I recently facilitated a complimentary call with a lovely lady who was seeking coaching with me. One of the things we discussed was the fact that she didn’t have a “tribe” and she was very focused on that when really (I saw) a larger issue…
So what do I mean by “tribe”? I mean your peeps, your folks, the ones who engage with you online. Cheer for you. Encourage you. Refer you. You get it now right?
I’ve seen this before where people compare themselves to what someone has done (audience wise) when they are starting off. And that’s never a good thing, especially when it makes you feel like what you’re doing is inadequate. Oh and by the way, this lady totally had a tribe. It was a mindset thing. Marketing means nothing without the right mindset. But I digress.
I talk about “P.B’s” in this broadcast below. You’ll know what that means when you watch it. It’s uber important that we practice this often.
Now, before you watch it, can I joke around a bit and tell you that I did not pop out of my mother’s womb with an email marketing list or a tribe lol. I had to build one, and so do you!
Person by person. Social media post by social media post. Email by email. Event by event.
It’s a process.
So how do you build one or nurture your “tribe”? I share some guidance around these points below.
- Be consistent with a small audience
- Stop Comparing yourself
- Get a system in place
If this was helpful share it and certainly comment below and let me know your biggest takeaways!
P.S. Need additional help? I got ya. Just go here.
Natalie………. this was a amazing scope with amazing content. It is sooooooo easy to get caught up in the numbers and not the big picture. Great, beneficial info. Thanks Natalie!!!
So true! I was able to sell out my first program with a very small group.
Natalie Gouche’- Mogul Mom is an incredible person. She is so real and so easy to work with.
Great Video! Yes I need to get a system going!
I absolutely love this. I tell my clients, students and children…focus on YOUR personal best and you’ll stay winning 😉 Loved this blog!
You always give the good stuff! So glad to know you and learn from you!
Amazing information.
A system is what I need to put in place… I’ll be working on it tomorrow!
Thank you, Natalie. Great message!
Natalie, Thank you for keeping simple and real with this powerful message.
Thank you Natalie Gouché this was so helpful!
It’s all relative…..the person you referenced is lamenting her 1,000 followers…I have 100 on my email list and Twitter and then 3 likes on my Facebook page!! I sure danced a little jig when I got to 100 and 3 though!! I’m maintaining the perspective that “Progress is a process” (got that from Valorie Burton) and I need to master consistency with my marketing platforms before ‘enlarging my territory’ so to speak. People don’t build large followings overnight….and just like you mentioned Sister Natalie, I don’t have the capacity to serve the 100 people I have if they came knocking! I really appreciate this encouragement and perspective….I also appreciate your linking it to spiritual principles. We have to be good stewards of what we have in order to be trusted with more.
Great reminder to stay focused and stay consistent
Always great content, Natalie!
THIS was an Amazing video!!! Biggest takeaway – if you cannot manage or maintain your “small” email list, how can you excpect to handle it once it grows?! Be Grateful for the “small” things and you’ll be Blessed to see your cup runneth over!
Thank you so much for this blog post, Natalie !! I definitely need to get a system in place and work on being consistent across my social media pages.
