No wonder they are shutting down Skool Games...

🔥

well, kinda. in the last Skool news, they said, they are changing it. so, not really closing.

but...

i have always been skeptical about Games and even about Leaderboard/Gamification, in general. i always say "be clear what you are trying to achieve".

here are the things i would NEVER do in this or any other of my groups:

ask for engagement for the sake of engagement (for my star badge or discovery rank)
ask people to buy from me because i need to win the games or smth
in general, do things that benefit me/community, but not my ppl or ppl in their communities

i hope you know my formula for any activity i organize: WIN-WIN-WIN

i win
you win
your ppl win

that just makes every decision so much easier for me. and i don't get distracted by any "game" that is introduced.

hence, i was not surprised to hear Eva Raposa's talk (founder of Focused Founders) about winning Skool games and the truth that nobody tells (the video should start at 1:17:15 for her talk).

now think about all the ppl who did not win: pretty harsh "hangover", i suppose.

ps great Skoolx Public Speaking Competition. missed it last time. for sure will try to get to the next round, cause TedEx speech is on my wish list.
