well, kinda. in the last Skool news, they said, they are changing it. so, not really closing. but... i have always been skeptical about Games and even about Leaderboard/Gamification, in general. i always say "be clear what you are trying to achieve". here are the things i would NEVER do in this or any other of my groups: - ask for engagement for the sake of engagement (for my star badge or discovery rank) - ask people to buy from me because i need to win the games or smth - in general, do things that benefit me/community, but not my ppl or ppl in their communities i hope you know my formula for any activity i organize: WIN-WIN-WIN - i win - you win - your ppl win that just makes every decision so much easier for me. and i don't get distracted by any "game" that is introduced. hence, i was not surprised to hear Eva Raposa's talk (founder of Focused Founders) about winning Skool games and the truth that nobody tells (the video should start at 1:17:15 for her talk). now think about all the ppl who did not win: pretty harsh "hangover", i suppose. ps great Skoolx Public Speaking Competition. missed it last time. for sure will try to get to the next round, cause TedEx speech is on my wish list.

I'm seeing a lot of people, and I mean big people on Skool, very sucessful ones saying how the growth boost will change the way they approach their platform. And they see this change as a positive, because it does bring them more traffic. BUT, here is the thing, the big game is to put their high ticket offers either in another platform or in a second community that has the growth boost disabled, effectivelly doing what most people did before tiers. So basically, they will get the extra boost at a free community but will nurture and upsell the offer to a second private communtiy where they will sell the high ticket offer. I can see how appealing that is. You have a free community where you nurture warm leads and get free extra boost, and will problably never have a reason to upgrade, because it might never be monetized. And than a second community where you monetize without the need for the growth boost, because people will simply hop there from the free one. But this is very very bad for Skool. It's not what they want, but everyone who has a big brain and does not care about meeting Hormozi will do that. Hell, those people won't care about discovery at all in that second community, hence there is no penalty for taking the whole payment system elsewhere so there is also no reason to upgrade to pro. Unless you also care about affiliate marketing, but there are other platforms that do that. So they won't get 30% fees from people who are not competitive in the Skool games. They will also not get the 10% fee since the offers are made somewhere else. And there is also no reason to upgrade to pro if your income is 0 here. It's a loose loose situation for skool if people actually find the workaround to exploit this.

last couple of days were brutal. - first, the news about "Growth Boost" function (do not get me started) - then, tomorrow's debate being on a brink of complete failure (it will happen, but it took some effort) - and now, i got this member 🤦🏻‍♀️ from "Skool network" - ALFA MALE IN 30 DAYS, really?! it was the last straw. can i just go and scream, like really, really loud?? to be back, a nice happy smiling Lidia after that ps this is your permission to vent. no judgement pss ppl like this, get banned right away, no explanation. you can do that too.
