That’s all I did. Um, and so when I got burnt out, I think I had like 15 clients and that’s where I was like, Oh, you know, I can’t do this. And I wasn’t particularly charging a lot of money. Didn’t really know what to do. So when I revamped and came back in 2023, the goal became way more intentional. The goal was, okay, now I really want to go after high level executives.
Do one to one charge considerably more. Here’s where things got weird. Same thing happened where I was like, ah, I’m getting tired of this I don’t love it. I’d rather be more of a one to many, you know, and then that’s when I started learning about Communities I was like, oh, what the hell is that? And people were talking about school Skoll that was starting to blow up I was like, Oh, this is interesting.
Why don’t I try that? And so Darren, my partner, Darren Mass, he and I, we were talking about lots of different businesses after we met that first time. And then finally it sort of clicked when I had a conversation with another creator on LinkedIn. It was like, you really should be starting a community. And the only reason I hadn’t is because I knew people that had, and they were doing it by themselves, they burnt out and hated it.
So he told me, he goes, you really need, if you’re going to start a community, you really need to have a partner. Darren was like totally gung ho. We started on school that day. It was like, cause it was so easy to start. Again, that was, we got initial 10 members. We let them in for free. It was like kind of our legacy members and I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, but you know, I had a lot, you know, we, we, we had a sense created, I created a course that was sort of like a mate, you know, our, our flagship product at the time.
