TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1. Don’t assume you know what people want. Ask them.

2. It’s not enough to just make the community. Pay attention. Care about them.

3. Give away 90% of your best content for free. Sell the other 10%.

4. Engagement is QUEEN.

5. There is no magic number.

6. Good decisions aren’t made out of desperation. It’s worth building a runway before you fully screw the 9 to 5.

7. Pre-sell your course. Build an audience who will buy it.

8. Don’t beat yourself up for having doubts. Everyone second guesses themselves.

9. We assign the negative meaning to our thoughts - but it doesn’t have to be that way. Push through the BS and on the other side is where all the magic happens.

10. The vanity numbers don’t matter. It’s all changeable. Stop the comparisons, and focus on your process.
