We’ve grown plants. We’ve designed islands. Now we’re hitting the trail! 🌲🥾 Welcome to Level Up to the Ridge — our end-of-summer community challenge. Everyone starts with an empty backpack. 🎒 Drop a backpack emoji (or GIF) 🎒 below in the comments! Then help your fellow community members get ready for the climb by adding: 🥾 Boots — to build a strong foundation 🔦 Flashlight — for clarity on the path ahead ⛺ Tent — a place to regroup and recharge 💧 Water — to fuel their momentum 🪢 Rope — support so they never climb alone See someone on the trail? Reply to their backpack and add something they need for the hike. The more people you support, the more support comes back your way. And remember, every time you level up in the community, you unlock new resources, opportunities and exclusive perks. 🎒 Drop your backpack below and let’s see how many of us can make it to the ridge before summer ends! 🏔️🙌

One of the things I teach in my book Click To Cash is to pre-sell your idea before you spend all that time creating it. I learned this one from experience. I used to get an idea, get excited, create the whole thing and THEN try to sell it. And sometimes nobody wanted it. I had to learn to stop creating what I thought people wanted and start finding out what they would actually pay for. So before you create that class, workshop, ebook or whatever idea you have, TEST IT! Tell people what you want to create. Tell them what it will help them do. Tell them the price. And see if anybody buys it. If they do, CREATE IT! If they don’t, you can make some changes and try again. Either way, you found out before you spent all that time creating it. Sell it. Then create it. What’s something you’ve been thinking about creating?

I had a guy join my women’s group (it’s clear on the about page it’s for women) Would you remove him or keep him stay. I don’t want to offend just in case that’s how he identifies. Let me know your thoughts

This makes sense to me as we are here to grow our own Skool communities! I'm curious how many of you incorporate a free FB community with your Skool community ecosystem? I'm designing my Skool community as paid-only rather than freemium, and am planning to have the free FB community as a step someone might take before they join me in Skool. But I heard on the last summit that my entry pricing of $11/mo is essentially the same as free, so now I'm second guessing myself. Is there enough benefit to having a free FB community to attract new members into our worlds as not all of them even know about Skool existing yet and they may hang out on FB (plus FB will show your group to cold leads sometimes)? Or other reasons?
