Over the last year on Skool, I’ve learned a lot about myself and what it means to be on Skool. I got bogged down thinking about all the "business" things that I needed to do. Funnels. Systems. Pages. Analytics. They're all important, but when I focused only on that, I lose the part I actually enjoy most. Connecting with people. I’ve been on Skool for about a year, but if I’m being honest, my own community has lived on the back burner for most of that time. I kept telling myself I needed to “get everything right” before showing up more. What I’ve realized is that the best moments I’ve had on Skool didn’t come from strategy. They came from conversations. DMs. Comments. Late night calls. Real people sharing real stuff. Some of the best conversations I’ve had this year happened inside Goosify. That’s why moving forward I’m choosing to optimize for connecting with people. - Less pressure to build the perfect thing - More effort to be present - More curiosity - More helping when I can - More listening Going to my first IRL back in September changed everything for me. Meeting people in person made the platform feel real in a way it never had before. Since then I’ve tried to make it to almost every Texas IRL because that energy is hard to replace. Goose and the Goosify team have built something special here, and I can feel it. It’s not only tactics. It’s culture. It’s people who actually care. I get a lot of joy from being in this community, and I’m grateful for the work that goes into making it what it is. If you see me around more, this is why. I’m here to connect, learn, and contribute where I can.
