If you’re putting up a paywall for the first time, breathe. It can be scary but the results of charging for your work are incredible. In today’s episode Gina breaks down why a paywall works AND why you can still offer things for free to bring people in. When setting your price you want to aim as high as you can. The results of your community are the value of your community. People pay attention to what they pay for and people will pay for results and transformation that they can’t get on their own.

We are social beings, we are meant to learn from other people and understand the way the world works because we watch what other people do. Who you surround yourself with every single day has the most impact on who you are and what you can accomplish more than anyone else. In this episode, Gina breaks down how communities are powerful and why they are the perfect place to make mistakes and have setbacks because they are forgiving.

When building a community it can be hard to motivate people to find new members. In today’s episode Gina invites you to go back over your work and make sure your ideal member is super clear along with your transition. Having a clear ideal member and transition not only makes finding new members easier, it also adds more value to your community because you have already done the work of getting really specific. When asking your network if they know people who might be interested, be really thoughtful about how you ask and know that by reaching out, it’s a really great way to get specific about your offer.

On the surface one would think that 1:1 coaching would be more expensive than group coaching. In today’s episode, Gina challenges that notion and believes that group coaching should be at the top of your offering. With group coaching or as Gina likes to call it, a “Mastermind” you can grow faster, add more value and make it a more rewarding experience for your members. We have been taught that worshiping the individual is the best way to grow a business when in fact working with a group you can cherry pick which advice you want to take while hearing from a number of different experiences.

When you are building a business you want it to take on a life of its own so it can continue to grow without you having to constantly sell as you would with an e-commerce business. That’s a flywheel. A flywheel starts to build momentum of other people taking actions, other members providing value for each other and other members bringing in more members. In today’s episode Gina breaks down the meaning of a Flywheel business and why it’s a nearly perfect business.

With uncertainty at work, there’s no better time to start your side hustle than right now. But if you’re like most people you’re probably asking yourself, “where do I find the time?” In today’s episode, Gina breaks down how she carves out time. Don’t worry, it’s not about inventing more time but rather replacing a time suck with something more productive. Because building an additional revenue stream gives you more flexibility and your family more flexibility to do what you want to do. Why not start now?

It’s really hard to venture out on your own as a business owner or an entrepreneur because we are making it up as we go along. In this episode, Gina shares one of her favorite goals and goal setting exercises as well as which traps to avoid. The more clarity you have when it comes to building your future, the more likely it is that the future you’re working towards will become your reality. Happy New Year to you AND your future story.
