(1/8) Im healing & building a community at the same time. How am I focusing on scaling @hmntycntrd this year? Im not. Im focusing on how to provide better value, experiences, & content to folks, internal infrastructure/processes & making sure my team is able to thrive & breathe.
(2/8) I want to build something that lasts & I’m okay doing it on a different timeline than what scarcity culture demands of us. I remind my team often that we’re people and purpose driven first.
(3/8) So while we could add an extra live cohort or two this year & make more, that’s not the goal or point of @hmntycntrd. We’re about community care: across our team, the HmntyCntrd community & beyond.
(4/8) And if we focus on community care, if we are people and purpose driven first, I believe everything else will follow. So what does that mean? It means we’re going to be experimenting (and failing and learning from it) a lot this year. And I can’t wait to lean into that work.
(5/8) It means we’ll be publishing an annual “Failure Report,” sharing lessons learned/ways we realized we needed to improve and grow. It means giving my team the last 45 days of the year off ... and still paying them. Rest is a form of resistance✊🏾@TheNapMinistry
(6/8) It means not killing myself by working +60hrs a week to build something that is meant to bring encouragement, restoration and growth. It means not sacrificing my well-being & relationships.
(7/8) I believe a lot of founders carry forth with them the toxic ways of working & being that they lived in when they were in corporate. I’m detoxing from all of that and hoping to bring my team and community along for the ride as well.
(8/8) More thoughts and musing on this will be shared in our next newsletter that will be sent out on Monday. Curious about how we’re thinking about challenging the status quo both personally and professionally? Stay in the loop here: join.hmntycntrd.com
