CLUB RULES

& FAQ'S

You just joined a club that’s not here to talk theory.

We’re here to take action.

The Small Biz Book Club is a space for ambitious 9-to-5 escape artists and struggling entrepreneurs ready to implement the wisdom from the world’s best business books.

This isn’t a scroll-and-forget group.

It’s a space for clarity, accountability, and momentum. 💥

To make this a place of progress, here’s how we roll…

📜 Our Club Rules

  1. Take action over perfection.

Implementation is everything.

Even a small step forward is worth more than passive learning.

  1. Be respectful & solution-oriented.

We’re here to build each other up.

Critique is welcome—negativity, trolling, or disrespect is not.

  1. No spam, self-promo, or shady DMs.

If you wouldn’t shout it at a live event, don’t post or DM it here.

Spam = immediate removal.

  1. Give before you ask.

Share value, offer insight, celebrate others.

Build credibility before requesting support.

  1. Stay on topic.

Our focus is book implementation, business growth, and mindset mastery. Keep posts aligned.

  1. Celebrate your wins (big or small).

Progress posts keep the energy high and help others see what’s possible. We want your wins!

  1. Ask questions—but only after searching first.

Use the 🔍 search bar. If you don’t find what you need, post clearly and you’ll get quality answers.

  1. Engage like it’s your gym.

You only grow if you show up. Comment, post, and check in at least weekly.

  1. Protect the culture.

If you see something off, say something.

This is your tribe too.

  1. Respect the privacy.

What’s shared in the club stays in the club—unless you have permission to share it.

📜 FAQ’s

Where do I start?

Go through the Fast Five onboarding checklist & be sure to schedule you new member call to get tailored instructions on how to get the most from this community.

Do I need to read the whole book?

Nope! You can use the audio overview, study guide, FAQ, or NotebookLM mind map to implement without reading cover-to-cover.

What if I fall behind?

That’s normal. This is a choose-your-pace experience. Don’t ghost—just check back in and take the next step.

How often do we start new books?

Every month, we launch a new Business Book and a new Personal Development Book. You can choose one or both.

What support do I get with each book?

You’ll get an AI activation prompt, implementation worksheet, audio summary, a book breakdown, and access to live calls.

How do I track what I’ve done?

Use the Implementation Tracker in the Skool platform to log your progress and stay accountable.

What kind of events happen each month?

We host live Q&A calls, expert guest interviews, co-working sessions, and local networking meetups in select cities.

Can I promote my own business or offer?

Only inside designated “Promo Days” or challenge threads. Otherwise, build value before you pitch.

Can I message other members?

Yes, but be respectful and non-spammy. Use DMs to connect, not to sell.

What if someone breaks the rules?

Flag the post or message a mod. We protect this space fiercely.

How do I cancel my membership?

You can cancel anytime through your billing dashboard—no hard feelings. Just let us know how we could’ve helped more.

I have tech issues—who do I contact?

Use the “Tech Help” form in Skool or email us at [email protected]

How can I make the most of this?

Show up. Post. Ask. Implement. The more you engage, the more momentum you’ll build.

This isn’t just a book club.

It’s a launchpad for $1M+ business owners in the making.

Let’s grow together.
