Skool Coaching Group

Can a focused paid community create recurring value without turning into a content treadmill?

A private community where local business owners get group coaching calls, playbooks, and peer accountability. High-touch enough to charge real money, group-based enough to fit inside about six hours a week of calls, student support, and lesson creation. The one that got serious.

This group is private and invite-only; Mini Hustles just keeps its ledger. If you want to run your own experiment alongside me, that's the Lab.

INHERITED ADVANTAGEThe founding members came largely from my Local Business MBA audience, and years of running local businesses shortened the offer. A first-timer would have to earn that trust from scratch. The cost of building that audience is not charged to this experiment.
WHAT THE NUMBER HIDESThe $4,500 is what is collected now, after churn. Much of the early growth came from an audience I already had.
CURRENT CONSTRAINTRetention, not acquisition. The next round has to prove members keep making progress without an endless stream of new material from me.
The arc so far

It is collecting $4,500/mo right now, after churn, in about six hours a week across calls, student support, and lesson creation. The week-by-week history publishes here as the ledger fills. Nothing gets backdated, and nothing shows on this page before it has actually happened.

Notes about this experiment
JUL 06Churn week. One member left, one paused while his business wobbles, one is upgrading to 1-on-1. The MRR line goes down and the business gets healthier. Both are true.
JUN 08Raised prices, lost nobody. Braced for outrage. Got two "about time" replies and zero cancellations.
