What do you think of a 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 so you can see all the events in every community you are a member in one place? - now you can use 𝗕𝗢𝗟𝗗 font in your posts and comments - see all your membership calendars with events - voice text in the chat!! - get the Skool cat anytime - see unread messages in the community thread - and a bunch more things... We shouldn't think of this as competition. We all want more members in our calls. Therefore, I recommend you also recommend this extension to your members. The extension also offers some additional features (bookmarks, focus mode, stats, etc.). Check it out here skool-extensions.com Will you use it?

Meet Mr. Mullet Tortoise 🐢 I didn’t plan to have a community mascot… but somehow he showed up and now he’s doing important work 😂 What started as something fun turned into something more. Mr. Mullet Tortoise represents how I believe businesses should be built. Slow, steady, intentional… with room to actually enjoy the process. Business up front, party in the back. He’s a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be rushed or exhausting to work. You can move at your own pace, figure things out as you go, and still get real results. It’s even turned into a kind of language. “I’m in tortoise mode this month” or “That launch had mullet energy.” Simple, but it captures a lot. Not just for fun, but a cue for how we approach growth. Build real systems. Move sustainably. Have some fun along the way. I’m curious… do you have something like this in your community? A mascot, phrase, or inside “language” that represents your culture? 🐢

Let’s be real for a second. You’re trying things, showing up, posting, tweaking… but it still feels like nothing is really clicking. So you switch. New platform. New strategy. New idea. And for a moment it feels productive, like maybe this is the thing. But then the same thing happens again… no real traction, no consistency, no momentum. Here’s what’s actually going on. It’s not that things aren’t working. It’s that nothing is being given enough time to work. You’re not building a machine, you’re constantly restarting one. A strategy needs time. You don’t try it, watch it for a minute, then start swapping tactics and expect results. But that’s exactly what happens with most solopreneurs. You interrupt the process before it ever has a chance to produce anything meaningful. The shift is simple, but not always easy. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. Something repeatable. Something connected. Something you can stick with long enough to get real feedback. Because once you do that, everything changes. You start getting data. You see patterns. You notice what’s working and what’s not. Now you’re making decisions based on evidence instead of emotion. But if you keep switching too fast, everything feels like it’s failing… when really, nothing had the chance to succeed. So before you pivot again, ask yourself this. Have I actually built a system? Or have I just been testing disconnected ideas? If the usual way isn’t working, it might not be about doing more. It might just be time to build repeatable systems. Curious… what’s one thing you’ve switched too quickly that you probably didn’t give enough time to actually work?

This quote from André De Shields’ 2019 Tony Award speech changed my life: “𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲.” It’s how I approach most things in my life, including my business. I’ve found that rushed work leads to flat results, while slow, steady, and thoughtful actions create a strong foundation. That foundation is what makes my work sustainable and sets my future self up well. I don’t end up exhausted because I’m not building my days in a way that leads to exhaustion in the first place. What are your thoughts on this? 👇

No videos no lives no speaking no being seen But still wanting to be heard… make that make sense 5 years ago the idea of even talking on Zoom made me sick to my stomach I would literally stay quiet even when I had something to say Now I’m stepping in as a guest speaker inside the Built to Be Seen Summit wild. What changed wasn’t that fear disappeared it didn’t I just stopped letting it be in charge And that one decision led me to something I didn’t expect… building a community that actually pays me Not from being the loudest person in the room not from going viral not from chasing people down But from learning how to speak in a way that pulls the right people in That’s what I’ll be sharing in my session Community to Cash how to grow organically how to structure it simply and how to actually make money from it If fear wasn’t in the way, what would you actually start doing?
