After having watched the latest Skool news video one thing stood out for me - join other communities you’re genuinely interested in and engage authentically. Whilst I can see the value in this, I can also see that this could become distracting and take away from the focus on our own communities. As I build my community I want to put all my focus on it as I think this is what members would want - so how do you balance this? Currently I'm only a member of 3 communities, including this one (and they're all from @Brian O'Neill )

Okay, then. Joined PYOB a couple of days ago. I have what I need and now I'm off to @Brian O'Neill's Mindset Skool. This seems fast but I had the idea to start an online business back around 2008(?). Back then I started a blog. When I realized I needed more skills I quit the blog. That was dumb. I'd been growing an audience and had regular readers I was interacting with. But, not having any experience with how much time growing a blog back then could take, I thought I wasn't doing well. Man! When I think what that could have become had I stuck with it. Still shaking my head about that. Glossing over the intervening years: I've been buying courses, starting courses, quitting courses, getting coaching, struggling with the wrong approaches, yada, yada, and so on. As an interesting aside I bought Sam Ovens' original Consulting(dot)com offer back in 2016 but didn't implement fully. Sam has since sold that and started the platform we're on right now. So, plenty of time between my initial fantasy of creating an online empire and today. Definitely not all wasted years (I learned alot about myself and the online world) but more of a cautionary tale than one of inspiration, as far as building an online business. That's the point of this post. Make better choices than I ended up making. Take what Brian is teaching here in PYOB and execute. You can't think your way to the online business you want. Even poorly executed steps are infinitely better than perfectly polished thoughts that move nothing forward. Hope to read about your success very soon. Cheers. PS: After typing all this out I considered hitting <delete>. It's the way my mind works at times. Probably a big part of the reason I haven't managed to move forward in this domain over the years. 🤔 Had the idea to share this, then my brain said, "I'm not so sure this is a good idea." Only by hitting <POST> will I find out. There's a lesson in that and so...

I got my very first request for my community! I have 3 questions I asked and they just answered with random letters and not words. I was so excited now I'm not. Here are my questions and her answers.

Hi everybody, I have a question: for promoting a lead magnet are you promoting the lead magnet on its own or are you asking people to join your community then maybe they get the lead magnet inside the community?

I was wondering if we can go live on Youtube and share our screen like we can in the skool group or if we need an add on like OBS? I'm very new at Youtube stream, and wish it was as easy as what skool offers! How do I set it up?
