Even MORE amazing!
@Aaron Fletcher, I’ve been a fan for a couple of years. You’re always en pointe with your trainings. This training was even more impactful. The clarity you’ve added, the lack of distractions during delivery of the content, the measured pace that builds item on top of item. You have raised it to the NEXT LEVEL — and I thought it was sky high already! Thank you. :)

Myers Briggs Roll Call
ENFJ here … but I’m always on the cusp of these test between analytical and sensing/feeling. What’s your Myers Briggs? And do you feel like you get any insight about yourself for other people from knowing this? Have you tested multiple times and changed over the years or been consistent? Also, what’s your favorite test?

@Tina Marie absolutely — I really, really want people to have access to the distinctions and principles I (and others) have discovered so they don’t have to suffer the way I did prior to figuring this stuff out. :)

@Diego Lucero, me too! Flip flops defending on circumstances. :)
OMG! (We all start somewhere)
Hey folks - just a quick but IMPORTANT reminder: All that matters is that you start! Let me explain... In March of 2012 I made this riveting video you see here :) I was driving 2 hours each way to a job (I had to get up at like 5:00AM to beat Bay Area traffic).. The only upside was I had 4 hours a day to listen to podcasts... Freedom Ocean with my now friend James Schramko, I Love Marketing with Joe Polish and Dean Jackson, SPI with Pat Flynn, May Wolfe, the list goes on! But each night I would greet my wife, have dinner together and then work from 7:00PM to as late as 1:00AM devouring courses, books and podcasts related to digital marketing... (I started doing this in 2009 - 4 years before I had the courage to publish this YouTube video) Actually our honeymoon in August of 2009 planted the seed for my wife Liz and I to pursue a life of more freedom - while working in San Francisco from around 2005-2008 I would read business 2-3 growth books each week riding the BART train, but I still believed I could never actually quit my day job - that level of success was for other people... Between 2009 and 2012 I was lucky enough to land a handful of consulting clients - mostly lawyers. My background as VP of sales for Nolo.com afforded me with enough credibility and knowledge to provide SEO and web design services for this niche... I was making a whopping $6K per month! So around April of 2012 I said F*@K it and quit...(I actually got fired because I went to a friend's wedding on the east coast without telling my boss - sorry Andy!)... I was terrified! We had a 3 month old daughter and I had like $5K in the bank - this was our complete net worth! The only good news: there was no safety net. I learned and optimized Google Ads, figured out how to run one of the first ever webinar campaigns on Facebook Ads... I took 3-5 sales calls per day and enrolled 1-2 clients (thankfully these firms paid us 2-5K per month)... All the while I consistently invested in courses, coaching, events - anything to get better at marketing and business...

Cooking with Gas Now
I'm technical -- yeah, like electrical engineering changed to computer science solving technical and business problems for complex adaptive systems (like hospitals, health plans, SAAS companies, the U.S. federal government) kinda technical. I *love* talking details and solving problems. Which, by the way, is how I write my training material where I am passing along how NOT to be overly technical/pedantic for business-people (suits) whose eyes cross at the level of detail that entertains me. I've been working with Growthworks since November and have made GREAT strides clarifying my offer. But -- it totally and completely has lacked the "pizzaz" factor. Yesterday, I sat down and utilized GWAI. *Wow*, I couldn't believe how it took my words and intentions and punched the language up in a way that my brain JUST DOES NOT deliver. Letting the AI turn my details into marketing-friendly speech was AMAZING! So yesterday in about 3-4 hours total I got my roadmap messaging dramatically improved and communicating what I had been trying to communicate for not just months but 4 years! The Design got complete, the Lead Magnet for my chosen step, and I'm now working on my Authority Amplifier. Oh, yeah, and I reached out to several people for testimonials, and they all said yes. I know I haven't made any sales, and if this "client wins" category is only for sales, let me apologize now for clouding it up. In *my* world, this was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN because I knew what I was producing was crap and not marketable just from the language point of view. I cannot believe that the GWAI comes along with the GW offering and is SO AFFORDABLE!!!! I have four friends I am showing this to, with the hopes they will invest for themselves. Hope this inspires someone to move forward and get great results for themselves where they have been stuck. :) Thank you, @Aaron Fletcher, @Josh Clifford, @Penny Chohaili, @Jack Smith, @Tiffany DeRossett, and @Grace Escalicas. The team CONTINUES to delivery, inspire, and astound.
SKOOL over FB Groups or LinkedIn Groups?
Hey guys, I have a dilemma. my client has many facebook groups, some are pretty large (92k members for one, 23k for another, etc), but he has noticed that the reach for fb groups are dead. He wants to still maintain a community, but he doesn't know how to get to those people inside as the posts are hidden by FB's algorithm. I have experienced SKOOL indirectly through a few of you, but I wanted to hear from you what your thoughts are of SKOOL vs any other alternatives, including fb, linkedin and the new beta GHL communities. I also really doubt that FB is the destination that it once was -- constant bombardment of ads have destroyed a lot of the user experience that was there 10 years ago. What do you like or don't like about SKOOL as a platform, and how does it compare with the other options?

I prefer to talk about features-based comparisons with Facebook and Skool, comparing the interactions directly between the Growthworks Skool communities and the Growthworks Facebook group. These are things your client should think about, because depending on how he uses the community there may be some culture shock. Skool: 1. Con -- the content is more challenging to engage with. In GW, there are several pinned posts that stay at the top, so it requires the user to scroll past that content in order to engage in discussion threads. 2. Pro -- the organization of classroom and events is excellent, as is the member feature and the gamification for people who enjoy that 3. Con -- No hashtag/tagging capability, so creating a recurring theme requires having a separate "post type" 4. Pro -- The ability to "watch" a particular thread (or auto-watch any thread you like) is useful 5. Con -- It's not possible to search for the posts from a particular user (at least, not that I've found) 6. Pro -- The choice on how often to be notified of content is great Facebook: 1. Pro -- random engagement with new people and new topics is extraordinarily easy 2. Con -- it's not private, and it can be challenging to find what you're looking for 3. Pro -- People from the Skool community can go back to the Facebook group to get more visibility/random engagement on their topic with less effort 4. Con -- Facebook can close your group anytime they want to, with no warning, and there is no recourse (this is the KING of a cons, and overrides almost any pro you could ever have in Facebook) One of the tactics Aaron and team implemented (at least, I heard this was happening, I didn't verify it) is that they only kept their GENERAL Facebook page open, they closed the program-specific Facebook pages, and moved us over here to Skool. As you can see, I like a lot of the Skool features. But when I want to chat or ask questions of the general group, I typically head over to the Facebook page because I find a post there gets ~ 5x the interaction than those here.
