If you are stuck and you're like, Oh, my gosh, how am I going to launch? Where's my content? What audience? I just want to take all of those things, put them in a box, and set that box on fire. Hi, I'm Gina Bianchini, and this is People Magic, where I am showing you the absolute easiest way to create a $1 million community. Now, you are joining me in the first episode of Season 2. I want to kick off Season 2 with a message I got from a friend of mine, Rob Cressy, after he had listened to all of Season 1.

Gina, happy Monday. I want to send some good vibes your way. Over the last four days, they went through the entire nine module People Magic video series. Awesome job there. Everything you guys share is world-class and great. But we both know the commitment of what it takes to not only put together the community and run it, but also to consistently bring in new members. I feel like that's something that's probably top of mind for everybody. How do I make more money? How do I get more people into my world? How do I get new members? But one of the things that I've learned along the way is all around so many people get stuck at zero. And things are great one year from now or two years from now when you've got this thing cooking. And you talk about, Hey, let's get your first 30 members in there. But I know deep inside of the people is the fear of, What if I build it and no one shows up?

I am so grateful for Rob because in all of the questions around, how am I going to get new members? And how do I make more money, and how do I do this, is the fundamental fear that is preventing you from putting yourself on a path to a million dollar members, which is, oh, my gosh, what if I host a party and no one shows up? And because no one wants to necessarily say that out loud, it shows up in a lot of different ways. It shows up in, oh, I need X before I can do Y. I need an audience before I can have a community. I need an email list before I can have a community. If I have 100 members on an email list, I need a thousand members on an email list. If I have a thousand members, I actually need 10,000. If I have 10,000, I need 100,000. There is safety in feeling like I'm preparing for my business. I'm preparing for bringing people together and providing the value that comes from creating a community of people who are on the same path. But the reality is that you can create a valuable community that you can charge a high ticket for, the smaller it is.

We have communities communities on Mighty Networks that have 10 people in them, and the hosts are charging $50,000 for four months. What is a community with 10 people? It's a mastermind. It's a mastermind. And for some reason, the term community makes someone think that you need to have hundreds of thousands of people to make it valuable and that you could only charge $9 what Netflix charges. I want to disavalue of all of these false beliefs. These are myths. I have the data behind me that I can give you permission today that Just with your network alone, just with your people alone and the people that your people know, you can create a community with just 10 people, and you can charge a premium for bringing them together. So what's the secret? What's the secret? The secret is people magic. And the nine simple things that are really that easy. So many people get stuck at zero. If you are stuck at zero, first of all, I just want to grab you and say, All right, we've got this together. We're going to go do this together. You are not alone. And when you're starting with zero, the single best thing that you can do is get really, really clear on your ideal member.

Who is the person that needs a community the most right now? And who are you the most excited to bring together? When you can answer that question with the same person, with the same profile, you've got something, and you've got something incredibly special. So if you are stuck and you're like, Oh, my gosh, how am I going to launch? Where's my content? What audience? I just want to take all of those things meetings, put them in a box, and set that box on fire. Because the only thing that matters is who you are bringing together and finding the most motivated people to meet and build relationships with each other, people who are on the same path, specifically people who are in the same transition. That is literally 90% of what you need to create a successful $1 million business today. It's not about your content. It's not about your ad funnel. It's not about your video sales letter. It's not about your social media following. It's it's not about the number of email addresses that you have. You can start with your network to your people, the people that your people know. And as you start to bring together those first 10 people, the people that those 10 people know.

People don't believe me because most of us, if we're aspiring entrepreneurs or if we're business owners who are spending a lot of our time on, whether it's Twitter, or whether it's LinkedIn, or whether it's Instagram, or whether it's the 47 newsletters you're getting all around business ownership or entrepreneurship, it all makes it so much harder than it needs to be because number one, as people, we are drawn to the stories, experiences, and ideas of other people. We want to learn from other people. We want to build relationships with other people. Value comes from relationships. It doesn't come from content. And yet, if you listen to all the the gurus who are out there, they're like, Where are you building your content? Where are your lead magnets? Where is more content? You need to be posting on six different platforms 5-10 times a day. And by the way, you need to learn all of these different video styles and text styles and all this stuff. How do I know this? Because this is what the gurus are telling me. I've hired them. I know what is out there and what I'm supposed to do, and here's the thing that I If you would drop me anywhere today and asked, Okay, Gina, what is the fastest way to $10,000 a month in revenue?

All of that audience funnels, social media posts, all of that is noise. The thing that I would do is start with, who do I know? What transition am How am I the most excited to bring people together around today? How do I help people build to their best year ever? How do I go and take the simple formula of a big purpose? I or we bring together so that we can and start to just bring together 10 people. Start to bring together those 10 people to bring value to each other and recruit new people in. That is what I would do. The rest is noise. Now, is this a controversial perspective? Absolutely. There is no question that this is controversial. However, I also have the data of about a million, no joke, a million online courses, challenges, paid memberships, and events behind me. And what I know to be true is that we are in a moment of fundamental change. Why? Because the software that is driving things like connections between members, the ability to build relationships between people, it is getting more and more sophisticated. And because of that, it is getting easier and easier for you to create a business that is fundamentally based on creating relationships between people or what I call people magic.

And because of this, it is more important for you as a business owner, as an entrepreneur, to understand people's motivations, especially people's motivations when they're in a transition. Because when someone is in a transition, they are most likely to money. They are most likely to join something. They are most likely to contribute. They are most likely to bring in new people who might be going through that same transition as well. And so this is different. This is controversial. I am not saying things that you're going to hear from a lot of other people who, even when they are believers in community, they're giving really bad advice. The difference between finding your niche and choosing somebody in a transition. I've now taught this to over 10,000 people. And what I will tell you is when you focus on a transition, you will be successful faster. Full stop. The whole riches are in the niches. I get it. It sounds good. Everybody else is saying it. You're not going to get fired from being an aspiring guru if you say those things. But the reality is it's still too hard for people. So that's why I'm even doing this podcast, because I want more people to see the power of starting with somebody in a transition, especially when you're starting from scratch.

So if you are sitting there at zero and aren't sure where to start or finding yourself making those I'm not going to call them excuses, but they look and sound a lot like excuses around, Oh, well, first I need an audience. First I need a list. First I need all of these other things. I want to point out that you're in a transition, too. And the transition that you are in is someone who is motivated to go from zero to 10. That's all you have to do. You don't have to worry about what happens at 100. Just go from zero to 10. And you're one of the people that I'm making this podcast for because I want to help you step by step, action by action, go from zero with your people and your people's people, and show you how easy it is to pitch your new community, which, again, can be monetized through online courses, paid memberships, challenges and events, and the power of building a digital business by bringing people together, introducing them, making it really clear that we are going to go through this transition together. We are going to be able to have our best year ever together.
