We went public over 10 months ago. Never going back to private! With that said, it really depends on the intention for community. There is no right or wrong, just right for YOU. If you want your community to stay super small, intimate, not fast growing but with some intimate shares - stay private. I said “some” cuz even when is private and small, most people won’t share…. There are communities w touchy subjects and understandably the owner wants them more private…. If I had a community like this, I’d create an environment for those shares. Whatever that might be that works best for the members. MAYBE locked calls for VIP only classroom. “Best” for the member, not for the owner (what she/he thinks is best or convenient). When we went public - I asked, we voted. When we rebranded - I asked, we voted. When I locked chat at levels 5 then 6 as we grew and I noticed slippage - I asked, we voted…. A community is NOT a social media profile, it’s a co creation environment where you don’t “know it all”. And you have to stay open…. With that said, I outgrew many of my own mentors super fast… now them asking me for an advice on this or that…. Cuz I never stop learning, always open to improving and most def not knowing it all. I outgrew them not because I am oh so smart… but open and learning and def not a know it all (like some of them) 😅🚀 What kind of community is YOUR community? Public or private and why?

I had an idea. I only have 326 points until I get to Level 7. You guys have already helped me gain several hundred points in the last couple of weeks. So I had this fun idea: I'm going to start this post with a really good Dad joke. Then for every comment and LIKE, I will reply with another good one. Let's get this! What do mermaids use to wash their fins? Tide. 😄
