the latest Skool updates. and the honest, unfiltered verdict from me. THE VERDICT (text and video below) i see Growth Boost is like a casino married to a financial pyramid: - if you are free, low ticket, low conversion/retention rates, forget it - no ads on you - if you are doing okay, they will include you in the carousel 🎠 which is no different from option 1. it means you only get visitors from discovery and search and profile. it means, they are growing Skool, you pay for it - if you are doing good (based on efficiency score we have not seen - but know how is calculated), you get dedicated campaign with $1-5k per day budget. but, let's get real here for a sec: if they do it for 100 communities, spending $3k on average, their daily ad spend is $300k, monthly - $9mln. well, do you believe that they have such investment? and even so, 100 communities is 0.16% BOOM! because, there 160k members in Skoolers. forget free communities. even then there are 60-80k paid communities. my real verdict is - i just don't see ppl joining small/ paid / expensive communities right away - focus on getting traffic to your community by yourself - they just announced "re-adjustment" so, sorry, you might not see results for next 1-2 weeks - getting your community into the carousel?? i see no value in it. and then, ppl search and find you and you pay Skool 30-70%. is it fair? - more importantly, you advertise, ppl go to skool, check your profile, join from there and you give Skool 30-70%. is this fair? --- here is the summary for the curious or find the recording in the Vault, as all previous recordings 🤩 New Features: - Skool reviews are now visible on Google. YEY. i could see them for Community Income Mastermind. but not for this community. it's weird. i will ask in Skoolers and update you once i understand the issue. - now Skool in the browser will autodetect the language and will translate the menu, and the content of the groups.

We just wrapped today’s monthly Implementation call with Lidia inside her mastermind community, and it was incredible. I really love the pacing of Lidia’s work. I’ve gone through her 30-Day Hackathon twice (it’s in the Classroom tab), and each round gave me something different. The daily focus and metrics tracking helped me dial into my intuition, my endurance, and my own rhythm. Some days were high energy, others felt heavy, but doing it with accountability partners made all the difference. Reaching goals alone is fine, but doing it together is so much more empowering. Joining the mastermind was the natural next step for me. If you feel like you’re wandering in the dark or you’re ready for that next level, reach out to Lidia and book a call. She has a rare gift for meeting you exactly where you are. Hope to see you on the next Implementation call inside the Community Income Mastermind! much love, and some piano joy for you https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=tDMj2AVNItE&si=0KQcx3c8wOEoT-Lh while you build and work today. 🩷

missed it yesterday. but even more reasons to share this one today. cause we - me & my hubby - are celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary today & (the drum roll) the theme of the wedding was Oscar nominations. and our first dance was a tango from Scent of a Woman movie. we even took 3-4 dancing lessons to perform that, properly. now, the movie. i mean, yes, it is an old one. 1992. but, Al Pacino, getting Oscar, for his role - you can't argue that?! why i like it? apart from it was my wedding dance... - life brings us people, weird ppl - even if for a weekend - who we can learn from - life gives us cross-roads and it's up to us to make the decision, it might change the trajectory - so, don't dismiss those - be yourself, be passionate, love what you have and act on it if you decide to watch, ask yourself these questions to turn this into “therapy/coaching session”: - are you too focused on problems/disadvantages you have vs your strengths? - what opportunities are you dismissing right now? - are you making everything out of what you have? - is there a mentor you are dismissing? - anything else comes to your mind while you watch this movie? give us some love & tell me if you are going to watch this ⬇️

i'm capping CIM at 100 members. and once we're there, doors are closed. WHY 100: - i can't do this well past a certain number. i read what you post. i answer the awkward questions properly. i notice who's gone quiet. - at 300 people i'd stop doing all of that and start posting content into a feed (that's what majority of ppl do and call it coaching 🙄) - a room where 100 people are genuinely doing things beats a room of 1,000 where 40 are. not only that, i am also limiting the entry window to last four days a month. WHY LIMIT? - when people trickle in constantly, i have to switch between delivery and onboarding. and task switching causes 40% loss of productivity (believe me, as a productivity coach) - also, someone joins on the 14th, lands in the middle of a conversation they've missed half of, the month - doesn't want to ask, and quietly never posts, then leavers quietly - finally, big way, if the doors are open all month, i'm selling all month. again, task switching. instead i want to focus on serving you better. i am raising a standard not just for my ppl, but also for me. ⭐️ open four days, everyone arrives together, gets onboarded together. the next 3 weeks i focus on delivering the best service for people inside. this is really the evergreen vs launch model argument that we are debating on Friday with @Carol Tice join us to hear us talking about it. funny enough, i am defending evergreen. THIS WEEK I'M INVITING PEOPLE TO LEAVE CIM generally, ppl do not recommend to remove inactive members. and it's true for a community (free or paid). however, i am building a true mastermind - a place where ppl take action! it creates an environment where everybody thrive. ➡️ join Community Income Mastermind for $37/m until 1st Sep (going to be $97/m).

you probably don’t know that i am a certified movie coach. i got through that courses, cause i was trying to marry the thing that i loved “movies” with the thing that i loved and wanted to make money from “coaching”. anywho… introducing new topic, every Saturday i'll share a movie with a bit of comments and questions that could help with your life and business. sounds good? let me know ⬇️ today, i share a short series - Mare from Easttown. you can find it on Apple TV+. 95% on Rotten Tomatoes pretty good, right? why i like it? - i love detective stories. but it’s not the point. - it is very realistic. it shows how f*king hard life is. and how messy, f*cked up we are. - but it is not doomed. it gives hope. and it shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel. bonus points to Kate Winslet - she is amazing as a person and she is good as an actress. i just love her. if you decide to watch, ask yourself these questions to turn this into “therapy/coaching session”: - what impossible standard of perfection am i trying to meet? - how does my need for control prevent me from accepting life or business as it is? - do i reject support from others because i think i must handle everything alone in life or business? - how is it holding me back or my business, because of past events or my bad decisions? - am i able to love myself even on the bad days? just re-watched it this week. so, i thought it's a good start. yes/no/maybe/don't understand? share your thoughts ⬇️
