Would you like to wake up this summer to more juicy, recurring membership payments?
I'm running a 90-day sprint using the proven system I used to rapid-launch to 100 members myself. And if you don't get enough MRR to cover your fee in 90 days, I WILL REFUND YOU.
Here is the whole week-by-week:
Curious? You can join Community Growth Academy, upgrade to Premium, and attend our kickoff event at 10 Pacific TOMORROW.
If it's not for you, let me know and I'll refund that single payment. Otherwise, stick with me for 3 months of 1:1s, peer support, and a simple step-by-step that sets up your business to attract more paying members in this sprint and beyond.
About me: I launched, grew to 1500 paid members, and sold my first community for life-changing money. Now, I'm here to help you do the same! See the sprint breakdown below for more.
ASK QUESTIONS BELOW if you have them!

The TLDR: No more overthinking -- let's go! In 90 days flat, we'll: Tighten up your offer & audience. Do pre-marketing to build interest. Create urgency. Find partners & borrow audiences. Build your funnel. Run your launch. Boom!
THIS IS THE INITIAL PILOT OF THIS SPRINT AND THERE IS NO COST EXCEPT YOUR PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP IN COMMUNITY GROWTH ACADEMY
THE GIST: Get launched or relaunched and earning MORE MRR than your cost (in this case, a big $300!) in 90 days flat โ or your money back.
Why am I doing this? Because I know you're going to earn MORE than $300 more MRR, and I want to determine pricing for future sprints.
