It's our 60 day celebration party here on Skool, and since we're going live at the top of every hour, we figured we'd run something simple alongside it. In the comments, drop your community card (aka profile image) and your own about page link. That's it, nothing else. The idea is to help everyone see what everyone else is building, and it makes it a lot easier for us to spot you when your ads come across our feeds. As a little bonus, I'll be running some of your cards through a few creative variations. Think of it as a fun what if, not a critique. (I'm even wearing my creativity shirt) So if your community is up and running, post your about page link and attach your current community card below.

Another one of our Skoolology community members out there building. @Marama Elizabeth is growing Eaborn Living Academy, a community centered around reconnecting with nature through herbalism, permaculture, botanical remedies, and ancestral skills. And I have to give her a shout-out for this... 180 members and growing. 🌱 Love seeing what our members are creating beyond the walls of Skoolology. Keep growing, Marama. 🔎

Skoolology is officially 60 days old today. But a community isn't 60 days of content. It's 60 days of people showing up, trying things, asking questions, experimenting, learning, changing their minds, and moving forward. So today, we're not celebrating Skoolology. We're celebrating YOU. 🥳 And I have a challenge for us... 🏆 CAN WE COLLECT 60 WINS FOR 60 DAYS? Drop ONE win you've had since joining Skoolology. And before you say... "Yeah, but mine isn't really a big deal..." Nope. Not today. 😂 Big wins count. Tiny wins count. Messy wins count. Quiet wins nobody else knows about count. Maybe you... → Finally posted instead of overthinking it → Welcomed a new member → Tried something you learned here → Changed something in your community → Got clearer about what you're building → Simply kept going when it would have been easier to stop If it moved you forward, it counts. And there's a reason I want us to do this. What we focus on, we notice more of. When we're always looking at what's unfinished, what's not growing fast enough, or what we haven't figured out yet, we can miss something important: Evidence that we're making progress. Sharing wins makes that progress visible. But here's the really cool part... When you share your win, someone else gets to see it too. And they might think: “Wait. Maybe I can do that too.” THAT matters. Because healthy communities aren't built only by people teaching each other. They're built by people showing each other what's possible. So here's our 60-day mission: 👇 Drop ONE win below. Then find someone else's win and celebrate it. Let's see if we can fill this thread with 60 wins for 60 days. Big win. Tiny win. Quiet win. Slightly ridiculous but you're still proud of it win. 😂 If it moved you forward, it counts. Happy 60 Days, Skoolologists. 🎉 Now... WHO'S GOT WIN #1? 👇

I want to remind you of something today, because it's easy to lose sight of. You've done hard things. You built something from nothing, out of an idea and a hope and not much else. You learned skills you didn't have when you started, figured out tools that baffled you, taught yourself things nobody handed you. You pushed through your own self-doubt to keep going, more than once, on days you weren't sure you had it in you. You did all of that. And somehow, you still wonder if you're worth it. Here's what I want you to see. That feeling of "I'm not enough, who am I to charge for this," it isn't telling you the truth about your ability. It's just fear, and fear has a short memory. It conveniently forgets everything you've already overcome to be standing where you're standing right now. So when the doubt shows up, don't argue with it. Just look at your own track record. You've faced hard things before and come through them. That isn't luck, and it isn't an accident. It's resolve, it's yours, and it's the same resolve that will carry you into whatever comes next, including finally charging what your work is worth. The proof you're looking for isn't out ahead of you somewhere, waiting to arrive. It's behind you, in everything you've already built and come through. Turn around and look at it once in a while. So today, sit with this... What's one hard thing you've already overcome in this journey that you've stopped giving yourself credit for? Name it. That's your evidence. That's who you are.

I want to take a counterintuitive stance on the new Skool reviews. Not that they're a bad idea. My concern is what happens if you let Skool become your entire review strategy. Here's what caught my attention. The top producer on all of Skool asked for a toggle to turn reviews off until things were more fleshed out. His worry was the empty state. A brand-new review section showing nothing at all reads worse than no review section, and he expected conversions to suffer. Skool answered that by keeping reviews hidden during collection mode, so the empty state problem is handled for now. But I think there's a second problem waiting on the other side of that, and it's the one nobody is talking about. He has done a fabulous job collecting powerful video testimonials, and he uses them well. Five of the six image slots on his About page are video testimonials. That is a curated, visual, high trust asset sitting above the fold. Skool reviews are 500 characters of text at the top/bottom of the page, in whatever order Skool decides. For someone who has already built the better thing, the new format doesn't add much. It just gives visitors a weaker signal to compare against the stronger one. Will Skool eventually add video and image attachments? Probably. But the format isn't really the issue. Control is. You can't remove a review that misses the point. You can't decide which one leads. You can't reorder them to match what a particular buyer cares about. Your testimonial page is something you build. Your review section is something that happens to you. There's one more angle worth sitting with. Reviews are increasingly how AI tools decide what to recommend, and vague praise gives them nothing to work with. "Great community, learned a lot" doesn't tell an AI who you help or what changes for them. Specific reviews do. So what would I actually do? Collect reviews on Skool when you can. The window is supposed to open on day 31 of a paying member's journey when they are prompted for a review. So build the ask into that moment rather than leaving it to chance. Set a reminder to send them an email or text.
