330. Building an engaged community with Elise Daniels

This week I'm chatting with Elise Daniels about building an engaged community.  We discuss the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and experimentation in building an engaged community. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation: Be Authentic and Vulnerable: When building a community, it's essential to share your heart and who you are. By being authentic and vulnerable, you create a magnetic message that attracts the right people to your community. Go Deep with Your Audience: By taking the time to get to know your audience, you can create a community that feels like a safe space where people can connect and grow. This is essential for creating an engaged community that is eager to buy from you. Experiment and Iterate: Success is not a straight line, and it often takes time, experimentation, and a willingness to pivot to find what truly works. By being open to feedback and willing to learn, you can create a community that is constantly growing and evolving. It Takes Time: Building an engaged community takes time. It's not something that happens overnight. It requires consistent effort, commitment, and a willingness to show up day after day, even when it feels hard.
