3 things Skool leaders should do at the start of the month

What are some of your start of the month Skool rituals?

If you run a Skool, tighten this up before the month really gets moving.

First, reduce notifications. Yes — even mine. We don’t help each other by being distracted. If you own a Skool, that’s your priority. Then 2–3 communities where you’re building authority. Then maybe one you’re learning from. That’s it. If your phone is lighting up all day from 12 groups, you’re reacting instead of leading. Turn things off and focus.

Second, ask better questions and collect real data. Not just “how y’all doing?” Ask what they’re stuck on. Ask what they’re building. Ask what would make this month a win. If engagement is low, ask something fun or debatable to wake the room up. Engagement is feedback. Use it.

Third, keep your cycles short and intentional. I made the mistake of running 30-day challenges at the start of my journey. My audience couldn’t stick to it… and honestly, I barely could either. Now I run a challenge the first 5 or last 5 days of the month. Short, focused, clear. Sometimes tied to a sale or upgrade. I also use a freemium group that feeds into paid offers, and that structure has helped conversions.

Strong start. Clear focus. Short cycles.
