David Homan on where a community actually starts.

Give people a reason to join that is not about you and not about them. Something bigger than both. That is the beginning.

He put the question to Kris directly, about her book. What is your why, such that when people respond to it they add to it, and all of you end up better for it? Answer that and you have your purpose. Skip it and you have a group with no reason to hold together.

Full conversation with David Homan is live on Episode 83 of the From Click to Client Podcast.

David Homan describes what a connector actually does, and it is more specific than being friendly.

They read between the lines. They hear what is not being said. They catch the why underneath the request, and then they match two people who turned out to be asking for the same thing from opposite sides.

The part that makes it stick is that the connector wants nothing from it. That is exactly why the introduction still holds years later. The person you introduced will take the call from someone you send, even if the two of you have not spoken in a while, because you were the reason their thing started.

David Homan is blunt about this. If you build a network of people who look like you and talk like you, it will fail you. A choir does not help you. A room full of yes is not a room worth being in.

He pairs that with a second rule. Lead with generosity, be honorable in return, and be honest that without both, people will take advantage of you.

Kris's read on it: curating the group beats growing the group. W**d out the bad apples. Build a place where people feel safe and actually want to help each other. That may be the fastest way any of us make things better.

David Homan wanted a community where people walk in and immediately ask each other how they can help.

So he got specific about who belongs in it. His filter was action-oriented natural givers he would leave his children with. That is the actual standard, not a metaphor.

Try it yourself. Think about who the top connectors are in your world and you will land on two, maybe three, sometimes five people. High integrity, very busy, and giving anyway. That short list is the beginning of something.

Most people walk into a networking event quietly hoping they will not have to meet anyone new.

David Homan builds his events around the opposite. He puts you in a small room with a few people he has already decided you should meet, and then he does not tell you why. You end up talking, because there are four of you in there and silence is not an option.

His measure of a good event is simple. People met because he told them to, and they were glad they did. Get that part right and it matters a lot less which platform you run your community on.

I told David Homan I do not have a community. He told me I already do, I just have not turned the lights on.

I have been circling this idea for a while and it always felt like one more thing to manage. Another platform, another reason to be online. So I asked him how he built his, bracing for a playbook I would never have time for.

Instead he pointed at what was already there. The podcast listeners. The clients who show up to Friday office hours and start giving each other feedback before I can even respond. That is a community. The only real question is whether I make it intentional.

He also said something about connectors that I have not stopped thinking about. When someone lands a client because you made the introduction, you are usually the last person anyone remembers to thank.

Episode 83 of From Click to Client is out now.

Adam Roach's father was an Olympic swim coach. He grew up surrounded by coaching and did not recognize it as coaching until much later.

He played collegiate tennis, took a run at going pro, and found out fast that he was an American and not a European. His words, not mine. He was getting his butt kicked, and that was the end of that plan.

What he landed on instead is a belief that the coaching space has to be a calling. He says he almost feels naked without a coach somewhere in his world.

Episode 82 with Adam Roach is about what happens when coaches build their business around the wrong version of themselves.

One of Adam Roach's clients built a TED Talk around a single idea: we all carry an adversity backpack.

Everyone has one. The question is what you keep inside it, because the same experience can be the thing that helps you or the thing that anchors you in place.

He would know. He came from a background most people would call hard, and it became the work he does now instead of the thing he kept quiet about.

Episode 82 with Adam Roach is about how that shift happens, and why the story you would rather not tell is often the one your people need.

Sara spent years hearing "I don't get it" about her own work. Every time it happened, it planted another seed of self doubt, and that compounding is the part most people miss about a messaging problem.

We built her a bank of copy and messaging she can pull from. Now when she needs to say something about her business, she opens the documents and takes what she needs instead of starting from a blank page.

The part I care about most is what happened with her language. We made some courageous choices together, and those choices excite the exact people she wants to serve. Her word for it was goosebumps.

If you have rewritten your messaging for the tenth time and still hear "I don't get it," a conversation might be the faster path. https://www.reddoorstories.com/

Do you cringe every time you send someone to your website?

You're not alone, and it's not a writing problem. On the Six Figure Business Mastery Podcast, I talked with Kirsten and Jeanne about why you can't read your own message clearly, and what's actually going on when your website falls flat.
