(👀 🎧 read or listen) What if "TRUTH" is the highest form of marketing? Well... IT IS! I appreciate you all being here. I wouldn't post something like this in the free community, not yet anyway. We're here to be be honest and "truthful" with ourselves and each other. This is some of what I actually believe and want to say. This is some of the "truth" that I believe people are looking for... because I'm also looking for it. What do I really want to offer people? It's not actually business strategy. It's not actually even community. It's SELF-ACTUALIZATION. When you are living to your highest potential. Business is a pathway for that. Community, the kind we are creating, supports that too. RED FLAG PEOPLE! 🚩 They get in the way of that. Green Flag People 💚 They support you to become a better version of yourself. 👀 Check out the image for Green Flags in people. That's who we want here in our Town Square. 👀 Also check out the pyramid, which is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. At the top is SELF-ACTUALIZATION. You ARE living to your highest potential. Fully expressed. Nothing holding you back. And what comes before that? Belonging. Esteem. That's the real "gift" that this community has the potential to offer to each other. Belonging & Meaningful Relationships → Esteem & Recognition → Living Your Higher Potential That's what this is REALLY about. We're just "calling" it the Town Square 😏 I value DEPTH. I thought there was no place for that in the business I was building before. But I was just repressing what I actually feel called to share. None of us should be reluctant to share and express our truth, what we really believe. Because if it's true to you, it's true to someone else who is looking for you. P.S. Join us at our next Town Hall Gathering this Thursday as we continue to put this together. If you can't attend Live, the recording and notes will be posted right after. Click here to add that to your calendar.

(👀 🎧 read or listen) Add the event to your calendar here. We already have 25 members! That tells me we're onto something worth building with intention. So this is your official invite to our first LIVE Town Hall Gathering, where we are co-creating the experience, the benefits of being a member, and the overall vibe together. Here's the question I want us to answer together... What would the BEST community of entrepreneurs supporting entrepreneurs actually look like? What would it be like if the value and the benefit of the membership IS the members? Sure, every entrepreneur needs business strategy, but what about a more foundational layer? What about just having peers, allies, and colleagues that hang out, talk about things, and offer feedback and other kinds of support? I've also been collecting ideas and notes from our conversations in the posts and comments. We've been throwing around a lot of ideas for what this community could be like. -Co-working hours. -Writing hours for content creation. -Challenges. Games. -Feedback Fridays. All of that is very doable. And those ideas are just from comments and posts. What can we brainstorm and co-create on an actual Live call with each other? Here are the eight core design principles for successful cooperation that will help guide how we put this all together. Thank you @Des Cooke for sharing these principles with me. 1. Shared Identity and Purpose - one collective identity, one meaningful mission. 2. Equitable Contribution and Benefit - everyone brings value, everyone receives it. 3. Inclusive Decision-Making - those affected by decisions have a voice in them. 4. Transparency and Accountability - expectations are visible, and we hold each other to them. 5. Adaptive Feedback - helpful behavior is reinforced, unhelpful behavior is addressed. 6. Fast and Fair Conflict Resolution - tensions get resolved directly and efficiently. 7. Self-Governance and Autonomy - we uphold and evolve our principles (1-6). 8. Aligned External Collaboration - partnerships are built on the same foundations (1-7).

10+ awesome calls for members by members already positioned for our community launch! Entrepreneurs supporting entrepreneurs! Let's go! Click here to add this Thursday call to your calendar. 10am EST / 3pm UK (👀 🎧 read or listen) ⚡TLDR: Join us and contribute to the creation of our community culture LIVE or asynchronously by catching the replay and offering suggestions/feedback. Flowgenda of our call below. The recording and notes will be available to you if you can't make it Live. Also, this is some of what we are looking to solve. More events on the calendar at a variety of times. So you can connect with other "aligned" entrepreneurs that value mutual support and just becoming better versions of ourselves. Whether you were on the last call, caught the replay, or this is your first time hearing about it... here's what's going on. 📣What is this call? Catch up with what's going on and continue to contribute to the co-creation of the culture of our Town Square community. Listen, speak, make suggestions, offer feedback, suggest a kind of call for the community. 📣What happened on the first call? We talked about why most communities don't actually feel like communities. We looked at what it would take to build something different. We introduced some call formats, Co-Elevation Sessions, Action Learning Sets, Campfire Storytelling, Round Robin calls, and more. You can watch the full recording, skim the transcript, or read the written recap here. 📣What happened since then? 44 people filled out the survey. 14+ said they'd be open to hosting a call! That means we could have 14 calls on the calendar in the first month, all member-led, all peer-driven, and possibly even more! It's working! If you haven't filled out the survey yet, you can do so here.

I'm MamaJ, and I switched to building a business to train other solopreneurs who want to do heart-led work and be well paid last March. Up until then, I was working in the third sector, running a non-profit business teaching Innate Health (a paradigm for mental wealth) in prisons; training facilitators and writing research papers. I had a lot to learn a couple of years previous before I made the switch, as this is a totally new field for me, but I've now run an impactful group coaching program three times, so I'm finding my groove. My Skool community: The Transformative Coach Club is the community and movement built around my “The Only One” philosophy: there is only one source, only one you, and only one place to look when something is not working — back to you. It brings together practical business growth, community, and Innate Health principles so people can build a sustainable business around the work they feel called to do. Inside, members get support, strategy, visibility tools, coaching and programmes designed to help them get paid to do the work they love. I am also an author of my memoir, Wing of an Angel, a few short story books, and my first business book that came out last year, Let Them Feel It. I try not to join too many communities because I am limited in how much time I put into being on Skool. However, I'm here because I trust @Justin Yip. AND I love when action follows insight, and I know that he has just gone through a transformational reflection period. Also, because it's exciting to build something together, and so let's do this.
