Community Builders HQ is one of the most valuable communities I have joined on...
Community Builders HQ is one of the most valuable communities I have joined on Skool. Lidia does not simply share generic advice about growing a community. She takes the time to understand what you are building, identify what is not working, and help you find practical solutions. She recently spent an hour with me diagnosing the problems in my communities. She asked thoughtful questions, challenged my assumptions, and helped me see issues I had been too close to recognize on my own. I left the conversation with greater clarity, a stronger strategy, and a much better understanding of what I needed to change. The community itself is filled with useful guidance, honest feedback, and people who genuinely want to help one another succeed. It is an excellent place for anyone who is serious about building, growing, or monetizing an online community. For anyone who has joined the free community but has not upgraded to the paid membership, you are missing out on an incredible amount of additional value. The personalized support and deeper insights alone make it worthwhile.

Lidia Axe's 30 Day Hackathon was the tonic I needed to help me kick start a new online business
Lidia Axe's 30 Day Hackathon was the tonic I needed to help me kick start a new business. Her step by step approach enabled me to quickly build the solid foundations needed for a successful skool community. I love her approach to keeping things simple and she is totally without the BS hype that "2 minute gurus" espouse as the only way to run an online business...very refreshing and the way to build trust.

Woo hoo! I finally reached 100 members ๐
Woo hoo! I finally reached 100 members ๐ Big thanks to @Lidia Axe and her 30-Day Skool Hackathon. One thing Lidia really helped me with was getting out of my own head. I tend to overthink a lot when it comes to my community, but she always gave me clear, actionable steps to focus on instead of trying to figure everything out at once. Looking back, I honestly think it was her guidance, feedback and the little tweaks along the way that helped me reach 100+ members today. Thanks again, Lidia ๐

Trust is a key word
The biggest thing I love about this group is that it's James' group. And I've known James for many months now as a coincidental member in my community. And over those many months, I've known James to always show up, to always be active, and to always be here, asking questions. And having recently joined James' group, and starting my dream of writing a script, which I've never even considered (James confidence inspires me). I know that I'm in the right place and in the right hands. And I have full and complete faith in James and his ability to not only write fantastic scripts. But also to show-up as a coach that can help anybody get to the next level. Even someone like me that has never written more than a few haiku's. I just cant understand why this group is free, but while it is - jump in, the water is warm, the palm trees singing in the island breeze and the gentle waves lap these shores, while we sip margaritas in cozy hammocks, imagining what might one day be....in a script.
