Last day on vacation. I will be back posting and scheduling the next free call when I’m back. In the meantime, crazy news! I’m now 100 percent in on my business. I’m no longer the Vice President of Marketing at Techstars. No more side hustling. No more working every waking minute. I’ve officially left corporate forever! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! Just CEO Andrea here. 🎉🎉🎉 I’m so excited!

Hey everyone! I am trying to make a decision, but I don't feel like I have definitive data in order to make a best decision. I know the value of having a community and hosting my freebie in a skool group would definitely help with building an email list and a community at the same time. And I like the idea of having a ready source of comments to be able to reply to and even use it to build out content as I do best in response. However, I have a few concerns: 1. In my previous business, I had a Facebook group, and it took until you got to like 400+ people for anybody to really say anything. The constant posting and lives to crickets, even though I knew it was part of the process (and I have had several people say how helpful it was and they watched them all even when I didn't know), was such a struggle mentally and emotionally. I'm not really keen on the idea of doing that again. 2. I know that one to one and small groups are what I've always been good with, so worry about keeping up the energy in perpetuity with a membership/ free group. 3. I'm a high ticket coach and strategist, I do plan on having a low ticket offer, but it was more one offs in my head, so not sure about what I would even do for a premium that would still guide people to my high ticket services or if my ideal client even does these groups or not... I also love groups. I love being in groups and communities, and I'm just trying to work out in my brain if this is a direction I should go. I'm just looking for more input and data, really, and if we could help, that would be great.

I'm on vacay in Michigan right now, so doing a lot of lake walks. Work wise, I'm noodling over my next workshop campaign for when I get back.

When you read this, what comes to mind? I'm a business coach and strategist known for helping mompreneurs turn businesses that run on them into businesses that run for them, so they have the freedom to decide what comes next.
