Before Skool, I thought GIFs were pretty silly. And they were, but with Skool, I've realized that I like to be part of the fun. What's your favorite GIF and why?

This is my third networking challenge, and I thought I had it figured out. But Week 4 taught me that I needed to be more intentional. It's almost comical at this point. My first networking challenge was created by @Lukas Schmidt My last challenge? Also created by Lukas. I think I'm just doing networking because he tells me to, and honestly, I don't even mind. It's been incredibly valuable. I'm deeply grateful to for challenge for bringing me back into community again. My call with @Sofiya Pierce was transformational. It gave birth to a challenge that put me on the map for multiple communities, and I'm grateful I accepted. I'm learning constantly. How to create engagement. What makes communities stick. People further ahead than me share their lead generation strategies and techniques. Every conversation sparks new ideas for posts, webinars, or how I build my own community. I don't have a large audience yet, so I got strategic. I targeted fitness and nutrition communities, climbed the leaderboards to get more visible, booked more calls, and created more conversations. This came from advice during my networking calls. @Sam Rathling gave me several recommendations on how to get more eyes on me, how to use networking calls indirectly to generate clients, and strategies around engagement. I'm implementing all of it. (Funny story: I had Sam's book on my Amazon Wishlist for months before joining her community. When she mentioned her book on our call, I realized it was THE SAME SAM. Slightly embarrassing, but also perfect.) My call with @David Mason was all about reaching our monetary goals by year-end and building our client bases. @Mirtha Pena and I have this funny thing where we've never intentionally booked a 1-on-1 call, but we end up connecting every week anyway. Even in breakout rooms, we accidentally end up together. We are now working on getting to the paid clients by end of the year.

Remember my post when @Sofiya Pierce threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to beat her 10K activities in a single day on Skool? Well... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED AND CRUSHED 💪 Final score: 10,540 activities 🔥 I was planning to do this Thursday, but then I saw a post about ranking and thought "let me just quickly check out these comments and engage with the community..." 3,000 activities later: "Well, I'm already this deep... might as well finish what I started" 😅 The Game: Spent hours going through posts and got completely hooked on book recommendations. Now I'm obsessed with "He Who Fights With Monsters" (currently on book 1, but I think I need the physical copy because this story deserves my full attention!). Maybe I discovered next favorite book series completely by accident?? Now, here is where challenge got REALLY interesting... I wasn't just mindlessly clicking (though Skool did tell me to slow down at one point ). I was choosing posts that caught my attention, and I discovered something about engaged communities. They don't just share niche content, they create REAL conversations about everything because they're actual communities, not just content dumps. People started DMing me saying they noticed I liked a bunch of their posts. These conversations are turning into genuine connections! Seeing what works in highly engaged communities gave me a treasure trove of ideas for my own community engagement Every challenge I do has a specific goal, but the surprise benefits are always better than what I originally aimed for. This one was supposed to be about hitting a number . Instead it became a masterclass in community engagement and genuine connection. Big shout out to @Sofiya Pierce you were right, this was tough but so worth it!

Hello everyone, so happy to be in The Game among such brilliant minds! I'm passionate about art, creativity, chocolate & connection(at a very human level). Love the online game and I'm here to stay. When it comes to networking I'm actually the Sloth, I take a while to get back to DM's and e-mails but by the time I do get back, I do it with intention and heart 🧡 HOW ABOUT YOURSELF: If your networking style was an animal, which one would you be and why (maybe drop a Gif to illustrate?)

Answer with a Gif.
