Absolutely, high standards are powerful but they need the right structure behind them. I see a few ways you could turn this principle into a stronger member experience and engagement system inside Skool, happy to share what I’d change if you’re open to it.
A Robert Brandon analysis. Gratitude isn’t just a warm fuzzy feeling; it’s a language game with rules. It involves acknowledging a gift or benefit, recognizing the giver’s intention, and incurring a subtle normative commitment. This explores the structure of thankful engagement with the world.
Really interesting perspective, gratitude becomes much more powerful when we actually express and practice it, not just feel it. What’s one small way you’ve practiced gratitude recently? 👇
Skool owners, here's something I'd fix BEFORE trying to get more members. If your community has: Low member count Very little engagement No course/resource structure No calendar or regular activities then getting more people isn't necessarily the first move. Because imagine bringing 100 new members into the community... …and they arrive to: What do I do here? No clear starting point. No learning path. No upcoming activity. No reason to participate. No reason to come back tomorrow. That's not a traffic problem. That's a member journey problem. I'd build the journey first: JOIN → ORIENTATION → QUICK WIN → ENGAGEMENT → WEEKLY ACTIVITY → PROGRESS Then I'd build the course and calendar around that journey. You don't need a massive classroom. You don't need hundreds of members. You need your first members to say There's actually something happening here. Once you create that feeling, then scaling the community becomes much easier. This is one of the first things I'd look at when taking over a quiet Skool community.
