It's happening right now. I love a good case study. It's always fun to read about some cool stuff that happened in the past that was successful. But right now in this community? We're a part of a LIVING case study. For all of those who want to retire now-er with one community in one hour per day? The playbook is being built right in front of our eyes in this very group! If you don't know how to build your own community... I'd invite you to get MORE from this one that you are already in. How do you get more and learn to build your own community? I'll tell ya. I'm no internet marketing genius. About a year ago, I was teaching high school English! But I do have one "super power..." I know how to pay ATTENTION. There have already been like 65 ninja moves about how to LEAD and GROW a community happening right in plain sight. Here's just ONE of them that I caught last week. Now that the movement of this group is humming along, Travis has gotten this group to grow at a lightning fast pace. I haven't seen him run any ads. I've seen a few posts on his FB and in some of his free groups. But most of the GROWTH? Has come from other members right here in the community! I think it's easy to miss so I don't know if you caught it or not? But Travis didn't offer some crazy cash prize for people who invite folks right here into CFM. He offered... Time with him and made it exclusive to all who pitch in. Anyone who brings in a new FLAME? Gets invited to a Zoom with Travis. And that's working like crazy to grow the group. How would you apply that to your own group? Once you have enough members who are in sync with your movement... They will happily grow it for you if you just ask and offer them something in return. Probably the most valuable thing to the will be time with YOU or some other expert you bring in :) I'm learning this stuff too and still need to apply it to my own community. But if you want me to share more about what I'm picking up from paying attention?

Community F.I.R.E. MISSION: Cover Your Monthly Living Expenses in ONE Hour a Day, with ONE PERSON, in ONE year (or Less) if Your Monthly Expenses are Less Than $10,000 a Month. 🌎RENTING access to your micro-community worldwide. I am calling this our 'ONE PLAN' for short. Who is with me? Will you COMMIT to ONE HOUR a day? Will you COMMIT for ONE YEAR? (If your monthly expenses are way below $10k a month, it will likely be way faster.) Look... I remember. I was working 60 to 70 hours a week SELLING my time to an employer. It was TOUGH to commit to one hour a day. I got up at 4 a.m. to MAKE SURE I got my hour in. It's not a small commitment. I am glad I made the commitment. I remember watching my son graduate from high school... It was memorable for me because I MISSED so many of his birthdays, school events and such because I had NOT figured out my RENTAL MODEL and only knew a SALES MODEL. Which meant my BOSS owned my TIME! I was THEIR RENTAL MODEL. They got to attend EVERY ONE of their two kids' events... But... I could NOT get the "time off" approved by them for my son's important days. Eric graduated in 2006... I'd given my boss the middle finger award in February of that year. And I KNEW I would 100% be attending his graduation LIVE and IN PERSON! Committing to ONE HOUR a day took me 2-ish years... But... I didn't understand the RENTAL MODEL of income VERSUS the SALES MODEL of income. I tried several "sales model" businesses. "Flipping" items/services and such. It didn't work (at first) because I had to start over at $0 every single month. And I'm NOT talking about a SUBSCRIPTION business. Subscriptions are just ONE MONETIZATION path of a RENTAL MODEL of income. (We'll jam on that more later.) But... 👀What I want to know right now? Is... 👉Are you with me? To... Cover Your Monthly Living Expenses in 👍ONE Hour a Day 👍with ONE PERSON (If you love managing people, go for more.) 👍in ONE year By RENTING access to your lil community?

I don’t want to wait until I’m old and dragging my ballz behind me in a walker to start living!! If you want $10,000 per month… The trad FIRE gurus will tell you to scrimp and save for a decade (or two) to save up $3 million and pull out 4% a year. ($120,000) What could go wrong?😑 Even if you make it… I don’t know about you? But I don’t want to wait 20 years. Call me impatient! I also don’t want to scrimp by. And you know WHY? 3 mill isn’t as cool when my ballz drag along behind me in my walker! Chicks don’t dig it! 😂 I want to live now! …while I’ve got my swagger! LIVING well is the goal. Now… Community F.I.R.E. Isn’t about sacrificing today so we can live in 2045. It’s about living fully in the moment and PRODUCING something - a community - that other people want/need so much that they’d invest $100 a month and feel like it’s a bargain. Producing a community and putting in 100 members at $100 a month produces $10,000 a month - so we can do what we want, when we want and with whom we want before our ballz or boobs make rude appearances! It can be done in a FRACTION of the time someone can save up $3,000,000 unless your last name is Kardashian or Bezos:-) But hold on to your undies… Monthly subscriptions are only ONE way to monetize. There are a dozen OTHER ways. (Topics for another day.) The coolest part… The part that “hangs” everybody up… Is YOU don’t NEED to be the EXPERT! 👉 You are PRODUCING the community and putting the RIGHT people in and have the VISION about the MISSION or the MOVEMENT the community stands for! A community doesn’t exist because of great content! That’d be like saying a town exists because the newspaper is so good! Does that make sense? Right now… With AI and all the “bad news”… People NEED purpose, mission or a movement to be a part of in 2025…NOT more content. I’m not against great content and delivering insights… I’m just saying it’s NOT what makes a thriving community! (Or excited to invest $100 a month.)
