If this was your first download, welcome to The Joy of Membership!

Here, membership isn't just a business model. It's a way of uniting people with shared interests and inspiring change.

The people who hang out with me are creative, passionate change makers who are building memberships that have real impact on people's lives, businesses, industry or the world-at- large.

If that sounds like you, stick around. You'll like it here.

Better yet, consider joining The Circle, where you can connect with other membership-builders and find helpful trainings and support.

Complete details are at joyofmembership.com/join.

Of course, if it's not the right time yet, that's a-OK. Going forward, I'll be in touch about once a week to keep you up-to- date on what's happening around here.  I look forward to getting to know you!

I have to admit:  Autumn is my season.  I love the colors.  I love the cooler temperatures.  I love how my clients get re-energized after a summer that is often spent juggling family and business.
