So my Reflection sabbatical took a little longer than I wanted. Basically, my Reflecting turned into Rethinking then Reimagining then Rewriting then Refining....you see where this is going. I will spear you all the details. To be honest, it felt like I was going through the stages of grief over my membership. It kind of went something like this. - Denial - "I don’t need to make these changes. My membership can work the way it is. Everyone will figure it out and sign up. I don't need to change anything right now." - Anger - "Why is this so difficult? I’ve put so much effort into these changes, and I don’t even know if it's going to work. Maybe I'm not cut out for this, and I'm frustrated with myself for trying to make it perfect every time." - Bargaining - "If I just change a few things, maybe this will work out. What if I made the membership only for a certain group, or just offered the basics at first, then expanded later? Maybe this will make people sign up." - Depression - "I don’t know if I can get this right. I'm overwhelmed with all these shifting decisions, and I feel like no matter what I do, it won’t be good enough. I’m unsure if I can handle the pressure of launching something that truly works." - Acceptance - "Okay, I understand that shifting my membership is part of the process, and I can learn from each change. I’m going to embrace the evolution of it, trust in my vision, and continue to refine as I go. I don’t have to have everything figured out today." And of course, this process wasn't linear. I was going back and forth between all the stages. Anyone else feel like this sometimes? 🤪 So I asked myself why I was sabotaging my efforts to create something so important. ❓Why did making money on new year's day feel good and not good at the same time? What happened next was a HUGE personal breakthrough. 🔥 I had a HUGE secret money block and didn't even realize it! ENORMOUS! MASSIVE! COLOSSAL! MAMMOTH! GIGANTIC! Did I mention it was BIG?

Hi! I am excited to learn more from you. That you could come up with suggestions as not coffee drinkers was impressive. My business is high end Milan based artisan made home espresso machines...built to last!

So I’m doing a thing by working on this membership and adding content. I would love some feedback on the landing page. I haven’t put images or video yet, but just interested in if it’s catchy or not! https://www.skool.com/plant/about I attached an image in case it doesn't show yet.

So I am reluctant to get on 1 on 1 calls because in the back of my mind I always think that the call is going to turn into sales calls. I tend to wait a while before booking a call. Dina's community is different. In order to unlock her resources, you need to have a call. So, I booked a call. Instantly, she framed the call in a way that ensured I finished the call with the most important thing my community had been missing, focus. She took me back to the conception of my community and helped me come up with a powerful statement about what my community is REALLY about. I've since used this statement in some networking meetings and got some interest in the community. I'm on day 3 of the 5 day challenge and I already have learned so much to take back to my 'early-stage' community. One of the best things about working with Dina is I can be honest with her. Towards the end of the call, I told her I thought this was going to be a sales call and she said that this call is only about getting me to where I needed to go for my unique community. The call was about meeting my needs. After the call, I have a renewed enthusiasm. If you haven't booked a call and you are struggling with your community, consider reaching out to Dina.
