All of us community builders, man, get us together. Now that is a very good point and I could see, you know, someone who isn't in the community field like we are, you know, that being very powerful. It really is networking, right? Like community building in many ways is kind of just being willing to network in some way whether it's in person or not and, you know, a few years ago, I would have rolled my eyes at that and been like, I don't want to do that, you know, humans. But I do think like if it's a topic you're very excited about, it's fun. And that's also just kind of a good like pulse check with whatever it is you're creating. Like are you excited to go talk to people about it? Because if you're not a little red flag there, you know, I mean, we all get burnt out, but like you should be genuinely like excited about
Speaker 1
what it is. Yeah, because it's going to be a lot of work. Yeah. We're
Speaker 2
close to time. So I just want to, did we miss anything or is there any other kind of takeaways you want to make sure we share today?
Speaker 1
Yeah, let me reiterate the bullets that I have here on my little list. So one, start one on one, two, think about how to turn conversations to sales, three, build a beta, four, find key partnerships, five, make sure to charge early, six, start with more than just community. So that's where I was talking about a course or some kind of retreat or some kind of experience that de-center is just people connecting with each other. So it's not awkward. And then the last two are build systems early. So the reason why we were able to hit a hundred K in the year is because we were doing a lot of the same things and getting better each cohort. And that allowed us having built the systems in the background allowed me to like not be solving the same problems over and over again. So building the systems is the next to last one. And then the last one is as soon as you can hire someone to help you. Yeah,
Speaker 2
yes. How long did it take before you hired
Speaker 1
someone? Probably like 10 months. So it was like, yeah.
