Every single day, I spend 60 seconds giving thanks. That's it. One minute. And here's what I've noticed: by the end, I'm never out of things to be grateful for. I start with the obvious stuff; my family, my health, my bed, my pets. But then it goes deeper. The people in this community. The opportunities I have today. The fact that I woke up with a roof over my head and food in the fridge. Every single time the 60 seconds is up, I find myself thinking of more. 📕 Here's why this matters: Studies show that people who practice daily gratitude experience: - 25% increase in happiness levels - Better sleep quality - Stronger immune systems - Improved relationships - Lower stress and anxiety Gratitude isn't just a feel good practice. It shifts our perspectives. It enhances our lives. Try this for the next 7 days: 1. Every day you wake up. Set a timer for 60 seconds. 2. Think of everything you're grateful for. 3. Speak them outloud. Don't stop until the timer goes off. You'll be surprised how much you have. What's one thing you're grateful for today? Drop it below. 👇 If someone comments and you're thankful for that person, let them know too.

Why the delay? Because we are now TOP #15 in our category and TOP #50 OVERALL!!! 🚀 *Also because I'm a perfectionist and I'm adding a few surprises that I think you're going to love. Here's what you do need to know: This course is DENSE. It's not regurgitated BS. This is 8+ years of building, failing, scaling, and doing it again. $70M+ in GMV across 5+ companies. Several still running today. Forbes 30 Under 30. Y Combinator Hacks. All of it. Every module, every framework, every script; it's all birthed from real failures and real wins. BUT HERE'S THE THING: Don't just copy me. Take this. Improve it. Maximize it. Make it yours. I'm giving you the blueprint. You build your empire. You create what fits within your Strike Zone. 🔥🔥 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SKOOL OWNERS:🔥🔥 I have something BIG dropping for you all as well that I'll announce next week. If you run a Skool community (or plan to), you're going to want to pay close attention. This will change how you grow. Also, I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK. Don't hesitate to DM me all of it. Nice, mean, rude, honest. Send it all. As you go through this, tell me. What's working? What's confusing? What do you want more of? I'LL BE REAL: I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm stoked for what's about to happen in this community. But I also must be very transparent with you all. This is NOT for the faint of heart.This is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. Building a business is hard. Scaling it is even harder. But if you stick it through? It's all worth it. 📣📣 MOST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: 📣📣 Business Builders Club is officially going paid tomorrow. But here's the deal: If you're already in this community, you NEVER have to upgrade. No one will force you to. You're grandfathered in for life. That said, the real value — the real winners — will be in the paid tiers. That's where we're going deep. That's where the transformations will happen and wealth will be made. Tomorrow, I'm announcing prices, and I promise you, I've made this super affordable for everyone.

Be honest. How many tabs do you have open right now? I caught myself with 27 tabs open yesterday. Twenty-seven. (I use groups often which helps keep things condensed but still, 27) Why This Matters: The average person has 10-20 tabs open at any given time. Heavy users? 50+. Some days I used to have so many tabs open that my chrome window was a wall of tiny rectangles. If you know, you know. And it's costing us more than we think. Research shows it takes an average of ~23 minutes to fully refocus after switching tasks. Every time you bounce between tabs, emails, Slack, and your phone, you're resetting that clock. Every single time. No wonder some days feel busy but unproductive. That's not multitasking at all, it's actually quite the opposite. I closed 20 tabs this morning. Kept 7. My brain feels lighter already. Classroom drops in two days. As we head into 2026, let's sharpen our focus together. 📚 How many tabs do you have open right now? Drop the number below. Lowest number wins bragging rights. Highest number wins our prayers. 😂 P.S Speaking of focus, I'm about to focus on all of these DM's now! If you're not caught up, check out my 📥 Regarding All Current DMs' post. Talk soon! 🥂

We just crossed 600+ members in the past two weeks. But here's what's got me even more excited: I've noticed a LOT of you are Skool owners yourselves. Coaches. Course creators. Community builders. People who are early in the game and trying to grow something real. This is exactly why I'm building Skool Connect. For those who don't know, Skool Connect is a suite of tools I'm developing to help Skool owners actually grow; not with hacks or gimmicks, but with real systems, solving real pain points I've seen. Here's what I'm working on: → Skool Wrapped (A yearly review of your community) → Conversion tracking (see exactly where people drop off) → Member insights (understand who's engaging and who's ghosting) → Automated engagement triggers (re-activate dormant members) → Growth benchmarks (compare your metrics to similar communities) → A/B testing for your community (test different headlines, descriptions, pricing) → Weekly Recaps — What's working, warmest leads, which communities are worth your time → Bulk Unsubscribe: Instantly unsubscribe from emails (S/O to @Jack Robinson aka Charlie West) And so much more, but I don't want to overload you all on this Monday Morning. With that said; I need YOUR help. I want to build this based on your real problems, not my guesses. So tell me: What's your biggest pain point as a Skool owner right now? Is it getting more members? Increasing MRR? Converting free to paid? Keeping people engaged after they join? Understanding what content actually works? Or something else entirely? I'm listening. 📝 Drop your answers below. The more specific, the better. Also feel free to drop your COMMUNITY LINKS & pitches too, you never know who might see it & join. I'm reading every single response. This is how we build something that actually matters. 👇 Happy Monday! - David 🫶🏾
