Absolutely Amazing!!!
I was having some problems finding my customers, but Martin made me realize that I wasn't having problems with that, I was having problems with my thoughts. I won't give away his secret (he gave me a gold nugget), but I will say that his method basically gave me an insight into what Ido that will make customers gravitate towards it because I not only KNOW my "why", I understand it on a whole new level. A million thanks to the man Martin Betz! I'm looking forward to continuing my work with him!!

From Interest to Intent, With Trust
This community helped me see sales and customer understanding through a much more precise lens. The discussions improve how you qualify, how you message, and how you move from interest to intent, while keeping a human and trust-based approach. If you are serious about understanding what your customers truly want and turning that into clearer offers and better decisions, Creating Progress is worth your time.

Worth joining
I joined through a recommendation and I have to say that this community is just fabulous. You get top-notch content, it is very well facilitated and most of all you learn a lot about about your customer, positioning yourself and your offerings and how to sell yourself in a better way to increase your revenue.

Practical, Action-First Community Building Without the Hype
What I like most about Lidia’s Community Builders HQ is that it feels built around doing, not just learning. The promise is very clear - get your first 100 members on Skool in 30 days - and the community backs that up with a practical path, templates, live growth events, and support around the things community builders actually need to figure out. I also appreciate Lidia’s style. She keeps things simple, gives direct feedback, and doesn’t hide behind theory or “secret formulas.” There’s a strong build while learning mindset throughout the group, which I think is exactly what most newer community owners need. Another thing that stands out is the amount of real proof around the community. Member wins, reviews, and visible results make it easier to trust that this isn’t just another collection of lessons sitting in a classroom. For coaches, experts and educators who want to build a Skool community and actually get people into it, this is a very solid place to start. 5 stars from me - practical, generous, and focused on progress over noise ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless.
Lidia's energy and commitment to her members is boundless. She's just not happy until her people see success too. The thing I love about this community is that it's not just telling you HOW to build, but Lidia's actually modeling what it takes to do it. Nothing fake, no "easy buttons", no BS, no smoke and mirrors. Just practical, transparent, real talk and action. Highly recommend!

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.
