I want to make sure I get the chance to celebrate YOU on your special day! 🥳 Birthdays are a big deal to me, and I never want to miss an opportunity to make someone feel loved and appreciated. So, send me a quick DM with your birthday (just the month and day)! 🎈 No birth year needed. I promise I'm not trying to count your candles! 😂 I just want to make sure that when your day rolls around, you know someone is thinking of you! 💕🎉

@Virgel Nel surprised us by creating a magazine cover for Skoolology. So, of course, I had to return the favor. 😂 But while I was creating his, something interesting happened. I realized a magazine cover is actually a pretty good branding test. You don't have much room to explain yourself. You have to communicate quickly: 💙 Who is this for? 💙 What do they care about? 💙 What do you want to be known for? 💙 What should this community feel like? And here's the part that really got me thinking. Virgel had to decide what stood out about Skoolology. I had to decide what stood out about Singular Vision. That's different from writing your own About page. Your brand isn't only what you say about yourself. It's also what people have come to associate with you. So here's a little experiment if you want to play with us. Upload a photo of yourself, your community name, and your community description to ChatGPT and give it this prompt: Create a magazine cover for my community using the photo and information I've provided. Treat the cover as a branding exercise. Capture who the community is for, what they care about, the change they want, and the personality of the community. Make it look like a real lifestyle or business magazine, with a strong masthead, feature headlines, smaller cover lines, and visual details that reinforce the brand. Don't just repeat my description. Interpret what this community should feel like to the right person. Then don't just look at whether you like the design. Look at what it reflects back to you. 💚 Does this feel like us? 💚 What did it pick up that we're communicating clearly? 💚 What did it get wrong or overemphasize? 💚 What's missing that you thought was obvious? And maybe the biggest question: 💚💙 If someone else created your magazine cover based on what you're putting into the world right now, would it match what you want to be known for? If you try it, bring your cover back here. But also tell us what you noticed. 🐼

We're putting the finishing touches on "The Skool Launch Blueprint" course, and one part of it is a 29-page workbook that walks you through writing your About page using our C.L.A.R.I.T.Y framework. What makes this workbook different is that it works two ways: you can print it out and fill it in by hand, or you can use it with AI. You can print it out or if you want to see what AI can create for you, just download the PDF, upload it to your AI tool, and enter one of the prompts below based on which tool you're using. --- Claude- I am uploading a PDF workbook called the CLARITY About Page Workbook. Read every page completely before responding. Confirm you read it by telling me the name of the framework and how many sections it contains. Then immediately run the Master Memory Search prompt from the Start Here page without waiting for me. After I confirm my memory summary automatically move through each CLARITY section in order. After presenting options in each section pause and wait for me to choose or say next before proceeding. If you lose track of where we are tell me and I will remind you. ChatGPT- I am uploading a PDF workbook called the CLARITY About Page Workbook. Read every single page carefully including all text boxes, prompt boxes, and tip boxes. Do not summarize. Confirm you read it by telling me the framework name and exactly how many lettered sections it contains. Then immediately run the Master Memory Search prompt from the Start Here page. Do not wait for me to ask. After I confirm my memory summary ask me for my brainstorm answers for Section C then run the Section C prompt. After I choose a version or say next move to Section L and repeat. Continue through all seven sections then run the Final Assembly prompt. Pause after each section and wait for my response before proceeding. Gemini/Other Tools- I am uploading a PDF workbook called the CLARITY About Page Workbook. Read the entire document carefully. Confirm you read it by telling me the name of the framework it teaches and how many lettered sections it contains. Then immediately run the Master Memory Search prompt from the Start Here page. After I confirm my memory summary tell me you are ready to begin Section C and wait for my brainstorm answers before running the Section C prompt. After each section ask me which version I am choosing before moving to the next section. If you are ever unsure what to do next tell me and I will give you the next instruction.

Yesss!
