Goodbye for now, and a reminder to trust your gut
How I’m liking Circle + MemberVault (so far)
When your week doesn’t go as expected
Want to add a community element to your MV?
I’m pretty excited about my dabbles in adding Circle (a community tool) to our MV, so I break down the experience so far and my strategy for pairing a circle community + our MV marketplace + our existing FB community. If you have questions or things you’d like me to share about my experience, email me at erin@membervault.co // I also reference our new free podcast resource which you can snag at: membervault.co/podcastcentral

Your support system is invaluable
It’s always evolving, but having resources and people to support you, on good days and bad, are literally the best investments (of time or money) for your business, and life.

CEO + momlife = a delicate balance
Real talk...what my last two days have been like, and why on your down or crap days, it’s even MORE important to focus on that most important mission activity. And to cut yourself some slack! To everyone on the down rollercoaster, solidarity. To everyone on the up, enjoy it and make the most of the smooth sailing! 🙌

The hustle cycle + a decision we made this AM
We’re always looking for the slow and steady approach around here, with good work/life balance. But it can be easy to fall back into hustle mode, even when you’re actively choosing a different path. We’d fallen back into high pressure mode around here, and today I’m sharing a decision we came to this AM.

One of my biggest pet peeves
This impacts both staying customer centric (aka keeping the needs and preferences of your people front and center) AND overall sales. This is where I truly split from many sales/business strategists in the online space.

If you want to scale your business, listen to this
Join me and Jaclyn Mellone for, pretty much, a free "coaching session" to get you thinking about the best way for YOU to scale your business, and what to consider along the way. So much goodness in this episode, which is why it also clocks in as the longest episode from season 1. Totally worth it.

Join me and Ross O’Lochlainn to talk about how to avoid burning yourself out with high pressure launches, while increasing revenue and why it'll be a heck of a lot better for your business, your audience and your sanity.

How to get people to open the darn EMAIL.
