Skool is making it easier for your community to get discovered
If youโ€™ve been sitting on a business idea but donโ€™t want to post on social media every dayโ€ฆ this changes things. Skool just rolled out a major search update, and it opens up a completely different way to get traffic and customers without relying on content. In this video, Iโ€™ll show you exactly how it works, how people are already getting found, and what you should do if you want to take advantage of it. P.S. Have you seen this post yet?

ChatGPT really helps formulate angles on ideas that I give it.
Why it took me nearly 4 years to get 20k subscribers on YouTube
If you have a YouTube channel or plan on using YouTube to promote your Skool community, take the time to watch my latest YouTube video. I did YouTube wrong for 3 years. It took me that long to reach 1,000 subscribers. In May of 2025 I made a shift. Since that shift, I've added over 19k subscribers to my channel. I also added over 7,000 email subscribers and over 1,000 Skool community members. Watch the video for the full breakdown. Here's the bulleted list of what I did. - I posted consistently for almost 4 years (1,154 videos total) - It took me 3 years to hit 1,000 subscribers - The last 10โ€“12 months = +19,000 subscribers - My biggest advantage: I didnโ€™t stop when everyone else does - I committed to 3 videos per week (minimum) for a full year - I focused on reps, not perfection (100 videos goal) - I stopped chasing dopamine (shorts/views) - I started focusing on getting people to take action (join Skool, email list, etc.) - I shifted from โ€œposting contentโ€ to making searchable content - I used YouTube search bar to find what people are already looking for - I studied competitors and modeled what was already working - I fixed my video structure: Hook in first 30 seconds. Get straight to the point. Deliver on the title immediately. No long intros - I accepted that: Some videos flop (even good ones). Some average videos win. You donโ€™t control performanceโ€ฆ only output - I defined what I actually wanted: Not views. Not subscribers. I wanted people to take action - And the biggest one: I stayed in the game longer than most people are willing to P.S. The free trial for Mindset Skool is still live. When we reach 300 members the insane 70% annual savings is going away. We are at 293 now. Don't delay. Start your free trial here: https://www.skool.com/mindsetskool/about

Absolutely a golden list. I've had and continue to have a commitment to most of these. After recently, just hitting my hundredth video on YouTube, I realize that was just the beginning of my journey. And I've recommitted to another hundred :-) see ya in Mindset Skool!
Wednesday Validation Check โœ”๏ธ
One of the biggest mistakes people make when starting an online business is building something nobody asked for. Thatโ€™s why validation exists. And it doesn't need to be complicated. You just need to find out if any human being actually cares about the problem you want to solve. So letโ€™s do a quick check-in. Comment below with this: Idea: What problem are you trying to solve? Who did you ask? Friends, coworkers, LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook, etc. Result: How many people said they'd actually want help with this? Example: Idea: Helping busy dads get in shape with 20-minute workouts Who I asked: 6 people from my gym Result: 3 said they'd be interested Thatโ€™s validation. And noโ€ฆ you donโ€™t need 100 people. Even 2-3 real responses is enough to move forward.

The problem I would be solving or helping others with is the problem people have with starting their YouTube channels. I didn't really ask if anyone was interested. Upwards of 10 people have reached out to me and asked if I either could help them or if I offered advisement and how much I charge. I really did not want to go this route per se but in thinking about it recently I think it would probably be the best path forward for me right now as my channel is being built and seeing some success.
๐Ÿ”• The 5 Signs Youโ€™re Still Stuck in Research Mode
Be honest with yourself. Which one is you? 1.Youโ€™ve watched more trainings than youโ€™ve published posts. 2. Youโ€™ve changed your niche 3+ times. 3. You keep saying โ€œIโ€™m almost ready to launch.โ€ 4. You save content about starting a businessโ€ฆ but donโ€™t start yours. 5. You feel busy learning, but nothing youโ€™ve built exists yet. None of these mean youโ€™re lazy. They mean youโ€™re stuck in what I call research comfort. It feels productive. It feels responsible. It feels safe. But itโ€™s still stuck. Most people donโ€™t fail because they chose the wrong idea. They fail because they never chose one long enough to build momentum. Which number are you right now?

I'd have to say Number 3 is closest to where I am right now ๐Ÿ˜Ž
