I'm not happy with the recent trends in this community. This is a place for genuine conversations and connections with other community owners. This is not a place for you to build your "thought leader" reputation with "4 things I learned in Bali about leadership" type posts and hollow comments. Here's the rules: 1. Don't be annoying 2. No self promotion 3. Don't use chatGPT 4. This isn't LinkedIn: Don't be a "thought leader" (see meme) 5. No engagement farming: Empty content to boost posts and get likes 6. Be positive 7. Make an effort If you see any posts/comments that break these rules - report them. If you're not sure, report them anyway. We're tightening up moderation.

...so we can make more stuff to help you get the most out of Skool.

I joined Skool at the end of February this year, February 21st to be exact. I discovered it thanks to a small YouTuber, now friend, and joined his free community where I met this other guy, who introduced me to the SMMA business model and to Max Perzon's SMMA course(prior to all of this I had no business experience). So, jumped straight into it to learn, had everything set up to start doing outreach but at the end of March I decided to pivot towards something that I could do directly on Skool which was growth operating, and told myself I would make sure to stick to it until it worked(although I wouldn't really call myself a growth operator). I spent from then until the end of May just learning stuff, working on small random projects as a way to make myself feel busy, trying to figure things out, but I wasn't really getting anywhere or making any money. At that time I was still living in France where I was studying at, but I had quit my part-time job at a restaurant and I dropped out of college because I felt like I was completely wasting my time and going in no direction. And over those past few months I had completely changed, I barely left my room, stopped hanging out with old friends and overall gone down a self development spiral. At the end of May, I was lucky enough to find someone who decided to serve as a mentor/accountability partner for me to take the steps I needed to in order to get to where I wanted to be: $10k/month, as many of us just starting out do. Despite the fact that I was moving countries to come back to my parent's house to focus more on "the business", saying bye to friends I had made during my 2 years in France, had a two-week trip in between the move. I did my best to essentially stay consistent to land my first actual client. On the first week being back in my parents house in mid-June, I landed my first couple of clients. I felt happier than I've probably ever felt, seeing how proud my parents were was the best part about it.

Skool is inevitable 🔥 what are you guys thoughts on this

Don't Quit Edgar Albert Guest When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man/woman; Often the struggler has given up when he/she might have captured the victor's cup; and he/she learned too late when the night came down, how close he/she was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.
