When you’re starting a business, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing everything to make it successful. You’re busy every day, creating content, tweaking your logo, or perfecting your social media feed. But here’s the truth: busyness isn’t the same as progress. 👉 The reality? If you’re not focused on getting people in the door aka “attracting customers” then you’re not building a business. You’re building a hobby. The #1 Priority for Any New Business When you’re just starting, your first job isn’t to make everything look perfect. It’s not to create 100 posts or obsess over fonts. Your job is this: Get people excited about what you’re offering. 💡 Imagine opening a lemonade stand. If no one knows it’s there, you’re not selling any lemonade, no matter how tasty it is or how cute your stand looks. The same goes for your business. You need to create awareness. Stop Avoiding the Hard Stuff 🛑 It’s easy to stay “busy” because it feels safe. But are you actually: ✅ Talking to potential customers? ✅ Promoting your offer consistently? ✅ Sharing how your business helps people solve their problems? If not, you’re probably avoiding the real work the work that brings in the money. Build Your Business While You Build Awareness Of course, you’ll need to create your course, program, or product. But don’t spend weeks or months building something no one knows about. Instead: 1. Outline Your Idea: Map out what your course or membership will offer. You don’t need it to be perfect to start promoting. 2. Focus on Awareness Daily: Share your idea, ask for feedback, and start building a waitlist. The goal is to have people lined up before you even launch. 3. Keep It Simple: Don’t let tasks like designing logos or picking colors distract you. A Little Tough Love 💪 At the end of the day, your business will only succeed if people actually want what you’re offering and are willing to pay for it. That means you need to spend less time “getting ready” and more time showing up and talking about what you’re building.

Let’s have some real talk about one of the biggest productivity killers, a lack of support and accountability. If you’ve been feeling like you’re spinning your wheels, starting strong but losing steam, you’re not alone. When you’re building your business, managing a household, and trying to stay on top of everything else, it’s easy to fall off track. Without a solid support system, sticking to your goals can feel impossible. 😓 But you don’t have to do it alone. 🎯 The Power of Accountability Right here, in Women Who Skool, you’ve got access to an amazing community of like-minded women who get it. Let’s leverage that! Here’s a quick action step to boost your productivity and stay consistent: 1️⃣ Pick one goal this week, just one. Make it specific and manageable.

If you’ve just started setting up your Skool community or are in the process of building it, I know you might be thinking: • “How do I get people to actually join?” • “What’s the best way to make money with my community?” • “How can I make this work when I barely have time?” Girl, I’ve been there, and I’m here to help simplify this for you. Let’s break it down so you can make moves toward that dream business without all the overwhelm. 💪 4 Keys to Growing a Skool Community That Actually Pays You 💸 1️⃣ Add Keywords to Your About Page If your Skool community is public, here’s the game-changer: your about page and posts are SEO-friendly, meaning they can show up on Google searches. 🎉 This is huge! Your about page is one of the first things Google picks up, so pack it with keywords your ideal audience is searching for, like: • “Meal planning tips for busy moms” • “Best tools for beginner graphic designers” • “DIY crafts to sell online” The same goes for your posts, when you’re sharing tips, stories, or resources, think about the keywords someone would type into Google to find your content. This makes your community easier to find AND positions you as the go-to expert in your niche. 2️⃣ Start with a Simple Free Offer People join communities when they feel like they’re going to get value immediately. What’s one quick win you can offer your audience? It could be a: • Mini-guide or checklist (think: “10 Steps to Start Your [Niche Topic]”). • Short video walking them through a simple process. • Free training that solves a specific problem. This will get your first members in the door and start building momentum. Keep it easy, you don’t need a fancy setup! 3️⃣ Make Your Community a Place People WANT to Be This is where the magic happens. Focus on creating an environment that feels like: ✅ A space for real conversations (ask questions, share your wins, and encourage others to do the same). ✅ A resource hub where they can find exactly what they need (tips, strategies, templates).

Let me ask you something: Are you holding back from starting your business because you feel like you’re “not an expert”? Maybe you’re thinking: ➡️ “Who would listen to me?” ➡️ “What if I don’t know enough?” ➡️ “Why would anyone pay me when there are already people who are better than me?” If that’s you, I have some GREAT news. 💡 You don’t need to be an expert to start a business—you just need to be YOU. Let me break this down: 💡 1. People Want Relatable Guides, NOT Untouchable Experts Most people aren’t looking for someone who’s 100 steps ahead of them. That feels intimidating! They want someone who gets it—who’s been where they are, understands their struggles, and can guide them step by step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just being one or two steps ahead is enough to help someone else. 💡 2. Your Lived Experience Is Your Biggest Asset Think about the challenges you’ve overcome or the things you’ve learned. ➡️ Did you figure out how to budget on a tight income? ➡️ Did you find a way to balance life as a busy mom? ➡️ Do you have a skill you’ve honed over time? Those experiences are GOLD. 🌟 You don’t need a fancy degree or 10 years of experience. What matters is that you care and are willing to help others succeed. 💡 3. Teach What You Know—Start Small and Grow You don’t have to start by teaching everything. Focus on what you already know and feel confident sharing. Over time, as you learn and grow, your ability to serve others will grow, too. It’s a journey, and your audience will love being part of it with you. 🔥 Here’s the Truth: You don’t have to be perfect to make an impact. You just need to be willing to show up, share what you know, and help someone take their next step. 🌟 Let’s Make This Real: What’s ONE thing you’re passionate about helping others with?
