Morning everyone! I’m Tamara. I’ve got one amazing little toddler who keeps me on my toes, and I’m doing school full-time on top of that. Juggling mom life, classes, and mental health is _a lot_, but I’m doing my best to keep it upbeat and stay optimistic. Really nice to meet you all.

Hi, my mompreneurs! I recorded this 18-minute Loom video walking you through how I grew our community to 90 members in 6 days. 🥳 This is not meant to be a polished “look what I did” video. It’s more like: 💞 Come behind the scenes with me as I build, test, learn, adjust, and grow this community in real time. Because we’re mompreneurs here after all. Inside the video, I talk about how I’m using Meta ads with a limited budget ($10/day) to validate this community and the AI Context Lab before trying to scale it. And that part matters. Here's why: A lot of new entrepreneurs spend days or weeks creating a course, product, or offer because they know it could help people… Then they launch it… And hear crickets.😱😫 That doesn’t mean they failed. Many times, it means they skipped one important step: Validation.👈 Validation simply means: Are people actually interested in this BEFORE I spend more time, money, and energy building it bigger? This Loom shows one way I’m validating this offer with a small ad budget… not thousands of dollars (I made the mistake of spending thousands of ad budget when I opened my law firm back in 2018 😱). Also, since we have members at different stages of business, some terms I mention may feel familiar to you, and some may feel new. And that's okay. 🥰 If you’re newer to entrepreneurship, my gentle recommendation is this: Start getting familiar with the language. You don’t have to understand everything right away. If you’re more seasoned, you’ll probably see more strategy inside the video that you can apply to your own community, offer, or audience. Either way, I hope that this gives you a real-life example of what it can look like to build with curiosity before scaling with pressure. Watch the Loom when you have 18 minutes, and feel free to drop your questions or takeaways below. I appreciate you. 🙏 P.S.
