@Max Krenke asked me the following question this week in the What would support you Post "Would love to hear about your own progress with your community and how you are growing and achieving what you are achieving and your mindset behind it!" - Max Honestly, it’s been a real process, not clean or linear at all. The community has gone through a lot of iteration from Unfolding, Moonshot Unfolding, and now Next Level Founders. From the outside that might look like I was changing direction, but for me it’s been more of a refinement process. -Unfolding was just bringing the how I do the work but did not articulate what outcome someone would have. -Moonshot Unfolding spoke about more of a vague goal. -Next Level Founders was create with about 20 hours of deep work with a coach that articulated better the avitar and what they were looking to achieve. Getting closer and closer to language that actually meets people where they are, without losing the depth of what I’m here to do. This work matters to me and I want to share the vast richness of what it has done for my life from a personal side and from a business side. I would trade every dollar I ever earned for the peace it has brought me. (This is for another post though or this will go on forever) A big challenge for me has been how to communicate this work. I’ve always known it’s deeper than strategy, it’s about who you are being, what you’re able to hold, how you relate to yourself, especially as things grow. But translating that into something people can immediately feel and say yes to has taken time (years). There were definitely moments where I felt like I was saying something true, but it just wasn’t landing the way I wanted it to. That is as much repeating it as it is playing in the space right with it. Skool has given me that space to play and get feedback faster. My growth strategy was not locked in and I just tried what others tried to begin with. Networked, teamed up, paid for some ads. No clear strategy, just trying things out.

Community is so important in helping us get to the next level. Who could you go to for help or support to help you in the next phase of your journey?

Reinvention doesn't happen all at once. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Still carrying pieces of who they were while figuring out who they're becoming. So honestly, which version of you shows up most often right now? Take your pick 👇🏻 and drop a quick comment if you wish to share more 🙏🏻

I’ve been playing with bringing something back that I’ve run in the past. A small group of founders, all in their own “next level” moment, coming together consistently. Not just to talk strategy, but to actually see what’s underneath what’s happening in your business and how you’re showing up inside of it. Not a mastermind. Not traditional group coaching. I’d call it a Next Level Circle. A space where: You bring what’s actually going on in your business We slow down enough to see what’s really there And you leave different, not just with ideas, but with a shift in how you’re relating to it all I ran this with a group of founders in the past and it supported them in a big way. So I’m curious… Who would be interested in something like this if I opened a few spots?

I remember being burnt out, anxious, and completely disconnected. Not from work. From myself. That's what happened when I was pushing so hard, all day, and wanting .. more like needing to see business results fast. When this didn't happen, I was caught in that loop. It's still something I keep in check for myself these days so I no longer fall into that trap. I know how easy it'd be to slip back in those waters. That's the kind of burnout nobody talks about late at night and is real. How about you? Ever experienced it and how do you strive to keep that burnout in check?
