Starting from Scratch... Thank you @Ben Newcomb for inspiring this lil training!

I'm creating a Skool community for a partner we just wrapped up a BEAMER campaign for. Right now I'm working with the partner to dial in the mission/movement for the community... But once that's done... What are some clever ways to get people moved from the partner's email list and into the new Skool group?

I’m noodling on a movement that feels personal… but I think it might resonate with some of you too. Here’s the trigger: I’m not trying to be Superdad. I’m not trying to be the Instagram parent. But I AM tired of saying “sorry, sweetie, daddy’s working” to my 8-year-old daughter every day. She’s shooting up like a weed, man. The thing that kills me isn’t the work. It’s that I’m often not available when it actually matters. That’s where this movement starts: ** Present Parent = Freedom to say YES when it matters ** Now, this isn’t really a “parenting” thing… It’s more like a permission slip. A way out of saying “I’m busy” every time someone you love needs a moment of you. (For me, it’s “Can we play?” while I stare at my screen like an idiot, saying “sorry, not now my love”) No more “productivity porn” No more selling time like it’s the only card in our decks Sagoing it up, Present Parent is about : ➤ Assets over time ➤ Flows over grind Not making more money. Not doubling productivity. Just owning our damn hours, and being present whenever you need - or want to. Could be skating with my daughter, helping my mom without constantly checking my watch, or, I dunno… learning how to play “Bark at the Moon” on guitar. I'm calling it Present Parent. Not about being perfect. Just being present by choice, not by chance. Quick poll - and please be real with me On a scale of 1-10… 1 being “Leandro, I’d rather get kicked in the privates than joining this movement” 10 being “I'd get kicked in the privates so I can join this” ...How interested are you in having more time to be Present? Thanks, Leandro (P.S. if this gets 20 votes, I’ll post a quick video of me playing a bit of Bark At The Moon :) )

Community F.I.R.E. MISSION: Cover Your Monthly Living Expenses in ONE Hour a Day, with ONE PERSON, in ONE year (or Less) if Your Monthly Expenses are Less Than $10,000 a Month. 🌎RENTING access to your micro-community worldwide. I am calling this our 'ONE PLAN' for short. Who is with me? Will you COMMIT to ONE HOUR a day? Will you COMMIT for ONE YEAR? (If your monthly expenses are way below $10k a month, it will likely be way faster.) Look... I remember. I was working 60 to 70 hours a week SELLING my time to an employer. It was TOUGH to commit to one hour a day. I got up at 4 a.m. to MAKE SURE I got my hour in. It's not a small commitment. I am glad I made the commitment. I remember watching my son graduate from high school... It was memorable for me because I MISSED so many of his birthdays, school events and such because I had NOT figured out my RENTAL MODEL and only knew a SALES MODEL. Which meant my BOSS owned my TIME! I was THEIR RENTAL MODEL. They got to attend EVERY ONE of their two kids' events... But... I could NOT get the "time off" approved by them for my son's important days. Eric graduated in 2006... I'd given my boss the middle finger award in February of that year. And I KNEW I would 100% be attending his graduation LIVE and IN PERSON! Committing to ONE HOUR a day took me 2-ish years... But... I didn't understand the RENTAL MODEL of income VERSUS the SALES MODEL of income. I tried several "sales model" businesses. "Flipping" items/services and such. It didn't work (at first) because I had to start over at $0 every single month. And I'm NOT talking about a SUBSCRIPTION business. Subscriptions are just ONE MONETIZATION path of a RENTAL MODEL of income. (We'll jam on that more later.) But... 👀What I want to know right now? Is... 👉Are you with me? To... Cover Your Monthly Living Expenses in 👍ONE Hour a Day 👍with ONE PERSON (If you love managing people, go for more.) 👍in ONE year By RENTING access to your lil community?

I don’t want to wait until I’m old and dragging my ballz behind me in a walker to start living!! If you want $10,000 per month… The trad FIRE gurus will tell you to scrimp and save for a decade (or two) to save up $3 million and pull out 4% a year. ($120,000) What could go wrong?😑 Even if you make it… I don’t know about you? But I don’t want to wait 20 years. Call me impatient! I also don’t want to scrimp by. And you know WHY? 3 mill isn’t as cool when my ballz drag along behind me in my walker! Chicks don’t dig it! 😂 I want to live now! …while I’ve got my swagger! LIVING well is the goal. Now… Community F.I.R.E. Isn’t about sacrificing today so we can live in 2045. It’s about living fully in the moment and PRODUCING something - a community - that other people want/need so much that they’d invest $100 a month and feel like it’s a bargain. Producing a community and putting in 100 members at $100 a month produces $10,000 a month - so we can do what we want, when we want and with whom we want before our ballz or boobs make rude appearances! It can be done in a FRACTION of the time someone can save up $3,000,000 unless your last name is Kardashian or Bezos:-) But hold on to your undies… Monthly subscriptions are only ONE way to monetize. There are a dozen OTHER ways. (Topics for another day.) The coolest part… The part that “hangs” everybody up… Is YOU don’t NEED to be the EXPERT! 👉 You are PRODUCING the community and putting the RIGHT people in and have the VISION about the MISSION or the MOVEMENT the community stands for! A community doesn’t exist because of great content! That’d be like saying a town exists because the newspaper is so good! Does that make sense? Right now… With AI and all the “bad news”… People NEED purpose, mission or a movement to be a part of in 2025…NOT more content. I’m not against great content and delivering insights… I’m just saying it’s NOT what makes a thriving community! (Or excited to invest $100 a month.)
