Skool Helped Me Find a Mentor and Change My Life!
Here's the story of how joining this community helped me leave the Latin American film industry to build a business that changes lives. 🙂 At the start of this year, I decided to find a mentor to help me launch and grow an online education business because I strongly wanted to make a real difference, not just trade time for money. I was running a DFY service for clients I didn’t like, managing teams and projects that drained my creativity. I worked supervising post-production workflows for movies. I managed color grading and editing for big clients like Netflix, Amazon, Vogue, and GQ. The money was good, but there was no spiritual reward. Some of the videos I was making, especially for Vogue, went against my values and life philosophy. I convinced myself I was happy because of my connections in the Latin American film industry. But the truth was, it sucked: long hours with no real impact. By "real" impact, I mean the kind that fills both your soul and your wallet – ifkyk. At the same time, I had been binge-watching Sam Ovens' YouTube channel. I had discovered it four years ago and secretly hoped I could one day become a business consultant, helping others manifest their dreams with online entrepreneurship. One day, after a rough day where I had too many coffees and got caught up in the hustle mindset, I went into crisis mode and realized I wanted to build something that truly excited me and helped me get into flow state easily. The next morning, I joined Skool, just to see how coaches and consultants were using the platform. I saw Ted Carr was number one on the Skool Community leaderboard with 5x more points than anyone else. I joined his free Contentpreneurs group on the spot and went through his “P’s of Clarity” and other free docs and videos. Ted’s content gave me hope. It made me feel like business consulting wasn’t a distant dream. The next day, I booked a call with his team and met Benny. I connected with him right away and could tell he was a super solid guy. I knew this was the program I needed.
