Hello $7 gorilla... nice to meet you
A new experiment is starting - want to join?
Welcome to the 68 new subscribers who have joined since the last post. I’m so happy to have you here!
Ever since I started looking at business through the lens of intimacy, it’s really changed the way I feel about what takes place in my business.
Like just this post/podcast/email. I can feel where you are in my energy field and the relationship I’m cultivating with you.
And to be honest, building a relationship with ‘an email address’ has not been a motivator for me. I like to know the people I engage with. And I don’t need to know a lot, I just like to have met you personally.
But for now, this is as personal as we have. (And yes, I’m grateful I’ve met many of you in person 🤗, but that’s changing as I grow.)
This awareness - that knowing someone personally is a high value to me - has affected the way I see my work and my offers.
I’ve always known that I prefer that level of intimacy. Deep, 1:1 support and engagement. Meaningful connection.
What I haven’t known is how to offer it in degrees. How do I take a person who has agreed to engage with me at a distance, like many of you, and create a meaningful relationship by my standards?
I think I’ve figured it out!
Read on to learn more.
This is the year of Worth, Value and Wealth.
That’s what it feels like. In fact, I’ve been feeling that for a few months now AND I sense that we are entering an era where we will be assessing our own Worth and Value at so many levels.
And when we explore and expand our worth and value, we will often have an increase in wealth. If you prefer, you could substitute the word wealth with abundance if that feels more aligned for you.
These themes will be my focus for the year. Everything will come back to Worth, Value and Wealth so I hope you’re ready to expand on these qualities.
Even my last post on intimacy (even though I did not intentionally look for a topic to fit the themes) is very much about value. What I value. What’s important to me. How relationship and connection - the way I want it - is a value to me. In fact, it is so important that it colors the way I have, and will, structure my programs and offers.
In light of all of that, I’m starting something that I didn’t believe would be viable or make sense, and you’re invited.
Bring It to Life begins next week. It’s live mentoring, training and community for only $7 per month.
I have a fancy sales page, but before you go there let me give you the inside scoop.
First, here’s a quick overview before we get to the gorilla in the room 😅 - the $7 price.
Bring It to Life is a support community for intuitive women growing their business on their terms.
The whole point of Bring It to Life is to support you to trust your gifts, claim your power and grow your business, your money and your intuitive gifts.
It’s set up with a simple framework and premise:
Create a simple lightweight container that gives you direct 1:1 support in a group 2 to 3 times per month - you can ask questions, think something out, get help clarifying whatever is up for you no matter where you are on your business journey
Add in a weekly multi-purpose conversation thread that you can use for accountability, to get feedback from the community, or have me answer a specific question
Allow the intention and energy to coalesce so that the collective is uplifted
That means that everyone who joins gets:
A deeply intentional community of conscious women who know exactly what it is to be intuitive and grow a business. The ups, the downs, the pathways they’ve tried and the wisdom they’ve gained along the way. This to me is priceless.
One-on-one support to ask your question and to get the help you need, that I can answer for you within the context of your particular situation. THIS is what makes all the difference when you’re trying to figure out what to do and how, in a business.
Support for all the parts. The techy-business parts. The emotional, fearful parts. The spiritual growth parts. The intuitive-growing-pains parts.
A home base to weather the energetic storms together.
Now let’s address the gorilla in the room. The $7 per month price point.
Here’s the deal – the truth is that there are a lot of little things that have come together to inform that choice. So here goes:
Everything I offer here I already do with my 1:1 coaching clients. One at a time. I didn’t believe it would be possible to do it in a larger group. Until I saw someone do it in a different context. So it got me thinking… maybe I could do it.
What I do is not something that could easily be translated into a course or packaged program. (At least not that I can see just yet.) It’s very unique to each person. In part because each situation is different, because each person is different. But also because what I do is also energetic. It’s the energy of the engagement that moves the energy of growth. So what I do has to be done live for now.
What people actually need to grow a business is amazingly simple. No matter what stage of business you’re at. The biggest part of business success comes from inner growth and receiving validation. This is something that can only happen in person or within a supportive community, over time.
I wanted something I could offer women who are just meeting me that I could stand behind because it was meaningful, intentional and added value. And most definitely not something created because everyone says that’s what should be done.
Energy and time are speeding up. That means that we are making change at a faster and faster rate. I don’t think my people are going to be served by lengthy, instruction-heavy programs. We are going to need fast, light and adaptable going forward. This could be a place to play with that changing reality.
True connection and intimacy have been conditioned out of us by Facebook groups. They are noisy, distracting places that suck our time. And yet that is what many of us have been trained to default to. We’ve slowly lost an understanding of community in online spaces. I really like what Substack is modeling in the way they build community and believe I can take that example and expand on it.
Hello $7 gorilla. Nice to meet you.
When you take all of the above into account, I decided on $7 per month because I want Bring It to Life to be accessible, and I want women who join to be more intentional about their time and energy. We’ve lost that with the availability of free content. A small payment breaks the habituated action and calls attention to the time and energy involved.
It’s $7 because I want a more intimate place to share. I’ll share a lot for free on Substack, my podcast and Instagram, and yet Bring It to Life gives me a more private space to go deeper. And it gives members a more private place to share.
It’s $7 because I like to push boundaries. Can we amplify worth, value and wealth for all of us who come together in Bring It to Life? This is where exponential growth is possible in ways that I can’t see right now, but I know it happens because I’ve seen it happen in my Soar Mentorship.
It’s $7 because as much as we have been taught to think that life is linear, it isn’t. I’m curious to see what a $7 per month membership community with 1:1 deep support will create. The world I’m walking in is a quantum world and in this world $7 x 10 or 50 or 100 creates exponentially more than $70 or $350 or $700. I’m curious to see what will happen.
My friend Sarah reminded me that ‘it’s all an experiment.’ This is my experiment. I hope you’ll join if this is what you’re looking for.
The first conversation thread goes out on Sunday. The first group call is the first week of February.
