One of the community members who saw my Call to Action reached out to ask a perfectly reasonable question: What happens if we don't reach 40 paid members... what do the people who pay get then?
It's funny because I can almost feel that same hesitancy coming from the entire community. We've had a few more join the free tier since yesterday but only one member upgraded to the $37 tier... one.
I put this coming Wednesday out there as a sort of kick in the behind, hoping against hope that I could get people to make the leap. One did.
So... if you want to see a weekly class happen and you want to be a part of it, I need you to speak up in here. There are almost 70 members. Talk to each other!
I will post the number of upgrades here every day, if you think that will help to get people signing up.
As to what I'll do if the 40 doesn't happen... it's simple: I'll assume there is not sufficient interest in training with me and I'll refund the payment to anyone who endeavored to make it happen.
I'm at the fork in the road with this. I would love to get a class going and see it take off. But I'm also ready to abandon this whole community thing if the members don't actually unite as a community.
If that turns out to be the case, I'll offer some one-on-one training to those who paid for a full year and I'll close the community and leave it open only as a portal for my online courses.
If you'd like to see classes happen, speak up and say so, and get your fellow members to upgrade. We can start this Wednesday or next if they do.
