This week I realized something important. I was using the coaching group here on Skool almost like a dopamine hit—scrolling, reading, liking, and participating gave me the feeling that I was moving forward, but in reality I was tricking myself into thinking I was being more productive than I was. That’s not to say you shouldn’t be an active member in this group—it’s valuable to participate. But it’s also important to notice when you’re over-committing to learning mode without taking action. Learning and action work best in sequence: you learn, then you act, then you learn again. I had to discern within myself where I was in that cycle. Otherwise I risked falling into the trap of consuming someone else’s strategy, getting my hopes high, failing to implement, and crashing down again. I’m sure many of you can relate to that. So I stepped back and used the week to focus on the actual foundation of my business. Here’s what I got done: Transferred all of my group coaching material from Stan.store over to Skool Created the September lesson for my group Got really clear on my offer, my stack, and how I’m going to sell it Collected two new testimonials For the week ahead, my next actions are: Finish my About page Post an invitation for participants to join the case study at beta pricing under the new structure In my free community, structure the “Start Here” segment and refine the About page Continue showing up with consistent content It feels good to be shifting from seeking dopamine to building solid foundations. Grateful to be here
