Skool is such a special place because of the people and the communities on this platform. So let's give our flowers while people can still smell them. 💐 Drop a comment: 1. Tag a person or community on Skool that has positively impacted you. (or a few!) 2. Then share HOW they helped, changed your thinking, encouraged you to be better, etc. 3. Respond to 3 people who tagged the same communities/people you respect too. Spread love! Winner: The member who spreads the most genuine love (most thoughtful responses) gets a free 1-on-1 Skool strategy call with me. Only available to Premium/VIP members starting next week. Go! 👇

I don't talk about this much publicly. But if we're going to build something real together, you deserve to know who I am beyond the Forbes list and the Y-Combinator badge. I want to get personal for a second. This is Zara. My daughter. She came into this world this February, 23 days early, and she spent over 50 days in the NICU fighting battles most people will never understand. My wife and I lived in that hospital. Sleepless nights. Not knowing what was wrong. Watching monitors. Accelerated heart rates. Desaturation events. Alarms going off at 3am. It was one of the scariest experiences of our lives. After a long journey, we finally found out she has a rare condition called Silver-Russell Syndrome. It affects her growth, her feeding, development, and more unforeseens that will unfold with time. The first few months of her life were filled with uncertainty, fear, and a lot of prayers. I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because it changed everything for me. Before Zara, I was building because I wanted success. After Zara, I'm building because I have to. For her. For my wife. For the life I want to give them. 50+ days in the NICU taught me that tomorrow isn't promised. That the things we put off "until we're ready" might never happen if we keep waiting. That the best time to build the life you want is right now. She's home now. Growing. Fighting. Beating the odds. And every morning I wake up and see her face, I remember why none of this is optional for me. So when I say I want you to win, I mean it. Because I know what it feels like to need to win. Not for ego. Not for clout. Not for likes. Not for followers. For the people sitting at the table with you. For the ones who won't eat if you don't figure this out. For the people who believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself. For the ones counting on you to become who you said you'd be. What about you? What's your why? The real one. Not the surface-level answer. The one that keeps you up at night. The one that makes quitting impossible.

Why the delay? Because we are now TOP #15 in our category and TOP #50 OVERALL!!! 🚀 *Also because I'm a perfectionist and I'm adding a few surprises that I think you're going to love. Here's what you do need to know: This course is DENSE. It's not regurgitated BS. This is 8+ years of building, failing, scaling, and doing it again. $70M+ in GMV across 5+ companies. Several still running today. Forbes 30 Under 30. Y Combinator Hacks. All of it. Every module, every framework, every script; it's all birthed from real failures and real wins. BUT HERE'S THE THING: Don't just copy me. Take this. Improve it. Maximize it. Make it yours. I'm giving you the blueprint. You build your empire. You create what fits within your Strike Zone. 🔥🔥 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SKOOL OWNERS:🔥🔥 I have something BIG dropping for you all as well that I'll announce next week. If you run a Skool community (or plan to), you're going to want to pay close attention. This will change how you grow. Also, I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK. Don't hesitate to DM me all of it. Nice, mean, rude, honest. Send it all. As you go through this, tell me. What's working? What's confusing? What do you want more of? I'LL BE REAL: I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm stoked for what's about to happen in this community. But I also must be very transparent with you all. This is NOT for the faint of heart.This is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. Building a business is hard. Scaling it is even harder. But if you stick it through? It's all worth it. 📣📣 MOST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: 📣📣 Business Builders Club is officially going paid tomorrow. But here's the deal: If you're already in this community, you NEVER have to upgrade. No one will force you to. You're grandfathered in for life. That said, the real value — the real winners — will be in the paid tiers. That's where we're going deep. That's where the transformations will happen and wealth will be made. Tomorrow, I'm announcing prices, and I promise you, I've made this super affordable for everyone.

Happy New Year! 2026 is here. Let's set the tone. 🎉 I believe words are the most powerful thing under the sun. What you declare out loud carries weight. It change show you move. It changes what you attract. What you speak out loud becomes real, truly. There's a reason we say vows out loud. There's a reason "I will" hits different than "I'll try." Words aren't just sounds. They're seeds. So here's the challenge: Drop one declaration for 2026. Not a hope. Not a "maybe." A statement. Then say it loud. 🗣️ "I will ____________." And here's the second part: Scroll through the thread. Find someone whose declaration makes you feel something. Reply. Encourage them. Hype them up. If their words match yours, declare it together, speak life! Let's not just make this a thread. Let's make it a moment!!!! Build each other up. Fire each other up. Love on each other. This is how we start 2026. I'll go first: I will build a community that changes how people see what's possible. Your turn. Let's fill this thread with declarations. 🥂 P.S. Classroom goes live at 7PM PST 🛰️ 😎

Be honest. How many tabs do you have open right now? I caught myself with 27 tabs open yesterday. Twenty-seven. (I use groups often which helps keep things condensed but still, 27) Why This Matters: The average person has 10-20 tabs open at any given time. Heavy users? 50+. Some days I used to have so many tabs open that my chrome window was a wall of tiny rectangles. If you know, you know. And it's costing us more than we think. Research shows it takes an average of ~23 minutes to fully refocus after switching tasks. Every time you bounce between tabs, emails, Slack, and your phone, you're resetting that clock. Every single time. No wonder some days feel busy but unproductive. That's not multitasking at all, it's actually quite the opposite. I closed 20 tabs this morning. Kept 7. My brain feels lighter already. Classroom drops in two days. As we head into 2026, let's sharpen our focus together. 📚 How many tabs do you have open right now? Drop the number below. Lowest number wins bragging rights. Highest number wins our prayers. 😂 P.S Speaking of focus, I'm about to focus on all of these DM's now!
