Hello everyone, I am super grateful to everybody who has joined here and given me great feedback. I've been doing a lot of introspection lately, and I feel like I've honed in on exactly the kind of value that I want to give to the world. But I'm going to need your help to do it. That means this community will be closing and a new one will be opening. Selfishly, I'm making the kind of community that I need more than anything. And that's one where a passionate and small group of community builders holds each other accountable to their goals every day. // When I was fortunate enough to join a small startup called monday.com as employee #1 in the US, even later when we went public, every manager I had always attributed my success in many parts to a few simple superpowers that weren't special or even hard. 1- I always knew how to celebrate the success of something before I started anything. Every time I forgot to do this, the project ended up as a disaster. That's why I had a work journal. 2- I was able to transfer my excitement to my team about even the most mundane things, like project management software. That's why I got good at finding and telling stories. 3- I learned that everything was a system. And anything that didn't have a system was doomed to fail. But even with the best systems, if you don't adhere to them or don't have them built and integrated into your life, they will deteriorate. Our greatest enemy is entropy. Once I left the corporate world and started working for myself, I left many of those systems behind, and entropy crept in. After speaking with over a hundred community builders, I realized the simple truth. A vast majority of us know what we need to be doing, or just need a little bit more knowledge. The hard part is sticking to it through the good days and the bad. // So that's what this new community will be about. It will be about making a commitment to yourself to grow and utilize these systems that I have refined over the past 10 years of community building and over 30k spent on coaching.

Do you guys ask for permission to DM someone in your reply posts? Or do you just DM them straight up to see if they're suitable?

Matt, I know you said my about page, my “offer “wasn’t very good, (correctly stated)…I was thinking of immediately offering a free half hour drum lesson, and also immediately adding a private one hour lesson opportunity for $80… just curious if you agree, this would be a good idea. Does anyone have any thoughts on why I should or shouldn’t put these two offers up right away?

In your experience, what skill makes the biggest difference in helping clients achieve results — mindset, strategy, or execution? I’d love to hear different perspectives!”
