Are you positively contributing to the wider Skool community?
Let's say you were invited to a house party where you didn't know the host. You were greeted with a cold drink as you arrived. There was great music and conversations and everyone was so friendly The BBQ was on in the garden and they had your favourite sauce for the chicken After a day of eating, drinking and lots of great company you left with a full belly and a happy heart (and a bit tipsy from all the free drinks). Would you leave that party without thanking the host? Now let's say these BBQ's at this house become a regular thing... Would you then turn up the next time and ignore the host on arrival and again not say thank you? Would you turn up a 3rd time and again not bring a bottle of wine or something for the BBQ, but still eat, drink and be merry for hours? I would like to say the answer is no and that you have more manners than that! But here's my question... Are you having those same manners and common curtesy when you enter someones Skool group (which in essence is their virtual party they have spend time, money and love to host)? Or are you never stopping to say hello, let alone "thank you for having me"? Or how about with creators in here who are answering your questions, or sharing their knowledge? I know there are a lot of generous and heart led creators in here who give so much of their time and knowledge away for free. I also know so many of us do give back to others and show thanks. and I am also seeing and hearing of a self-entitlement from some people who are just wanting to take from others and are not giving as much as they are receiving. I don't want Skool to become like this. I want this community to be one full of people who care about the success of the collective. If you have had people on Skool who have gifted you advice, free training, access to free groups, or access to calls/coaching here are a few things you can do to give back: - Thank someone who takes the time to give you free advice in here/Skool Games - Say thank you and hello when you are let into a free Skool group - Show appreciation for any free resources you access inside a group. Don't just watch/read them but say nothing. Example - "that training was super helpful, thank you so much for sharing with us." - If you attend free calls, thank them for hosting. - Recommend people to those who have helped / tell your friends. - Purchase something from the classroom that is within your budget - Ask them is there anything specific you can do to support them.
