We had a great first hour, with @Claudio Campobassi, @Sweetz W, @Carol Tice, @Rachel Harmsworth, @Shelly Martin! It was fantastic to get to know more about them, and hear about what they’ve got coming up!

The next 5 hours will be filled with casual conversation by serious Skoolers like you. Hosted by some of the CLASSIFIEDS VIP members, each hour has a different focus and theme. First up, @Traci Poe of the Public Speaker's Growth Hub is hosting "Let's Just Chat"

We’re almost at 100 members in the 60 Day Life Story Blueprint. To me, that feels like a big milestone, but more than the number itself, what excites me is the progress people are making. We help people write their memoirs and autobiographies, and one thing has become very clear while I build out my community: People don’t need more vague encouragement. What they really need a path. The 60 Day Life Story Blueprint gives people a simple, step-by-step process they can follow without feeling lost. I used to think community was just about getting people together and let the magic happen. But I’m learning that if you want a community model to truly succeed, people need more than connection. They need direction. In other words, each person needs a clear next step. That has been one of the biggest lessons from seeing what other people are doing with their communities. A step-by-step process gives them momentum and encourages them to keep showing up. When people know what to do next, they stop feeling stuck. What are some of your big learnings building a community?
