I have only published books two of the eight books I’ve written. I have a bunch of other writings, haikus and compositions that make up a broader opus or philosophy. Whether I finish or not, I thankfully enjoy the process of feeling like I’m on purpose. I feel truly blessed to have taken so much time off to be able to study people, myself and life. And one of the latest pieces of my mental puzzle is coming together with each of you here on Cafevore… & the other awesome people here on SKOOL. There’s a beautiful sense of connection and kinship! Our human nature thrives on belonging! Could you imagine if we were only allowed to join two groups on Skool… we are multifaceted and simultaneously need to adhere to several possibilities & pleasures! It behooves us to allow for a plethora of potential, access to purposeful people and the power of our peers. As we contribute and collaborate on higher purposes, we also feel greater fulfillment. As we continue to grow and evolve with fresh circles of community it’s also possible to envision longer term activities. I personally decided that I would give SKOOL 1000 days! And with that as my Northstar, I see the beauty of all these amazing individuals as part of the reflections of my guiding light. It’s wonderful to be in company with people who are enjoying the journey, tend to be giversand also more ambitious towards a destination! I am grateful to be surrounded by other skoolers who have impulses and urges inside them to act on their dreams, desires or definite direction in life! PEOPLE WHO ARE ON PURPOSE WITH THEIR PURPOSE Thank you for being here with me as I personally step up into the next part of my purpose, Ravi

Hello Cafevores! ☕✨(yes, I put my emojis on porpouse...) I’m Doug ,traveler of the inner cosmos, investor of intentional TIME, and seeker of the sacred triad: Gratitude, Fulfillment… and my very confused First Million. For years I’ve been upgrading my identity, repurposing my verbs, and aligning my frequency with the universal Wi-Fi. I told myself: Doug, be wealthy in relationships. Start with the most important one… YOU. And yes, I tried. I really, really tried. I even trained my dog to sit in abundance. He just sat. Zero abundance appeared. So here I am, ready to grow, upgrade, elevate, transform, transcend, recalibrate, and possibly even levitate… but also fully prepared to admit that sometimes my biggest spiritual achievement is just not yelling at the coffee machine when it malfunctions. If you’re here chasing cash, connection, or cosmic clarity, I’m your guy. If you’re here to do the bare minimum with dignity, I’m also your guy. Excited to be here. Hype on the outside, AntiHype on the inside. Let’s see what this journey brews. ☕🚀💫 (and yes, me again adding the emojis...) Doug, your usless coach

In my second book entitled PROTONIC SPEAKING, I use this acronym to remind people about the beauty, power, and wisdom of cultivating gratitude practices. I'm willing to bet that most of my friends, who know me well think of me today. Because they also kind of tagged me as the Prince of gratitude. So I'm very happy to know that there are other people celebrating today something that I feel like at all tap into hourly, obviously it would be breath by breath, but we often take that for granted. So several times a day is a wonderful way to help boost our vibrations. Anyway, I wish you all a delicious day!

One of our precious peeps, who, as we can witness in this beautiful video is beyond talented, graced us with a Thanksgiving delicacy for our eyes, ears, and hearts! Enjoy @Rositsa Aleksandrova You’re deeply appreciated and we thank you! Ravi https://youtu.be/moMIN83ZVYs

This platform is amazing and being able to do something with one click is phenomenal! But is it too easy… have we forgotten that the person that does the purchases is a real live human being who’s paying with their own finances & values. I trust @Sam and have complete confidence in Alex and Kirby, but have the rest of us Skoolers taken on a larger and longer-term vision? I’ve already spent over two grand on Skool in my first couple months. Last week I clicked again and bought a $222 program and now feel like I’ve been ghosted. If this were a one off case, I wouldn’t say anything. But it’s the third time, so I offer this: LTV means LIFETIME VALUE!! Are we fooling ourselves with the idea of a customer journey? Did we SHORTCUT or SPRINT to get folks in, but forgot about the monetary MARATHON ahead? Did we put too much effort into CAC ~ Cost of Acquiring the Customer? Have we forgot, ignored or already lost sight of what it’s gonna take from us to continue giving & growing for the LIFETIME VALUE exchange? VALUE TAKES VALIDATION! We are delusional if we think that we are going to embark on a journey of keeping a customer for a lifetime, without welcoming them on board. If we finally get the coveted customer and neglected the crucial onboarding actions, the ship will not set sail. We have to get them on board with us. After all the outreach, we need to reach in. Ideally, reach in and get them a win! Remember as people we like to belong. We need a human connection to welcome our new customers. Then, remind them of the destination and activate the journey, thanks to rendering a first LTV gain! Thank you for reading, Ravi PS if you would like a little more, this is what I’m thinking … There is another OPPORTUNITY PRICE we are invited to pay. This is where we bear the burden of engaging for the long-term … to create a LIFETIME of VALUE for the CUSTOMERS we invited on a journey. LIFETIME VALUE means many things. Most think of what, when it might be better thought of as WHO!
