I am so proud of what we're building at GrowthCommunity.
After 3 years, I'm more fired up than ever. But tbh... when I first committed to go all in, I was scared because...
• Would I get bored doing the same thing over and over again?
• Is Community and working ONLY on Circle a big enough TAM?
• Can I charge enough doing this?
• Would I get beaten out by 3rd world freelancers on UpWork charging $50 to "set up Circle"? (I saw ads for this)
• Is cutting off 99% of all other opportunities a good idea??
• What if I picked wrong?!?
Well, I'm so happy to say that I picked right.
And something amazing happened.
I opened up a portal to another universe.
Let me explain.
As I started digging deeper into the software, working with more clients, some amazing things started to happen...
I realized the value isn't in the "tech" setup (i.e. pushing buttons) -- it's necessary, sure.
But there's an infinite world of strategy involved.
• How to price, position and package your offer
• How to create the best architecture for organic engagement
• How to structure a world class onboarding experience
• How to leverage someone's experience into a course, coaching program & community for maximum impact and income.
So as I kept digging, the rabbit hole kept getting deeper and deeper.
We started asking better and deeper questions.
We started building frameworks and processes and templates to do our jobs better and faster.
Which means we can serve more clients, at a higher rate, with a high quality outcome for them.
The more clients we work with, the more and better ideas we get, the more examples of success we've seen, more best practices we develop and deploy across more communities in more niches.
It's a virtuous flywheel -- and I love it.
I used to think I need variety to scratch my itch and keep me interested.
Then I realized I just needed bigger, deeper more valuable problems to solve.
And the joy and satisfaction of helping more people solve them is unreal.
3 years into this journey I'm more fired up than ever.
I have a big vision for how we're going to grow to a $3-9m company of the next couple years, offering a suite of DIY, DWY and DFY services to help thousands of creators build thriving community businesses.
A major shift has happened since I started sharing all this publicly.
I can feel the support, the encouragement and the interest from so many others.
So thank you for riding along with us.
Let's enjoy the ride ✌️
