Your community. Your courses. One connected business.

For seven years I tried every piece on its own. A list here, an event there, a new tactic every season. Each one ended back at zero, because none of them led to the next.

By 2009 I was living in a green 1996 Dodge Caravan in Hawaii. One night a cop knocked on the window and wrote me a ticket for sleeping there. Forty-five dollars. It was exactly what I had left. Something inside me just changed.

That same week I sat in a Safeway in Honolulu, because they had internet, and watched a video of a man who did not look like much. He was nervous. He had no advantages. I leaned forward in that chair. If him, then me. I wrote ten pages in a notebook: where I'd live, what I'd build, who I'd help.

Here's what I finally saw. A preacher isn't much good talking to himself in front of a whiteboard. I didn't need more to say. I needed a crowd.

So I started writing online, because it was all I could afford. For the first time, something I made stayed put. A blog post kept talking to people while I slept, in countries I'd never been to.

Then I made an offer of my own, to people who already knew my voice, and ten of them said yes.

A man I respected told me to start a weekly call. I said I only had 82 people. He said, "You should have started when you had one." So I started. And the people kept showing up, week after week, because the call was a place, not a campaign. That was my first real community.

A crowd. An offer. A follow-up that brought people back. That's the whole business.

And here's what took me years to admit. I was the join. Me, late at night, holding every piece together with my own two hands. That's why it never grew past me.

So I stopped trying to be the glue, and built one place where the pieces are already joined.

Today, that first weekly call would be one event in your community, with the reminder sent for you and the replay waiting afterwards.

That place is I AM Transformation. Your community, your offer, your funnel and your follow-up, already joined in one login, so the crowd you gather can become a community, find your offer and keep coming back.
