FBU 558: The CEO Diaries: How to Retain Members (Community + Accountability Magic)

In the final episode of the CEO Diaries series, Jill discusses one of the trickiest parts of running a successful membership: retention. She breaks down why people actually cancel—usually because they're not using the membership or they feel overwhelmed—and shares how to keep members engaged through clear roadmaps, early wins, simple monthly cadences, and purposeful community-building. Jill explains the psychology behind recurring payments, why "just giving more stuff" backfires, how to design a Goldilocks amount of content, and why fostering peer-to-peer interaction creates true ownership and longevity.
