## Resource

Most memberships aren't struggling because they offer too little. They're struggling because they offer too much. In this episode, I break down a recent strategy session with my client Matt, whose membership had four tiers, an overwhelming content library, and way too much decision friction in the buying process. We simplified everything: two tiers instead of four, one central hub for connection, and a searchable workshops library. Less than a month after implementing, he had 21 new signups and $2,600 in new monthly recurring revenue. I also share why personalization belongs inside the membership, not before someone buys, and how Matt uses an onboarding quiz plus AI and the Circle MCP to build personalized 3 month roadmaps for new members. If your membership feels complicated or convoluted, this one is for you. Interested in our strategy process?
