How to Involve Family in Your Journey (Without Drama!)

Over the last few months I have really fallen for Skool in so many ways. I was challenged by

@Brian O'Neill that I need to share more, of my journey, not on skool but the wisdom I have by the gift my family gave me. See I'm not just starting out, my family has been at building relationships for generations, in fact I am 3rd women in my family have a business. 🤯

I say all this not to brag, but I see so many of you hustling, grinding, and striving. You guys are CRUSHING it, you truly you are. I'm here to remind you WHY your going SO HARD.

FAMILY - either born to or chosen your wanting make the world better for THEM.

Here's the family secret I want to share with you that has saved so much heartache.

Don’t keep your wins, hopes, or milestones a secret, especially from your family. Family loves celebrating—they need to know what’s happening! If you hit a milestone (big or small), tell them. A quick update over dinner or in your family group chat can build pride and curiosity. Invite them to cheer you on, even from the sidelines.

Give them permission: They don’t have to understand your vision. It’s totally fine if your people don’t “get” Skool, masterminds, or why community building fires you up. Let them know you’re excited about what you’re creating and all they need to do is share your joy.

Share what support looks like to you. Most drama comes from unclear expectations. Tell your family how support could look: Small involvement goes a long way.
Invite them to celebrate a win or share something from their world in your community( if you think they are a good fit for the community.) It’s not about massive action, it’s about moments of connection.
Honor their boundaries while celebrating your legacy. Some family members may never care about analytics or retention rates. That’s ok! Let them opt-in where they feel comfortable and appreciate them for showing up how they can.

What’s helped you involve family in your builder journey? Drop your best tip for connection (or NOT involving them if that works for you!). Let’s keep our journeys full of both success and connection! 💛
