Should you build your audience or membership first?

Feeling stuck in your business? You might be asking the wrong people for advice. In this episode, I’m sharing a story that totally caught me off guard — a call with a brilliant Scaling Deep Society member who was struggling to monetize her incredibly unique work. She told me she couldn’t do something because her web developer said so. And that’s when I had to jump in and say… wait, what?! Here’s the thing: most of us don’t have the right support around us to make strategic decisions. We’re often flying solo, turning to specialists for answers — but they only see one small piece of the puzzle. That’s why learning to think like a business strategist (or hiring one!) is a total game changer. In this video, we’re diving into:  ✓ Why strategy beats tactics every time ✓  What makes a strategist different from a coach ✓ Signs you might already be a natural strategic thinker ✓  The big-picture skills that help you grow without burning out ✓  How to become the CEO your business actually needs Ready to become a highly paid strategist? ✨  Learn more + apply for the Strategist Training Program: 👉 https://scalingdeep.com/strategist

There's nothing wrong with being a coach, but that's not exactly why you'd create a membership, right? To have your members co-dependent on your response to every question? Nope! This is a trend I'm starting to notice. When memberships ... 1) Give away so much they make other profitable upsells irrelevant 📉 2) Replace the coaching relationship only you don't get paid for it 😒 This is exactly the debacle my VIP client had, until we retooled her program on Monday. She LOVES her membership but also felt like she was overcommitted to weekly calls + content delivery and had created a kind of co-dependency on her. Her model wasn't scalable. She was too focused on responding to everything members asked about instead of leading them forward. Which, actually, as it turned out meant delivering a lot less to her members who couldn't keep up with it all anyway. Instead, she's creating a long-term roadmap they can follow. Dead simple.

In this video, I am sharing with you where I am at in my subscription building & launch journey, as well as how I am using AI. I’ll admit, I was not the quickest to jump onto the AI bandwagon. I’ve always thought that sure, AI can be useful, but the human touch cannot be replaced. And I actually still stand very firm on this believe. However, I learned that I can use AI to support my subscription launch in a way that doesn't take over MY ROLE in developing a person-centred service.
