(Don’t) Do the Hustle: From Hospitalized to Sustainable Community with Tom Ross

#025 What does success in community look like? Is it getting hundreds and thousands of customers and working your socks off? Today's guest, Tom Ross, went there. At one point, he was the only full-time staff member running his seven-figure business. He burned out—badly—and ended up in the hospital. Thankfully, Tom rebounded to do some amazing things. This episode is special because we cover so much ground around what it means to be working sustainably, both personally and in the way you grow and manage a community. We tackle what it looks like to not burn yourself—or your members!—out building a community. You'll learn how to capitalize on and cater to the different personalities, styles, preferences, moods, and seasons in your community. And we hit on why many community founders run aground—and why you need to validate your community idea like a business before jumping in. Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/cx025.
