What are Grey Jedi? Who are they?
As you may know, I am quite the Star Wars geek. It feels like the perfect theme for this community because learning the ways of the force is quite similar to learning how to engage in a community. But there was always something off about the Jedi Order. In most stories, there is a clear distinction between good and evil. The Sith are obviously the evil ones, but the Jedi never seemed to be the good ones. The Jedi feel like the other extreme of the spectrum, where you are not allowed to feel anything. No emotion, no passion, no love? No, thank you! Fortunately, there is a third order. The Grey Jedi are all about balance. They are the bridge connecting the dark and the light side. Taking the best of both to create a better world. Ashoka Tano, Qui-Gon Jinn, Raven and even Luke Skywalker are some good examples. (In Legends, Luke even marries Mara Jade, who is a former assassin of the emperor) I can’t think of a better community to be part of. Who doesn't want to be an ancient space wizard? That is what we are building here. An order of Grey Jedi acting as a bridge to connect all communities into one ecosystem of balance. What kind of Force powers would you like to have?

What drives your engagement?
In September, @Lukas Schmidt & @Sofiya Pierce were hosting the Networking challenge in this community, with the primary goal of connecting people and the secondary goal of getting the Star. I've always loved connecting with people, and have always loved supporting good people doing good things, so I started to spend more time engaging here. Really, it was just about the spirit of the game - I wasn't even aware there were prizes. That's how you know you have something great - when people willfully engage simply because it's fun to do. Lo and behold, that spirit of playful engagement got me to the top of the leaderboard for September and I won a free audiobook of He Who Fights With Monsters (I've read through the first 3, and have been on a bit of a break, but am very excited to jump into #4 here!). What other community does that?! A real tangible reward for my online interactions! Thank you Lukas & Sofiya for the generous gift, for your efforts to bring together these amazing people, and for sharing your talents within Skool. We wouldn't be here without you 🙏

What are your core values?
When we get excited or fired up to help people, it’s normally because it aligns with our values. That deep internal place where you are moved to make a difference. Recently, I’ve been moved to build my values around financial stability, peace and healthy love. Most of my life, I invited and created chaos as a trauma response to being rejected. So now I want to help others remove chaos from their lives so that they can thrive and make a life that supports their creativity and brings them money. Values example: When I see, someone overwhelmed with too much tech, and useless ads agencies bogging them down, I want to be like, “hey this can be so much easier.” 😁 What are your core values? And how do they play out when it comes to serving people?

How do you CARE?
We discussed potential bottlenecks every community owner has to face: - C standing for conversion - A standing for ascension - R standing for retention - E standing for engagement No matter what money model you choose to pursue in your community, you have to design your META (most effective tactic available) to CARE the best way you can for your community members. - Conversion starts at your about page. So far what worked for me best is a simple questionnaire you can turn on in your plugins section and ask future members to answer 3 questions of your choice. That allowed me to filter members according to what they want and what I can deliver for them. - Ascension is a bit tougher. That's why my automated DM (you can turn on in your plugins section) triggers an onboarding process that prompts new members to a 30 minute audit call. So far 3 out 7 booked and attended a call, with two follow up sessions coming next. - Retention is where we all need help. During my talk with @Jose Guerra we came to a conclusion that retention is directly connected with engagement. - Engagement is what makes the community work or not. Perhaps the best example is this community lead by @Lukas Schmidt where we constantly look for new or META ways to engage people. This is the problem we want to solve more than any other. What if there would be a way to solve that problem with one click for all our community members? Over the past 20 years of teaching, tutoring and mentoring I can give you all educational creators two key takeaways that will make your and your members life so much easier: 1. PKM (personal knowledge management) is a foundation to any learning process and PKM is not about aggregating, it is about HOW you aggregate. There are many systems to do that. My pick (after trying it all) is zettlekasten with a any backlink supporting app. 2. The way you structure your educational content is essential and brain dumping is definitely not the way to go. Ultimately the more you are organised with your knowledge the better you can deliver it.
