Here is a sample of a post I made on Synthetizer that has no thought leader rule: "Things to do while you're not making money 1. Keep improving your brand - Make sure your message is clear and people get what you're trying to sell. - Get better visuals, record a VSL, make content, landing pages. Worry about looking as professional as you can be with your digital assets. - Experiment, show your journey and build skills that you can demonstrate to people in the form of a portfolio - Constantly look for feedback at places where people give you feedback" The same post on Skolers: "The things I did before I started making money I spent 6 months hanging out here with 0 MRR despite working my ass off. Almost quit several times. But those are the things that I kept doing to eventually have things figured out. 1. I kept improving my brand - I looked for places where people could offer reviews on what I was building. My copies were initially very bad and my ideas too complicated for anyone to understand. I was fortunate enough to get some honest opinions on what I was doing wrong and eventually built something that people were excited to join. - I was constantly improving my profile, banner, description, about page copy and validating it with my members while making an effort to present myself in a more professional manner." Notice the difference? In one I present myself as an authority, on the other I just share my experience. Trying to fit the post on Skoolers mold actually makes it much better in my opinion. More wordy, but also more relatable and less pretentious. If you want to get feedback on your posts or overall things you create, join Roast & Promote.

And a lot of people are quiting because the reality is hitting them hard. If you want to make a real income on the internet, not just the occasional gig, you need to build a business. And building a business is hard. You need to build something that people are willing to buy and create a whole ecosystem to promote, deliver and support it. There is no shortcut for that. No platform, framework, trend, secred method or formula will keep you from doing the work that needs to be done. Technology just makes the operational parts easier, but you still need to build something that is worth buying and keep paying for. And a lot of people quit before they can figure out how to do that. But you know what Skool is great for? Not having to figure it out alone. Yes, you still need to put in all the work, but you can have places to get feedback to see your message is clear and if you're building something that is worth paying for. So you can correct your mistakes and improve faster. And you can also join co-working spaces where you can learn by watching others, be publicly accountable for what you're building or just get motivated by interacting with others who, just like you, are figuring stuff out. You don't need to build alone! And for that, Skool is the best place right now!

The App is called Roasty Flow, a Chrome extention that will be avaiable for evey member of Guruless Business Builders. I'm building in public and a lot of people like @Adam McCollough @Nick Nebelsky and @Des Dreckett are excited about it. So this group is a place where you can join, talk about what you're building and if you feel stuck we will try to figure out how to get you moving with actionable next steps and a structured plan. All in a round table talk, without pushing you universal frameworks, but instead listening to your unique situation, be it live or on posts you make. Roasty Flow is the app that will allow you to stay focused on the plan. It registers all of your goals and break those goals into daily tasks. So it's an app + community experience. What is special about that? The tasks can be linked to a URL domain related to the pages you're need to access and tracked by the app, so you can check if you're really focused on completing them or if you got distracted by seing other stuff, being a great self accountability tool for ADHD business owners who get distracted online, where our business is. The tracking happens locally (only on your computer) and only starts after you activate a focus session, that can also be optimized with a pomodoro counter, so you remember to take necessary breaks from the screen and come back refreshed. The app also has a fun unified metric called the Flame Score that calculates a percentage on how focused you were today and a dashboard that tracks how focused you were on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. You also get a capture feature for taking notes, screenshots, writing sales scripts, making drafts, all without leaving your current window and with a useful search feuture so you don't get lost. That way your browsing becomes more active and less passive, as each section can be used to generate assets that you can easily find and share later.

Three days ago I started How I from zero.
