It's that time of the week when I pull back the curtain and show you what's going on behind the scenes of the Classifieds. Why? Well, because the members asked and also because, why not? So, ummm... I think I might have accidentally deleted this post from last week, so I don't have the comparison numbers to report on change. 😬 Number of Members: 833 Number of Premium Members: 170 Percentage of members who are Premium : 20.4% About Page Conversion: 25.1% Discovery Ranking in Money: #28 Discovery Ranking Overall: #99 Highest Activity Day: 1949 Lowest Activity Day: 524 The Context: So, my apologies for not having comparison numbers this week. I will tell you that I am denying way more new members than I am accepting. I'm going to start tracking it in the new year because it's actually staggering. We discussed this at the last PERSONALS meeting, and I've decided that keeping the engagement in the community high-quality is too important to me to open up enrollment. The group is public so that anyone can see what's being posted inside, but only Skool group owners can post. Another thing that was pointed out to me today is that this group has a high percentage of members who are online at any one time. As I write this 128 of you are currently online!!! And everyone on the 30-Day Leaderboard has a flame!!! That means that this is a very active group, and that is very valuable to me. IMPORTANT REMINDERS: This group supports you as affiliates, so the work you do to promote the group and encourage your people to upgrade to premium directly affects your pocketbook. At the very least, you can get your membership for free! Also, don't forget that we have another round of the PERSONALS on Wednesday where you get to promote your group and what you do, I record it, and then it gets shared in the community for all to see. Don't miss out! Check the calendar for the time in your timezone! What's one win that you experienced this week that you would like to share with the group? Comment below!

Want to grow your community and build trust faster? Here’s a simple mindset shift: Give > Ask. ✅ Comment more than you post ✅ Offer advice more than you request it ✅ Support others more than you seek it As we close out the year, I’m making it my goal to increase my give-to-ask ratio —10 gives for every 1 ask. 💥 It’s not just about strategy —It’s about showing up as the kind of person others want to work with. Who’s with me in the spirit of giving? Let’s start Doing Business Right! DBR p.s. If you want to ask more, then you need to give more. :)

Most entrepreneurs don’t have a time problem — it's usually one constraint that is holding everything else back. Until you identify the core issue, everything feels harder than it should. Some major constraints are: Traffic Offer Sales Fulfillment Retention Clarity For most of us, it is probably a Traffic or Offer constraint, especially if you are newer to entrepreneurship. We have created a new resource inside the DBR Single Entrepreneurs community — it helps you pinpoint your biggest constraint and break it down into clear, actionable strategies to move forward. Because once you know what’s holding you back…You can actually do something about it. 💥 What’s the biggest constraint in your business right now? Let's start Doing Business Right DBR

Hey everyone! This trick here helped to shift my perspective when I was speaking in front of a group! When you’re on stage, pick one person in the room. Talk to them. Then move to another. It turns a speech into a series of personal conversations and suddenly, the entire room feels seen. We practice this and more inside our free COMMUNITY. Hope to see you there! :) Ivan

Starting a business? Working from a laptop in a coffee shop? Googling “how to get clients” at 2 a.m. with leftover tacos? 🌮💻 Here’s my take: Entrepreneurship = building something from nothing… with zero guarantees and 100% guts. And when you’re single? It can have both its advantages and disadvantages. That’s why we started the DBR Single Entrepreneurs community — for connection, growth, and a little sanity. 👉 What does entrepreneurship mean to you? Let’s keep Doing Business Right! DBR
