We all have our ideas for community, for hosting a community, for joining a community and for participating in a community. I am very happy for all and thank you for coming. I feel extremely blessed to have met most of you in person, which is why I know you are individually so great and why this community has huge potential. I also have this crazy idea that if we each like three people's posts and/or comment on a couple different ones, that leads to a flourishing community. I'm not suggesting that you have to post, although you're more than welcome to, but it would be great to see as many as possible showing some love... Anyway, I salute you and thank you for your presence, Ravi

I’m reaching out to you here on Cafevore first… Who do you know that would be interested in helping me build a fresh new Skool program called: The RAD SELF RESET Who do you know, that would like to amplify their power, exalt their existence and learn to live in joy?

This platform is amazing and being able to do something with one click is phenomenal! But is it too easy… have we forgotten that the person that does the purchases is a real live human being who’s paying with their own finances & values. I trust @Sam and have complete confidence in Alex and Kirby, but have the rest of us Skoolers taken on a larger and longer-term vision? I’ve already spent over two grand on Skool in my first couple months. Last week I clicked again and bought a $222 program and now feel like I’ve been ghosted. If this were a one off case, I wouldn’t say anything. But it’s the third time, so I offer this: LTV means LIFETIME VALUE!! Are we fooling ourselves with the idea of a customer journey? Did we SHORTCUT or SPRINT to get folks in, but forgot about the monetary MARATHON ahead? Did we put too much effort into CAC ~ Cost of Acquiring the Customer? Have we forgot, ignored or already lost sight of what it’s gonna take from us to continue giving & growing for the LIFETIME VALUE exchange? VALUE TAKES VALIDATION! We are delusional if we think that we are going to embark on a journey of keeping a customer for a lifetime, without welcoming them on board. If we finally get the coveted customer and neglected the crucial onboarding actions, the ship will not set sail. We have to get them on board with us. After all the outreach, we need to reach in. Ideally, reach in and get them a win! Remember as people we like to belong. We need a human connection to welcome our new customers. Then, remind them of the destination and activate the journey, thanks to rendering a first LTV gain! Thank you for reading, Ravi PS if you would like a little more, this is what I’m thinking … There is another OPPORTUNITY PRICE we are invited to pay. This is where we bear the burden of engaging for the long-term … to create a LIFETIME of VALUE for the CUSTOMERS we invited on a journey. LIFETIME VALUE means many things. Most think of what, when it might be better thought of as WHO!

Did you know that Skool has rules? See below.:. First a poem, I wrote for my godson when he was having problems in regular school... Schools for fools With all the stupid rules It's a game that's lame, But we play it all the same! By Ravi Jas (if you haven't noticed, it's one of my poetic names) The other day I posted something on SKOOLERS, thinking that it would get moderated and he did! Hi Ravi, thank you for contributing here in Skoolers! I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up that I did need to remove your recent post since it was a bit off-topic for Skoolers. No worries as I know that likely wasn’t your intent and I appreciate the effort. We’d still love to see you sharing here, just with an emphasis on experiences, results, and strategies related to Skool and community building. You can check the Skoolers rules here: https://www.skool.com/skoolers/-/rules

I have only published books two of the eight books I’ve written. I have a bunch of other writings, haikus and compositions that make up a broader opus or philosophy. Whether I finish or not, I thankfully enjoy the process of feeling like I’m on purpose. I feel truly blessed to have taken so much time off to be able to study people, myself and life. And one of the latest pieces of my mental puzzle is coming together with each of you here on Cafevore… & the other awesome people here on SKOOL. There’s a beautiful sense of connection and kinship! Our human nature thrives on belonging! Could you imagine if we were only allowed to join two groups on Skool… we are multifaceted and simultaneously need to adhere to several possibilities & pleasures! It behooves us to allow for a plethora of potential, access to purposeful people and the power of our peers. As we contribute and collaborate on higher purposes, we also feel greater fulfillment. As we continue to grow and evolve with fresh circles of community it’s also possible to envision longer term activities. I personally decided that I would give SKOOL 1000 days! And with that as my Northstar, I see the beauty of all these amazing individuals as part of the reflections of my guiding light. It’s wonderful to be in company with people who are enjoying the journey, tend to be giversand also more ambitious towards a destination! I am grateful to be surrounded by other skoolers who have impulses and urges inside them to act on their dreams, desires or definite direction in life! PEOPLE WHO ARE ON PURPOSE WITH THEIR PURPOSE Thank you for being here with me as I personally step up into the next part of my purpose, Ravi
