Skool First 100 vs The Five Minute Investor

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.

Some reflections after a few weeks ...

Just reflecting on the last few weeks and what seems to be moving me forward and thought sharing might help others in the community: 1) Setting aside an hour a day - I’ve scheduled this and sticking to it has been transformative. These hours are sometimes while I go for a run, in gym, walk or trading after work when the alarms go off. 2) I’ve watched the training and some several times - each time I hear something I missed the precious times. 3) Paper trading every signal has just boosted my confidence with strategies but also building the repetitive habits and familiarity with TradingView and Interactive Brokers - I am getting quicker, accurate and more able to see errors and self correct. 4) I’ve watched all the coaching calls - listening has helped with the language, reinforcement and answers questions I have too. 5) The 90 day planning is golden - clarity and focus is power - goals are achieved one small step at a time. 6) Back testing has helped so much - confidence with preferred funds and strategies - I now know what is likely to give me the results I’m looking for. 7) Interactive Brokers is a bit daunting - aside from trading all signals in the paper account, I watched the IBKR training on their website and it has demystified the platform a bit more adding to my confidence. 8) Filling out the tracking sheet - this made a big difference to getting familiar with funds, premiums, returns, narrowing down to what fits my objectives. 9) So like how David and Beverley share their wisdom - done in a very accessible caring kind way. I do hope this helps.

The Most Comprehensive Option Available

I knew David and the extent of his knowledge for almost 5 years beforehand, and I am so glad he decided to create this course. He is one of the best teachers I know, same goes for Beverley, and their joined experience with money, with life, and with planning is included in The Five Minute Investor. I have been on trading courses before, traded for years in small amounts, but this is a game changing experience. Starting with a basic strategy was so easy, with all the tools needed explained, no extra charges or fees, everything I needed was included... then the Financial Independence calculator blew my mind... I had no idea how quickly I could make such a big difference to my life, and to my husband's too, as it really does take 5 mins per day once you're all set up. Now if we wanted to, and we want to, we could both stop working in 3 years with these strategies and we are both in our early 40s! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done myself, as I'm sure many others won't, and I will say to you all go to the course, do the work on all the free resources and your mind will be blown just like mine. I got the cost of the course back within 3 months, and I have multiple strategies now to learn and practice, that will serve me and my family for decades. For me the priorities were: the weekly coaching sessions (being a coach myself and knowing it's very effective), security for me and my family, and the freedom of my own choices for the rest of my life. David and Beverley gave me all that, and now keep me on track by offering 90 Day Planning every quarter, which I find invaluable. I use the tools from 5 Minute Investor in others aspects of my life, introduce relatives to it, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become an investor, or to find a passive income, or to retire early, or just to secure all they have and keep it safe and growing, or all the above. Thank you David and Beverley for creating this gem or financial knowledge.
