Pause what you're doing and congratulate these people!!! This week not one, but THREE people earned their stars on Skool!!! Please congratulate @Shannon Boyer, @Lydia Wilmsen, and @Nick Nebelsky!!!! 🎉 These are the owners of: The Classifieds | Advertise Your Skool | AI Storytellers ⭐️ These aren't just emojis. They're symbols of consistency, hard work, and showing up when it matters. They're the result of showing up day after day; even when life is busy, even when you're tired, even when no one seems to notice. It's the result of brilliance, community, and leading with value. And here's the thing: a lot of you are doing this right now. You're showing up. You're contributing. You're building. Some of you are a few weeks away from your star. Some of you just earned your fire. Some of you are quietly grinding without any recognition at all; and that's real too. Give it all time. These three just hit the milestone this week. But the work you're putting in? It's seen, and it matters just as much. Keep going.

Outside of BBC, I run 5 other companies. Some automated, some not. This week was nonstop. Family, customers, meetings, building and scaling. You'll never hear me say I'm busy, or exhausted, or burnt out, because truly I love the thrill of it all. I've also found that I always come back here. And honestly, it's not even close. The conversations in this room are different. The energy is different. Helping people land clients, scale their skools, and launch products from Pandora's Box has been a joy I haven't felt in years. This room is rare. Business Builders Evolution has sparked an excitement in me I haven't felt in a long time. There's so many incredible and passionate people with world changing missions in this room and I'm just honored to be around it all. Most communities don't have this. I've been in enough to know. This weekend I'm catching up on every thread and DM. If you haven't dropped your community in the Hot Seat post yet, go do that. I'll get to it soon. I'll be sharing a lot of my learnings from my other companies in the coming weeks. The wins, the failures, the systems that work, the stories that birthed the ideas and more. If you're new, welcome. I will be personally welcoming every new member as I've always done. I'm dropping something brand new for this community next week. You'll be the first to know. 🎁 I'm looking forward to chatting with you all. Have a great weekend and see you in the threads! 🫶🏾🥂

If you see a spammer or bot, report them and I or my admins will kick them out to keep this community clean. Your help ensures that we keep this community protected and special. Let’s give these spammers and bots the 🥾👋! 🚨HOW TO REPORT: 1. Click the 3 dots next to the profile/post/comment and click report 🚨HOW TO IDENTIFY A BOT/SPAMMER 1. Weird or strange comments 2. Ask for WhatsApp number or dm 3. Simply says “hello how are you doing” 4. Promotes something strange or too good to be true Last night @Theresa Elliott , @Mindy Molein and a few more of you helped report a few spam comments here inside the community. This morning a bot joined and then changed their identity to impersonate me. I immediately banned the users and removed all of their previous posts. THIS HELPS A LOT. So please do what they did, help me protect this place! 🫶🏾

Where does true joy come from? Harvard ran a study on happiness for 100 years. They followed 724 people from adolescence through their entire lives; tracking their health, careers, relationships, and overall happiness. The conclusion? Money didn't predict happiness. Fame didn't predict happiness. Success didn't predict happiness. Relationships did. The people who were happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilled weren't the richest or most successful ones. They were the ones who had deep, meaningful relationships. Not hundreds of shallow connections. Not LinkedIn networks. Real friendships. People who knew them. People who cared. This is why I built this community. This is why I encourage everyone to be present, on and off of skool. It's why I try and focus on the community just as much as the classroom. Yes, we're here to make money. Yes, we're here to scale. But at the core, we're here to build WITH people, not just around them. The wins matter. But the people you meet along the way matter more. So let me ask: How many people in this community do you actually KNOW beyond their profile? Think about it. Then DM one person you want to know better this week, or call them out here. You never know what will happen. Or tag someone in this community who's made a difference for you. Tell them why. Let them know they matter. Because at the end of the day, true joy doesn't come from the revenue. It comes from the relationships. (Click here to view a video of the study if you're interested, I thought it was very cool) I'll be spending as much time as I can today catching up on all the threads and reviewing skools

I've been getting the same question a lot recently: "David, how do I actually grow my Skool?" So I've built the answer: Next week, 3 exclusive modules drop for VIP members; each one designed to solve a specific Skool problem: 1. Positioning that makes people say "this is for me" 2. Engagement systems that keep your community alive 3. Growth strategies that don't rely on luck These are the some of strategies I've used to build a Top #10 Skool community in less than 40 days. VIP members get access next week. If you've been on the fence about upgrading, they're still 30% off. 🚨 Also, Business Builders Evolution spots are filling up! This is where I'll work with you 1 on 1 to scale your skool or saas product. If you're not sure whether it's for you, DM me to book a discovery call. Onwards! 🚀
