Surprisingly, smaller communities were found to be more successful, and building a community can start in just a few weeks.

Tune in to hear more valuable tips and inspiring success stories in the world of community building.

The Power of Community

1. Smaller communities deliver more value: Smaller communities allow for more personal connections, deeper engagement, and tighter-knit relationships among members, which can lead to more meaningful interactions and outcomes.

"A lot of people think bigger is better. If you look at the communities that were very well respected and beloved... A lot of times, the smaller, the better."

2. Finding the right pricing strategy: The value proposition and signature offerings of a community should help determine the appropriate pricing. Communities can come in various price points depending on the value they offer and the type of customer they serve.

3. The power of human touch: Even as automation plays a role in community management, the genuine human connections, friendships, and private discussions that occur behind the scenes can be as valuable as public engagement, shaping and sustaining the community over time.

🔮 Embrace Creative Consciousness: Lenka emphasizes the importance of accessing the "higher mind" for intuitive ideas and solutions, and aligning with one's real self to create from within.

🚀 Strengthen Intuitive Intelligence: Learn the 4-step routine for strengthening intuitive intelligence, including offloading negativity, visualizing success, seeking internal guidance, and implementing ideas.

💡 Balance Logic with Energy: Lenka and Nathalie delve into the need for entrepreneurs to balance logic and creative consciousness, and to not stay in a problem-solving mindset, but to access the "magic beyond our minds, beyond our logic" for transformative results.

Tune in to the episode to explore these fascinating insights! And don't miss Lenka's book, "Energetic Selling and Marketing," for a deeper dive into energetics in business.

Lenka Lutonska's journey began in Slovakia, where she struggled with bulimia and low self-esteem at a young age. Instead of beginning university as planned, she made a bold decision to start anew in London, believing it to be a city where dreams come true. Working at McDonald's and immersing herself in the study of the human mind, Lenka eventually became one of the top NLP trainers.

This paved the way for her to launch her own successful business, lose it all because of a bad partnership, and then rebuild the one she has today, where she continues to help others transform their lives. Her past struggles fuel her passion for empowering others, making her a source of inspiration for many.

After I reach this next milestone, then I'll take a vacation.

Once this launch is over, I can slow down and rest.

When I get things to the next level, then I'll take better care of myself.

This is part of the Myths of Momentum series, where we’re looking at what we’ve been told success should look and feel like. We often imagine that success should come easy, happen quickly, and be fun. 

Folding laundry is painful (or at least no fun).

Running a business is stressful. No matter how awesome the people who work with you are, there are stressful moments.

We often believe that if it's meant to be, it will be easy.

Maybe success will come easy, and that would be a sign that we're on the right path...

So if success isn't forthcoming, we doubt our decisions and end up quitting... often right before our efforts pay off.
