I just wanted to apologise for being a little absent recently. I've been dealing with some ill health and have needed to step back and focus on getting myself right. Things may be a little quieter from me for the foreseeable future, but don't worry... not too quiet. Geeks is still here, the community is still moving forward, and I'll continue showing up as much as I can. One thing this community has always been about is supporting each other through the highs and the lows, and right now, I'm taking my own advice and giving myself a bit of grace. I appreciate every single one of you for being here, thanks to everyone who has checked in with me and for your patience, and for continuing to make this such an incredible place to build, learn, and grow together. Keep showing up. Keep supporting one another. Keep being Geeks. ❤️

Today we're doing something different. No auditing your About page. No auditing your offer. No auditing your classroom. We're doing a SELF AUDIT. Answer this honestly: 👉 If you joined your own community today as a brand new member... What would frustrate you? Would you know where to start? Would you get a quick win? Would you understand the value? Would you know what to do next? Or would you feel confused, overwhelmed, or lost? Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen when we stop looking at our communities as owners and start looking at them as members. Drop your answer below. What's the one thing you'd improve if you joined your own community today? 🔥

Right Geeks, this one needs a proper conversation because it affects a lot of us building communities on Skool. Skool has rolled out something called Growth Boost. Some people are happy about it. Some people are not. And to be honest, I can see both sides. You can check it here: Community Settings → Discovery → Growth Boost From what I’m seeing, it’s turned on by default. The simple version is this: Skool can now promote communities through offsite ads, including Facebook and Instagram. So your community could be shown to people outside Skool, which could mean more visibility, more clicks, and more potential members. But here’s the bit everyone needs to understand. If Skool brings a paying customer into your community through Growth Boost, they take a 30% commission. If you bring someone in yourself through your own links, content, DMs, email list, audience, or promotion, that should still just be the normal payment processing fee. So on one side, you could say: 70% of a customer you didn’t pay to acquire is better than 100% of nobody. And that is a fair point. Ads are expensive. Traffic is hard. Most people do not have a huge audience. So if Skool is willing to pay to put communities in front of more people, that could be a big opportunity. But here’s where it gets messy. The big question is attribution. If someone joins because Skool ran an ad and sent them straight to your community, fair enough. But what if someone finds you because you were active in another Skool community? What if they clicked your profile because you commented, helped, networked, or built trust? What if they followed you from Skoolers or another group and joined later? Is that Skool bringing the customer? Or is that you doing the work inside the ecosystem? That’s the part that needs proper clarification. You can turn Growth Boost off, but the concern is that communities with it switched off may get far less discovery and network traffic. So for many people, turning it off might not feel like a real choice.

Let’s start a proper conversation today. Community building is weird, isn’t it? Some weeks feel amazing. You get comments. People show up. Someone joins. You feel like it’s finally starting to move. Then other weeks… Silence. Doubt. Second guessing. Wondering if anyone actually cares. But I’ll say this. I’ve seen so many of you grow in here and honestly, it’s been unbelievable to watch. Clearer communities. Better offers. Stronger posts. More confidence. More conversations. More people actually showing up and building. So today, let’s do what Geeks does best. Show love. Give advice. Share your take. Help someone see the thing they might be missing. Where are you at with your community this week? Are you feeling momentum? Are you stuck? Are you getting engagement but no growth? Growth but no conversations? Or are you just trying to figure out what the next move even is? And if you know somebody who would fit right in inside Geeks… Invite them to the builders party. Because this place is only getting better when the right people are in the room. 👇 What’s your honest take on community building this week?
