Community is the cornerstone of empowerment. It’s where connections flourish and transformation takes root.
Deb Schell, a global entrepreneur with over 60 businesses under her guidance, shares invaluable insights on online community building. From discovery to strategy and implementation, she simplifies user and backend experiences. In this enlightening episode, she offers her expert hacks from her book “The Creation to Community Builder”. Communities are a big part of our lives, but often lack intentional engagement. Maintaining relationships can be tough even in private life, and social media are more distractions than help. Online communities are great for building consistency, habits, and support for a business. Do you see yourself as a Community Builder?

Notes:
⭐ Deb assisted over 60 entrepreneurs in building and growing their online communities through podcasting and consulting. 01:35
✅ Community builders must place a high priority on establishing psychological safety and purposeful connections among members in order to cultivate meaningful relationships. 09:32
🤝 Having a breakout room to mingle with a few people is a great way to make people feel at ease: retreats are also fantastic for online communities. 12:22
❣️ Community doesn’t solve every problem: to build a community, you have to work on connections rather than content and comprehend real people, not just their personas. 19:19
👉 Community is about consistency and habits: we can continue to forge deeper relationships in this way instead of expanding widely, as we do on social media. 25:16
🔵 The goal of the community is to connect people around a particular topic and solve a specific problem: priority is the value, not content frequency. 27:16
💵 Community is also a beneficial addition to the business: hiring community managers and making investments in communities. 30:41
❗ The frameworks that worked for six and seven-figure people don’t work for everybody: technology doesn’t matter if you don’t have people. 36:35
💌 Dab is open to chat: for any questions, email her. 38:48

What is The She Leads® Podcast - Wealth Building & Business Growth?
The She Leads Podcast is where women entrepreneurs and business leaders get the real strategies behind scaling a business to one million dollars and beyond. Each week, host Adrienne Garland, CEO of She Leads Media, professor at NYU and Rice University, and business growth advisor, speaks with women who have actually built it: founders who broke past the revenue ceiling, executives leading thousands, and strategists rethinking how women build wealth, lead teams, and grow companies. Episodes cover business growth strategies for women, from pricing and hiring to leadership communication, AI and the future of work, networking and social capital, and the founder to CEO transition. If you're a woman entrepreneur building toward your first million or your next one, this is the show that meets you where you actually are: past the motivational fluff, deep in the work, and ready to scale.
