Skool Helped Me Find a Mentor and Change My Life!

Here's the story of how joining this community helped me leave the Latin American film industry to build a business that changes lives. 🙂

At the start of this year, I decided to find a mentor to help me launch and grow an online education business because I strongly wanted to make a real difference, not just trade time for money.

I was running a DFY service for clients I didn’t like, managing teams and projects that drained my creativity.

I worked supervising post-production workflows for movies. I managed color grading and editing for big clients like Netflix, Amazon, Vogue, and GQ.

The money was good, but there was no spiritual reward. Some of the videos I was making, especially for Vogue, went against my values and life philosophy.

I convinced myself I was happy because of my connections in the Latin American film industry. But the truth was, it sucked: long hours with no real impact.

By "real" impact, I mean the kind that fills both your soul and your wallet – ifkyk.

At the same time, I had been binge-watching Sam Ovens' YouTube channel. I had discovered it four years ago and secretly hoped I could one day become a business consultant, helping others manifest their dreams with online entrepreneurship.

One day, after a rough day where I had too many coffees and got caught up in the hustle mindset, I went into crisis mode and realized I wanted to build something that truly excited me and helped me get into flow state easily.

The next morning, I joined Skool, just to see how coaches and consultants were using the platform.

I saw Ted Carr was number one on the Skool Community leaderboard with 5x more points than anyone else. I joined his free Contentpreneurs group on the spot and went through his “P’s of Clarity” and other free docs and videos.

Ted’s content gave me hope. It made me feel like business consulting wasn’t a distant dream.

The next day, I booked a call with his team and met Benny. I connected with him right away and could tell he was a super solid guy. I knew this was the program I needed.

Ted and his team helped me share my expertise in content and creativity with others. Ted showed me how to train people and get past my limiting beliefs about sharing my knowledge as a business owner.

I began a journey toward freedom and fulfillment, something I had been seeking for a long time.

Long story short: I made $9,000 in my first 30 days and learned the secrets of constantly making money online by helping people for free.

What I love most is having clients who thank me for changing their lives, something the "big players" I used to work with never did. They rarely even said thanks, lol!

Someone else runs my post-production studio now, and I get to focus on building my personal brand as an online business consultant, helping entrepreneurs succeed.

Here’s a picture of one of the first pages of my 2024 journal. This journal only has a few blank pages left. It’s now packed with gems of wisdom from all my Skool experiences so far. It reads:

Feb 5 – “Reached level 6 on Skool! I love my new life. I enjoy 100% what I’m doing. Helping others feels amazing. I won’t stop growing. Every minute counts. I want to push harder. I want to move faster. While enjoying the process and loving my family.”

Feb 7 – “On Feb 1st, the day of The Skool games inauguration ceremony, I closed my first HT program to *****. $5k USD upfront. The first one is always the hardest one. And yesterday, Feb 6th, I helped my beta client (Alexander) close his first $1k HT program. Two huge wins in the same week!!!”

None of this would have happened without Skool. (Thank you, Sam!)

None of this would’ve happened without Ted and his team.

Shoutout to Benny and Yelina too, you guys are awesome.

Contentpreneurs changed my life.

Thank you, Ted!

*PS. If Skool has helped you change your life in a way that fills both your soul and your wallet, I’d love to hear your story. Let’s connect in the comments!
