WELCOME TO SUSTAIN
We're so glad you're here! Let's dig in.
As you get acclimated, please know that Kajabi can have a bit of a learning curve. But once you get it, you'll be ready to roll. Here's what you need to know:
Circles: You'll find these along the left side of your screen in the community space. Think of them like Slack channels: Each has a specific theme and you can use them to chat with other people in the program or to ask Jenni questions. We mostly spend time together in the "general" channel but you'll find the others in use as well. Pop into the "introductions" tab to tell us about yourself!
Feed: This is where you'll land every time you jump into the SUSTAIN community. This contains the most up-to-date info about SUSTAIN, and combines all the circles.
Challenges:Â Each month, we'll all chase down a certain challenge or two related to business building. You can join challenges whenever you'd like, even if they're not technically "live."
Meet-ups: Our live calls are listed under the "meet-up" tab. As a first step, register for the New Member Call, which happens once per month! You'll get reminders about all our live calls in your inbox but you can also add them to your own calendar and RSVP via the meet-ups tab. We meet at least 4x per month, live on Zoom (your password for the session is in the meet-up description), but all sessions are also recorded, in case you can't attend live.
Learning Library: The SUSTAIN Learning Library is full of resources meant to help you on your business journey. (Find that option by clicking on "library" at the top right on your screen. It's also listed above the community space.) Please know that you do not need to jump in there right now and complete everything. We'll circle back to each topic approximately every 6 months. If a topic sounds particularly interesting to you in your business at the moment, check it out.
The SUSTAIN podcast: All sessions are loaded into the SUSTAIN private podcast. You can find by clicking "library" at the top right corner of your screen. Follow the instructions to load the podcast into your favorite app, which will automatically download previous sessions and new ones. Jenni encourages folks who like to move to take sessions with them on the go, versus needing to attend live on Zoom. (Email us at [email protected] and we can walk you through how to get the podcast set up, if you're struggling!)
Booking 1-1 coaching with Jenni: As a member of SUSTAIN, you get access to special coaching sessions with Jenni. No one else can book one-offs, unless they're in this program! Book a session here. This is a great way to kick off your time in the program; you can use these sessions as often as once per quarter. SUSTAIN members are also eligible for Voxer (voice memo)-only coaching, which you can learn more about here.
In SUSTAIN, we operate with the below principles and values in mind:
Â
SUPPORT: We support each other’s unique visions of work and life. We make all aspects of the program and our communication with one another as accessible as possible, and empower each other to take risks. This community is based on abundance and the idea that there is more than enough work, money and space for everyone. We share resources, offer service trades and offer radically candid but kind feedback to one another.
NOURISHMENT: We take the time to fill up our own cups – and calm our own nervous systems – before engaging on controversial topics. We listen closely to one another, prize an inclusive space that leaves everyone feeling less alone, and share wins as often as losses.
RELIEF: We give each other permission to be ourselves, whatever that looks like, wherever we are. We make efforts toward equity and are honest and authentic about our journeys. No judgment, no gossip, just safety. We all belong here because we’ve intentionally chosen to show up.
STEADINESS: Your pace is the right pace for you. We all show up with consistency but we also give ourselves permission to consume the program’s information as it best serves us. There is no “behind” or “ahead.” There is only here. When we show up for sessions or engage in the SUSTAIN community space, we are intentional and engaged. We take breaks often and we know that there is no arrival or finish line; there are only the little, glorious moments.
SUSTAIN is a space free of discrimination or fear. We welcome minorities and people of all walks of life. This is also a space free of bullying or harassment of any kind. We work together to honor differences and celebrate strengths. Individual qualities and contributions matter. And we uphold the values of trust, respect and confidentiality at all times.
By joining the community, you are agreeing to adhere to the above principles and approaches to building a community, together. If you have a concern about what’s happening in the community, please reach out to Jenni’s team at [email protected].Â
