I recorded a quick walkthrough showing you exactly how to get activated inside the community. Step by step. Click by click. Because I want this room to be as useful as possible for you, and the truth is: You’ll get way more value out of this place once you actually go through the activation process and start using the tools the right way. Inside the training, I walk you through: - how to go through the Start Here post - how to post your Intro + 30-Day Focus - how to book your onboarding activation call - how to comment “Activated” once you’re done - where to go in the Classroom - which first 4 lessons to watch - how to install your Executive Command Center - how to turn on your Executive Assistant - how to use the 5-Minute Business Checkup to figure out where to start That’s the point of this room. Not to dump content on you. To help you get moving fast. To help you install real systems. To help you stop guessing. A lot of you don’t need more information right now. You need: - a clearer first step - a better place to run the business from - and a little momentum That’s what this activation path is built for. So if you haven’t done it yet, go watch the training and follow the steps. Make it simple: - Go through Start Here - Post your Intro + 30-Day Focus - Book your Activation Call - Go to the Classroom and watch the first 4 lessons - Run the 5-Minute Business Checkup If you do that, you’ll already be way further along than most people who join communities and just lurk. Get activated. Get moving. Use the room. Let’s build.

You joined because you’re an overworked business owner who’s tired of running everything from memory. In this room, your first win is simple: Get Activated in the next 72 hours. You are officially Activated when you’ve: 1. Installed the Skool app 2. Posted your Intro + 30‑Day Focus post 3. Booked your short Onboarding Activation Call 4. Commented “Activated ✅” under this post Do those and you’re in. 1) Install the Skool app (do this now) Most people who win here post from their phone. - iPhone: HERE - Android: HERE 👉 Download the app, log in, and leave it on your home screen. 2) Post your Intro + 30‑Day Focus In the Introductions category, make ONE post using this format: Title: Intro + 30‑Day Focus – [Your Name] – [Business] Body: - Who you are - What business you run - Where things feel messy or chaotic right now 30‑Day Focus Use this sentence and fill in the blanks: “In the next 30 days, I will install [content / follow‑up / retention / systems] and fix [your biggest bottleneck].” Hit Post. Book your Onboarding Operator Call Use this link to book your short call: Onboarding Activation Call Link On this call we will: - Review your 30‑Day Focus - Make sure your Command Center install is on track - Pick the right first system (content, follow‑up, or retention) - Show you exactly where to start in the 7‑Day Executive Command Center lessons 4) Tell me you’re Activated Once you have: - Posted your Intro + 30‑Day Focus - Booked your Onboarding Call

Quick update for everyone already inside The Institute Social and anyone newer coming in: I just tightened up the onboarding and the whole front path of the community. The goal was simple: Less wandering.Less guessing.Less “where do I start?” More: - clarity - activation - real installs - and a cleaner first win So if you joined before and haven’t looked around in a while, go back through it. Because the room is better now. What’s new / tighter now 1. The promise is clearerThis room is for service business owners who are tired of running everything from memory. That’s the lane. Not broad entrepreneurship.Not random business motivation. A real system for people who already have clients but still feel scattered and reactive. 2. The onboarding has a real path nowThe first move is the 72-hour activation. Then we lock in your 30-day focus. Then we install your Executive Command Center. Then we turn on your Executive Assistant so your ideas, tasks, and follow-up stop living in your head. That flow is a lot tighter now. 3. The tools are easier to implementI’ve made the Notion setup easier to import. And the AI side is more clearly connected to the system now. So instead of just watching lessons, you can actually install the setup faster. 4. The room is more built around action nowThe goal is not to have you binge content. The goal is to help you: - get clear on what matters - install one real system - and start running your week with more structure That’s the win. Not information. Activation. If you’re already in here, I’d go back and run through the new path. Especially if you joined earlier and still feel like you haven’t fully plugged into the room yet. And if you’re newer, start with: - Start Here: Get Activated in 72-Hours PINNED POST - Lock In Your 30-Day Focus - Install Your Executive Command Center - Turn On Your Executive Assistant That’s the cleanest way to use this room right now.

New to the group. Had the privlige of a one-on-one with Gilbert. Well worth the time. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all. Here is a little about me: 1. Location: Socal - IE 2. My top skills: getting after it 3. I sell X to Y: construction/remodeling services to homeowners 4. We do Z Revenue: $25k/month 5. I would like to be at W Revenue: $1M/month 6. This is what’s stopping me is brain fog on what to do next. 7. Excited to be here

I strayed away from this platform for a bit... I'm now trying to catch up on the tea, but something tells me, Gil would say, "did you watch the videos yet"...so let me go do that and revert when I have a question. But first, during my time away, I have built my new website, nearly one year later after building my first (proud moment). So much progress, with websites, landing pages, opt-ins, CHATGPT, Notion, social media, learning and growth, and in full transparency, there's some snags, and standstills...I still have a lot to learn, and I want to sometimes fast forward but then I realize, I'm in it for the long run...it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. So cheers to more learning, and growth. Thanks, Gil, for the classroom.
