You have decades of experience, skills, and wisdom and I'd love to invite you to Christian Creators Over 50, a community where we move beyond collecting ideas and start taking faithful, practical steps toward building. 🎉 For a limited time, Premium membership is just $20 for an entire year! That's $20/year instead of $5/month (a 67% savings), plus quarterly business planning sessions. Simply join at $5/month and upgrade to the special annual Premium rate. The special ends November 10, when Premium returns to $47/year. If you're ready to explore what's possible and take your next step, I'd love to have you join us. Check it out!

This post is for celebrating someone else. 😊

We just finished up a great PERSONALS session with great discussion - not just around freemium versus paid (although that did come up), but also around our "WHY." The "why" are we doing this as well as the "why" our members would want to join our communities, stay in them, engage in them, and pay for them. Thank you @JoAnna Johnston @Christopher Whitehead-Baines @Kat Oakley @Lion Fludd and @Barbara Hobart for your openness, honesty, and willingness to learn from each other. In two weeks time, we will meet again for our "business card exchange" where we will record our introductions about our communities and share with the world what we do, who we serve, and how we help! Not a PREMIUM member yet? What are you waiting for? For only $5/month or $44/year, you too can enjoy from ALLLLLL the benefits of being a Premium member. Want to know more? Check out this post!

Since I turned Growth Boost on 48 hours ago, we've received 1 new member who promptly churned because he said he didn't like recurring subscriptions. Up until that point in time, we consistently got 2-3 new QUALIFIED members every day. Now mind you, those were free members, and we do not get a new paying member every day, so that is definitely something to take into consideration... If you were me, what would you do? Vote in the poll below, and share your comments as well. I'd love to hear what you think.

This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and it's really such a lovely time of the year to be thankful - the leaves on the trees are gorgeous shades of yellow, orange, and red, the sun is shining, and the farmers markets are bountiful! It's also the time of year I am so grateful to have a healthy, happy family and the ability to pursue entrepreneurship so that I can be more present for them. Alongside that, I am forever grateful for this amazing community and all of you who make it the warm, welcoming, and collaborative place that it is. The vibe her is one-of-a-kind, and so many people who join comment immediately that it feels like a great space - and that is all because of you! A few days ago, I accidentally allowed in someone who I shouldn't have. This person sent hundreds of spam messages using AI. Two amazing things happened as a results. First, three different people immediately reported the comments to me so that I could take fast action and ban him from the group. But also what occurred to me was that his comments were so easy to spot because they were so different from the usual lovely comments that are authentic and genuine and full of real connection. I appreciate so much how you all show up here every day posting authentically about how you are able to help others and then commenting on each others posts with genuine interest and questions. Running a group of this size is not easy, and I really depend on the vigilance of the group to help me keep it the safe space it is. I also really appreciate how the majority of you take it upon yourselves to make sure that you are following the community guidelines so that we don't have to do as much enforcing. So, on this lovely October Sunday, thank you and I hope you have a lovely day no matter where you are in the world. ❤️Shannon
