Hi Everyone, Skool recently made a change to its discovery algorithm, which appears to lower the ranking of older, free, and public groups like “Accelerator University” compared to other Skool groups that are paid and private. I just wrote this post on the Skool Community to demonstrate that abandoned groups now rank above engaged communities like ours. "Why new algorithm ranks abandoned groups higher now?" https://www.skool.com/community/why-new-algorithm-ranks-abandoned-groups-higher-now/ If Accelerator University has positively impacted you, could you take a moment to comment on this post? Share how you’ve benefited from our curriculum, enjoyed the community experience, and/or the personalized 1-on-1 Coaching. I understand Skool’s goal is to prioritize “retention” over growth or engagement. However, this shift will impact older groups like Accelerator University, which has been actively serving members for many months. Please take a moment to click on the link above and tell Skool that the thriving community at Accelerator University is committed to quality discussions, meaningful human connections, and authentic member experiences. Thanks for supporting our mission!

For a while, I've been 'studying' how to run a biz, over-analysing every little piece of information, try to solve all 'virtual' problems, and some problems of brands that I randomly get their ads. What I didn't understand out along the way is that it shouldn't take that much analysis as much as work. But the problem with me was always being my brain compressed with analysis and problem-solving mechanisms, the thing that when you over-do in business can put extra levels of stress upon your shoulders with zero output. What I accidentally discovered lately, is that when I decompress this urge for problem-solving and 'what-if's' doing something else, I come back with a clearer stress-free mind. It happened when I started to learn coding (which is a passion I abandoned looong ago). It might seem off, but it, some how, aligns with my goal. Nevertheless, the biggest gain was relieving my mind from overthinking. It was the first time for me to notice that, after I got my over-analysis obsession decompressed towards a hard task, I come back to business easy-minded and stress relieved. It felt like doing your workout on the morning so that you get an optimistic whole day. I believe that everyone has that trait that applies an un-necessary extra stress without them noticing. This could be working out, writing diaries, content creation, sharing knowledge, journaling, etc. This Is different from person to person. And last to say is that the hardest task is to find that 'something'. But believe me, it is worth the search...

Alex Hormozi was completely right about starting with friends 💯 I used to purchase courses about the area I like the most but without getting clients (because you know, no one wants an expert without experience). But once I started talking about it with my friends and selling my ideas, they asked me for help. And that's it. I got hired by my first free client. It was the first time I get my ideas to see the light and being (completely opposite to what I thought) highly appreciated one after the other until I was frequently asked "what is next?" This is when I told myself "here is where my real business plan starts, and exactly the way I like it to be." I've been doing it in a unorganized fashion till I got in contact with @Alexi Drouin and thanks to him, I knew it is called Growth Operating. After that call I started to put my ideas together and create the roadmap for my client with the action steps of the first stage.

I’m currently feeling a bit stuck on my journey to starting an online business. That's why I’d like to hear stories from people who have managed to overcome this initial mental barrier. 😵
