Everyone wants the perfect funnel. But one real relationship can outperform ten automations. Some of my biggest opportunities came from: A comment A DM A conversation A genuine connection Not a campaign. People do business with people they trust. If growth feels slow right now, ask yourself: Who am I actually building relationships with?

What's one thing you're working on today? Share one of the following: 1. Your top task 2. A small win you're aiming for 3. A blocker you'd like help with I'm cheering you on. Every step counts.

Can we normalize talking about burnout? Not the dramatic kind. The quiet kind. The kind where you’re still showing up… but everything feels heavier than it should. If you’ve felt that lately, you’re not broken. You’re human. What helps you recharge when you feel drained?

I just finished a chat with Andrew Kirby about our situation and what they saw on their side. My biggest misunderstanding was thinking Skoolers and “Skool the platform” were the same thing. They’re not. Skoolers is a community like ours. It’s run with its own standards, and they moderate it the way they want their community to feel. The border is pretty simple in practice.Inside a community is inside the border.Anything that spills into other communities is outside the border. That’s why the Purge became a real problem. In my group, people were using my face as their profile picture for jokes. When that spilled into Skoolers, it starts normalizing fake accounts and “who cares” profile identity. That snowballs fast, and it makes the whole platform feel less legit. Andrew also clarified what they mean by low-quality engagement. It’s loosely defined, but the patterns are clear: - lots of posts with no real conversation - post and ghost - self-promotional posts - anything that looks like gaming the system to level up faster He told me the phrase “help me level up” gets flagged by the system. He also said most people cooperate and do fine. It’s usually a tiny handful of problem makers. His words were basically: out of huge numbers of users, they can count the real troublemakers on one hand. One more thing people should understand: Skoolers moderation is a community choice. They’re not “moderating the platform.” They’re protecting their room. Also, they have 5 moderators. They’re part-time. If we waste their time with annoying stuff, we are effectively burning the bandwidth of a small team. So here’s what I’m asking from the Yard going forward: - Use a real profile photo. Treat your account like it represents you. - If you post, stick around and reply. Try to create conversation, not noise. - Do not post anything framed around farming points, leveling up, or “help me level up.” - Respect moderators and admins. They are protecting the experience for everyone.
