I’ve heard from a few membership owners recently feeling overwhelmed about all the things they need to juggle in their membership.
Don’t get me wrong – there is a *lot* to do when you’re running a membership.
From attracting new audiences, to converting them into members, to delivering against the features your membership promised, and innovating on new ways to push the envelope and take your membership to the next level.

Sometimes it’s easy to find yourself with your head down just focusing on the next thing that needs to get done. The next guest expert that’s going to present, or the next newsletter that needs to be scheduled. And trust me that this is not where you and your team want to be.
You’d be surprised at the number of memberships operating in this way, though (or maybe you wouldn’t be!).
Before they know it, they find themselves in a cycle of attracting members, “doing what they’ve always done,” and losing those members. Then needing to acquire more members. And the cycle continues.

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I’ve been reading Mike Michalowicz’s “Clockwork.” It’s a book focused on helping you run your business – you guessed it – like clockwork.
One framework he shares in the book really resonated with me in how it could be applied to memberships.
I actually talked about it in this week’s free live training in the Facebook Group (Loyalty Growth Lounge). I also gave some tips to help you prioritise your tasks in your membership whether you’re a solopreneur, or have a membership manager in your team.
As they say, it’s easy to get lost in the bushes, but this framework and these tips will help you start to think about how you can keep your eyes on innovation and improving your membership.
