Thoughts about the future as we grow in 2026...
If you haven't noticed, today, this group is still small... in 2026, as we turn on the marketing faucet, it will grow into the thousands. We'll add courses, moderators, live calls, small group networks, and so much more. My focus then, as it is now, is to empower influencers/creators with the tools they need to better monetize their channels, grow with integrity and honesty, and make real peer-to-peer connections. I’ve been in this industry (internet marketing) since 2005 and while I have embraced many of the decades-old sales and marketing strategies (fear of loss, indifference, the law of reciprocation, etc) I could be much more financially successful if I used them as others do. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I won't create false scarcity (there are only 3 left!) unless it's true, I won't promote garbage to my email lists, even if I know it'll make me a few thousand quick $'s, and I won't lower myself to put money before integrity. I love coaching/teaching because it keeps me honest. I won’t ignore my own spiritual growth and transformation to make a buck. I can’t work with people I don’t believe in. (but I believe in most everyone) I can’t sell someone on something I don’t believe in. I can’t convince someone to take on a task I’m not willing to or haven’t done myself. I can’t work with someone who will take advantage of other people. I'll bend over backwards to help someone, usually for free... but I expect them to do their part as well. I'd appreciate you sharing this group with a couple others as welll, together, we all grow. If you’re here and part of this group, I'd like to think you are built differently. You’re interested in making the world a better place, and you’re willing to take steps with real concrete action to move toward your goal - to create win-wins and bring joy as we build a world with systems that match our integrity. Thanks for being here and contributing to this space. I hope you’re learning and playing with the concepts, and I hope you will share what has been helpful to you. Moreover, I hope you ask for help when you need it, and answer the call to others when they need it as well.
