Community builders have access to more ideas, strategies, frameworks, and experience than ever. And honestly, a lot of it is really good. But two smart, experienced people can suggest very different approaches…and both can make sense. Different communities. Different people. Different goals. Different stages of the build. So I’ve been wondering... 👉 When you come across an idea or piece of advice that sounds good, how do you decide whether it makes sense to try in YOUR community? What moves you from “That’s a good idea.” to “That’s worth testing in my build.” Maybe it fits something you’re already noticing. Maybe you’ve seen it work somewhere similar. Maybe there’s evidence behind it. Maybe someone understands your particular situation. Or maybe you decide in a completely different way. 🔬 That’s what I’m curious about this week: How do we decide when good advice fits our particular build? I have some ideas about where this could take us, but I’m keeping those to myself for now. 😂 I want to hear how YOU decide first.

Some of you know me and thus you know that my brain is pretty hard to shut down! The Exchange is growing and I have a lot of thoughts on how to grow it even more. Currently I am looking at the next phase - courses that will eventually become part of the VIP purchase. Where you can help me is in the roll out! Build each, keep them in draft, open them all at once with a new VIP price. OR Put them in the classroom gated by a price and then when they are all there, open all 3 to a VIP purchase, presenting a deal, compared to the 1 off price. These courses like everything in my classroom that is Ask Lynne will continue to grow with demand. OR Change VIP when I have one course ready, at a lower price and increase as I add classes. All thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

@Alex Beviss Welcome to Skoolology! We're really glad you found us. 😊 And you know me...when someone new joins, I usually go have a little look around. 😂 So, of course, I went over to see what you're building with Prostate Paladin. What caught my attention is how personal this work is for you. Your own unnoticed prostate issue led to what became 16 years of research, and you've since created books, apps, workshops, guides, and courses to help men better understand their prostate health and their options. And for everyone else, Alex is building a community around a subject that affects an awful lot of men and families, mine included—but isn't always easy to talk about. One line from Prostate Paladin says it beautifully: “From fear and confusion to confidence and control.” Alex, I’m looking forward to learning more about where you want to take it—and I have a feeling there are some good conversations waiting for you here. Everyone, help me give Alex a warm Skoolology welcome. 💙
