everyone celebrates wins. wins are good. we want them. but the road to success is paved with failures, many, many, of them. so, we are here normalizing failures. no. we are not just normalizing, we are celebrating them. what is failure? FAILURE is an action - something you did - and the result was not what you expected/wanted to be. Capiche? we are NOT: - celebrating procrastination - celebrating waiting for someone or smth to save us with that... what's your FAILURE from last week that you should celebrate - and we can celebrate together? as always, i will start

i can't believe it's Wed again. oh, well. it is. so, the Skool News are out. and here is the good, the bad and the ugly about it. let's get started. === the good: - Skool is working on Live Calls v2 - great improvements are under way: better quality, stability, performance, chat, etc. it's great news. let's see when it's out - i would love to use Skool live calls more - hopefully, it increases events attendance + group activity. - more payment methods are coming - also good. some ppl like to pay PayPal or smth else, not the credit card. so, hopefully, increases conversion/decreases resistance to paid. - Global search and Global Calendar are in process. both are great features. let's hope they come soon. Growth Boost UPDATE - for those who use it - v2 should be out this week. with this version: - ads are dynamic - so, if you change cover image, pricing, whatever, changes are reflected in the ads within 1 hour (very ambitious goal) - you should get a dedicated campaign with 10 images if you have 100 clicks and 1 paid sign-up over the last 30 days. this looks realistic. - partnership ads have a dedicated tab in your settings - GROWTH - you can see if you are eligible or not. still no transparency about YOUR efficiency score vs what score you must have, cause they say it will make you focus on the wrong thing 🤔 no comment === the bad: - they keep saying that they spend $5k per day on some campaigns. promises, promises, promises... no clarity for how many ppl? who are those ppl? what are their efficiency score? what's our efficiency scores? so, again, it's a BLACK BOX situation. === the ugly (truth): - Skool of the week... i usually don't watch - cause it's often "survivorship bias" or "lottery winners". both have no significance or learnings to my business or yours. but i did this time. and surprise-surprise , the first Skool of the week is Dr. Izzy Sealey, "who is making $4,419 MRR and it's only a few weeks old group - very new" - how cool is that 🤩 ?!

I haven't been showing on discovery since I disabled GB. But they were lying saying that my positions just dropped. At least now they're being honest.

today is the last day to join Community Income Mastermind. doors close tomorrow when i wake up/start working (around 10am Jerusalem time). why i close doors? cause i want to give my undivided attention to those who are committed. before they do, i'm answering the three questions i get every single time. video's below if you'd rather watch. 1. "i haven't made any money yet. should i invest?" imagine you are opening a restaurant. you pay a year of rent, the design, the branding, the ads, the staff, the menu. all before one customer walks in. you invest first. you recover it after you open. "i must start earning before i start investing is the wrong premise" those are the rules of the game in real life, not in the dream land some gurus sell. 2. "i've bought programs/hired coaches before and got nothing." me too. programs with multiple zeros. zero results=cash. was it for nothing? no. i learned something. it was just expensive lessons, with a very low return. and also, i was not ready. i did not put my all. so, it is not just on them, it is on me as well. the program was not for me. the time was not right... so why is this one different? me. i care whether you get results. i limit how many people i take in. and this month i'm adding 1:1 accountability — monthly 1:1, weekly checking, and implementation calls after every workshop. i am not happy with reducing the price, get paid more, but less ppl results (10%). i want to keep the price, more ppl get results. i am moving towards the higher end - less people, better results first, but then more people, more results. 3. "can you guarantee results?" yes. if you keep showing up and doing the work. it's a two-way street. when members show up, i show up. when they need help, they get it. ask anyone in CIM. but a second guarantee: it takes 6- 12 months. hence, there's an annual plan. annual is $497. it's the commitment, and it's the one i'd pick. cause i am promising you get $5k per month. pretty good ROI.

day 2 was about engagement. and the first thing i said on the call was that i don't like the word 🙃 by the end of the day nobody had found a better one, but we all agreed on the part that matters: - engagement for the sake of engagement is busy work. - you want people talking because it moves them somewhere. - otherwise it's just gif wars with extra steps. and after yesterday's chaos, today actually went as planned and a really cool teamwork. thanks to @Paulo Costa, The Roaster for letting us pick apart how Roast & Promote gets 78% of members posting, commenting and participating. huge thanks to @Éva Raposa and @Shannon Boyer for this important and meaningful roundtable discussion that was way more honest and substantial than most paid courses on this topic. 🎥 NOW THE RECAP all recordings are in the Classroom (available to everyone till 1 October, only to Premium & VIP after that) with summaries and time codes (still think this deserves a like): - case study with Paulo - roundtable with Eva and Shannon - hot seats recording ♨️ THE HOT SEATS still i believe one of the most useful part of the clinic. and another round of applause for the brave ones: @Sandra Martinez @Vladimir Belokapov @Kate DuBois @Nikesh Amit plus @Diana Frank who jumped in with the story of a tiny spin-off that outsold her main community in 3 days. you can find links to their communities in the class. 🏆 THE PRIZES thanks to our lovely sponsor - Community Income Mastermind - community for Skool community builders ready to go from free to profitable, we have our grand prize - annual membership ($497) to be awarded to just 1 person via name lottery among all active participants.
