Fun Fridays – April 5, 2019
“It’s not about the numbers but the people.”
Thank you, Alice and Thomas!! This makes so much sense to my heart. I love the idea of building a tribe, having that connection with people and seeing my audience as one person. Perhaps her name is Timothy! (Hey, it could happen. Some women have masculine names. 🙂 )
This podcast has answered so many of my questions and gives me peace, knowing it isn’t all about social media numbers but serving and making those connections on a deeper, more personal level.
Again, thank you and God bless!
The timing of this podcast is perfect. I am breathing more freely now as I consider the “servant” aspect of my book sales. For me, it’s never been about the money. It’s about God’s agenda. A member of my (very small) tribe sent me a message the other day and said she read the book and prayed for the first time in a long time. Her comment was worth every tear, every edit and every hair pulled. Thank you both for the reframe regarding marketing.
Thomas, This was fantastic advice! I came to this realization about a year ago.
Fun seeing you in this context. I know your family from the NCFCA days!
Blessings, Misty
