🚨 Quick Community Pulse Check 🚨 I’m genuinely curious… How many of you have actually made real money online? (Not “likes,” not “views,” not “potential”… I mean actual dollars hitting your account.) Drop your answer below:

TED TALK: “The Hardest Lessons I Ever Learned… and What They Taught Me About Life, Trust, and Becoming Unbreakable.” By Dr. Mark Zupo Are you unemployed yet? Bankrupt yet? Foreclosed yet? Homeless yet? I want to tell you a story today, and I want to tell it without polish, without filters, and without pretending the journey was anything less than brutal. Because sometimes the things that break you… are the same things that build you. My story doesn’t start with success. It doesn’t start with a breakthrough moment, or a mentor, or a stroke of luck. It starts at seventeen. Homeless. Hungry. Eating crackers and ketchup from a gas station because that was the only “meal” I could afford. People talk about rock bottom like it’s a metaphor. For me, it was a place. A real place. I lived at a garbage dump for nearly a decade. Not as a visitor. Not as a tourist in someone else’s tragedy. But as someone who learned how to survive off what the world threw away. And yet… ironically… that’s where I met the most honest people I’d ever known. People who had nothing to prove… and nothing left to hide. Life taught me early: Most people think they understand hardship. But hardship… hardship is a teacher that speaks in a language only the broken can hear. Years later, I built a life. A family. A career. Businesses. Homes. Cars. Airplanes. Vacations. The ability to be generous — and I loved being generous. My house was full of people. My pool. My table. My life. And then tragedy came for me again. I lost my son to a drunk driver. I lost my wife to cancer. And I lost everything I spent thirty years building — the money, the properties, the stability… Bankruptcy. Foreclosure. Silence. And here’s where the real lesson came… All the people who swam in my pool, flew in my planes, rode in my cars, vacationed with me, laughed with me, benefitted from me… They disappeared. I can count on one hand — with fingers left over — how many stayed. It was the only time in my life I ever asked for help.

Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy. They fail because they’re stuck. They’ve got an idea. A skill. A fire in their gut. But there’s one urgent problem stopping them from getting started: - they don’t know what to build first - they don’t know how to package what they know - they don’t know how to get people to care - and they sure as hell don’t want to join another community of strangers just to “network.” So here’s the play: Build a lead magnet that solves the urgent problem blocking your people right now. Not a “freebie.” Not a PDF graveyard. A real solution that gets them moving. Then promote it everywhere. Because when you lead with progress, people pay attention. This works for one simple reason: people don’t wake up thinking, “I want to join a community.” They wake up thinking, “I need to fix this problem.” And if you promise to help them get closer to their goal? They’ll join for that. Then they stay for the community—if the place is cool, useful, and full of real humans getting results. That’s KoolSchool. We don’t collect members. We create momentum. If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start building something people actually want…come in. Join KoolSchool here: https://www.skool.com/koolschoolfree/about?ref=ce481bc30721489090de83ab8b1f43a5 Let me make this simple. People don’t fail because they aren’t smart. They fail because they’re stuck—usually on one urgent problem that keeps them from starting. And here’s what most creators get wrong: they try to build a community first…before they’ve given people a reason to join. Because nobody wants to jump into a room full of strangers just to “hang out.” That’s not a goal. That’s awkward. So here’s the move: build a lead magnet that solves the urgent problem your audience is dealing with right now. Something that gets them unstuck and moving in minutes, not months. Then promote that thing everywhere.

🚫 Why You Should Absolutely Not Join This Community (A public service announcement for anyone committed to staying exactly where they are) After asking ChatGPT to re-evaluate my Skool community, I made a terrible discovery: KoolSchool is WAY more valuable than I realized. Like… embarrassingly valuable. Like “I should probably shut the doors before too many people get in” valuable. Which brings us to you. Let me save you the pain: Do NOT join this community. Here’s why… 🚫 Reason #1: You Might Accidentally Improve Your Life ChatGPT smacked me in the face with the truth: KoolSchool has everything people need to grow — WITHOUT the fluff, the funnel circus, or the guru fairy dust. If you join, you might: - Stop making excuses - Start taking action - Build your first digital income - Get clarity instead of confusion - Actually believe in yourself again If that sounds dangerous, stay away. 🚫 Reason #2: You’ll Hate the Support People here don’t let you hide. They don’t let you self-sabotage. They don’t clap for your victim mentality. This community cares too much. Annoyingly so. Want to be invisible, unnoticed, and unbothered? Yeah… this is not your place. 🚫 Reason #3: We Add Too Many Bonuses ChatGPT pointed out that we’re giving away way more value than we’re charging for. That’s a problem. For YOU. Because if you join now, you’ll get: - 🎁 The KoolSchool Starter System - 🎁 The 10-Minute Momentum Plan - 🎁 The Identity → Income Roadmap - 🎁 The Digital Product Launch Kit - 🎁 Weekly workshops that should be high-ticket - 🎁 Templates, scripts, guides, short-cuts - 🎁 A community that actually engages It’s honestly irresponsible. 🚫 Reason #4: The Price Is Going Up (Yes, Again) ChatGPT made it painfully clear that the value inside KoolSchool is outpacing the price tag by a mile. So yeah — we’re raising the price. Not because we want to. Because we HAVE to. Too many bonuses. Too much value. Too many members actually winning. The window to get in cheap is closing…

🔥 “It Ain’t What You Don’t Know…” — Mark Twain Was Talking About You Mark Twain said it best: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you in trouble. It’s what you know that ain’t so.” And if we’re being brutally honest… this is EXACTLY why most creators stay stuck. It’s not because they’re unskilled. It’s not because they’re unqualified. It’s not because they don’t have knowledge, experience, or stories worth selling. It’s because they’re operating with false beliefs masquerading as facts: • “I need a big audience first.” • “I need to be more qualified.” • “I need complex funnels.” • “I need fancy software.” • “I need to wait until everything is perfect.” None of that is true. But believing it? That’s what gets people in trouble. That’s what keeps people broke. That’s what keeps people stuck. That’s what keeps people talking about their dreams instead of building them. 🔥 Enter: KoolSchool Creator This is the antidote to the lies you’ve been unknowingly living by. KoolSchool Creator is built on $100M Money Model fundamentals: • Start simple. • Ship fast. • Sell what you already know. • Focus on the right offer, not the right “aesthetic.” • Build the business BEFORE the audience. • Learn by doing, not overthinking. No funnels. No guru fluff. No “influencer prerequisites.” Just clear actions → momentum → money. This is the place where you turn your skills, stories, failures, education, and experience into a real online offer that pays you — month after month. 🔥 Here’s the twist: Most people will miss this. Not because they can’t do it. Not because they don’t want to do it. But because of the same thing Mark Twain warned about: They know too much… of the wrong things. They “know” success is complicated. They “know” income takes years. They “know” digital products require tech mastery. All wrong. All dangerous. All sabotaging. And KoolSchool Creator is the moment that snaps people out of it. ⚠️ FOMO WARNING: Doors Are Tightening This isn’t a “forever open” membership.
