Now, hold your horses… I’m NOT saying you should copy anything word for word. But what if you could take something that’s already proven to work for someone else and put your own unique spin on it? That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Why do this? Simple. If a strategy, format, or idea has worked recently for someone else, there’s a high chance it will work for you, too! You’re not reinventing the wheel - you’re building on something that’s already shown results. This way, you save yourself from the constant pressure of “What should I do next?” or stressing over creating something groundbreaking every time... Instead, you’re leveraging what’s already been successful and tailoring it to fit your voice and audience! It’s not about copying. It’s about taking inspiration, adding your twist, improving it and making it work for you. P.S. Do you like these shorter posts or do you prefer the longer ones? Let me know below!

I’m beyond thrilled to share this win, my community has officially hit 100 amazing members! 🎊 This journey has been about more than just numbers, it’s about building a space where like-minded individuals come together to learn, grow, and support each other. 🌟 Reaching this milestone feels like the beginning of something even bigger. 💡 Now, I want to ask you: - What has been your biggest takeaway or win from being part of a community? - What do you think makes a community truly thrive? Let’s open up the conversation and share some insights. Whether you’re running your own community or a proud member of one, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Next milestone is 250 before 2025 🙌

Now, I get it... You might be thinking a free community isn’t worth the hassle. Maybe you worry it’s too much work, or you feel what you offer is too valuable to give away for free. Valid points, for sure, but hear me out. Even if you have a large, warm audience, a free community can still bring a whole new level of opportunity. Why? I’m glad you asked. Here’s the breakdown: 1. Lower financial risk for new members Your free community acts as a "trial run" for potential clients. No pressure, no payments - they can simply explore what you offer without any initial financial risk. This eases them in and lowers their guard, making it so much easier for them to connect with you. When they feel comfortable, they’re way more likely to stick around and consider upgrading. 2. It nurtures leads naturally Let’s face it, trust takes time, especially online. Here’s how a free community helps with that: - Builds Trust → People get to see you in action. For those unfamiliar with you, a free community builds trust through consistent, valuable content. - Creates Relatability → They get to know you - not just as a business owner but as someone who understands their needs and goals. When they relate to you, your paid offerings become far more appealing. - Keeps Risk Low → People can test the waters with zero commitment. And when they start seeing results or gaining value, they’ll be more open to joining your paid community. 3. Stays in ongoing contact Unlike a one-time product or consultation, a community creates regular touchpoints. You can share updates, drop valuable insights, and keep them engaged long-term. This ongoing relationship builds loyalty and keeps you on their radar without direct selling. 4. Collects valuable leads with email access Every new community member is a potential client, and now you have a direct line to them. Through email, you can nurture the relationship, share exclusive insights, and present offers naturally. Even if they’re not highly active in the community, this connection helps foster trust and keeps the door open.

When I started my first community, I stumbled a lot. But there was one mistake… one that topped them all. The thing is, it wasn’t just me. I’ve seen so many others fall into this same trap, time and time again. It’s not that they don’t see the problem, either. Most of them know exactly what’s holding them back... but they keep at it anyway. Why? Because it feels right. It seems logical in their heads. But here’s what I found out: The moment I let go of this one mistake, everything shifted. In just 60 Days of launching my community, I went from zero to $2,158 in MRR. And no, I wasn’t running ads, didn’t have a big following, and wasn’t churning out endless content. So what’s the game-changer? Simple: 1 niche, 1 avatar. Back then, I thought the way to grow was to cast the widest net possible - to try to help as many people as I could. And sure, that’s a way to do it. But here’s what I didn’t get: when you try to serve multiple niches and avatars, you’re constantly scattered. Your focus splits, and so does your growth. You’re always juggling new strategies, piecing together systems, and trying to solve unique problems for each group. But the moment you zone in on just one niche, one avatar, you get 100% focus. That’s when you build something rock-solid. First, you nail down how to get traffic. Then, you figure out conversions. Next, you refine how you deliver your service. Finally, you work on retention. Look at any successful leader - people like Alex Hormozi, Sam Ovens. They all talk about this. It’s no secret, but so many people skip over it. So here’s the real question: Are you going to be the person who learns from their own mistakes, or the one who learns from others? Let me know in the comments! 👇

So here's my weekly update on what I've been doing, what's worked and what hasn't worked!!! Here are some stats first: - MRR = $2.3k - Free Members = 374 - Paid Members = 119 (8 on Free Trial) - YouTube Subs = 71 - YouTube Videos = 16 - Skool Followers = 904 What's working: - I've been following up at least 3 times a week with members inside my free community. I'm mainly using "bumps" ("Just bumping this up in case you missed it ^^") and GIFs to get people to reply. I'm getting quite a few people answer as they like my determination in getting a reply or because they found the GIF funny! This is translating to more bookings which is great! I will occasionally send a "shocker" message to those stubborn members who are active but ignore my messages. Had a few of them answer which was good ahahahah. - Been getting higher quality people on my calls since I've started being even more specific about my target avatar! Been making changes to my messaging and everything else to reflect this which has helped a bunch! - Free Trials have been working somewhat... As per usual, my expectations didn't meet reality as I thought I would have a loooot more people signing up for it but I was wrong. Nevertheless, now that I've been brought back down to earth, it really isn't that bad... I've only been running it for a week and so far I've had 1 person convert into a paying member which is great! Gonna keep pushing this and see how it goes. It's not my favourite to run with ads but time will give me a better strategy as I keep testing out new things. - Consistency... These first 10 days of November have been tough... Until today I hadn't made any sales besides new free trials starting. That hasn't stopped me from pushing on and testing new strategies!!! As I see it, this is a small wall that I'm breaking away to get to the next wall a few hundred miles away so no biggie! What hasn't been working: - Free Trials - Yes, I know that I just said it's working but not all of it. I'm noticing that a lot of people I'm getting do 1 of 2 things... They either join and don't do anything OR they join, cancel the membership immediately so they don't get automatically billed at the end of the 7 days and also don't do anything. I can't be the only one experiencing this?? 🤔
