I have a custom client dashboard that Molli and I built, and it is gorgeous. Really, really pretty. There's just one problem: it doesn't work for my brain. In this entry, the confession of how I spent an afternoon this week, why I worked around a broken system for way too long, and the sentence I finally had to say out loud.
In this entry:
⢠The beautiful client portal that everyone was slightly confused inside of
⢠Why pretty and functional are not the same thing
⢠The maintenance work nobody posts about (and why it counts)
⢠Something to chew on: what's one thing in your systems you could update?
The Diary of a Community Builder is a daily, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build and run a membership community and a community-led business. Real entries about community building on Circle, systems and workflows, client experience, and the honest, in-between moments of growing an online business, without the highlight reel.
Want to take it one step further? The Diary lives inside coCreator Society too. Each day's question drops in the community, you leave your own entries, and we support one another while we build our community-based businesses, together, out loud.
