We're literally just a few members away from this group landing at 2,000 members. That's a HUGE milestone! This group has been a HUGE support in helping to grow our Focused Founders™ community. Has this group also helped YOU grow your community? You can take a moment to thank @Shannon Boyer @Faith Adebayo and @Mimi Ramsey for making this group so amazing and helpful --> by DIRECTLY inviting friends to join! And let's celebrate together!

Many of us do not want to be too direct. Or too salesy. Yet here is the truth. If you “hide” your invitation in too many whens, ifs, maybes, or even some vague dancing around the bush, this can quietly redirect real money away from the person you actually meant to support. How? With SKOOL Growth Boost, every profile click will count as “SKOOL Network” and give 30% commission to SKOOL. 🚨 So when your invitation is not actually direct, three things happen. 1️⃣ You do not make a clear invitation. (And yes, a nice, open, clear invitation can be declined as well, and that is perfectly fine.) 2️⃣ You make it harder for them than it needs to be. (Yes, sharing a link to click is easy. Why do we force people to figure it out on their own?) 3️⃣ You might undermine the intention of the community owner you actually want to support! (Guess what, most might prefer to give you a share when it was actually your recommendation. Personally, I would rather have my members get 30% than SKOOL.) ⭐️ So what to do instead? 👉 If you RECOMMEND a community, make the invitation clear and use your invite link. I dare you to be direct and to see it as an act of service. 👉 If you JOIN a community, check if someone you know has an invite link first. Ask for it before you click around. And no, this post is not about the Growth Boost itself. It’s about having an even better reason now to share good things with people you love. And to do it in a way that benefits them most. If you get some “thank you money” in return, good. If your friends get some “thank you money”, even better! ––– Should we make this a thing? Before we join a place, before we recommend one, or before we click around on discovery: Who would benefit most if I use the right invite link?

How often do you you do this? Celebrating the small wins. The in between steps done… Not only the big bang (if you even celebrate those) I decided to give one of my Artifacts (little something interactive done with claude ai) a makeover. Means, graphic generation. Adding the next layer to not make it fell useful yet to also pull people in on a visual level. And after some serious battles, I am super pleased. Is it perfect yet? Nah. At least not to my standards. Yet it's getting there. So for today, it's celebrating what feels victory over AI trying, that seemed to have it's mind set on driving me crazy. 🤣 Before heading out to a dinner en blanc at the lake side.

The way people are coming together and supporting our own VIP member @Katya McEwen is absolutely unbelievable. There are so many (something like 36) bonuses, and collaborators are coming out of the woodwork to offer premium access to their own memberships if you use their links!!! I know @Tiffany Noel Taylor is one and @Jen Hill Myers is another. @Diana Frank has her own bonus as well! And so does @Nathaniel Parant. @Victoria Gallagher has added a bonus, and so has our own moderator @Faith Adebayo ! If you are offering a bonus on top of Katya's please leave a comment below describing your own bonus and your affiliate link. Let's pull together to help Katya achieve her dream. I've never seen someone more determined - it really is inspiring, and she deserves this!

Looking into who you are, what you need, and what you want FIRST? 😱 No funnels or more content or cold outreach... 😱 No proven path leading to a place you never wanted to go... Is this even still about business!? You might be surprised. The UNFAIR ADVANTAGE is exactly this. Here, everything is about YOU. And only in your next step about THEM. Because guess what: YOU need to do the work. YOU need to go through all of this. So you better make it worth it for YOURSELF! If this sounds interesting, you might want to give this a try. ––– 🏴‍☠️ Tomorrow, June 17, is the last day to join at our FOUNDERS’ rate. $9/month $99/year After this, the price will go up to: $22/month $188/year 💎 If you are ready to jump into the cold water, or you’ve seen me around here on SKOOL, you might want to join annual already.
