happy Saturday! today i'm going a little hard on you. ⚠️ fair warning: this might feel triggering. but please know — my only goal is to help you grow. let's start with some hard questions: - do you want to charge money for your community? yes or no - are you a member of any paid communities? if yes — how many? how much are you paying? - if no — why do you think people will pay you, when you're not ready to pay anyone else? - when you post in your community or in others, how many comments do you expect? 3? 5? 10? more? now flip it. - how many comments do you leave every day on other people's posts in other communities? and finally — do you show up? - like, when you joined this hackathon, did you actually go through all 30 lessons? doing the work. leaving the comments. supporting your accountability buddy. did you show up on any of the calls? yes? no? partly? - now ask yourself — do you expect your community members to go through your lessons, comment their answers, show up on your calls? i am not here to blame you. i am here to help you progress!!! if you want to be a leader — a community owner — you must lead by example. not just inside your own community. everywhere. - you must show up, if you want others to show up. - you must stay consistent, if you want others to be consistent. - you must pay, if you want others to pay. it's not just about gaining trust, visibility, and results (though you will). it's also about learning what it actually takes to be on the other side. because things that feel easy to you in one area? they might be incredibly hard for someone else in that same area. and you won't truly understand that until you get in their shoes. so today, let's get real honest here, and ask ourselves: am i doing the things i'm asking my people to do? ⬇️

Checkpoint 1 of 10 — You're at the starting line. You've heard of a pub crawl. This is the version where you discover 9 incredible women-only communities over the weekend — learn something, meet someone, have some fun. Here's how it works: 👉 Visit each checkpoint community 👉 Drop an answer to the host's question in the comments 👉 Grab the link to the next stop at the bottom of each post 👉 Hit all 10 checkpoints = you'll get the swag bag of presents The swag bag is stacked with freebies from the hosts. You don't want to miss it. This community — the 30-Day Skool Hackathon — is where coaches, experts & online educators come to build their Skool community from zero to 100 members in 30 days. Your question for Checkpoint 1: - Are you currently running a Skool community, thinking about starting one, or just Skool-curious? Drop your answer below and head to the next stop! Checkpoint 2 → The Burnout Edit by Mel Sheffield ---- HERE are all the participants: @Mel Sheffield @Kathy Fluch @Minoo Shinde @Nadia Quraishi @Jennifer Juniper @Jennifer Maillet @Susan Wisnewski @Carli B Shabazz

In April, I did a crazy experiment (as always) - a community crawl. It's like a pub craw, but with the communities. We've grown with new members. We learnt about each other. We got gifts. We had fun. It was AMAZING! (see some feedback in the photos, pls) LET'S DO IT AGAIN. This weekend, I am running a Female Community Crawl. Same rules. FEMALE communities ONLY. - if you have a community for women - if you want more members - if you available this weekend to meet & greet new members (and support other crawl participants) - if you have some sort of gift (optional) IMPORTANT: Your community must be free/ freemium/ or have 7-day FREE trial to participate. Let me know in the comments. I will send you the google form ⬇️ ONLY 9 communities! Sorry, only 8 - cause we always start HERE ))
