Starting with Compelling Value and Signature Gatherings

Communities often fail when the value of being a member isn't compelling enough. Starting with two or three signature gatherings that offer significant value to ideal members is crucial. This approach sets clear expectations and fosters a two-way commitment between founders and members, enhancing member engagement and retention. Examples like hot seats and live workshops, expert-led classes, and accountability groups highlight the importance of creating valuable and interactive community experiences.
