Building a Close-knit Community and Prioritizing Enduring Value

By capping the community at 200 members, the creator has ensured that the community remains small enough to foster closeness and engagement among members. A smaller community helps in maintaining a sense of togetherness, where individuals are invested in each other's journeys and can influence each other's trajectories. This limitation has led to better retention rates, as the creator raised the price for new members once the cap was reached, making re-entry difficult and at a higher cost. Despite the short-term revenue sacrifice, the creator believes in prioritizing enduring value over quick growth, aiming to create a community that retains its value over time and encourages long-term membership and renewal.
