Wednesday morning, as I sat in my quiet time deciding what I needed to do for the day, I realized that my list of things to do was looking a little too familiar. I enjoy doing most everything on the list, or I did yesterday, but it’s beginning to get a little too comfortable for my tastes.
I don’t like to get comfortable. Comfortable eventually means boring too me. It can also mean stagnation. I HAVE to be learning and growing and helping people.
Of course, what I do every day helps people. There are many people who benefit greatly by the websites that I develop. I feel good contributing the skills I’ve acquired and helping people with the technical things that they don’t understand and may not ever want to understand. I even learn and grow doing what I’m doing, but I like to be on the fast track, and lately, I don’t feel like I’m learning and growing nearly as much as I could be. I’m not getting any younger and there are still a lot of things left to do on my bucket list.
So, even though what I’m doing was my passion yesterday, I have grown, therefore my passions may change or, maybe a better way to say it is that my passions intensify as I grow. As I become more capable and increase my knowledge, I feel the need to step out of my comfort zone and intensify my search for a more passionate life.
I sat thinking about my passions and asked myself the question, “If I could do ANYTHING, what would I do?” I know it has to involve computers and programming to an extent. I also know it has to be helping people. I will never be satisfied if I’m not helping someone. And it would have to involve teaching. I really have a passion for teaching, as I’ve explained before, because I feel that that’s the way I learn the most.
It hit me that I could start a community where I helped people start living their dreams. I believe that many people don’t feel that they can live their dreams because something is holding them back. Usually, that’s money. In my line of work, I’ve watched many people make LOTS of money online. I’ve even helped them do it. I KNOW it can be done. And I know HOW it’s done. I’ve been studying this stuff for a long time and I KNOW how it all works.
I truly believe that to live our dreams, we must help others live their dreams. I started thinking of ways that I could help. I could teach web building classes, which I’m already doing. That is going well and I hope to continue to do that, but the way I’m doing it now, it’s hard to tell how everyone is doing. There are so many people in the group, that if they were to all respond, it would be chaos. I have to make a better way. Right now, I can’t make that personal connection that I want to have.
Another way I could help is to educate people on internet marketing and ways to bring more traffic to their sites and convert that traffic to paying customers. I could help people find their passions and then figure out how to make a profit from that so that they could spend more time on their passions and less time worrying about money or stressing in a job that they don’t enjoy.
I truly believe that we have entered the information age and that most jobs will be online and mobile before long. Jobs are already heading in that direction. I also believe that many more of us will be working for ourselves instead of working for someone else. And I believe that’s the way it should be! We NEED to be online and the sooner we are using our passions online and converting those to money, the better off we will be.
It takes many online tools to convert those passions into dreams. I can provide those tools. I know which tools are needed and I have either built them myself, will build them or know where to find the most valuable services. I CAN help people turn their dreams into a reality. I know where to find the information, tools and services that are needed to make an online business work. I enjoy studying online marketing and cutting edge technology so that I can help others keep up with the constant changes.
So, since I KNOW all this stuff and I have a passionate desire to help others, I am going to start this community so that I can help them to live their dreams. A place where everyone helps each other too. This community will have access to me, my tools, my knowledge, my expertise, my services, etc. I want a thriving community that is on the cutting edge of technology, information, and web services. I want a community that I can help thrive online. I will be offering discounts for all my courses, services, tools, videos, etc. to the members of this community.
Those of you that want to join this community will need to make an investment. I’ve been offering a lot of things for free such as the html classes and websites for training. What I’ve found is that when people get it for free, many of them don’t value it as much. They don’t take it as seriously. Since they have little to nothing invested, they don’t push themselves to actually take advantage of the knowledge, service, or tool. Or worse yet, they feel guilty for taking my time and won’t ask the questions that they need to ask. So, you have to pay something.
Here’s the good news. I want to reward those that sign up early and help me build this community. There will be little information at first as I get this started. Eventually, there will be MUCH information and much benefit from being a part of this community, but for now, I want to work with individuals to find out what’s needed most and how I can best be of service first. So, to reward those that sign up early and help me get this going, I am only going to charge the first 10 members only $1 per month for as long as they stay active in the community. The price to join will steadily go up after that, so the sooner you join, the less you will have to pay each month, regardless of how big the community gets or how much information is included or how many tools or services become available. Your price will never change unless you cancel your membership and then rejoin.
Keep in mind that the sooner you join, the more of my attention you will get. Eventually, as the community becomes larger, I will be spread thinner and won’t be able to help each member as much. I will come up with alternative plans as the need arises, but I want you to see the opportunity in joining early. My goal is to make this THE best online community to help and support those that want to have their own online business. I want to provide the best value for tools, services, and support. I truly believe that the more people I help become abundant, then the more abundant I will become as well.
I have a couple of websites that I need to finish up so I won’t be able to get this community together for a week or so, but I wanted to get the word out there so that you can keep watching for the launch date. I hope that I have time to get it up and running in the next week or so, but my schedule at work has been pretty demanding lately. I hope it will slow down a bit, but I just never know. So, stay tuned!
In the meantime, I would love to hear your feedback!! Please leave me a comment below or send me an email and let me know what you think. I’m anxious to see if any of you think this would be a valuable service to you or not. I WANT your suggestions! I want to make this YOUR community! To do that, YOU have to be involved
