Compact Value + Encouragement are 🔥
Andrew Kirby and Aidan are always looking for ways to provide more value in the most easily understandable and compact format. This makes it easy for anyone to find something helpful! The community is full of other encouraging members and if you want to meet other great Skoolers and cheer each other on this is a great place to do that. You might meet your new inner circle here! I've been here since Oct 2024 and it's definitely a community that I'd actively choose to stay up to date with even when I'm busy with other life stuff.

The Tutorial for the Great Online Game
I've been trying to make money online for the past 5 years, and with the help of this community, I got my first HT client after 3 weeks. The roadmap is a perfect summary of everything I have tried and showed me every mistake I could have avoided. (Selling LT, creating content too early, not having proof) If you actually follow the roadmap, it is unreasonable not to succeed. But it is not just about making money. I met some of my best friends here and even started a co-living experience with some. Together, we can change the world while getting paid.

What you put in you truly get back.
What you put in you truly get back. It seems like everyone authentically gets involved and it seems to be ever growing. I keep approaching this community as someone learning as opposed to someone teaching (and/or educating) but as I level up in this space, I'm starting to get a tad more comfortable with being myself here. Thank you, Heather, for what you are doing with this community and platform! 💚💚💚

DOES WHATIT SAYD ON THE TIN
Does exactly what it says on the Tin. 😄 I'll be honest, I came in sceptical. Skool's full of "directories" that are really just a wall of dropped links and dead threads. This isn't that. The Directory on Skool is the first one I've been in that actually understands the difference between posting and connecting. The networking games, the messaging prompts, the searchable listings, it's all built to get you seen by the right people, not just seen. I stopped shouting into the void and started having actual conversations. Part visibility hub, part networking playground, part genuine community and no awkward name badges in sight. If you're tired of promoting into silence and want your business in front of people who'll actually engage with it, get in there. Does exactly what it says on the Tin. 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The owner/leader of this community is personally welcoming and extremely responsive. This community’s has a large amount of members and Heather still makes sure to make your experience inside feel unique. The structure of the community is genius! Incredibly easy to navigate, and engage in. I first entered this space as a buyer/looker. When I was ready to transition to being community owner myself I knew exactly where to find guidance and advice. Everyone inside here is so honest and helpful. When I was ready I upgraded to the extremely affordable premium plan and it has given my community the exposure it needed. If you are looking for a supportive community that offers affordable visibility options for your community or business, this is the one for you!! Come join us and become part of a large networking family.
