Sunday Reflections | Well, I've Changed My Mind! 🐼❤️
Have you ever been so sure about something... until you weren't? 😂
I've been thinking about how many ideas Todd and I had when we first started building Skoolology.
Things we thought would work.
Things we thought people would want.
Things we were pretty sure we had figured out.
Then we started actually building alongside people.
Listening.
Trying things.
Watching what happened.
Occasionally scratching our heads and wondering what we'd missed!
Somewhere along the way, I changed my mind about something.
Early on, we spent a lot of time thinking about what we needed to provide for our members.
The right content, activities, resources, and experiences.
Those things still matter, of course.
But I started noticing that some of the most meaningful moments weren't things we'd planned at all.
They were the conversations that happened because someone felt comfortable enough to ask a question.
Or share something that wasn't working.
Or tell another builder what they had tried
Sometimes those conversations kept going without Todd or me anywhere in the middle.
That made me more curious about what we were designing.
Maybe we'd been spending so much time thinking about what we needed to give people that we hadn't fully appreciated what they could give each other.
I still think about this quite a bit.
It changes some of the questions I ask myself about what we're building.
I suspect there will be plenty more things I'll change my mind about before we're through! 😂
So I'm wondering...
What's something you believed about building your community that you see differently now?
And what happened that made you rethink it?
I'd love to hear your story. ❤️
