Hi. You're in.
Thereâs nothing you have to do today.
Not introduce yourself.
Not post anything.
Not show up to a live thing.
Not respond to this.
Not even read all of it.
If you want to lurk for a year and never say a word, you are welcome. The community will keep moving with or without you, and that is the entire point.
If you do want to say hello, thereâs a thread for that. Drop a line about who you are, what you're building, and how much energy you usually have for marketing.
No bio required. Two sentences are plenty. One word is fine. Skip it entirely if introductions make you want to lie down.
đ§© A note on whatâs here, and whatâs coming.
This is the early version of Get Grounded.
The community is live. The extension and the resource library are in the works. If you joined this early, youâre going to get to watch the place build itself in real time, which is honestly more interesting than walking into a fully furnished room.
As things ship, weâll quietly add to whatâs available. We will not ping you constantly about it. You do not have to keep up.
In the meantime, this is a place to talk about marketing the calm way.
Share whatâs working.
Share whatâs not.
Ask questions.
Lurk.
Do whatever is useful.
đ« A few things you will not find here:
No leaderboards.
No streaks.
No âshow up dailyâ challenges.
No DMs asking why youâve been quiet.
No live calls you have to attend.
No fake urgency.
No sales emails.
No upsell to a $4K mastermind.
If anyone in this group pressures you to buy something, levels up at you, or talks like a marketing bro â please report it. Thatâs what the report button is for.
We will quietly remove them.
The whole point of this place is that you donât have to brace yourself when you open it.
â One last thing.
Youâre allowed to build a real business at the pace of your real life.
You donât have to wake up at 5am.
You donât have to be on every platform.
You donât have to scream into a webinar.
You donât have to perform exhaustion to prove you care.
Get grounded. Thatâs the only thing.
â Dana
