I love hearing people's first jobs. Usually, it's so far from where they are now. Sometimes it caused a pivot in their life. Sometimes it was the beginning of a new adventure. What was your very first job? Or first few? And here's the real question: What did your first few jobs teach you that you still use today? Mine was at Hollister folding clothes and pretending the dimly lit store wasn't making me nauseous from the cologne. After that, since I was living in Florida, I became a pool boy, which sounds way cooler than it was. Mostly just long days in the Florida heat - skimming, scrubbing, hauling chlorine buckets, and hoping I didn't get another sunburn. (yes, I can get sunburnt lol) I also worked in the actual pool supply store filling up chlorine jugs, and I bleached more pairs of shoes than I can count. Looking back, as unglamorous as they were. I learned more from those jobs than I realized at the time. For me? Mine taught me patience, and attention to detail. How to read people and adjust based on who I'm talking to. And honestly, just to show up and be my best self no matter what the job is. Those early jobs definitely boosted my EQ in ways I didn't realize until years later. Drop your first job below and what it taught you.👇 And let's make this fun; scroll through the comments and find a few people who had the same job as you, or learned something similar, or maybe just a few interesting stories that resonates with you. 🫂

I didn't realize it until I saw it when I was responding to a DM. 😲 🔥I got my flame! This community is getting warmer each day! 🥵 If you have your flame, great job on your consistent efforts, even if it was just 10 activities a day. That is still a win! 🏆 If you haven't gotten yours yet, we are all here to cheer you on if it's something you are aiming for! 🥳 ALSO! ⚠️💞 I want to say thank you to @Ma. Socorro Castro . Why? She personally messaged me because she noticed that my "vibes" were not as vibing... in other words, I have been more busy than usual the past couple days and this week. She checked in on me personally to see how I was doing. That really touched me. Thank you Socorro for this gentle virtual high five! Each of your have a part in someone's day!

As a teacher, I can see AI being implemented in classrooms more and more. My boss had a meeting with the teachers regarding the use of AI being used at our academy. 🤷‍♀️So, here's a question for you: 👉 If an AI can do 90% of your job, what is the 10% that only you can do? 💭 Share your thoughts and help us use AI to assist us. It can be related to your sphere of work or life in general.

⚠️ Note: This is one of those posts where you'll want to read the entire thing. (Forgive the length) So, yesterday I finished reviewing every single Skool that was shared in the: 'Tis The Season. Drop Your Skool. Let's Sharpen Each Other post from this weekend. First off: you all showed up. The pages were strong. Real positioning. Real credibility. Real heart. Also, I'm not gonna lie, I expected it to feel like a chore. It didn't. I actually enjoyed it. A lot of you are building something real and it shows. But here's what's been running through my head since. I have a theory: Most people who find your Skool have already decided to join before they even land on your about page. Think about it. They saw you in a comment. They clicked your profile. They liked your energy. They followed a link someone shared. By the time they hit your about page, they're just looking for confirmation, not convincing. Which means we might be over-optimizing the wrong thing. I want to test this. Help me out. When you joined BBC, what actually got you here? Vote and be honest. This isn't about ego, you all can hurt my feelings if need be, I don't mind being wrong. I'm trying to figure out where conversions actually come from when all is said and done. Why this matters: I've been deep in research mode lately. Looking at who's hitting 30K MRR. Who's crossing 100K. What they're doing differently. And something keeps coming up: distribution beats decoration. The best about page in the world doesn't matter if nobody sees it. The question is how do you get seen, and what makes someone click join before they've read a single word? Here's where it gets interesting. One of the tools I'm building into the Skool Connect suite will let you A/B test your about pages. You'll be able to set up three or four different versions, and it tracks which one converts the highest over time. Then the winner will stick automatically.

The holidays have me in a giving mood. And this community has given me a lot of love & energy. So I want to give back. I was reading back through the "What Do You Actually Want?" thread, and one of the top requests was hot seat audits on our upcoming weekly calls. So, let's start practicing now! Drop your Skool link below and get honest, specific feedback. Not generic "looks good!" stuff. Real feedback. What's working. What's not. What I'd change if it were mine. I've been studying what makes Skool communities work. Quite obsessively, honestly. Things like: - About pages that convert vs ones that leak - Content structures that drive engagement vs ghost towns - Welcome sequences that retain vs ones that lose people in 48 hours - Pricing tiers that make sense vs ones that confuse (more coming soon) You've all given so much to this community so I want to take time to review your profiles before this group gets bigger. Not only your Skool community, YOU. Your bio. Your positioning. How you present yourself. You don't need accolades. You need a bio that makes the right people say "this is for me." Here's how this works: 1. Drop your Skool profile link below 2. Share a one-liner about who you are and what you're building Then, review at least 3 other communities in this thread. Be honest: - What do you like about their vision? - What's unclear or could improve? - Would you join? Why or why not? I'll be going through as many as I can and giving personalized thoughts. Let's sharpen each other heading into the new year. Drop your link. Let's grow together. 👇 P.S. There's a lot of exciting updates coming that I've been SO impatient to share. From announcing the billionaire, to going paid, and more! A few of them will be dropping next week. Stay tuned. 🥂
