Build success through community and personal growth with Jordan godbey
from Scaling the Gap · host Madeleine MacRae
What if growing your business starts with cutting off most of your opportunities?In this episode of Bold Enough, Madeleine MacRae sits down with Jordan godbey, founder of Growth Community, to explore what it really takes to build a business around focus, expertise, and meaningful impact.Jordan shares how moving away from a “do everything for everyone” agency model and committing to one highly specific niche helped him become a leading expert in building online communities. He opens up about the uncomfortable decisions behind that growth, including turning down revenue, rebuilding after his team changed, and questioning the traditional idea that scaling always means adding more people.The conversation goes deeper than business strategy. Jordan and Madeleine unpack the personal transformation required to become a high-growth entrepreneur, why your business can only grow as far as you do, and how patience, resilience, and identity shape the entrepreneurial journey.They also challenge one of the most common definitions of success: money.Jordan shares why he now considers himself successful even though he believes there is still significant financial growth ahead, and how freedom, family, meaningful work, relationships, impact, and progress have become much more important measures of a life well lived.In this episode, you’ll hear about:• Why specialization can accelerate growth and mastery• The power of community-based businesses• Why deciding also means cutting opportunities off• Becoming the person your future goals require• Navigating failure, uncertainty, and entrepreneurial reinvention• Why personal development can become a business bottleneck• Running your own race instead of comparing yourself to others• Building a definition of success that goes far beyond revenueIf you’re building a business while also figuring out who you want to become along the way, this conversation is for you.Jordan GodbeyWebsite: https://growthcommunity.co/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordangodbey/Madeleine MacRaeWebsite - https://mmmacrae.com/making-changes-training-motivating/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/macraemadeleineInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/madeleine.macrae/Book – The Tenacious Pursuit of Peace: Where to Go When Success Isn’t Enough
