Build A Coaching Biz You Love With Community At The Core

Ever wonder if you can build a biz you love that’s more than just profit? My guest, Tara Rhodes did, and her story’s a wake-up call. 

Tara is committed to helping quiet rebels who feel stuck in the middle be willing to look at their stuff so they can figure out who they want to be in the world. 

Over the last year, Tara has realized that a traditional coaching model isn’t the model for her anymore. She craved a business overflowing with things she loved, but the traditional model just wasn’t cutting it. Ditching one-on-one coaching for something that packed a punch with passion was the game.

The idea of sparking “aha moments” within a community sets her soul on fire. That’s right, Tara’s all about creating those electric moments when people really get it, and she believes they’re even more powerful in a group setting.

Tara realized she’s not just in it for those private wins, but for the collective energy that blooms when people click together. She’s out to build a business thriving on that group magic. The big questions are still on the table: Will folks dig this community vibe? Can they pay for it? And can you really make money running a community-centric business?

Cultivating A Community-Centric Business

Tara is on a quest to build a vibrant, camp-like community that doesn’t lean on one-on-one client work for revenue. Her vision is a space where connections blossom naturally, an environment where every member feels at home, sharing that unparalleled summer camp vibe.

This approach to monetization is inventive and community-focused. Tara envisions a diverse ecosystem of offerings. 

Imagine engaging bite-sized training sessions, flexible pay-what-you-can book clubs, and other interactive elements. These aren’t just revenue streams. They are invitations for deeper engagement, designed to weave members more tightly into the fabric of the community – all while keeping that dreaded salesy vibe at bay.

Crafting Engaging Experiences

As Tara ventures into the world of content creation, her aim is clear: to foster a show that mirrors the ease and unpredictability of a heart-to-heart with a close friend. A podcast is just the starting point – a gateway to the broader community she dreams of creating. 

Tara’s journey is a testament to the power of steady, authentic community building. It’s not about chasing the limelight; it’s about consistently delivering value and warmth, much like a summer camp for the soul. 

Tara’s unwavering commitment to sharing her passions and embracing her authentic self acts as a magnet, drawing in those who resonate with her vision. 

The cornerstone of building a biz you love is nurturing a community grounded in shared values and collective experiences.
