The full transformation a lot of times can't happen in a day, it can't happen in a week, it can't even happen in a few weeks! And a lot of times we abandon people with our offers. I want you to truly think about that. The thing that you do and the problem that you solve, are you leaving people out to dry by not allowing them to fully realize the real true transformation that they want and that the...

 When it comes to memberships, we only have to solve one problem! But too many times we're dangerous. We know a lot of information and we want to solve all the problems, and this can get very confusing for your members. As you're designing your membership with your members’ needs in mind and the problems that they're experiencing, the challenges that they're having, think of that one problem...

Res...

Begin with the end in mind!   If you think of beginning with the end in mind, you don't have to have a stressful membership. It doesn't have to pull at you. You don't have to be available 24/7. You don't have to do all the things that you're fearing, the things that are stopping you from wanting to create a membership. Yes, I'm giving you permission. You do not have to do the things that you'...

You're special, you have something awesome to share, and you should share that with other people. As entrepreneurs, sometimes we take for granted the knowledge, skills and experiences that we have. “My ideas not good enough.” “I don't sound smart enough.” “I’m not as educated as other people.” I want to remind you that you are special and you are worthy! The skills and experience you have could re...

Do you want to make a bigger impact? Then you need to listen in.

Now, w...

One of the coolest things about having a membership is that you get to design it how you want! A lot of times when people think of memberships, they automatically think there has to be community, you have to have this many resources dropped each month, you have to have a certain content rhythm and that's just not the case for all memberships. Forget about those expectations. Memberships come in al...

I want to give you permission to launch. Put your promotion or your offer out into the world! Sometimes we get caught up in our head and we're sitting here in a state of parallelization, looking around for some big sign, some big thing in the world to say, “it's okay, we're going to be okay.” Now here's the thing though, nothing is permanent. So, whatever you put into the market today does not nec...

You're the boss of your business so you get to decide what it looks like and how it feels. I think a lot of times we get stuck in this mentality that we have to do things a certain way, because that's what everyone says that we're supposed to do. But at the end of the day, we are building an online business that's supposed to serve us to serve ourselves, to serve our family, to allow us to make a...

When’s the last time you “spring cleaned” your business? We do it in our homes, we do with our cars sometimes to do it personally, right? We need to get rid of the junk. We need to get rid of the anchors that are holding us back. And that's what I would invite you to do. Any day. You don't have to wait till the end of the year. It is not something that you have to have a specific time. At any poin...

Don’t let market research scare you off from pursuing your idea for a membership, a course, a program, or an offer. Instead, let it get you excited! Sure, as you're doing the market research and validating your idea, you’re going to find other people doing similar things. But what you have to offer is unique and it's special because you have your own unique special voice and perspective with it. T...

The biggest fear of many people is to feel tied down and restricted by their own memberships   They are afraid that they won't have any time off.

We need to know what our customers are talking about, what they're thinking about where they are in their own journey so that we can align our offers, align our messaging, and attract the right people into our world. The way to get that is to give people the time. Listen and connect. Stop treating everybody like a number. Don't scale to fail. Don’t build your list, instead build your connections....

Memberships do not have to be complicated. Seriously! They can be very streamlined, very simple. It all comes down to the promise that you're making.
