This is so VERY important I'm just copying and pasting this... Sam Ovens taught this framework. It fixes the #1 mistake most Skool builders make. Most people start with their passion, then try to find members. And it's the wrong order. Here's the right way: 1. Market — Pick who you want to serve first. Not what you want to teach. Who. 2. Problem — Find what they're already struggling with. Don't invent problems. 3. Solution — Build a community that helps them faster or better. 4. Passion — Check if you actually enjoy serving this group long-term. Most people do: Passion → Solution → Market → Problem. That's why they can't grow. The right order is: Market → Problem → Solution → Passion. When you pick your market first, everything becomes clearer. You're not guessing what to build. You're solving what they need. Direction matters more than speed. You can build all day with the wrong niche and get nowhere. Are you following this order?

Inquiring minds need to know...

I sort of knew about the flame for a while because I had joined the Skoolers community a long time ago and had seen the guide on the side of that group - but really didn't know what was required to get and keep the flame. Here is the long and short of it - the flame means you have made 10 interactions every day for 30 days in Skool - doesn't matter where (as in any specific community) you just need to like at least 10 posts - you can comment, post (everyone is welcome to create posts in this community - start conversations, ask questions, ask for others to support what you're doing! - this is OUR community - not MY community). You can check your progress toward getting the flame by clicking on your icon in the upper right-hand corner and going to your profile there will be a chart of boxes - you want them to be a wall of green. I'm sharing this with you because as you will see in the image I'm attaching, I was really close but missed a day because I just didn't know! Light green means 5 interactions - it is really easy to hit like on 10 comments a day - but as we all know once you get over here and start liking, then you end up commenting, and posting and the addiction cycle has started 🤣😱 Have you got your flame yet? Now that you know how to get and keep it are you inspired to go for it?

I created a short video where I explain it. My house has a million windows and pictures and after recording this several times I settled on this one.
