Is to develop a sales process so I’m not totally dependent on referrals. I need a steady income and I know I’m not going to get that without steady marketing. I’m a business consultant specializing in marketing, and I do it for my clients all the time. I have to make the effort to do it for myself

- Successfully launch my platform - Add all technical functionality by June, WIP, just slow due to part time employee working on it - Create systems for referrals to reduce CAC - Onboard close 50-60 vendors on the platform - Provide a pre and post-trip customer experience that wins hearts of customers I don't know if captured the challenge well but I feel like these are my big goals and I have plans to achieve them

My 2026 objective is to turn the $1M+ Business Plan into the community where founders from $0–$1M+ come to get clear on the business they want to build — and install the systems, structure, and support they need to grow. To do this, my focus this year is on: - Strengthening and growing the community as the foundation of everything (including a central place for key referral partners) - Upleveling my own business model to concentrate on the community + my Integrator-level services (and getting rid of anything that doesn't align) - Hiring 2–3 more key team members so I can fully elevate into my Ideal CEO Role and step out of ALL admin/support tasks - Expanding my social presence on YouTube + Instagram to reach more founders who need this clarity and structure - Why this matters: Because founders at this level deserve a place that doesn’t just exist for motivational purposes, but can actually helps them build the business they’re dreaming about with clarity, systems, and execution.

Happy weekend everyone! I want you to have the ability to do market research in this community. Market research is a hugely valuable resource when you are trying to build something. It's useful for - Brand messaging - find out what resonates with others and your ICP - New products - ask before you expend your most valuable resource - New paths - where should you lean into - How to do almost anything - no one has all the answers, but collectively we can find new ways The truth is, many of us here are on this journey as solopreneurs and it can be really useful to get input from others. Many of you here will serve or are serving other founders. There is no tool more powerful than a QUESTION. The rules: - You cannot pitch - this is meant to be a tool, not an advertising technique - You must put 'Market Research' at the top of your post - It can be a poll or open-ended - either works! - Put it in the Market Research category I actually was doing this a lot in a separate Facebook community and it's how I shifted the name of my community (the current name is not the original).
