Everyone gets burnt out but understanding when you’re feeling depleted and need to take a break is so important. Having the ability to look at yourself and your energy critically and being able to make adjustments is vital for longevity because we are all only human. In today’s episode Gina lets us into what she does when she is feeling burnt out and how she refocuses her attention. You get to decide what is possible and impossible and the people you surround yourself with will help you dream bigger and be more ambitious. That’s the power of community. That’s the power of taking time off. Happy holidays.

So many people are ambivalent about starting a community out of fear. Great news. Mighty has a great alternative than a hard launch of a community. Before committing to hosting a community for the next year, try a 30 day challenge. Through a 30 day challenge you will learn, workshop and get more clear about the community you’re working towards. Additionally, you’ll get to practice charging people along with hosting a live event and even offering a course. You will learn more by doing a 30 day challenge than if you keep kicking the can down the road of an idea that could be a great community.

Sometimes we can get really excited about the social rank of our members, and we can lose focus on the thing that keeps people engaged…transitions. When identifying transitions, it helps you be able to articulate the benefits and results your member is going to get will get them their best year ever. Once you have a clear transition, you can go deep on monthly themes and daily questions. Your members will see progress when the value is clear.

Communities are really forgiving and they’re a great place to try something new and make mistakes. The whole concept of workshopping is for when you’re stuck and need help. In today’s episode Gina breaks down how your members can help you build the path forward for where they want to go next. You don’t want to be the host that lets their community decide everything, communities want someone to build the framework but growing and evolving together can be energizing and fun.
