Way back in 1983, my younger daughter's school was chosen as a key element in the filming of the MGM/UA production of the movie, A Christmas Story. My daughter was picked as an extra. All but about a half-second of her appearance in the playground as the bell rings after the infamous flag pole scene was cut from the final edit. The movie is still good, a funny, irreverent, holiday-themed romp, worth watching. The official trailer is linked below. https://youtu.be/cfjEZ88NHBw?si=MMTsDNm806MqkFaJ

While tiers are an amazing recent addition to skool communities, the classroom structure is still pretty pedestrian. Inside our skool cafeteria community classroom, I have introduced a new color-coded system that can make learning easier, clearer, and more enjoyable. Each section is designed with a specific purpose, and the colors help members understand where they are and what they have access to at a glance. If you have not already looked at our classroom now is a good time to check it out. If you have seen it before you might find the recent updates worthy of note. Here is how the system works: 🔹 Brick Red: representing the skool building itself. – Public Access for everyone. 🔹 Dark Yellow: representing the skool bus bringing student to the classroom, – Standard Member content focused on quick wins and early momentum. 🔹 Dark Green: representing chalk boards in many modern skools. – Premium Member resources for deeper growth and structured progress. 🔹 Dark Blue: representing our skool uniform colors, along with white. – Buy-Now courses, digital content products, services and mentoring available to all members. Each section includes a “Getting Started Right” orientation to guide you smoothly. The first one includes overview information and an FAQ (Q&A) section. This new layout creates a simple, supportive learning environment where you can focus on your goals without feeling lost or overwhelmed. Questions or comments are welcome.

I keep getting pitched to attend, to watch, to participate in, a once-in-a-lifetime, you-can't-afford-to-miss-it, millionaire-action-plan webinar with messages including phrases like these or others similar: 👉 High-impact, deep-dive session or the opposite, 👉 Relaxed, easy-going conversation 80% or more (that is 4 out of 5, folks) of the few I do attend end up being nothing more than ego-fests telling me how great the presenter is, or fluff-and-stuff nothing-burgers, all leading to a sales pitch for their just-discovered, guaranteed blueprint to 6- or 7-figure success. One even said 8-figure; did they even know what that is? I am seeing so many current marketers slipping into the gilded days of Madison Avenue BS and hype. Is some misguided guru actually teaching this? "Mad Men" is a critically acclaimed television drama set in the 1960s, not a marketing success plan for 2026! Forget the hype. Forget the memes. Forget the bull. Say what you mean and deliver on what you say. Then over deliver. Watch success happen. Going back to first principles is never a bad idea. Horton had it right!
