Stu McLaren is one of the most impactful mentors I've ever had, and I'm thrilled to bring him back to the podcast to talk about a topic that can completely transform your creative business: recurring revenue through membership sites. Stu's course, The Membership Experience, was a game changer for me. It's the only course I've ever completed on time, and it's one I return to year after year. After taking it, my membership revenue shifted from unpredictable spikes to a steady, staircase-like pattern of growth. In this episode, we explore why recurring revenue is so powerful—especially for creatives who often juggle inconsistent income streams and the demands of hands-on work. Stu shares his journey of moving from burnout and one-on-one service work to launching Wishlist Member, the world's number one WordPress membership plugin. That experience gave him unique insight into what makes a membership site succeed over time. We discuss why creatives are uniquely suited to this model, with stories of artists, painters, sticker designers, and teachers who now run thriving memberships. Stu and I also tackle common concerns like the fear of content burnout and the myth of "subscription fatigue." He offers practical, encouraging advice on how to create a membership that delivers real results and keeps your members engaged. Whether you already run a membership, are thinking about launching one, or are simply curious, this conversation is full of wisdom and actionable ideas. Stu's upcoming free live workshop is also something I recommend wholeheartedly—it's one of the most energizing events I attend every year.

Send us a textTiming is everything—and I'm offering this special episode replay just in time to access Stu McLaren's free course.Ever heard of reverse tithing? Traditional tithing means giving away 10% of your income. But what if you made so much, you could flip that—keep 10% and give away 90%?That's the wild idea my friend and business coach Stu McLaren explores. He believes success should fuel something bigger than yourself—a cause that lights you up.Sounds crazy, right? Who gives away 90%? Stu isn't saying live in a shack. He says, Picture your dream life, price it out, then 10x that number. That's the kind of impact you could have and still live well.Stu's specialty? Helping people launch and grow profitable membership sites. He's a recurring revenue wizard—and says financial peace creates space for generosity. When you're scrambling month to month, you hoard. When revenue is stable, you give freely.Success isn't about nonstop hustle. Stu breaks down the difference between hustle and grit. Grit is staying in the game long-term. Not sacrificing your family, but building a life that lifts them.Stu didn't start out this way. He shares his journey—how building schools in Kenya with his nonprofit, Village Impact, changed him. And he tells the powerful story of The Secret Billionaire. (Definitely look up the video he mentions.)If the idea of making so much you can give most of it away fires you up, here's what successful people do:Feed your mind with big ideas and bold insights.Surround yourself with people who elevate your vision.Timing is everything—and Stu's free membership workshop is about to go live. Don't miss this. It changed my life.What's Inside:How recurring revenue creates financial certainty. Does anxiety prevent generosity?The skinny on Hustle vs. Grit.Stu McLaren's free workshop for creating a membership business.What is “riching” right to you? Buying the most expensive bag OR being so stinking rich you can give away more money than you keep? Changing the world and your life. Look, that could be you. I brought back this special repeat so that you can join in on Stu's free workshop, The Membership Experience. If you could capitalize on recurring revenue, what kind of business would you start?

Transcript included below…I'm coming to you today with a bit of an announcement and update, as we continue forward.When I began creating this blog and podcast two years ago, I wasn't sure exactly how far I would take it, but I'm very pleased to celebrate the fact that for two solid years, I've been able to release an episode every single week, with today being episode 105.I have colleagues who are podcasters who sometimes take a few weeks off, but thanks to the blessing of the opportunity to batch content, as well as the Lord's provision of a lot of creativity and perspectives on how to encourage you, I can celebrate that I've been able to consistently churn out some pretty encouraging and practical stuff, without a single break.I don't claim the glory for this – it's all glory to God.  I just want to celebrate.  Two years is a significant achievement for content creation on such a consistent basis.  I also want to give a shout-out to my podcast guests, who include Dawn Jones, Erin Pakinas, Mo Higgins and Jerry Chambers.  Their insights have added much more depth to what I've put together, because they've provided outside perspectives that have really enhanced this experience.In 2019, we launched GuitarSuccess4U, our online paid offering, which I've mentioned after many of these episodes here at Guitar Serious Fun.  And if you haven't learned about it yet because you've only recently subscribed, I do cordially invite you to consider joining us.The website for this experience is GuitarSuccess4U.com.  As you'll discover if you explore the website, we have a lavish, yet accessible offering for beginning and intermediate Christian guitarists. This means that it's not for everyone…but the people it's for really resonate with what we've put together.  And it's so much more than a guitar learning experience; it's the opportunity to go deep with our passions for the Lord and music and how they intersect.In the process of building out GuitarSuccess4U, my wife and I studied under Stu McLaren through a training experience called Tribe.  They've since changed their name to The Membership Experience.  Based out of Ontario, Canada, they've offered some solid counsel that has launched us forward into our teaching process of taking my 30 years of experience and imparting it through the portal and community that GuitarSuccess4U provides.One thing Stu is famous for saying is “Do more of what works, and less of what doesn't.” Which brings me to the change that's coming here at Guitar Serious Fun.  We've had a steady increase in followers and readers, but as we've checked our analytics over the past two years for how many folks have read the blog or listened to the podcast, the increase has not been as “up and to the right” as we would have liked.I love to create long form content, but in the case of this podcast, it's a lot like a journal.  As one of our Guitar Successors shared with me, some of what I've put together here has likely been for…me.  And it's been a great way to process my thoughts and journey.It has also, of course, been for you – my listeners or readers. Now, I know from our list of subscribers that a significant portion of those who follow Guitar Serious Fun are already members of GuitarSuccess4U.  Which is awesome. Perhaps you are not yet a member but are considering GuitarSuccess4U, and I sincerely hope you do.  I challenge you to find as meaningful and affordable of an experience as what we offer.So, this podcast and blog, Guitar Serious Fun, has been exactly that.But the avenues that seem to be gaining more traction and momentum for our ministry in this season are our GuitarSuccess4U YouTube channel and our GuitarSuccess4U Instagram account. You can find us on YouTube at youtube.com/@guitarsuccess4u.You can also find us on Instagram at instagram.com/guitarsuccess4u.We are posting almost daily on both YouTube and Instagram, and some of our shorts, vids and reels are getting some pretty good reach.  As of today's episode of Guitar Serious Fun, we have almost 900 followers on YouTube and almost 600 followers on Instagram.  Contrast this to just over 60 followers here.Now again, hear me when I say how grateful I am for your willingness to experience what I've put together.  Your investment of time and attention is a huge blessing to me.  But it is indeed time for a change. So, the change that's going to happen is this: at this point, I will be doing less of these episodes. Not that it's “not working” – but it's working less than I'd like, and as you know, we've all only got so much time to allocate to creating content, especially free content.  I love to create content.  It's something that gives me a lot of joy, and I have a working list and folder of concepts that are steadily making their way into the light.  People are loving a lot of what I'm putting together, and I've never experienced writer's block, which I guess is something that many people have struggled with.So I have no complaints.  Instead, a lot of gratitude!My wife and I serve under a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry, appropriately called “David Harsh Ministries,” and our Board of Directors has graciously counseled us to take the new approach of a monthly episode of Guitar Serious Fun, so for the foreseeable future, that's what we'll do.The episodes that will be forthcoming will be audio versions of mini topical guitar lessons.  So, you can look forward to practical, encouraging episodes that will all link to a video version of what you'll hear, sometimes accompanied by some charts and tables.Speaking transparently, my intention is not to turn the Substack for Guitar Serious Fun into a paid experience, at least not at this stage, but instead to help you gain more awareness of how we can serve you inside GuitarSuccess4U. So…what do I need from you? Well, I think the best thing you can do is comment after today's episode.  Share your thoughts.  Let me know which episode or episodes of Guitar Serious Fun resonated with you and provided encouragement or wisdom.And then, consider providing some topics we could expand upon for future episodes of Guitar Serious Fun, future videos on YouTube, or future reels on Instagram.Will you do this?  Will you grab 5 minutes to share some feedback with us? Believe me, some entire episodes of Guitar Serious Fun have come to life as the result of a single question.I want to thank you for your time today and for however long you've been experiencing these episodes.  I do look forward to our monthly connection here.And I again hope to serve you inside GuitarSuccess4U, where I'm serving our members with most of my time and energy, as we desire to impact the Kingdom of God through a legacy of learning, as our members fulfill their callings in worship leading, songwriting, and the enjoyment of music at whatever level this season calls for.Thanks for reading, and I'll see you next time!Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun!

You might be thinking, "Why the 180, Ray? Haven't you been pitching A.I. as an incredible new tool? Aren't you marketing your own copywriting A.I.?" I still believe A.I. is an incredible tool - And yes, I'm very pleased with my company's A.I. software - BUT, as I said when I first started in this business, you must be more than just a copywriter. That was true then, but now...it's absolutely critical. If you're counting on copywriting alone, you're not only eligible for a quick replacement, you're also doing a disservice to your clients (the ones you'll likely be losing soon).

"When demand is greater than supply, there is a business opportunity. I found one in The Golf Sanctuary". "So the idea has been floating around my head for six or seven years. What got me with the simulators when I played Hilton Head or one of those courses it's like, "oh this is cool". But what they did was they threw me into this imaginary world. I went, "oh my God, you've got to be kidding me. We're playing like Machu Picchu, and all sorts of crazy stuff is happening". That I got my juices flowing because I don't know how to hit this shot over a dragon. I've never practiced that shot! We're on top of a thousand foot cliff, never done that before but now I'm interested. I bet other people like this." - Billy Brown, Founder and CEO of The Golf Sanctuary in Nashville Tennessee https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/NMS7-5wr.jpg "November of 2019, I was in a pain med coma from a shoulder surgery wiping drool off my face from the codeine and thought... Golf Sanctuary. If I could go marry real estate and golf, how cool would that be?" "People that play golf, they don't have time anymore because it takes too damn long. What if I could use the enhanced simulator experience in a business? How do I execute this, how do you monetize it?"

Kelsey Sorenson of Wife Teacher Mommy has been a student of mine since 2016 when she bought my very first course on promoted pins. She was a new business owner at the time and that was the first online course she purchased to help her business grow. (I'm so honored to have been the first teacher she learned from online, and the growth Kelsey has experienced in her business since then has been incredible!)   Kelsey then went on to take my Facebook Ads Intensive course and is also a valuable part of my membership community.  Kelsey is always growing and expanding her business -- whether with Facebook ads, new products, new full-time team members, or her new membership which is rapidly growing!   Kelsey's membership, the Wife Teacher Mommy Club is an incredible, supportive community for teachers and homeschool moms where they get access to an INSANE amount of resources so they can teach well. Kelsey has done so much to make sure her membership is fun, positive, and feels like a party, but also provides the practical tools + life coaching support her club members need to succeed.   I can't wait for you to hear all about the creative ways Kelsey adds value to her Wife Teacher Mommy club and all the ways she's grown her business over the years.  You'll hear about her journey from that very first digital product she created to now her enormous Wife Teacher Mommy Club (with more than 700 members!) a huge shop full of amazing resources, and three full-time employees.   Find the full show notes for this episode here: https://brilliantbusinessmoms.com/episode224

When I chatted with Lea Jacobson about her membership, we discussed feeling guilty because having a membership can almost seem too easy for the income you can generate. Hear about that and the rest of her inspiring story in this episode.

Do you have friends that you've made online that are some of your besties?My daughter Lauryn has always laughed about my online friends.If you're part of my generation, you know, the ones of us who remember what dialup sounded like, and can still hear AOL saying “you've got mail” in our memory… you probably remember the online message boards.I was in a Yahoo “January 2000 babies” group that was local to St. Louis when I was pregnant with my daughter, and that group eventually moved to iVillage.com. Anyone else remember that?Lauryn always laughs about her online friends that she's had since she was born.There are a few that we're still friends with, in fact one of them worked at our venues for several years.I mean, you just never know where your next team member is going to come from.Fast forward to now, where we have all kinds of opportunities to make friends and network on social media.One of the first friends I made when we started in business in the online space, in 2018, is my friend Chelly Ontis.We met in what was called Tribe, it's Stu McLaren's course that is now called The Membership Experience.It was literally the smallest connection that brought us together.We were going to Stu's meetup in Toronto, and she was asking who was going and wanted to connect there.For some reason, I answered, and we started talking about all of our similarities. The first one was that we have the same first name, Michelle, and my family members call me Chelle, and she goes by Chelly, also spelled the same with a C.We also still to this day talk every single day on Marco Polo, we brainstorm all the time, we support each other in our online businesses, and also with any personal things that come up.Chelly and I both also have all kinds of friends in online places now, I love it so much.And she's not the only one I met there and am now BFFs with.My friend Allison and I have also met up with each other's families.I thought the course was a bit of an investment when I signed up, but I had no idea the life changing value it would give me even just personally.The networking opportunities in online friendships are absolutely endless.Even if you make a connection with someone online who isn't in your exact same business or space, you would be so surprised at what you can do to serve each other's audiences, and basically borrow each other's audiences for your own business' marketing.I have a blast being a part of and watching friendships form in my programs.I can't tell you how happy it makes my heart when I see members of my Let's Book Clients membership connecting and forming friendships.I love seeing them all over the internet working together.Is this something you do too? Or something you want to do?My hot tip for this episode, is to tell you to keep your mind open to online connections that become friendships and your best business tools.Whether it's in a group you're in, like I am in The Membership Experience, or one of my groups, The Wedding Vendors Community on Facebook or my Let's Book Clients mastermind, or Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, wherever you like to hang outSpeaking of the DMs, mine are always open, so reach out if you Do you wish you could fill your calendar faster and easier?It's always easy to do on your own, so I've created a free challenge for you, where we'll walk through it together.The challenge starts on September 21, when you sign up right now you'll get an action item that will have you starting with the right foundation!Just go to www.letsbookclients.com/referralschallenge to sign up today!

This a special episode - something I've never done before! This will go in reverse; I'm repurposing an interview where I was the guest because it was too good and I couldn't let it go to waste. A dream come true: My mentor Stu Mclaren founder of the Membership Experience, former Tribe, invited me to share more about the success of my membership The Empowered Woman School - and I was over the moon! If you don't know Stu, he's a marketing genius with over 20 years of experience, a philanthropist and of course, a membership expert. He's hosting his yearly and FREE membership workshop this week, starting tomorrow April 21st and you HAVE to be there.

Kim Thornton's membership started in person, then went online during the pandemic. Now it is going strong both online AND offline. Hear her story in this episode.

In 2019, Jackie Grundberg was not an entrepreneur - she just had an idea. She ran with it, and now her membership business has given her location and time freedom. In fact she'll soon be spending 5 weeks traveling Europe with her family! Listen to hear her story and how she did it and how you can too.

Stu McLaren is one of my favourite people in the world. He has helped more people than anybody to start, launch and grow membership businesses. A membership gives you a recurring revenue stream and a more predictable cash flow - which can make a big difference to the value of your business and how confident you feel about your bank account will look from month to month. When you know where your next dollar is coming from, YOU experience fewer "headaches", and less stress, and you can sleep soundly at night knowing that you'll be again and again every month. Stu McLaren is the creator of the Membership Experience, and he is my guest today. In this interview, we dive into: The revenue model that Zoom, Netflix and Disney use that solopreneurs and small businesses owners worldwide are now ALSO using to create highly profitable businesses. Why membership is a way to future-proof your business against fluctuations in the economy. Why you don't need to have a popular website, a big email list OR a social media following to have a successful membership. The RISKIEST thing you can do right now in your business. And how to join Stu's free workshop: "Turn What You Already Know, Love, And Do Into A Profitable Membership”. I know you'll love Stu's enthusiasm, infectious personality, and incredible smarts. "Turn What You Already Know, Love, And Do Into A Profitable Membership” I'm a big fan of Stu McLaren. I had seen him help thousands of women business owners to go from wondering how they're going to have a more predictable income to creating businesses where they feel confident, knowing when to invest in a new team member, equipment and growth.

About this episode... Ready to get inspired? On my podcast today I wanted four VERY different membership site owners to share their stories with you. What I love about these 4 owners is that they ALL serve very different audiences. They all have VERY different membership offers-- some are online only, some are in-person and online, some are physical products mixed with digital ones-- and they all serve VERY different audiences-- but they all WORK. And even better yet? They are all at different stages and different price points. Kathryn is at 17 members at $85 and couldn't be happier-- but does hope to relaunch for the first time in a year next month! Juliana is expecting to reach 500 members this month at $25. Jerry just launched a new $197 membership to supplement his existing membership business. I hope these stories give you a lot of insight into the possibilities the membership world has to offer and how YOU can find the intersection of market need with your passion and knowledge to create the perfect business for YOUR life.

About this episode... If you need inspiration for a membership idea-- THIS episode is for you! The most common objection I hear from people who WANT the income and lifestyle of being a membership owner is that they don't have the IDEA or inspiration to figure out exactly what they'd offer, so I wanted to try something different. I made a list of my friends, family members, and even some business peers who do NOT currently have a membership site. I am going to tell you a little about each of them, and I am going to map out MY idea for their membership site. And I am not just going to give you the topic, I am going to share a ballpark of what I'd price it at and exactly what I would offer every single month. And if you're thinking well-- it seems like SO much work and such a time suck-- well stay tuned for the remainder of this 8 part series, because it's actually QUITE the opposite. And as I say all the time, with a membership, you put in the same amount of time and effort whether you have 5 or 5,000 members-- so your revenue potential (and therefore your income potential) is really limitless! Let's get inspired today!

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogWhether you are currently in your dream job or looking for something new, you won't want to miss these strategies to help yourself, your colleagues and friends to make the meaningful progress in their career. Relationships are everything, especially when it comes to building trust, credibility, expertise and opportunities, so I was super excited to have this conversation with International Association of Women (IAW) Vice President of Marketing and Membership Experience, Megan Bozzuto. Regardless if you are climbing in your current role or looking for something new, here are 4 key strategies from our interview to help you to be intentional when networking:1.) Network with others who will believe in you and push you to get uncomfortable.2.) Ask: What is the end result I want, and what relationships do I need to build to get there?3.) Give before you receive.4.) Build or sharpen the necessary skills along the way.To be notified for future interviews be sure to connect with me here on LinkedIn AND to learn more about how to build the mindset and influence for your next level of impact, join our community at www.SherylKline.com. #womenwholead #bHERd #sherylkline
