to P there you go. That's a good start. Simple description.It tells you who it's for, what you're going to do. And, it's that simple. It's already there.This is also where you upload things. I don't have any images prepped right now. So I am just showing you the bare bones beginning. This is key. This is key. The title can be changed any time, right? I could delete that and make it just King shot beginners or free to play King shot Academy or whatever I want. This dashboard here is where you'll get your metrics. There's no data yet because, well, we just started it, right? And there's an invite link here for you to use as well with your unique, information or actually this goes to the about page. Let's click it and see, go to, yeah, it goes to the about page. This is the other key part. You can use the same image here and here to start with. You can see that it's a free community with one member and you want to add a description for right now.I'm just going to put the same thing I put over there, over here, and then you want to scroll down and click save. I'm going to come back and edit this later, but this is just a demonstration of how quick and simple it is to set up. Right. If I hadn't done the tabs about, you know, the, the map and the, the, the calendar in the classroom, it's under a minute to, to get set up and just start inviting people say, Hey, let's go. And then here for pricing is where you can set it's free. It's subscription.It's freemium. We're going to select freemium tiers, or if it's a one-time payment for people to get in, we're going to have a free site. We're going to have, $5 a month for, folks that want to hop in $25 a year.That's nice. Yeah. 58% discount.Awesome. And then I'll do some VIP for like $25 a month. Yeah.Quick and simple 50% discount for annual. And then you can add the benefits like, one to one, something like that. You can put one-to-one Q and a calls. group calls that shows the Ascension. And there you go.So it's that simple. Then you want to click save so that you have a plans page. Boom, boom, boom, quick and simple, right? Share this tab instead so that people can actually see what you're talking about, Wendy, and then go make another cup of coffee.Yeah. So this is phase one. You just set up and start. Okay. That's it's that simple set up and start. That's the S of simple set up and start.Yeah. Now the next one we'll get into as, I'll show you the improvements that I make over the week. Next week we'll get into the invite and ignite phase, and I'll talk more about the importance of some of these things. But there you go. Now, you can see down here, this white thing, you can access this wonderful view where you can look at the about page, the members page, the calendar, the classroom, the community as a non-member or various tiered member, depending once you get things set up. And you can access that option on the about page with this little eyeball here, because that becomes handy once you get into the classroom. Again, I'm getting ahead of myself. So a lot of different features and ways to do this, but first I'm just going to go make some simple images so that you can see next week, the keys to getting set up or upload cover photo, your title and your description. This is the attraction mechanism over here on the right, your group card, some might call it it's the attraction because it's what gets shown in ads and in discovery.It's what draws people into this about page, which is where the people decide if they want to click and join the community, right? So it's the steps into your world. This is the Skool discovery to find some good ideas for images on the group card. You come visit this.These are the top trending communities that are really crushing it right now and doing incredibly well. So you want to come and look at these and see what's working for people, not necessarily what the communities are about. And if it's interesting to you, that's not what we're doing here right now.We're looking at what's working. This page is all communities that are working incredibly well. Look at how crystal clear and simple this is.Medical courier hub, training tools, community, boom, it shows you what it is, who it's for, and what it's going to be right there in the image. That's it. I don't even need to read this, but it tells you more.Get access to job leads, contract tips, right? Very clear what it's about, who it's for, simple, not cluttered with a lot of stuff to read, simple and clear. Although this is a library. So, you know, this is for people who do like to read. So that fits the theme, yeah? So go ahead and explore the discovery. And of course, you can start your own community any time by clicking create your own. Again, I hope it says Wendy Wiseman invited you at the top.And you're also always welcome to hop on a call with me. All of that is in the classroom here. Available if I can get back there. No, this was not a planned episode at all. This is completely improv winging it. I just winged it for you.Like I said, I had nothing prepared. I just showed you how simple it is to have an idea, to set it up, and to get going. I'm going to invite some of the people I'm playing with.And I'm going to make some images. And then next week we'll go through the invite and ignite phase. Yes? But this was the set up and start.And that's exactly what I did. I set up and start. So if you would like to go through this with me as your guide, in your hip pocket, here is the simple Skool workshop.You can opt in through the classroom. We're going to visit it right now. Did you see me? I clicked that eyeball I showed you.And then I'm going to come down here and select classroom so that you can see it's $247 this month. $365 next month and $600 for quarter four. So you want to hop in and get the six weeks of working with me, your expert community catalyst, Skool quick start specialist, right? Oops.Silly mouse. Skool quick start specialist.

Forgot to mention, thanks to @William Carter and his community Unshakeable for introducing @Carolyn Green and I as we enjoy daily growth accountability and shared wisdom for being Unshakeable Entreprenuers

Here is the workshop I mentioned, starting in a few hours... The skool CLASSIFIEDS & @Des Dreckett hosting a live Q&A today to help you get your community unstuck. This live session is built for people who already have a community running but aren't seeing the growth or engagement they expected.

TRANSCRIPT Hello! It's time for the Weekly Wise Skool Review Part Two, the Thursday show, and I am recording this week. Yes, I made sure to push that button first thing, because so often in my excitement to be here with you all, I just plow right in, right? Silly. Oh, it was such a good episode last week, too. Sorry you missed it if you missed it, but the lucky few that that saw, no. So here we go. Let's take a look at, can you guess what the primary topic of Skool news was this week? Drumroll! Not needed. Gross Boost, of course! That is the A number one focus. Exploring and optimizing and intensifying and refining and all of the, you know, they're doing the testing live. We are the guinea pigs and people are experiencing great success. Now, of course, the episode started with the exciting new release that does deserve a drumroll. Languages are live! The first two languages, Spanish and German, have been released. That means you can just toggle, make a change, and everything in the user interface changes to that language. Now, it's not effective in emails and things yet. That's the next phase. They're gonna make sure this one works first, but that'll be coming to the emails and DMs and all of that stuff. So you don't have these translation issues, and it's just like everything else on Skool, simple and seamless. I love this platform, don't you? Share some love for Skool in the comments. Oh, our co-host with the most is here to spread some joy, the joy boy, Mr. Maximilian. That's right. Yes, thank you. He's been sunning on the porch, enjoying the days we have left in this space. It's been a wonderful place to hang out, and he does enjoy that porch. He's been watching for cats and cooked himself in the sun in the morning after breakfast, and then come and see us on the live shows that I do in the morning. Wonderful. My joy boy, Mr. Maximilian. Yes, if you like my singy silliness, daily happiness happens inside the Enjoy Simple Wise Life community, you can find that on my profile here on Skool. It's free. You can come in, you get prompts for taking action for happiness, and you can join the daily calls if you want. Share your smile and ask me questions or share experiences that you've been having that bring more joy to the world. The mission here is creating a better world together as happier, healthier humans. Choosing to be happier and healthier come what may day by day, right? Living into the joyful abundance that you are. Of course, we silly humans get in the way of that, creating static resistance. But with relevant reminders and simple daily practices, we rise above, rise as the resilient rebels that we are at 40 plus, 50 plus. Of course, the community is open to all. My focus is always 40 plus because we just have a little different lifing landscape than the younger set. But we're all in this delicious soup together, right? This ultimate adventure, this thing called life. So here we go. Let's take a look at the Skool news broadcast notes and share screen. Languages are here. Let's jump into the YouTube vault here, YouTube vault, where you can watch every single episode embedded here and without the noise of the YouTube platform, without the noise in the ads, ads in your face everywhere. No ads here on Skool. So if you're not a Skool owner where you have access to them in the Skoolers community, you can watch them here. This is a public portal, a gateway, a hub for you. And I add from there, the Skoolers posts, the bullets from the YouTube caption, the timestamps. And then I expand with more of a summary, highlights, and extended timestamps, and of course a transcript. And then it's pinned to the post of the broadcast notes. So this is just a wonderful way to find out what's going on in the Skooliverse if you don't enjoy these episodes. And I've started posting the raw audio. It's not top-notch high quality. You can often hear me clicky clacking on the keyboard. But some folks would still like to listen to it instead of waiting for the replay. So I'd pop that up there. But most of us will wait for the replay. And a lot of us are on there live. And here's the sparkling water that's featured every week somewhere on the desk. Sam does have his over there too. That's in a different view. And I wanted to highlight that for Zach because we've had that conversation a few times. And yes, I did see a stack like this at the Skool headquarters when I visited on that Friday, the 13th of September in 2024. Bringing in the La Croix. All right. Skool of the Week. Let's just go backwards, right? Skool of the Week, the Core Dance Academy. Some dance in LA like for music videos and stuff. Now you don't have to be in LA at the studio. You can learn it online right here on Skool. Check it out. The Core Dance Academy. Yes. Very exciting stuff. And I do have all the links for you. I have to fix this one for silver clay with Lisa. Make jewelry with silver clay. Very exciting. Beautiful, beautiful jewelry. I have a ring I need to recast. Actually got lost in a fiesta, shall we say. Anything on Skool. Mural painting. In Sacramento they have wide open walls, which are wonderful murals. When I was driving the paratransit bus, one of my joys was discovering new murals and tucked away in all sorts of places. And then each year they'd have the event. Wide open walls. You can look it up online. But this guy has a mural painting headquarters. You can learn all about it. His name is Daniel Russell Ayers. There you go. And British Gunmaking Academy. That's right. All about, can you guess what? British guns, making British guns, specifically. Talk about your niche, right? It's very clear what they're doing there. So those were the highlighted Skools of the Week. Check them out. Now, as I said, this week the big release was languages going live. And Sam and Andrew were very entertaining talking about that and showing us how that works on Skool. And wait, you can see both of the sparkling water. See, sparkling water here, sparkling water there. What is the flavor of the day? Or the moment. Languages, Growth Boost Skool of the Week. Quick, simple episode this week. But look at all these wins. Growth Boost wins. Win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win. Look at the list here. I haven't filled all of them in yet. I have to find the posts. But win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win. Growth Boost beat my 200,000 followers. And it's not even close. Brooke, people comment, I finally found my people. And that's something that's definitely common that people love here on the Skool. Bowden, thank you. Growth Boost. Growth Boost is boosting. 3,000 visitors from Skool. Growth Boost. Growth Boost continues to blow me away. The boost is loose. And it's only just begun. The fun has only just begun. That's right. It's very, very exciting. Oh, so back to languages here. Languages, yes. Entire user interface now available in Spanish and German. Auto detects the user language on first visit and saves the press. Emails aren't translated yet, but that's coming soon. So is French, Chinese, and other languages. So very exciting. Win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win. Now look, it's a toggle. It's so simple. I know it's not the clearest screenshot, but just toggle it, right? And voila, the entire interface. Try it. Why don't you, you know, I'm learning German, so I'm going to toggle it and go read some of my posts here in the Wise Skool Community Hub, which has started more as a blog informational presentation than a community community, but it's kind of somewhere in between now. But yeah, I'm going to switch it to German and practice my German that way. Yeah, it's wonderful stuff. So here you can see the $1 club in German over here. Yeah. Yes, I am a novice. And here we get into some of the win, win, wins. GrowthBoost beat my 200,000 followers. Not even close. And he shares some of his metrics here. Very exciting stuff. But people are experiencing so much success with this new Skool running ads for you. It's absolutely incredible. So I've been working on refining some of my Skools and my clients' Skools to really optimize before they release the optimizer, the efficiency optimizing gauge. So thank you, GrowthBoost. Yes, numbers doubled in 30 days. Very exciting. So that's the Wise Skool review of the Weekly Skool News broadcast for this first week of August 2026. Now here in this community, I'm super excited to say that the, let's hop to it, the Simple Six Workshop is now available. Not the calendar, the classroom. The Simple Six Skool Workshop is now available, opened August 1st. And you can jump in. There's six spots left for this month for people to jump on board. It's a six-week series. You're workshopping your Skool, whether you're starting your Skool. Maybe you started a Skool and it just kind of is flatlined or never really got, you set it up and it never got started. Or maybe you have a Skool that's doing great and you just want to optimize for the GrowthBoost. Any of those three lanes are ideal for this simple, that's six simple steps, six weeks workshop where you've got me, your expert community catalyst, right there in your pocket along for the journey.

I'm expecting that to be September, opening in September again. It's already set up and ready to roll as soon as we've got the crew together. I'm very excited about that. And this Saturday, on the Simple Money Saturday session show, maybe you want to call it that, the Simple Money Saturday show. It's the weekly-wise Saturday session. You can call it whatever you want. I'm going to be starting my Simple Six project. I'm workshopping a new Skool too, right along with the others in this Simple. Simple is six letters, by the way. It's six steps, six simple steps, over six weeks. And we really work through that set up and start, the invite and ignite, the magnetize and mobilize, the path, progress, the path of progress. I'm still working on refining the best piece, right? It's all about the path, the progress, the plans, the plan, the progress, the plan, the progress plan. There you go. The progress plan, progress plan for the level up and lead. We are creating community-led ecosystems here, not talk at you environments. There's enough of those online, right? So the idea is community-led ecosystems so that they are thriving even if you go on vacation or something, right? So I'm starting one this Saturday. If you want to join me, you can just work right along with me. Six weeks, six simple steps, and this expert community catalyst right there in your pocket, helping you along the way at an absolutely astounding summer sizzle introductory rate, right? $247. Why? Because Skool is working for your business 24-7, so that your business can be working for you 24-7, so that you can be enjoying your healthy, wealthy, wise life, your simple, wise life, instead of slaving away for your business all the time. Yeah? Sound good? The path to making more money is feeling better about yourself, in your life, and doing what you love in a way that's sustainable, right? So there you have it. This week's stellar Skool review part two. I do one on Tuesdays before the Skool news broadcast to remind you of what we've talked about and anything exciting that happened over the weekend, and then I do this one on Thursday.

Growth boost was the last secret project.I'm like, bing, and we're running ads to your community now. How about that? How cool is that, right? And so they looked at more people that are having great results.

If you've got a Skool community, they have everything you need in the Skoolers community right there.It's the community of other Skoolers you can talk with about it. They've got the training in the classroom. They've these wonderful Skool news episodes every week.And yeah, the culture. Bing. Win on win on win.Packaging. This is how you grow. This is what we were talking about before growth boost.This is the packaging. Over here on the right is your, what they often call the group card. It's shows up in discovery and ads and search.There's the group image here. And then the group title. And then the discovery description.Yes. You can see what Skools are trending by hopping into discovery right here. Clicking trending.This is a great gauge for notice, you know, trend there. The two top ones that are trending.

So, yeah.Here are the notes that they use while producing the Skool news. Win, win, win, win, win, win. Efficient groups are getting 5,000 plus a day dedicated ad spend.I mean, that's mind blowing. Wow. Dedicated campaigns.Many custom creative social media content. They will, if you're doing really well, they'll go look at your social and pull some of your top performing content and put it into your ad. That's why they recommend on your profile, you scroll down here.There's a spot for your socials. You can see my link goes to the Enjoy Wise Life community I was talking about. Right? I do that for search interconnectivity.Because sometimes I hide it from the Skools I have here featured on my profile. If I'm directing all my traffic, like when I released showcase, it was the only one that was showing. Right now, I have the three keys.Three keys. Three keys.

Even though it gets a little closer to gray with these three activity days, I still do my daily activities. Yeah? And that's fine.Do your daily activities. You don't have to hustle and grind and pound it. I did like two and a half years.It was solid green from February 20th of 2024. All of 2024 into 2025. 2025 into 2026.And then here, I had a seven activity day. And then here, I had three activities. It was the first day in over two years that I just woke up and didn't care about Skool.And that was okay. I lost the flame next to my name. Whoop-de-doo.I could get it back with 30 days of 10 activities if I care to. I'm focusing on other things right now while still maintaining my daily activity, minimum viable activity on Skool. Right? You don't have to be all the places all the time.You don't have to be all the things for all the people. You figure out what works for you and don't get hung up on the metrics and the madness and the trends and the virulosity of other people's ideas. You live true to you, right? And that's another wonderful thing about Skool is the reminders to keep it simple and be real.Yeah? So we're just getting started. Now we were talking about making Growth Boost work for you.

You can binge watch all of the Skool news episodes without the noise of the YouTube platform. Right? And you can easily access that from every one of these weekly Skool news broadcast notes by clicking the nice, clean hyperlink created with the hashtag feature. If you don't know about the hashtag feature, if you're a Skool owner that doesn't know about the hashtag feature, here's what you do . You type a hashtag and look, a menu pops up. And then if you type like 67, oh look, the page in the classroom module pops up. The title of the page in the classroom module pops up for you to create a wonderful hyperlink that's nice and clean and looks just like this instead of a big, messy URL.Something like, you know, this. Where's my tab? It's this one. Here we go.See, instead of doing something like that, right? So use the hashtag feature.
