Launch communities

{E41} Sally Hope Talks Getting Started With Online Communtites

Renegade life coach, Sally Hope joins me today to talk about all things community. A former musician, she soon realized that she loved having access to people but wanted to help them in a more focused way. At the suggestion of a band mate, she looked into life coaching and got certiifed.

Creator of the first B-School group 5 years ago, she has since gone on to launch her own community, Wildheart Revolution in which the focus is the entire person and not just the business aspects.

We talk about how to launch communities, why you should do it because you believe in community and connection and not just do it for the money because it is a lot of work!

Key Takeaways:

  • Get clear on your goals and WHY you are starting a community.
  • Do it because you believe in community & connection.
  • When you start a community, you are part of it and not just the ONLY voice of it.

Systems and Tools

{E39} Getting Your Tech House In Order with Maya Gaddie

Maya Gaddie joins me to talk all things technology. When you’re in the growing phases of your business, it’s time to get serious about systems and the tools you are using. We talk about email marketing systems, customer relationship management, project management as well as managing your day-to-day tasks.

Key Takeaways:

  • Having systems in place and the tools to support you is key.
  • Tools like Boomerang help you manage your inbox and email workflow for example, answer client emails on the weekend but have them scheduled to go out on the weekdays.
  • No tool is perfect, while it’s important to look to the future and plan for growth you also have to keep in mind where you are and start somewhere!
