Kyle Ford (speaker) advises that creators and entrepreneurs can build highly valuable, profitable communities starting with as few as 10 people by reframing the initial cohort as a group coaching experience or mastermind rather than assuming a large following is required.
I cannot stress this enough. You can have an absolutely killer community that is highly profitable and highly valuable to your members by starting with 10 people. The reframing is maybe that first cohort is more like a group coaching experience or more like a mastermind than it is. You know, some people, when they hear the term community, they think, oh, my gosh, that has to be a thousand people. It does not need to be a thousand people to be a community and to be valuable to the members and the people that you're bringing together.
