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?

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.
