Part 1 - Clarity Over the last 30 days, I learned that clarity comes in public spaces. Participation, positing, asking questions can only happen with other people. My confidence has grown because of the encouragement and direction from my friends in this tribe! You all spark my heart ✨💖 Your channels are not just made up of topics, it stands for something, and since working the steps and material that Alexa provides for free, has helped me bring clarity to my channel and give it a vibe. A place for people to feel seen and learn the current mess of their lives does not dictate their future. If I can help people get that, I have done a good job in my life and I will be satisfied. 🔥 Part 2 - Consistency I learned even when plagued with a bronchial condition that prevented me from talking, you can still post on a regular basis when you put into place the lessons learned here about batching. That Lesson Paid OFF! 💰 Part 3 - Connection There is a level of magic that happens when you show up for others, 👉🏽 they show up for you! Maybe it’s not magic, it just feels like it. The community connections in this tribe alone was worth joining it and responding to comments here builds confidence to comment on your channel. This is a great practice ground for asking questions, giving encouragement and receiving it! 💐 Part 4 - Reflection I now answer the question, “What do you do?” With, “I am a content creator and a community builder.” If they want to know more, they ask, if not, oh well! The surprise of this entire journey is how much fun it is and there is no age limit to dictate if you are any good at it. It is all about your willingness to show up, grow and give away what you know. What would I tell myself on day one? Every step you take on this journey is a step forward, you will finish if you just keep taking steps! And I did FINISH! I have about 30 minutes to celebrate, 🎉🎆 then on to a thirty day challenge learning how to build a skool community! Oh and this next thirty day challenge needs to be done in 7 days! If you want to know why, ask!

This lesson is the one that I want to master! Building a community around my channel. I am trying and gaining a little traction! I have a newsletter that people can subscribe to and a community page so we can gather. So far I have 10 subscribers to the newsletter and no takers on joining me on my skool page! I will not be discouraged. Build it and they will come! I looked back at my 1st month doing YT and I had 13 views and 5 subscribers. Low numbers do not sway me, however, I do need to learn to be more friendly, inviting, offer value, be fun to hang out with. I don't know what the magic sauce will be, I feel it is coming. The ground work is laid, I am ready to receive! Bring it on! I did my first live this week, I think that will be a way to be my joyful self, instead of the one who talks about tough topics! Also, I did a short promoting the video that goes out today, yesterday and it has had almost 1000 views. So, the tide is changing! Thank you my friends who keep on showing up for me! @Jenny Sharratt @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Eddi Pinegar @Cat PInegar @Casey Hamlin @Ricardo Solomons @Virgil Rucker @Adam Tinkoff
