The past 14 days have been extremely enlightening; your collective input has clarified and strengthened my mission. Thank you for your valuable contributions. @Nordic Entrepreneur Your consistent community organization and mission-aligned content are an inspiring daily reminder to keep building. @Helen Sandwick Your consistent, care-forward community engagement aligns with my ethics and validates my choices here. @Dinka Salvador Your statement about me 'rubbing people the wrong way' (taken as a compliment) led to profound healing and clarity, helping me fully bridge my multitudes into a clear mission. Thank you for living authentically. @Justin Yip You gently pushed me to charge appropriately for my services and challenged my habit of apologizing, which, alongside Dinka's advice, helped me shed a creative-blocking mask and step into my full expression. You prove this community is working. I prioritize its value and character over True North's rank. Thank you all for a great introduction to community building.

Here is a little Sample of my book The Silo Economy! ENJOY! ----------------------------------------------------------------- ... It seems the more people become funneled into Siloes, the more they feel comfortable creating siloes of their own. now we have an opportunity to be creators, and stick to niches we are comfortable with, rather than mold ourselves around the shadowy rules of the algorithm. These days we get to build sustainable income on smaller communities through subscription pricing, and high-ticket offerings. ⏰Now—The price model on niche communities is a cited concern. Netizens are growing tired of the subscription model of micro-payments eating their money for platforms and software we can never own, and for "the meek", this model feels too unsustainable to grasp. And those who are not experiencing the free, and paid private communities would have no idea the gold mine that still awaits them. Welcome to the new wild wild West. Are you going to inherit the wealth, or spin your wheels for yet another cycle? 🤠1.3 Meet the Meek: We are the toilers, the wage laborers...the proletariat. The 'meek' for the purpose of this guide, are people who spend their days getting by. Our teachers, those of us handling fast food orders, our secretaries and estheticians, our retail workers, gardeners, stay-at-home moms, and parking lot attendants. We are the "bottom" 99%! 🚩 The biggest scam against "the meek" is that our knowledge and expertise is low-value. Tell that to Dylan, the ice cream scooper who went from making Youtube shorts about scooping ice cream for customers, making ice cream cakes, and refilling the soft serve machine, to opening up his own flagship ice cream shop in NYC.Tell that to the kid in their bedroom selling digital clothing/skins to other kids for their Second Life characters and teaching courses on how to make cozy girly games with AI. Those of us living normal lives, tapped into the pulse of society where it counts, have much to offer, and people will pay well with attention, time, money, and long-term support for our offerings.

Helen and I met on a Skoolers post, and I am so grateful that we did. Helen's gentle challenging spirit, and beautiful perspective on community building in the digital marketing space gave myself and everyone on the thread value, and I am honored that she is here with us now. Helen, please fill out the Intake form in the classroom and I would be so happy to issue a unique solo-mission for your goals. Welcome to the True North Anchor Collective!

Dinka and I had a great and spirited exchange in the Schoolyard, and we'll be best friends forever now! This 5/1 Generator is an open and curious Skooler that values real community and mutual support. She's a great person to know, don't squander her presence!

Hello, Anchors! I'm currently working on my first e-book/guide that will be available for purchase in the classroom, and given complementary to anyone who books a consulting package. Upon release, The True North School will focus on being a space for high-achieving execs, entrepreneurs, and production professionals that are feeling displaced in rapidly changing industries. 🌟The True North Anchor Collective will shift in the following ways to bring high quality community into the space: ✍️I am thinking about requiring NDA's. I will be inviting my outside network in, which are creative industry professionals and entrepreneurs with sensitive IP. In order to increase the quality of connections and remain a free but curated space, I believe the NDA may be the best option for additional protections and comfort. ♒ The content here will be focused on esoteric and market insights, free, random business ideas and advice for those finding their way and unsure of what need to fill, and business development challenges. 🤑 If you're here now, feel free to stay and enjoy what the community evolves into. There is a chance I will turn it into a paid community, but that should not affect you. If I find that it does, I will simply start a new paid community for high-performing, paying members. Thank you for your patience as I work through the best way to serve in this space!
