A couple of thoughts…
These last few days I've been quieter around Skool (both here and in other groups). As you know, I'm still in the middle of figuring things out… yet…
I've noticed there's a lot of noise out there about Skool communities, growth hacks, and money-making opportunities. And sure, I'm absolutely open to earning some extra cash too — but that was never the intention behind this group. The spark for creating this space came from wanting to keep “Unicorns” like you around me. Which means pushing for rapid growth or chasing numbers just makes zero sense in the first place.
Why am I telling you this? Because I'm not planning to post every single day, maybe not even for weeks! Sometimes I genuinely feel like sharing or asking something. Other times, there's simply nothing worth bringing to you. It reminds me of “small talk.” And I'm terrible at small talk. In fact - I can’t stand it.
If something truly matters to me, I can talk for hours. But talking (or here: posting) just for the sake of filling space, while hoping for community growth or even engagement, that’s not who I am..
Also, I’ve decided NOT to bring any new people into the community without getting to know them FIRST. Meaning: BEFORE someone NEW joins, we’ll have a more in-depth video call. Given my initial intention with this group, that’s the bare minimum I owe to everyone here, including myself. Otherwise - how would I know this person is a match to this group? I simply wouldn't!! Or do you think by asking a couple "qualifying questions with a form"? Really? I don't think that's good enough.. If you have another view, I'm keen to know as you know. ;)
With all that said — I do have two things. I came across someone who in my view is a world-class expert what he does. Kevin Trudeau. This video here resonates BIG times with me. I hope you'll also find it insightful and/or "confirming". If there is anything that is triggering you or whatever, please share - I'd be super-keen to know.
P.S. I might start doing daily “Micro Mirror Calls” anytime soon. Mainly as a way to "force" myself into more structure and hold myself accountable, showing up for myself. If I actually go through with it and anyone wants to join one or a few of these calls, feel free. What will be happening on these calls? Well, if no-one is online, I'm simply there, showing up for myself. If someone decides to show up, we'll have a brief chat about anything that might be of value to us (accountability, simply touching base with another human, whatever, micro brain storming about whatever, who knows). And if not, as always, that’s perfectly fine too.
P.S.S. I love how Kevin is challenged by the women interviewing him - no fluff - and whether Kevin is "simply" insanely eloquent or not in his answers - I believe what he's sharing.
