As you can see from the screenshot, our community group is currently ranked a respectable #5,804 on Skool Discovery. But I have another goal - overtaking that low-code group ranked at #1,799. So how can we climb the ranks? It's actually pretty straightforward: Engagement from our awesome members! Things like: - Liking and commenting on posts - Creating and sharing your own new posts - Inviting your friends who are into low-code to join our group These actions will directly contribute to improving our overall ranking. And as we move up the leaderboard, all our content will start to get even more visibility and engagement. It's a goal that I know we can achieve. Let's boost our ranking and take this group to the top.

It's critical to recognize patterns in your behavior. For example, if you're inconsistent or disorganized in your personal life, it's likely reflected in your business. To make a change, start by conducting an honest audit of your life and habits. Identify areas where you lack commitment or consistency and tackle those. For instance, if you tend to start things but never finish them, practice becoming a "finisher" in everyday tasks. This could be as simple as finishing a glass of water or a workout before moving on. By adjusting how you do the small things, you can positively affect the bigger things in your life. The key to success is not just in what you do, but how you do it consistently over time.

Preparation is your greatest leverage in lowering cost. I provide a full breakdown (using ChatGPT and my experience) of exactly what I want the designer to do, down to the order of the sections and the copy within it. That is less work and headache for the designer, and so you can negotiate lower prices. With that visual design, you give the full layout to the developer, which answers a ton of questions and makes it a more desirable project to work on, which again allows you to negotiate lower prices. I do this everytime I outsource work. By doing things in this way, the people you are hiring enjoy working with you because you are very clear and give them everything they need upfront, so it is less headache for them, and that is leverage in negotiations for you.

Came across this video where Frank Slootman, CEO of Snowflake, discusses what he believes are the key factors that helped him build three billion-dollar companies. Obviously there is a lot that goes into it - but I think there are a lot of takeaways that apply to any small/medium-business SaaS Founders. 1. Struggle and failure are normal in entrepreneurship, but they are formative and can teach valuable lessons. 2. Leadership requires conviction, courage, and clarity to bring people together towards a common mission and to create energy within an organization. 3. To succeed, you need to choose the right elevator by picking a growing, expanding industry with good cards and knowing how to play them. The whole video is worth a watch. He hits the nail on the head in many ways, especially when it comes to prioritizing speed and taking action.

Hey everyone, I'm excited to share with you a new idea I have for a FREE mini-course and open-source app that I believe can help this community thrive. The idea is to provide you with a functioning, open-source micro-SaaS app that you can customize with your branding and deploy to the Chrome Store with minimal coding required. The goal is to get running software up fast and learn best practices through hands-on experience. Through the mini-course, I will guide you through the process of customizing the app and deploying it. By participating, you will learn valuable skills that can help you take your business to the next level. And if you get stuck along the way, this community is here to support you. Share your questions, ideas, and progress updates with us! This mini-course and open-source app will lay the foundation for everyone to start making progress quickly, and it could even lead to me releasing more micro-SaaS prototypes and tutorials for different niches. I'm really excited about this idea and believe it has the potential to help this community achieve great things. I plan to launch the mini-course and open-source app very soon, and in the meantime, I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can make this project even more valuable. Let me know in the comments what you think!
