*so scary*

Just finished hosting 50+ Skoolers from around the world in my hometown Belfast. Here's three things I learned to help you plan your first IRL event :) // 1. Don't plan the schedule too strictly Everyone's favourite moments of the week were unplanned. - The unexpected topics we covered - The random places we went for dinner - And the laughs/tears we shared along the way There's a reason why @Sam Ovens and @Alex Hormozi start every single 1-day with a blank page. @Nick Guadagnoli calls it "emergence theory," and it's the secret sauce most IRL events skip. (It took me 7 back-to-back trips to Vegas to finally figure this out lol. Don't take as long as I did). // 2. Leave a little wiggle room for things to "go wrong" Something @Ted Carr and I always talk about is that "the difference between a trip and an adventure is that something goes wrong." - Getting stuck in fog while hiking up a mountain - Forgetting a towel while going sea-swimming - Not having enough chairs because so many people showed up All these things created "shared experiences" for us to go through together — which resulted in super-powerful memories, bonds and stories. We didn't get it all right. But we had a lot of fun along the way. // 3. Your Community is craving in-person connection more than you think. People spent thousands of dollars to fly to Belfast from places like Canada, France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, United States, and Australia (35 hours). The one reason they came? (According to @Calvin Hollywood) "Proximity," AKA to be around: - Like-minded people - Who are trying to achieve the same goal - And a group where they felt like they belonged This is the reason people joined your community in the first place. Why not take it offline?

Look at this! I added important training updates to my Facebook vs.Skool community Sunday and yesterday. List building course on Sunday: 22 engagements in Facebook, 3 comments 110 engagements in skool, 58 comments Membership Roadmap update yesterday evening: 18 engagements on Facebook, 6 comments 51 engagements on skool, 32 comments Can you imagine how this difference adds up over the months and years? I'm mind blown. You can't help your students if they don't see your posts.

Soooo You know when we were kids Having a sleepover at space camp or smthg, And we’d all stay up, make fart sounds, Tell silly stories and share ridiculous ideas? Well the games ceremony just ended And it’s 3am And all night tonight @Andrew Kirby @Matthew Thompson And myself are doing just that! Amidst the fumes we are making some MASSIVELY significant realizations... We’re coming up with super FUN ideas For this community and Skool games community. Any ideas what they might be??

For the first time Hamza is seeing a real challenger: John Frazer from Magnates Media. The crazy part is that John did all of this in the last 23 days. $121K of new MRR in less than a month... not bad. However, there can only be one GOAT on Skool - so who will it be?
