I see this mistake over and over, and to be honest - I’ve been there too...
When you start a community (or any business for that matter), you simply don’t know what you don’t know.
And for most people, what they don’t know is how crucial it is to focus their energy on high-level tasks that push their business forward, instead of getting bogged down by the small stuff.
The problem? Most people do everything themselves.
Sound familiar?
There’s nothing wrong with wearing all the hats when you're just getting started - trust me, I’m still doing it as I build my own community...
But here's the kicker: doing everything keeps you exactly where you are.
Think about it. How many hours are you losing to repetitive, manual tasks like:
Collecting new member names and emails…
Sending welcome emails manually...
Following up individually, and then setting reminders to follow up again days later…
It’s an endless loop. And the more your community grows, the worse it gets.
You start drowning in DMs, missing follow-ups, and before you know it, you’re just barely staying afloat...
Sound familiar? That’s because this is exactly what happens to most community owners who don’t have systems in place.
Now, let me tell you something. I took a look at what the biggest, most successful communities are doing. You know, the Skool Games winners generating tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands in MRR?
You know what I found out?
They all use systems - systems that automate those low-leverage, repetitive tasks.
Why? Because these systems free up their time to focus on the real game-changers - the high-level stuff that scales their business to the next level. And when you have systems, nobody slips through the cracks anymore.
You have to stop relying on manual work!
If you want to scale, systems are non-negotiable... So why aren’t you using them yet? Automate, streamline, and free yourself to focus on the moves that actually make a difference.
Are you running systems in your Skool community yet? Let me know below!
