OOOFFF... I've been proper down a rabbit hole this morning and honestly I wasn't even planning on writing about this⦠Me little brain just started doing brain things over coffee and I ended up having this really juicy convo starter inside š§šš ššššš„š¢š¢š about why people drop off communities, courses, challenges... all that kinda stuff... and then I realised... hang on a minute... this isn't actually about communities at all. š§šµš¶š š¶š š®šÆš¼šš š£šš¢š£šš. šš'š š®šÆš¼šš šµš¼š š¼ššæ šÆšæš®š¶š»š šš¼šæšø. And honestly I think understanding THIS will make U better at business than another bloody marketing strategy ever will⦠Because have U ever noticed how ridiculously excited we get at the beginning of stuff? New business. New planner. New gym. New community. New course. New mentor. New notebook etc etc because apparently buying another notebook is gonna solve all our problems We get SO buzzing. āYup defo this is it." "This is gonna change everything." "I'm ALL IN." Then... well... life does lifen doesn't it Couple of days later the dog's been sick vom, or someone's emailed, U've got washing to do eewww, your kid needs picking up, U're just tired af, U've forgotten where U even put the bloody notebook and suddenly the thing U were SO excited about is sat there gathering dust. And here's the thing... years ago I'd have called people flaky. I probably would've said people don't commit. Buuuuttt? I don't actually believe that's what's happening anymore. I reckon this is where we accidentally stitch ourselves up. We watch something... read something... listen to something... and we think "OOOFFF... that's bloody brilliant stuff⦠I'll do that tomorrow." Then tomorrow becomes Wednesday. Wednesday becomes next week. Next week becomes..."Ahhh fck it... I'm behind now." Tell me U've never done that because I know I bloody have heaps. Loads of times. And the mad bit is... nothing actually changed. The training didn't get harder. The community didn't change.
