happy Saturday! today i'm going a little hard on you. ⚠️ fair warning: this might feel triggering. but please know — my only goal is to help you grow. let's start with some hard questions: - do you want to charge money for your community? yes or no - are you a member of any paid communities? if yes — how many? how much are you paying? - if no — why do you think people will pay you, when you're not ready to pay anyone else? - when you post in your community or in others, how many comments do you expect? 3? 5? 10? more? now flip it. - how many comments do you leave every day on other people's posts in other communities? and finally — do you show up? - like, when you joined this hackathon, did you actually go through all 30 lessons? doing the work. leaving the comments. supporting your accountability buddy. did you show up on any of the calls? yes? no? partly? - now ask yourself — do you expect your community members to go through your lessons, comment their answers, show up on your calls? i am not here to blame you. i am here to help you progress!!! if you want to be a leader — a community owner — you must lead by example. not just inside your own community. everywhere. - you must show up, if you want others to show up. - you must stay consistent, if you want others to be consistent. - you must pay, if you want others to pay. it's not just about gaining trust, visibility, and results (though you will). it's also about learning what it actually takes to be on the other side. because things that feel easy to you in one area? they might be incredibly hard for someone else in that same area. and you won't truly understand that until you get in their shoes. so today, let's get real honest here, and ask ourselves: am i doing the things i'm asking my people to do? ⬇️

Checkpoint 1 of 10 — You're at the starting line. You've heard of a pub crawl. This is the version where you discover 9 incredible women-only communities over the weekend — learn something, meet someone, have some fun. Here's how it works: 👉 Visit each checkpoint community 👉 Drop an answer to the host's question in the comments 👉 Grab the link to the next stop at the bottom of each post 👉 Hit all 10 checkpoints = you'll get the swag bag of presents The swag bag is stacked with freebies from the hosts. You don't want to miss it. This community — the 30-Day Skool Hackathon — is where coaches, experts & online educators come to build their Skool community from zero to 100 members in 30 days. Your question for Checkpoint 1: - Are you currently running a Skool community, thinking about starting one, or just Skool-curious? Drop your answer below and head to the next stop! Checkpoint 2 → The Burnout Edit by Mel Sheffield ---- HERE are all the participants: @Mel Sheffield @Kathy Fluch @Minoo Shinde @Nadia Quraishi @Jennifer Juniper @Jennifer Maillet @Susan Wisnewski @Carli B Shabazz

Few things, really. One - it is amazing, and people need this. Two - you will get more folks like you, to help you grow your community. Third - most important - we'll have a celebration 🎉 I will give away something really valuable to everyone who is active (already working on it... announcement coming today, obviously). So, you have two option: - sit and wait for it to happen (inevitable, duh) - go and invite a friend to join (and if they buy paid product, you get paid too) So, red pill or blue pill- Which one are you?

Yes, I am that crazy person who cannot stop thinking about this Hackathon and how to improve it even while I sleep 😴 Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night with the idea of how to make it even better than before 🤩 At least the first part. And I cannot unsee it. So, don't be surprised -- I will reshuffle some of the lessons/days and will add one that I think will improve the experience. I will re-record some of the lesson (the sound quality was bad because too many tabs were opened on Chrome). Bear with me - I will do that today and will let you know once I am done. BTW How's everyone doing? 👇🏻

We just hit 100 members in 13 days 🎉 This is way more than I expected. I am beyond grateful. I want to celebrate this with you and give something back. So, I am throwing a celebration party - a bonus Q&A call on Sunday, 15 March at 20:00 Jerusalem/ 18:00 UK time/ 14:00 New York. Please put on your calendar !!! Live only (no recording). Zoom (sorry, don't trust Skool yet). PS Bring your fav drink to celebrate 🍾
