STRATEGY
โญ Deep Dive

The Cost of Undervaluing A Community

To attract new members, I made a pricing mistake that nearly killed the community I worked so hard to build. I undervalued my community and paid the price.

Before the pandemic, I created a space where people could truly connect.

I built a community that united people and fostered meaningful connections.

The community sparked thousands of sales leads, genuine connections, and personal referrals.

It thrived because members didnโ€™t just participate and connect; they valued it deeply and poured their knowledge and energy back into itโ€ฆ
