Current VIP members are calling this opportunity a "no-brainer" and I can't say they are wrong! With opportunities for enhanced visibility, cross-promotion, collaboration, and relationship building, the CLASSIFIEDS VIP cohort is the best way to start moving the needle in your business. Inside this short replay we hear from two current VIP members about their experience as well as all of the benefits of being a member, which I will also include in screen shots below. This is by application only, and the deadline to apply is tomorrow (Tuesday) at midnight EST. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via DM or in the comments below. Several of the VIP members @Katya McEwen @Faith Adebayo and @Sybil Hall have also made themselves available to answer questions if you like.

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

Right now, we have 14 amazing people in round one of our VIP tier. They have brought their amazing success and experience from outside of Skool and are helping each other through collaborations, cross-promotions, advice, and encouragement as they each build amazingly successful Skool communities. If this sounds like something you might want to be a part of (and it should!), I encourage you to attend the info session on Monday where I will provide you with more information and answer any questions that you have. The VIP experience is by application only and not all applications are accepted. Members are chosen based on their ability to contribute as well as benefit and their "fit" with the group. I hope to see you Monday. Applications close Tuesday at midnight EST.

I recently took my 6-year-old son to the library where they have a huge LEGO table. Without really thinking about it, I started building a model of my home studio. At first it felt ridiculous. Then I realised it was basically the same process as designing the real room: - testing layouts - moving things around - solving workflow problems - figuring out where clutter collects - trying to create a space that actually makes you want to create Once Freddy noticed what I was building, he immediately joined in: “We need the yellow carpet, Dad…” And suddenly we were discussing studio lighting, storage, sound and creative workflow while also building laser cannons onto a dragon. A lot of home studio advice online jumps straight to expensive gear, but honestly the room itself matters more than people admit. Sometimes creativity starts with experimentation that looks slightly absurd from the outside. Sketches. Tape on floors. Cardboard mockups. Or LEGO. That mix of creativity, chaos, family life and building music spaces in imperfect real-world conditions is exactly the kind of thing I’m exploring inside Room to Record. Room to Record is a community for musicians, creators, and curious humans who want to build a space that actually helps them create. This is not about building the perfect studio. It’s about making the most of the room you already have. A spare room, garage, corner desk, or half-finished setup surrounded by cables, distractions, pets, work, and life.

There has been an absolutely incredible VIP Collaboration Group meeting quietly meeting behind the scenes, and now is your chance to join in! It's clear that some members are ready for more than visibility alone. You want deeper collaboration, stronger relationships, and real opportunities to grow alongside other committed Skool community owners. That’s why, in February, I started a VIP Tier of the Classifieds, designed for members who want to be more actively involved in collaboration, cross-promotion, and shared problem-solving, not just posting and hoping for the best. 𝗔𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽. This is a small, curated peer group (limited to 15-20 people) for Skool community owners who are ready to: • Increase visibility in intentional, aligned ways • Collaborate and cross-promote with other group owners • Learn from real, lived experience (what’s actually working, not theory) • Solve problems together and build momentum as a group This is not a coaching program or a traditional mastermind, it's a facilitated, peer-based environment where contribution, participation, and follow-through matter. What’s Included in the VIP Tier? In addition to access to the Collaboration Action Group, VIP members receive: • 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗲 - Especially helpful for owners with more than one community or offer. • 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵- A consistent opportunity to teach, share your expertise, and be discovered by new people. • 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽-𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 (the WATER COOLER) - A great way to increase visibility, awareness, and authority by leading connection and conversation in the group. • 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - VIP members may be invited to be interviewed on a new YouTube channel I’m launching in the fall, building on my experience hosting a top-rated podcast. The purpose is to highlight Skool community creators who are building something meaningful and are open to sharing what they’ve learned along the way.
