I talk to solopreneurs every day who feel like they aren't ready to build a community yet, because their website isn't fully finished, and they don't have an offer suite yet but in this video, I talk about why starting with a community and audience building first can actually make life so much easier (especially in 2025)
In this video, I cover:
- Why I recommend community building first
- A simple way to start finding your people
- How to create what you wish existed
- Simple action steps to start with today (even if you're brand new)
