I would love to meet all of you. Let me know who you are, what you do, what is your community all about, who's your ideal audience 👇👇👇

The replay is up in the classroom now. It got me thinking about your Skool community growth. How your About Page does more work than people realize when someone lands on your community for the first time. Why not make it work harder for you too? The natural next step feels like an About Page workshop focused on how your community page reads to someone who has never used Skool before…. now deciding to join or keep scrolling. Think of your About Page as the front desk for people who didn’t expect to end up here. Here’s what I was thinking … 💭 🤔 Would you be interested in a fishbowl workshop where I audit two members’ About Page copy while everyone who joins learns along? I would need two volunteers who want a page review for conversion ratings & ways to improve your copy so it attracts the humans you want to serve. Is this something you want next? HELP me pick a time in the comments please!! I am thinking about this Friday evening or Saturday morning CST.

I never believed I would find my way back to clarity, let alone purpose. I began my working life at eighteen, straight out of school, selling furniture and handling administration. From there I moved into component sales, back when Yamaha 5.1 surround sound systems were the height of aspiration. A year later, I took a role at a quiet gym branch in South Africa, where I was mentored in telephonic sales and structured presentations. Within three months I had doubled my target. Soon after, I became an assistant sales manager and a Millionaire Club salesperson. I was earning consistent six figure commission cheques without any financial literacy, no real sense of direction and no understanding of what success was meant to serve. That emptiness created space for addiction. What followed was nearly two decades of hell. Homelessness. Isolation. A single minded desire to escape reality through heroin. I still remember my first night on the streets in the middle of winter, sitting on the steps of a block of flats in gang territory, freezing, my t shirt pulled over my knees as withdrawal tore through my body. Tormented while awake. Tormented while asleep. At times, survival felt like an unreasonable expectation. And yet, despite watching so many people lose their lives to addiction, I held onto one belief. I would survive. More than that, I would thrive. Today, my life looks very different. I am an account manager for one of the most powerful IT firms in Africa. I own my own agency. Through Skool, I connect daily with like minded entrepreneurs across the world, delivering high level IT and full spectrum marketing solutions that help organisations scale, move faster and work smarter. Much of the good that now exists in my life has been shaped by this platform and the people within it. Real conversations. Real support. Real growth. To the Skool community and to everyone who continues to walk alongside this journey, thank you. Our shared intention is to help one thousand business owners and startups scale and create meaningful impact in their own right.
