trick or treat, but the candy is new members. crews of 3-4 ppl. you go door to door through each other's communities and beyond, leaving comments worth reading. 🎯 goal: 5+ new members each, 15+ per crew, by Monday 12pm Israel time. people don't join a community because you asked them to. they join because you said something useful under someone else's post, and they clicked your name to see who you are. that's the heist. but it's not the real prize. the real prize is learning to build WITH people instead of next to them. most community builders go it alone. the ones who grow faster have a few people who show up in their threads, send them members, and swap notes on what's working. this weekend you find out who those people are for you. pick your crew like you'll keep them don't grab the first three names. look for people who: - serve a similar audience to yours, but don't sell the same thing - are at a similar stage, so the swap goes both ways - actually post and reply in here, not just lurk === THE RULES 1. get a crew - form your own crew of 3-4 in the comments below and give it a name. - no crew? comment "solo" and i'll help you find one. 2.write down your starting number - check your member count today. your crew's starting number is all your counts added up. 3.go door to door - start with your crewmates' communities. comment on their posts. - then go beyond: first, check the Vault (i am updating it today), then find other RELEVANT Skool communities - anywhere your people already hang out. 4.leave a treat, not a flyer - a treat is an answer - an example from your own community, your story, your experience, your case study - a flyer is "great post, check out my community." no links in comments. no DM blasts. 5.report back by Monday, 19th Oct, 12pm Israel time, drop in this thread: - starting count, ending count, new members - your biggest insight from the Heist - what made the biggest difference - one thing your crew is doing together next (optional)

Saturday movie time: Julie & Julia. one of my favs and it's secretly a movie about building a community. if you haven't seen it, Julie decides to cook all 524 recipes from Julia Child's cookbook in 365 days. and blog about every single one. her first reader was her mom. that's the part i love most. she kept cooking and posting for an audience that didn't exist yet. day 12. day 40. day 90. mostly quiet. but then people started showing up. not because one post blew up. because she'd been there every day when they arrived. that's why consistency matters on Skool. people do stay where someone has clearly been showing up for a while. which brings me to the flame 🔥 yes, there is a lot of discussion about the flame: to flame or not to flame. in the Hackathon i keep nagging you about it: - 10 activities a day on Skool. - a like, a comment, a post, - anything counts. and i know some of you are thinking "what does a little flame have to do with getting 100 members or success on Skool" everything, actually. the flame is your Julie blog. it's proof that YOU ARE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY. because the people who get to 100 members aren't the most talented ones. they're the ones who kept showing up on the boring days. i know that most of you have a job, a family, a life. BUT 10 activities is something you can do on a coffee break. Julie had a day job too, and she still boned a duck at midnight. so while you watch, ask yourself: 1. when does Julie want to quit, and what keeps her going? 2. Julia gets told no on her book. what would you have done at the first no? 3. Julie cooks after work. where's your "after work" slot for your business? 4. if you committed to your community for a full year, not a month, what would you do differently starting Monday? grab popcorn. come back and drop your answer in the comments: what day of your flame are you on? ⬇️ p.s. i changed my plans here to annual only: Premium at $9/ VIP at $90. you must commit or it does not work.
