Someone asked me if starting the new paid community hurt engagement in the Content Academy. I didn't know, it was a good question. Turned out, active members in the Content Academy is up since the No-Code Architects launch. Now, I'm not exactly sure what's behind that, I won't even speculate. It might be people coming over from the Skool Games, or dare I say all the promotion 🤦 But it's interesting to see the data. Good to know it didn't go down! On average for the past year, we've maintained this level of activity as the members increased (ranging from 36% to 40%) The 3rd graph is from the No-Code Architects, which I think makes a lot of sense because people are paying for it.

👉 Letting other people help you 👈 (at least for me, this was the hard skill to develop) I'm kind of the build in private type, solo kind of guy, very independent. The act of building a community is quite foreign to me, I still feel that way now. But what I've learned here in the Content Academy (and also in my new community) is that the real skill for building community is letting people help you. You want people to enjoy the community, stick around, right? The only thing that will really do that is all the people. People will burn through all your course material in minutes. Then what? I mean, you can use the Skool leaderboard and give people access to courses as they engage and get points. But does that REALLY drive the right behavior? People start to game it, and just post to get likes to unlock courses. Something deeper has to be there. You just need that core of 3-5 people that are active to run even a 4000+ community. And another 5-10 that come and go from time to time. That should be your focus, the people—more than trying to burn yourself out creating more and more course material to keep people fed. The truth is most people aren't using that info, instead, how can you actually change their behavior, get them to use the info, and benefit from? That's the key. People need to be progressing in some way to stay with you. And thanks everyone for making this such a great place!! 🙏

Planning can be a powerful thing, sometimes. But it can also be a waste of time. Planning can also become overwhelming as well if you're stuck in planning mode. Sometimes we lack the experience to build detailed plans to achieve large goals. So if we try, that can lead us to spin our wheels and go down useless rabbit holes and todo list building. Or scanning the internet for the perfect plan. When is a plan a good thing? Well consider this, I could pretty easily give you a plan to get on video, or scale your content to 100+ pieces of content per week. It would be very detailed and would lead you right to where you need to be very quickly. A good physical trainer could give you a plan to get healthy in 90 days. Step-by-step. Those plans (if you wanted those things) would be pretty powerful and useful. Experts know all the little step you need to get there—and they can lay them out for you. But when you try and create those complex plans on your own without the experience—it's a waste of time. The better approach is to make a goal. And then to identify the next biggest roadblock in your way to achieve that goal. You don't even need to identify all the steps to the goal. Having a loose idea of the steps to that goal isn't a bad thing—but that list might change after you get over the first hump. All your planning needs to consist of each day (or the night before) is what are the 1 or 2 things I need to do today (or tomorrow) to I solve that next biggest challenge in front me. Keep your head down in that mode and devote all your energy to the challenge, not building todo lists. Imagine the clarity and focus you could give that challenge if you TAKE BACK all that mental energy from building all those lists and plans to get where you want to be. Food for thought.
