Context first, because it’s important , I’m not new to online business… Since April 2023 I’ve generated over $250,000 US, one mini-project at a time. I know how to run a business. I help other people figure out theirs. And I still could not see my own community clearly. I knew there was something missing, I could even pinpoint what leaks I wanted to fix. I couldn’t figure out how. (Before April 2023 for 8 years I generated about $20K on average if that, so no I’m not an overnight success, I’m slow burn learner, but when I get something I run with it) But I digress, what happens when you’re inside the thing, you get blinders. And it isn’t that you don’t know. (That could be too actually) It’s that you have never once stood outside your own business and looked back at it from a very different perspective. We all are way too close to our business. I came off Skool Games at $10K MRR. It settled at about $7,500 including annuals, so roughly $4,500 a month recurring with the rest already collected up front. Solid numbers. But I knew there was a leak in how people move from free to premium, because while 99 people joined premium , I have 4500 members and I could not find on my own, how to structure onboarding and day to day so that they see opportunities to upgrade throughout without me shouting it. So on July 20th I booked a 1:1 with Brenda. (YES she offers them still - run don’t walk and book it) Not because I want her business model. I don’t want summits and bundles every other month. I do summits twice a year and that is plenty for me. I wanted her to see my community from her expert sharp eyes. Because the way she moves people from free to premium to VIP is the smoothest I have ever seen. Gentle and firm at the same time. Easter eggs tucked into every corner so people upgrade because they want to, not because she is standing there pitching at them every single week. Two hours later I had ten pages of action items. Not scribbles. Real do-this-next items. I have implemented maybe one page of the ten.

This summit stuff is working already. My community just hit 300 members and the summit isn't until next month. We haven't even started the kick off promotion! I'm so excited for everything I'm learning here. Thank you @Brenda Rigney for your invaluable mentorship and thank you @Katya McEwen for bring me here and getting me hooked on summits.

Some of you probably recognize this phrase from somewhere. I decided put it into action in my community and in my life. Here's what happened. I was invited to participate in a summit. Thank you @Katya McEwen for the amazing opportunity. I didn't tell people come to the summit. I told them how excited I was to have manifested a speaker spot in the summit. I won the opportunity to offer a bonus session for being the speaker with the most affiliate LLV. The summit participation attracted new members to my community. One thing I learned at the summit was that I needed a business coach. Since I've moved 85% of my business to skool, I needed a skool community coach. When @Brenda Rigney spoke at the summit, I immediately knew I had attracted my coach. I teach people how to clear money blocks and I still have money blocks of my own to clear. One of my biggest blocks was charge value for value. Translation charging for the right price. I had no idea I was losing members and clients by charging too little. Scarcity mindset had me believing that I couldn't over charge. Here was my thinking, "I wouldn't pay that much for...". Of course I wouldn't! I didn't need it, why would I pay for it? When I recognized what I was willing to pay for similar services, it hit me. I'm not going to a $50 Reiki healer, why would I charge $50 for a reading or a coaching session. My business coach had told me the right people will pay the right price. I increased my prices by 70% overnight. I got more clients not less and my regular clients stayed. I even have 3 staff members on commission. Two of whom asked to join me. The other thing that changed was I became more willing to jump in at prices that scared me off before. I joined premium memberships in communities I was invested in. I signed up for VIP with @Brenda Rigney without batting an eye. I became the member I want to attract and it's working.
