Reflection - Hosting a Bundle
So its Friday evening in New Zealand and I've been reflecting on how hosting my first bundle is going and I thought I'd share why I decided to do it because it did not start with some brilliant strategic plan 😂
It started with a rejection.
A few months ago I applied to be a contributor in a bundle. Didn't get in. And honestly, it was a little annoying! Not because I thought my offer wasn't good enough, but because it made me realise I had no control.
I'd done a couple of bundles by that point and the growth hadn't been what I'd hoped. And every time I went looking for the next one to join, I hit the same wall. A lot of bundles weren't quite the right fit or just too broad to bring in my specific audience.
There was almost nothing for the person I actually am and the person I actually help.
The one who is still in their job. Still in a senior leadership career. Sitting on nearly two decades of skills and experience and quietly wondering - could this become something? Could I actually build a business from what I already know?
I couldn't find a bundle that fit that person. So I decided to build one.
21 contributors later, 330+ sign-ups, and the bundle has another 2 days to go.
I had absolutely no idea if I would get contributors and sign ups. I'd never hosted a bundle before. But that's kind of the whole point of stepping into something new - you try and see if it works.
For a first bundle hosting experience, I'm pretty happy. And I am probably going to do it again. So that experiment (so far 😅) was worth it. I'm going to call it a win.
If you're reading this and you're in the place of being still employed, wondering if your skills and experience could become a business - I created a (free!) framework to help you identify what you could sell from your work experience/skills/qualifications etc . The From Job to CEO framework is completely free and it's the starting point for figuring out exactly what you could sell: 👉 leadershipwithniky.com/from-job-to-ceo
Have you contributed to a bundle before? What has been your experience?
