it's Monday. and today is about working smarter, not harder. the real version, not the poster. === my spirit animal is Ari Meisel. do you know his story? 2006. he's 23. running a construction business, working 12 hours a day. then he's diagnosed with Crohn's disease. suddenly his body gives him 1 hour of work a day. not 12. ONE. most people would close the business. he didn't. he optimized. he automated. he outsourced. he cut everything that didn't need him. and kept the business running on what was left. he got so good at it that it became the business. books (i read them). courses (i took a few). and today he coaches entrepreneurs. asynchronously. no calendar stacked with calls. business coach. entrepreneur. productivity geek. very much like me 😜 === i'm not anywhere near where Ari is. in terms of his fees, his brand awareness, his audience. but i learn from him every chance i get. i'm in his group. i listen to his podcast. i'm in his circle. and one day i want him on my podcast (girl has dreams) everything i build starts from his question: - what if i only had 1 hour today? that's why i use AI to help me build processes that's why i push one main offer that's why i believe in community model === so here's the question i have for you this week: - if you only had 1 hour a day, which part of your business would survive?

November is the last real month to get LOTs of people in. because it's the real month, before... it's Black Friday then Christmas hustle. so it's now, or it's 2027. if "now" feels better than 2027, read further ⬇️ starting 15 November, we're running a 10-day sprint: your first/ next 100 members. - one move a day. - one check-in thread. - done by 25 November. with a LOOOOOT of help from me. it's open from Level 3.... go and check your level. Level 3 is 20 likes on you post or comment - so so easy to get in a day or two. need help? post it below and we'll help you to get there. === if you join the Sprint: - you get the Night Agent - an AI agent helping you while i am asleep (you can start using today). once the sprint is over, it will only be available to Premium/VIP members. - bunch of others reaching the same goal - daily accountability with me === 💥 this is for you if you want more people in your community before the year ends. in? drop your 100-member goal in the comments and like 3 others while you're there. that's how you get to Level 3 ⬇️ ps help each other to reach level 3. it's just 20 points....c'mon!!! let's do it

Just getting ready to launch my Founder's community and wanted insight on using the default Skool tour video. Any thoughts or best practices?

you don't need more information. you need someone to look at your community and tell you what to fix. that's the whole clinic. no slides, no frameworks, no summit replays you'll never open. you bring your community, i ask how can i help, and i tell you what i'd actually do. but there is more: - 6 amazing experts/speakers joining me for a daily roundtable discussions (to be revealed shortly) - 3 successful case studies to help you see a real life examples - bunch of other Skoolers sharing their struggles here's what one conversation did for Eugene - he just posted yesterday after our call only 2 days ago: "I made changes to my community and already got 4 members since we've talked. Awesome and thank you 😊" check the calendar. come to as many sessions as you can. for sure come for the hot seats. that's where your community gets fixed. and there are prizes from our sponsor - Community Income Mastermind 😎 anyone who joins live or take a REAL part in the CC 2.0 - you're in the draw for $497 annual subscription. i'll draw the winner at the Monday debrief. everyone else who shows up and takes part gets an ASYNC audit of their community from me. it's all FREE. the recordings are FREE until 1 October. check the Calendar and check in. ps who is coming?

yes, it's that time again. Skool News is out. and i have a controversial opinion about it (always). in this Skool News issue, they talk about "creator burnout" and "content treadmill". both are true. but they do not apply if you are NOT a content creator, but a business owner. here is what they are saying: - outsource growth to Skool - focus on delivery only sounds very attractive, right? spoiler alert - no, it does not. if you are a business owner, and you outsource smth to an external party, you want "a bulletproof service contract with clear performance metrics" (not me, Gemini said this). what does it mean? - "Clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Define exactly what success looks like. Include specific deadlines, quality standards, and response times so there is no ambiguity." now, tell me, do we have this with Skool GB? well, i will answer that - no: - no control - no clear deadlines - no expected standards all we are asked for is TRUST US TO DO IT RIGHT. well, you can do it - you can trust them to do it right. i don't. and here is the REAL PROBLEM: - they said "it is working for a bunch of people". cool. what bunch? give me real numbers, please! - i can't outsource smth, if i don't have any control over how it actually works for ME. it is not the way to do business. and i am a business owner, not content creator. - and then, they are saying "continue to create content and drive traffic". what?! why? wait? didn't you just said i will end up with creator burnout?! final point. difficult to digest. remember how they said that "only 5.0 rating is not good for a community"? hm, i wonder if the same applies to their own feature. so far, they never mentioned a SINGLE bad thing about GB in the news. that just sucks. to me. - never acknowledged people's concerned - never mentioned what does not work - never said anything bad about it so, i am sorry to say what Stanislavski used to say "I don't believe you". but, it's just me.
