@Michelle Du ... I was sitting here replying to your comment on the courage and vulnerability thread and I decided to turn this into a whole post because there is so much in it!!! See the screenshot for the conversation so far or you can head to this post. Michelle has this vision for an aesthetic women's coffee bar/gym/physio and to shift into move of a coaching role than a hands on role. But acknowleges this will need a decent chunk of change 💰 to do it ... which is true. Buuuuuuuut ... this is where our MVP mindset comes in! MVP = Minimum Viable Product (and you all might already know this, if so please skip ahead! But I wanted to include this as it's really important foundational knowlege here.) The Ferrari = beautiful women's physio coffee bar gym. The Ferrari gets your people from A to B in style, comfort and luxury. The Ferrari is 💵 expensive. The Skateboard = the MVP. It will get your clients from A to B. It might not be so pretty or so comfortable, but it does the job it is promising it can do on the label. AND you can afford to build a skateboard! So then we need to figure out what does the Skateboard need to do? What is the Skateboard's essential job, if it can only do one key thing for people? Then you can turn it into a bike. Then a car. Then a truck. Etc etc ... only adding more features when you know it's what people want. And equally that you are building something that YOU want to keep building! Because new ventures don't always turn out exactly like we'd like them to. (Hands up if that's ever been your experience ... because 🙋‍♀️ ) So let's spitball some MVP ideas: If coaching is the core job: Start testing out more coaching services as a value add package (if you are working for yourself of course) to current clients who fit. Or do some cold outreach. Or create an email campaign specifically around this to your current list.

I wanted to drop a video today to share with you a vision for the community and some of the core values here that I aspire for us to all have the safety to step into ... and to go first myself to honour you all. Those values are: ⛰️ Courage - to admit what we do and don't want, and to at some point take action 🤲 Vulnerability - to say these things aloud to help with our own momentum and get help 🌳 Growth - because this is what it's all about So in honour of not ever asking you guys to do something that I personally wouldn't do, I wanted to also share a little of my own story - the shame and guilt in particular - when I was at the crux and decision making of my allied health career. That shame and guilt kept me trapped and ended up with me making (questionable, in hindsight!) decisions in a vacuum, because I didn't have a space like this where I could really explore all the options without judgement. I wish I’d had a place like this back then — somewhere safe to say the hard things out loud, unpack what was actually working, what wasn’t, and explore the incredible options I didn’t realise I had. It's also a space where I want you to feel comfortable enough to dream into a better future - whatever that might mean for you! It could be more money, more fun, more impact, more meaning, more overseas trips, more cheese ... anything! 🧀 ✈️ All of these things are what I want this community to be for you. You don’t need permission to post, share, ask, or start threads. The more you join in, the more you’ll get from being here. And if you want to connect properly, I’ve set up a weekly Coffee Hour on Tuesdays at 4pm Brisbane time which you can see in the Calendar. I’m genuinely excited to get to know you. If you feel comfortable after reading/watching this, share in the comments your aspirations or what's keeping you stuck, and gently we can begin to figure out the pathway forward alongside each other.
