Hola, Mi Gente! I hope everyone had a rejuvenating weekend and a powerful Monday <3 As you know, I've been contemplating the "house" for group and even just the existence of a group as part of a package for how I want to expand my services. One thing that I've been paying very close attention to is how much less active most groups are, no matter how big, how old, how new and shiny, or how great they once were. I like having a group as an option because it still has a psychological benefit of feeling connected to others and... my thoughts have been that people still WANT and NEED community, they just are getting it more by engaging through the streams and threads and feeds more. A group provides a "location" and "hub" and though it may not get used a lot or by most, those that prefer it, even if they only do so "seasonally" (during slow times, low times etc) I want to have it as an option. I think I will keep a free group as a "feeder" community where I'll make my posts and offers and occassionally share some tips and tools as well as access to expert calls. ========================= *Digital Membership Access* ========================= The next level group will be $997 annually (297 quarterly) for all the course material, a monthly call with me or me + guest expert and hot seat or open hour zoom once a quarter plus I'll be around to answer questions if anyone asks. ========================= *Physical Membership Access* ========================= Most of my people enjoy being to work away from screens, especially when planning and mapping things out. I am going to create a quarterly package that will go out to paid members (this will be the above $997 annually plus an upgrade fee TBA once I get pricing info - probably around $149 a quarter or $500 annually). Still planning this all out and not set in stone but The package will contain: - the course in book form, likely bound as a spiral notebook with lines in the margins for writing notes. After the first package this will be a quarterly planning journal with mental reminders about the fundamental profit pillars. - A nice pen for notetaking - Highlighter set for notes - Sticky notes - but extra. And not the same every quarter. Something fun - Q4 - A desk calendar with a mixture of quotes, jokes, vocubulary, and journal prompts. The point of the variety is varied growth - and variation in your days. - A book of my choice that I feel has timeless wisdom or perspective - Some surprise gift to keep things fun

Hey guys, I've been really studying group engagement more (not just mine but others) and noticing that many seem to be very quiet unless they are in the several thousands in members. My primary goal is to create support for small business owners through content as well as be available to those who want more than content but a sounding board or occassionally mentor/advisor. That really doesn't require a group. If there's not conversation in the group, or it takes huge number to have that happening, I have to figure out how to help myself not get disuaded by the lack of energy. (I'm sharing this because it might be something some of you have considered for yourselves.) Something I was ponder is the lack of analytics in Skool. I can't measure reach. I don't know who logs in and sees things. With email I can see that. With other group platforms I can see that. With that data I at least have an idea of who's consuming content. (Which I've barely created, obviously... but I start measuring things from the beginning) Anyway, thought occurred to me to ask how you each prefer to consume content in general from someone you are interested in hearing from. Your inbox, or their platform wherever they are, whether it be a group, podcast or youtube channel. Would love if you could take a moment to cast a vote <3

I’ve had several reports of people attempting the assessment and then having issues getting bounced out. First - whatever you complete gets reported. The form uses what’s called pageination which means each question is its own page and so each answer gets captured and recorded for every page you fill out. Second - you SHOULD be able to go back and finish. Later today I’ll messsge any of you with incomplete assessments with a link, if I can, to complete. I’m also aware that a couple of questions have incorrect formatting. I’ll correct this. Tried to… failed 🤣 Lastly… some of these questions are hard and require digging deep. I will tell you the effort is worth it. If you’re not ready for that part, you CAN skip it. I believe it’s set to not required. Either way, partial forms get submitted so it’s still useful. Please post any comments, questions or issues here. I will respond to everyone ♥️

Keeping in mind that everything here is exploratory while I figure out frameworks, I realize that people participate ( and need space to do so) in different ways. So, rather than require a certain level of membership to attend the call, I'll open it to anyone who wishes to do so. I'd like to have an idea of who would like to attend and who's planning on it specifically.
