How to Stay Motivated as a Membership Site Owner

Running a membership site is the best job in the world… but it’s still a job.

Some days you wake up and just aren’t feeling it. Your motivation is AWOL and you’ve not got a colleague to complain to, a different project to focus on, or anywhere to turn.

Well, that was until we recorded this episode of the podcast. Because we have felt that lack of motivation and almost every membership site owner we have worked with has felt the same.

Key Quotes:

“Once the day-to-day running and operation of your membership really kicks in, it’s easy to fall into habits and routines and sometimes the shine comes off the apple a little bit.”

“Being a membership site owner can be quite an isolated role because you don’t actually see your members. When you’re working one-to-many, the downside is that you don’t develop relationships that are deep enough for you to draw from to pep yourself up.”

“Even if the people you are comparing yourself to do actually have it all figured out, the chances are it’s because they’re a lot further along in their journey than you are.”

“If you decide to check out for a day or two, the world won’t stop turning. Your members don’t expect you to be in the membership serving them ASAP every single day, 24/7.”
