Hi, I'm from Orlando, and my skool is for 3D print addicts to talk shop and use one another to grow in their craft. This is not a cheap hobby, as a pro designer I learned long ago to get it right, keep it cheap with pragmatic thinking. I'd like to share that. My people are so varied in backgrounds, all with a common filament addiction so there is potential to really be a fun group. I just want to give them and myself some nerdy cohorts so they don't 3D print alone! 🦄 Favorite color? Grey/Green - 🌈 Favorite Pokemon? Snorlax - 🐛 Ur current skool challenge? My skool is for design hermits cranking at their 3D printers and iI find it a challenge to motivate them to interact.

@Jason Scott that’s my thinking too. We just all have different fun in mind but you’re right. People need the reason to be involved. There are plenty of do this and you’ll be a zillionaire skools on 3d printing. My goal is not that. So it’s been a struggle to nail into value. I’m not looking for a stage to pontificate. We all got varied struggles and goals. My skool should be the cool clubhouse for free, show off your work, bs and network, and jump into freemlum for some targeted content which are more like Ted talks than 12 steps to follow. Am I tracking a good flow here? Open to ideas.

@Jason Scott yes. I know it’s what many people are here for. It pains me actually. I’ve met a few ‘experts’ who make sites and identities to make money using skool and become snake oil salesmen. It degrades the theme and sours users. I want authentic. I really am concerned that I can deliver something to my community worth the money I request. I’m confidant as the captain but need a good cruise leader. Is that a skool thing, can we get those folks?

I’m afraid of burning out 😩 🚭

Push or rest? ❓ How do u balance work/life “balance”? ❓ Or there “is no balance” just keep grinding ❓❓

All depends, I push on the fun things, pause on the harder ones. Better for me to have my goals written, something I can check off to make sure each day is a move forward. Keeping things digital is too wild for me. Its good to back up, reframe, see what you have to do, and then move smart. Or you rush and get overwhelmed and check nothing off.

Do Weekends Even Exist for Entrepreneurs? 🤔

Honest question for entrepreneurs: Do you work on weekends or do you fully switch off? I personally work weekends. I don’t really see a difference between Saturday and Monday. Curious how others here approach it 👇
