We celebrate growth here - the milestones, the momentum and the moments when a community begins to feel alive. But growth can become difficult to enjoy when we are measuring our behind-the-scenes against someone else’s highlight reel. 😅 So today, let’s make room for what comparison sounds like in a community owner’s head—and have some fun interrupting it. Every Tuesday, you can choose: ❤️ 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 — share something real. 🔥 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘 — do something a little more playful. No pressure to explain everything. No fixing, rescuing or judging. Just honest conversation, a little fun and the reminder that none of us has everything figured out. ❤️ 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆? Maybe… - Your member count to someone else’s. - Their busy feed to your quieter conversations. - Their polished classroom to your work in progress. - Their launch result to your slower growth. - Their confidence on camera to your reluctance to show up. - Their apparent consistency to the week you’re actually having. - Your current community to the version you thought you would have built by now. You can name it without judging yourself for it. Comparison often points toward something we care about—even when it isn’t giving us a fair picture. 🔥 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗷𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗚𝗜𝗙. Do not explain your choice yet. Let everyone else guess what it means. 😄 For example: 🌱🧭☕ 🎢🧠🔥 🐢💎🤝 🚧🎉🦆 Or choose a GIF that captures the mood. After someone guesses, tell us the real story behind your choice. Choose 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗲 and share yours below 👇 If someone shares a Truth, remind them what you can see in their progress before offering a strategy. You are seeing the unfinished inside of your own work and usually only the polished outside of everyone else’s. Your community does not need to look like theirs to be worth building. 🤍

I want to make this one feel like a backstage pass. Because visibility is the part everyone sees last. Before the post, the video, the stage, the offer, the website, the visual, the prompt, or the story… there is usually a much quieter moment: Someone deciding what they are actually willing to be known for. That is the thread I see connecting this group. @Des Dreckett thinks about content revenue, YouTube, and how creators can build income from smaller audiences. @Lauren Baker works across creator communities, comedy, content, nervous-system regulation, and the very real challenge of choosing which creative room gets the most attention first. @Nova Smithofficial brings personal branding and video strategy for premium service providers who need clearer content systems that lead to better client acquisition. @Traci Poe helps speakers become more dynamic on stage, hold attention, and create lasting impact. @Eve Fernett brings design and website creation into the visibility conversation, helping people shape how their work shows up visually. @LaTyra Griffin CPDP works with AI prompt design, visuals, products, and creator aesthetics. @Rae Shagalov works with creativity, art, writing, Torah-rooted purpose, and helping women shine their light through passions and legacy projects. You are all touching different parts of the same visibility chain. The idea. The message. The visual. The voice. The stage. The content system. The audience relationship. The courage to be seen before it is perfect. So instead of asking everyone to introduce their community, I want to ask a backstage question: What happens right before your person becomes visible? Do they freeze? Overthink? Hide behind learning? Keep changing the topic? Post inconsistently? Make the design too complicated?

@Traci Poe, I saw that your main community - Oh Yes I Can Women in Business - is around public speaking, and that you help never-before, emerging, or timid speakers become more dynamic on stage, grab the audience’s attention, keep it, and leave people wanting more. What stood out to me is the movement inside your work. In Public Speaker’s Growth Hub, you are helping people imagine themselves owning the stage and creating lasting impact. And with ByeBye VidCamera Shy Challenge, the promise is so clear: moving someone from “I don’t want to do this” to “I just did.” That feels like a powerful engagement question. Because for your members, engagement may not just mean commenting more. It may mean taking small visible reps: posting a short video, practicing a story, sharing a speaking win, or trying one delivery exercise before they feel fully ready. I’d love to know: inside your community, what is the smallest visible action that helps a timid speaker start becoming a confident speaker? Is it speaking on camera for 30 seconds, sharing a story prompt, practicing an opening line, posting a before-and-after clip, or something else?
