I Shut Down My 75k Facebook Group: What I'm Doing Instead
Listen now
Description
Since 2015, we have built our Facebook group into a thriving 75k member community. This year, I decided to shut it down.   Walking away from something that’s “doing well” is scary, but if it’s not lighting us up, it’s the right thing to do.   The Facebook group was working - even growing, but the truth is: I had started to resent it. I didn’t fall out of love with building community. I fell out of love with doing it on someone else’s terms.   So, the BossMom+ app was born! We aren’t just building a village, we’re building a city where moms can grow their businesses without social media.   When did I know it was time to walk away from Facebook? Why did I choose to build something totally different? In this episode, I share why we left our Facebook group and what we’re doing instead.    We need to feel empowered to make changes and not worry about what people think, because there’s no way to make everyone happy. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Community without social media Building community is what I love and what I’m known for.
