https://www.retainguide.com/ - Get Instant Access to The Membership Retention Roadmap: 5 Systems You Need to Keep More Members


Is your membership growing, or are you just replacing lost members every month?

Many membership owners feel stuck at the same member count and revenue, no matter how much effort they put into marketing and content. If you’ve ever had a big launch, only to see your numbers drop back down a few months later, you’ve likely hit a membership growth ceiling.

But here’s the thing—this isn’t just a theory. It’s a mathematical calculation. Based on your current members, new member acquisition, and churn rate, you can determine exactly where your membership will stall.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What the membership growth ceiling is and how to calculate it
  • The key signs that you’ve already hit your ceiling
  • Why acquisition alone won’t fix growth issues (and can even make things worse)
  • How retention—not just marketing—determines whether your membership scales or stays stuck
  • The real revenue impact of reducing churn and how it compounds over time

Want to see the numbers in action? I’ll be sharing my screen and running real calculations to show you exactly how this works, so if you’re listening on the podcast, I highly recommend watching the video version on YouTube for the best experience.
