TRIGGER WARNING Before you worry about me, I am not going anywhere, but sadly many men hit a stage where life feels like an uphill struggle where they are unable to speak openly and honestly, bottling in all up until their can't do it anymore. That's why Men Forge Forward exists. I have been that man, teetering on the edge of life and death after years saving others as a paramedic. When my health went over a cliff edge, I lost my sense of identity and purpose, and the downward spiral was real. Thankfully, I found a place at the right time, and those conversations saved me. Literally. Now, I am on a mission to help over 1,000 men in the next year to have that kind of space too. A place they can be honest without fear of judgement. A place where they don't have to suffer toxic masculinity and the "pull yourself together" approach. A place where friendships are formed, coaching is accessible, and a path forward made possible. You don’t need to be in crisis to enter the forge, and your contribution can make a huge difference to someone else, even without realising it. So, if you are a man, and you have read this far, join us today and start the 30-day challenge for free. Together, we can all forge forward.

If you’re a newer entrepreneur (2 years or less), here’s something I've learned and shifted in my journey: 👉 Goodwill is one of your best forms of currency. Early on, the fastest way to grow isn’t asking louder — it’s giving more. Ways to give (that actually matter): - 📚 Share helpful content or insights - 👍 Engage with others’ posts consistently - 🔁 Make referrals without expecting one back - ⭐ Leave thoughtful reviews - 🤝 Make introductions - 💬 Offer encouragement or honest feedback - ⏱️ Give your time or attention when you can When you lead with value, trust compounds. 📌 Simple rule to live by: If you want to ask for more…👉 Give 3× more first. That’s how relationships are built. That’s how reputations are formed. That’s how long-term businesses are grown. Let's start Doing Business Right! DBR POLL: What is your most common way of giving to others?

I have the amazing opportunity to announce that @Mimi Ramsey has agreed to join us all the way from Bali, so we now pretty much have 24/7 moderator support for this amazing community. Mimi is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to building communities that are full of personality and that represent your unique uniqueness! I'm really excited that she has agree to join the team, and I can't wait to have her present her own masterclass for you all. In addition, I want to sincerely thank @Mona Weathers for all of her work as the first CLASSIFIEDS moderator. She believed in this group from day one, championed it, and helped me build it into what it is today! Mona has had such incredible success in her own community that she has had to step down as moderator here so that she can support her own members fully, but she is still here, and you will still see her around. 😊 As you already know, @Faith Adebayo recently joined the moderator team and has been doing an incredible job supporting everyone in the comments and most especially bringing us very valuable information through her masterclass about how to increase our visibility through our CLASSIFIEDS posts! Faith will continue to work with me and Mimi as we have now grown to a team of 3!!! Please help me congratulate the effervescent @Mimi Ramsey on her new role!

Every week we like to sing the praises of others on Skool who are doing amazing things. This is the place to do it! Please share the community, a description of what makes it awesome, a link, and a mention of the owner. Tag the owner if they are already in the CLASSIFIEDS or send them a DM and let them know you mentioned them here. I promise you will make their day. This is the only place where affiliate links are okay. 😊

The posting party was a ton of fun, and now we're going to continue the fun with a Classroom Ad Sprint. If you are a premium member, you have the opportunity to promote yourself in an "ad" in the classroom. Some of you have already taken advantage of this, but many of you haven't and I have a feeling it's either because it's been pushed down your to-do list, or you just aren't too sure what to put in it. So we're going to solve both of those problems. The lovely @Sondra Verva has been kind enough to create an amazing custom GPT to guide us along on the creation process. So whether you have an ad in the classroom or not, you might want to play along as a way of improving what you already have. I know that's what I'll be doing. My ad is not a great example right now!!! The sprint will be 6 days long with a new prompt posted in the community each day. You need to be a premium member to participate in this one and the goal is at least 100 ads in the classroom by the end of the week! 🌟 Are you ready for this one? It's going to be epic! Post your best "Let's Get It Done" gif below if you are in. 😉
