A Skool Pet Peeve
I am in many communities, and I choose to be there to support the owners and the community they’re building. Isn't that what Skool is about? Even when I’m not active, my membership is still support for that community. And some of those communities I pay to be a member.
But there’s a pattern that’s become impossible to ignore.
Some of those same owners won’t join my community, even though it’s free, even though the classes are free, even though I’m in theirs, yet they continue inviting me to engage in their community and to join other communities so they can collect the affiliate money.
To be honest, it’s not just disappointing. It’s offensive.
It signals, “Your work isn’t worth my curiosity, but your wallet is always welcome to fund mine.”
We should value reciprocity, integrity, and communities built on something deeper than commissions and membership fees.
THE LAW OF RECIPROCITY IN BUSINESS. It's called business ethics, which includes reciprocity.
Here's an example. I've had a community since November of last year. I want to open another community, related to my first. So I click on create a community, and there pops up an owner of another community that I'm in, take part in, and support, inviting me to create a community. Meaning dollars for him, yet he won't join my community after repeated invites. That's what precipitated this post.
