If you've been around for a bit and read any of my comments about my favorite feature, then you know it's the Calendar (insert the sound of angels singing). Yesterday, I had a call with my paid community that was a great example of why I love the Calendar so much.. it was a bit chaotic or thanks to @John Felice a bit ZESTY, but really packed full of gold.. (their words not mine lol) But I had a couple pause moments where I had that realization of how grateful I am for Skool, especially the fun factor and how much FREEDOM it gives me. 🙌 One of the moments was where I was explaining that there may be noise in the background for a few seconds, because I was making a balloon animal (technically, a balloon sword) for my little one. Like this is a paid community call and I have set up my life in a way that allows me to pause and make sure my little one is still feeling like his mommy is here for him too. Being a present mom is part of why I do this and it was great to have that awareness moment. (I've had it once before when I was having a coffee chat standing on top of a dump truck load of sand/dirt. 😅) The other moment was when one of the members was listing off a recap of what we had gone through and they used the nickname the group has created for me which is GOATmother. Now.. I don't fully know how this nickname came about. I just woke up one day and saw I was getting called the "GOATmother 🐐" in comments and posts. (Edit: It was @Joe DeFilippo who started this name!) But it's a reminder that one of the fun parts of a community is these inside jokes or nicknames, and this is likely something that would not happen outside of a fun platform like Skool. Today, I saw that a member had made a Loom sharing his level 5 key takeaway, while playing the guitar because someone else challenged him to do it. It was so cool to me that I threw it on my About Page. Why not? 🤷‍♀️ Then a pop up coffee chat led to one client practicing a pitch and it led to them getting their first $99/m paying member. All while I had kids begging for more peaches in the background lol There are no chiseled in stone rules of how to make this "work". You have freedom to be creative and be fun. To test things out and to show up authentically.

I built this extension to make it easier for everyone to save and organize their favorite posts on Skool! You can get it for free here Hope it helps! 😄

Has anyone thought about doing a shared office space for IRL Skool co-working and solo away from home working like a wework kind of thing? While we wait for the maps feature to launch Skool-wide... hit the comments and let's go IRL for the holidays 🎅🏼👇🏼

What is the feature you use the most on Skool as a community owner? Comment you why after Placing your vote, I am very interested in your perspective.

Well I did it again.. I accidentally hit “Mark All As Read” on the mobile version for my messages. 😭 Yes, I should probably not be working on catching up on messages at 1:30am. But hear me out: My toddler is finally asleep after being sick all day & I wanted to feel productive. I would LOVE if the Mark All As Read button either had an undo ↩️ button or a pop up asking if I am sure. If I’m MIA all day tomorrow, I’m trying to find all the messages I need to respond to. 🙏
