Last night I was really flirting with the idea of quitting Skool. As a father of two boys under 4, husband to preggers wife, and owner of a small relatively new brewery, everyday seems like I don't have a moment to sit down.
Building my Skool community has been a fun outlet for me, and was a good use of my time when I was sitting at our taphouse during the dead hours.
But it hasn't been exactly encouraging. You see, my business is only 3 years old and we just recently finally got a retail space. In the beer world, wholesale sucks and makes you very little money, especially as a small one man show. Last year we survived off of $18,000 dollars personal income for a family of four. Things are on an upward trajectory now but Im never going to rich, I'm just trying to support my family.
Everyone keeps trying to sell me on THEIR programs, Im broke people!
My community has seen some growth, I even attract members that seem like perfect fits! Starting or want to start breweries etc. but they rarely post, reply, interact. So far I've had 3 for 3 video calls where no one shows up!
My first goal was just to have Skool pay for itself so I don't feel so guilty subscribing to a few communities, but I have yet to make a dime.
I got woken up early so I worked on some more content and had some fun so I'm back in for now, but it's just one of those things that sometimes I just think "What the hell am I doing?"
Am I just doing this for my own entertainment? It's fun and rewarding when I post something and get some interaction, but I'm not just here to make people read all my bullshit lol.
