How to Find Your Business Community
How to find your business community is one of the most overlooked parts of building a sustainable online business – because nobody warns you that being your own boss also means losing the automatic relationships that a workplace creates. In this episode, Wendy reveals why you can have a full calendar, active clients, and a connected-looking business and still feel surprisingly alone inside of it. Learn why community isn’t a side project but a core part of designing a business that’s both sustainable and enjoyable.
Today, you will walk away with…
✔ Why online business is surprisingly isolating: client relationships, coach relationships, and audience relationships all have roles attached – peers are different because they’re in it with you and don’t need the context explained
✔ Four ways to find your business community: stop looking for networking opportunities and start looking for people you genuinely want to know, put yourself where repeated interactions happen (repetition turns familiarity into relationship), be willing to make the first move (they’re probably looking for people too), and invest in the relationship before you need anything
✔ The networking vs. community distinction: networking starts with “what can this person do for me?” while community starts with “I like this person, let’s stay connected” – the byproducts (referrals, collaborations, introductions) come naturally from real relationships
✔ Why your business community isn’t extra: it provides perspective, encouragement, accountability, and someone to say “wait, why are you making this so complicated?” – things no course, podcast, or Google search ever can
