Origin: My husband and I married in 2010 and lived in Northern California. We worked with at-risk youth in the mental health field where we were trained in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention. We moved to Ohio in 2013 and I worked with individuals with developmental disabilities before landing in the nonprofit world working with children and families in Cincinnati, Oh. During that time I obtained my Bachelor's of Science from Cincinnati Christian University. I had aspirations to get my MSW to continue helping my community. I was a creative - an aspiring writer - with an intense love for helping people. We became parents in 2016 and I left my place of employment to stay home with my daughter. From 2016 on, I have been a stay at home parent for my own children, and for a few years - foster children too. We now have 4 beautiful daughters that I homeschool, ranging from 3 to 9 years of age. I became trained in Trust-Based Relationship Intervention, and did a deep dive into various parenting books and communities to help better understand the brains of my children and how to best support their growth through childhood. Over the years I have done some content creating both personally and for local businesses. I now clean airbnbs - though the dream is to own a few really cool ones one day. My husband is a Fire Lt. and owns a pressure washing business. We are tired of the rat race. A year ago we moved an hour away from the amazing community we’d spent over a decade building. The last year has been very difficult - from navigating financial difficulty to physical and mental health struggles. My home feels like it has fallen apart - clutter everywhere, inconsistent homeschooling routines - just mess and chaos. Desired Future State: A stable home I desire to live in with systems in place to help me live the life I want to live. Financial freedom - Debt free, travel, and plenty of quality time together as a family. Opportunities to help struggling families walk through times of crisis while providing hope and clarity for their futures. Obtain my MSW without going into crippling debt. Write as a creative outlet.

ORIGIN Mom of 2 beautiful children, wife of 21 years, happily married, happily professionally engaged in my dream career. Clinical Psychologist since 2009, 6 years in public health service in South Africa, working in private practice Dubai since 2014. I love what I do and I know that I'm good at it. I have achieved all the goals I set in my 20's. I'm so grateful to be working in a fascinating, exciting, meaningful field of work that also allows me to be flexible - I work online, from home. I am professionally and personally fulfilled, with a sense of purpose that is deeply meaningful. The bottleneck is... there is nowhere to go. There are no promotions or natural career progression. I already study every year to keep my skills sharp and stay mentally engaged. I could do a PhD, but it wouldn’t increase my income. I could open a clinic, but the bureaucratic burden and responsibility of managing other psychologists in the UAE is unappealing and feels draining. DESIRED FUTURE STATE I’m looking for clarity about what comes next. I love the work I do and would happily continue if it allowed me to earn significantly more. Right now, my vision is overly broad - to use my skills as a mature, experienced clinician in a way that has similar meaning, impact, and flexibility, but with much higher income. My ideal life would look the same, but with more freedom. I would travel more, surf more, spend more time with my husband and kids, socialise more, and cook occasionally instead of working every spare moment. WHY My husband is a teacher and not ambitious. We spent our early years together having incredible experiences and travelling. Now we have two children and no retirement plan or savings. We live modestly. We’re proud to be debt-free and own a small apartment near the beach in Cape Town. Our children attend private school, which is important to us, but it adds pressure. We can’t afford to travel nearly as much as we’d like, and the idea of working indefinitely is not sustainable.

Origin: Left a comfy job in nonprofit to join a growing construction company. I have come to realize its not what I want to do with my life and it's been exceptionally hard on my family with uncertainty for the past two years. Desired Future State: I want to create some type of platform teaching basketball in some capacity. I'm interesting in two routes and both may be able to coexist. But one is developing training routines for different kinds of players. And the other is creating different kinds of playbooks for coaches to use for their teams. Why: Basketball and sports in general is what I'm passionate about in life. And I love the aspect of helping people grow in it and all the lessons it teaches along the way. It doesn't feel like work. Fears: A crippling belief that nothing I have to offer is of value.

Origin: Originally from Ireland, been living in Canada just over 16 years. I've led a colourful life so far, worked in private banking in London in my 20's, experienced great success, had money, owned properties, and lost it all in the recession circa 2008/09 and kinda haven't found my way since. I have however found a good deal of success in my sport as a professional rider, I've made it all the way to Grand Prix and have more good things to come. The journey however has rendered me broke, so on the business side of things I'm looking for a win. I got my real estate license last year but the market is terrible at the moment, especially since I'm new to it here in Canada (I spent a few years doing it in the UK when I lived there). So here I am on Skool looking to make my mark. My first community is for the mental preparation side of riding and competing, it doesn't have a huge audience but I knew going in that it wasn't going to be big, more of a tool for my students that I coach and then for anyone else who would like to get involved. My next skool pursuit is in the self help category and is designed to help people stay accountable to their goals. I truly believe that this could be very valuable to a lot of people and it would really make me happy to help people get closer to their dreams, the financial reward of this would be a close second. Desired Future State: Right now, and the reason that I'm here is to build this newer community of mine into something great that really helps ambitious people get to where they want to be, the financial reward of this would be nice, I have the figure of 5k per month in mind by the end of the year. Why: Reason number 1: autonomy, live the way I want, all the while still pursuing my dreams. Lift the financial weight that I have right now. I have a son who is an exceptional human (people tell me all the time how kind he is) , and I have a literal 1 in a million Fiance, they both deserve the very best version of me. Fears: I'm afraid that I have the means to attain my dreams but not the direction, one of my biggest fears is that I spend time doing the wrong things, time is finite and our most precious resource.

Origin: Displaced New Zealander living in North Berwick Scotland. I like to go after big hairy audacious goals and believe that anything is possible hence a crazy challenge I have planned in September of Everesting my local mountain. Digital marketing agency owner specialising in Google ads and paid advertising and been on skool since Sam started it but only been creating communities for a 1 and a half now. Would like to move away from done for your digital services, as whenever I get to a certain milestone/client level I start to dislike the work and it gets bit much. I have always been the operator but know I need to step up and create my own thing or at least charge more. Desired Future State: Work on the products I want to with clients or my own, do the work that I am excited to do and maybe specialise in one thing to make life easier. I want to help more people achieve big goals like building their business, inspire younger people to follow their dreams and continue to grow as a person. My revenue goal is £50k per month so that there is no financial burden to fly back to New Zealand whenever we want. I would like to tick off more of my top experiences, inspire my family and teach my children how to achieve greatness for themselves, for their own goals. Why: Why not, you only get one life. It is too short to waste. Fears: Pursing my dreams at the expense of family income. I want to make sure we have enough. I guess this is why I have not just got rid of the agency work completely. Not fully knowing what to move into next as I have hundreds of ideas but not always sure of the direction to take but believe I can figure it out along the way.
