...from a Silly Goose who forgot to take a single damn picture! 🤦♀️📸😭
Ok ok... I just got home from the Austin IRL and I'm still reeling over how insanely magical it was! Literally still tearing up as I type this up for all my Goosify peeps! 🫠
*Btw, if you read this whole damn dissertation - you get extra honks bc I have like zero desire to try and condense this shit right now 🤣 I poured my little heart out and that's about all the energy I have left! 😁
Here goes....
It was beyond anything words can describe to be in a room full of Skoolers! Some I knew, most I didn't! But by the end of the weekend I felt like I had friggin' awesome friends who I loved the heck out of and they loved me back!
I'll try to channel the feelings of what it was like to be there and what I learned, but I don't think I'll do it as much justice as I truly want. 💜🌟
🌟 Energy > Strategy
I'll say this... every time vulnerability and passion stepped in, the whole room would light the fuck up!! All the data, optimizations, and hacks in the world will never replace YOUR epic aura, raw energy, and the genuine human connections you create with your own unique flava flav!!! 😋
💎 Being a Member is POWERFUL AF!!!! 💥
You don't have to have your own Skool group to win!!
I will admit that I spent most of the second day holding back tears. I felt sooooo out of my depth with all these friggin' amazing Skool group owners who are kicking ass on the platform! I questioned why I even came. So I went outside, had my pity party and let myself have a good cry... then pulled myself together and walked back in there with my head held high and said 'Becky, you own your shit and be YOU!' So I got out of my head and stopped comparing myself.
And guess what?! Just by being a member and showing up fully as myself, I was able to have doors open for me, build the most priceless relationships, and literally change my life in ways I couldn't have even imagined the span of a few short hours! 💞
🌈 In-Person Just Hits Fucking Different
Zooms and G-Meets are awesome! But IRLs create bonds you can feeeeeeel. I mean the most EPIC hugs, the most genuine pats on the back, fist bumps and high-fives, and the UNREAL heart to heart vibes that spark little fires in the depth of your soul! The trust that's built, the laughter that makes you high on life, and the tears that bond you to the epic humans in there just can't be replicated online... I LOVE Skool, but Skool IRL is top tier human experience. No cap. 🧢
💖 Opportunities Hide in the Room
From surprise offers to partnerships or collabs.... The real magic of IRLs happens in all the little side conversations, all the in-between moments and just being FULLY present. There is a reason I chose to not be active in here over the weekend - because I knew I wanted my attention to be fully on the real life Skoolers by my side. To get to know them, to encourage them, to love on them, and cheer them the fuck on face to face! I can cheer y'all on here all day here any day. But this weekend I wanted to be ALL IN on those beautiful people that showed up in Austin. It pays to be in the moment! Pretty much everything I came away with would have been completely missed if I had been on my phone or laptop the whole time. ❤️🔥
😎 Skool is the BEES KNEES
Hearing directly from and in person, they made it crystal clear; this platform is still in its early chapters... and being part of the IRLs puts you ahead of the curve baby! So get your ass to an IRL like yesterday!!! 🥰 But frfr.... if you ever ever ever ever ever get the chance to attend an IRL, please for the love of Goose and all that is Goosified... do everything in your power to make it happen! Yes, you'll get some epic strategies and learn a fuck ton of awesome shit! But more than anything... you'll experience the spark that makes Skool so fucking special.
With all my love to you epic silly geese,
xo Beckisaur 😘
