Building a Skool community is like running a Marathon!

Sharing my Skoolers post here because we are ALL building here too!

I started running in 2012 to lose baby weight, but it quickly became something much deeper, a growth journey. I had to become a completely different person to achieve the goals I wanted. To go the distance, to endure, to keep showing up.

Along the way, I left behind friends, relationships, workplaces, beliefs, mindsets… you name it.

When I started my Skool community, it was to make an impact, to connect, to build something meaningful. But in the process, I realized I was also building myself. Because if you truly want to lead, there’s a level of inner work no one really warns you about.

I’ve had access to proven formulas, courses, support. I’ve hired people and invested money to build this. But just like with a marathon: NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, can run this race for me.

I can have everything lined up, but if I don’t show up, I don’t move forward.

It requires me to BE to keep going when I’m running for hours alone to keep posting when no one comments or shares to be my own cheerleader.

Not expecting praise, recognition, or validation but doing it for me. For the person I’m becoming.

And honestly… it can feel so lonely sometimes.

People, even family don’t always understand. They call me crazy. They tell me to play it safe, to drop the race, to not push too hard, to just focus on the 9–5.

Those are their fears but I feel them too.

Because building something on your own means carrying a lot:

The long hours creating content that feels unseen (even though that’s not the full truth), clients who stay private and don’t share their wins ,being a single mom, supporting parents with Alzheimer’s…

It’s a LOT.

But here’s what I’ve realized:

I need to level up again.

And that’s exactly what I do in marathons. I don’t quit. I level up. Because I know the reward goes far beyond the finish line.

So if you’re here feeling discouraged or hopeless, there’s no shortcut.

You have to put in the sweat, the tears, the work, the reps no one wants to do (myself included). It’s not easy and it’s not supposed to be. If it were, it wouldn’t be this meaningful or life-changing.

But I will say this: being HERE, surrounded by like-minded people going through the same struggles… makes it all so much better.

So if you made it to the end of this message:

LET’S KEEP GOING.

We owe it to ourselves.

That’s it.
