One of my written goals for 2026 is to reach 2000 members. Yesterday I hit 1000 members...... halfway to my goal on the 13th day of the year! I would like to thank a few people here that have me grow my group over the last 30 days. First my wife (not in this group) for her support and ideas for engaging posts! Second all of my amazing members who show up, comment, like, and share the group all over! @Heather Boers @Lynice Bamm @Nat J. @Ina Tenniswood these are just a few... If you are an active member and you are here in let me know! Third: @Joseph Groom Over at Skool Hub for creating a place to connect and promote! Last but not least, @David Iya for the motivation and ideas to scale my business in 2026! 🟢Here are the top 3 ways I grew my group to 1000. (507 in 30 days) 1️⃣ First was clear and easy Affiliate Program: Here’s exactly how it happened: 1. Weekly Affiliate Challenges 🎯 Every Monday I posted a simple challenge for affiliates: Top referrer each week won a 30-min 1-on-1 call with me. Result: Affiliates sent consistent traffic all month long. 2. Ready-to-Use Swipe Copy & Graphics 📌✨ I gave everyone plug-and-play text + Canva graphics to promote the free community. No one had to start from scratch — they just copied, swapped their link, and posted. Made it dead easy for affiliates to spread the word. 2️⃣ Being active in other groups! Show up and make real connections! No tips.... just do it! 3️⃣ I ran a few ads on Pinterest! ( spent $20 in the past 30 days!) - Pinterest acts like a visual search engine where people actively hunt for solutions (courses, communities, tools), so ads reach buyers with high intent instead of passive scrollers. - One well-targeted ad can keep driving traffic and new Skool members for months or even years — unlike most platforms where content dies after 24 hours. - With low competition and strong buyer mindset, Pinterest ads deliver some of the highest ROI for Skool owners looking to fill their groups without constant manual outreach.

Every single day, I spend 60 seconds giving thanks. That's it. One minute. And here's what I've noticed: by the end, I'm never out of things to be grateful for. I start with the obvious stuff; my family, my health, my bed, my pets. But then it goes deeper. The people in this community. The opportunities I have today. The fact that I woke up with a roof over my head and food in the fridge. Every single time the 60 seconds is up, I find myself thinking of more. 📕 Here's why this matters: Studies show that people who practice daily gratitude experience: - 25% increase in happiness levels - Better sleep quality - Stronger immune systems - Improved relationships - Lower stress and anxiety Gratitude isn't just a feel good practice. It shifts our perspectives. It enhances our lives. Try this for the next 7 days: 1. Every day you wake up. Set a timer for 60 seconds. 2. Think of everything you're grateful for. 3. Speak them outloud. Don't stop until the timer goes off. You'll be surprised how much you have. What's one thing you're grateful for today? Drop it below. 👇 If someone comments and you're thankful for that person, let them know too.

Getting there!

Time to reveal your truths everyone!!! Friday night we played Never Have I Ever and I said the winner gets a 24 hr pinned post of their businesses or skool. This was the most fun yet. Such a wild group. First off: you all are SO FUNNY and interesting! 😂 I'm always amazed by everyone here. The stories in the comments had me laughing all night. Some of you have lived entire lifetimes. Some of you are genuine adrenaline junkies, and others have never even gotten a speeding ticket. The spectrum of chaos in here is unmatched. I love these games because I get to know all of you better every time. ♥️ ALSO plot twist: I played my own game wrong. (Sleep deprivation strikes again) My wife, and @Gareth Parkes reminded me that UP is a Pixar movie, and I absolutely cried during the opening scene. 🤧😪 So, I actually had 4 truths and only 1 lie: 1. ✅ Should've been LIE - I HAVE cried during Pixar 2. ✅ TRUE - I have been snowboarding in Aspen 3. ✅ TRUE - I have texted "omw" when I hadn't left 4. ❌ LIE - I have not pretended WiFi was bad (my only actual lie) 5. ✅ TRUE - I have definitely pretended to know songs when everyone was singing So, anyone that guessed 1 or 4 will get an extra point for my questions. 😂 NOW IT'S YOUR TURN - DROP YOUR REVEALS BELOW! 👇 ⚠️ Note: I also realized that some people played the game backwards. If you did then please type "BACKWARDS" so I can take that into account when I'm tallying up everyone's points for this. 🫶🏾
