Untitled project

All right, Corey, welcome to your own personal deep dive.
Yeah.
We're going to be tackling all the changes Jenny Jones is making to her online communities and offerings going into 2025.
Yep.
You seem very confused about where things stand going forward.
And to be quite honest, some of your comments about it have been a little over the top.
Yeah, I'd say so.
So that's why we're here today, to help you understand what Jenny's doing, what.
What it means for you and figure out where you fit into this new landscape.
That's right.
Change is always a little bit scary.
Right.
Especially when it involves a community where you've come to feel comfortable.
Absolutely.
But, you know, it seems like what she's doing here is coming from a place of wanting to serve her community and audience better than ever before.
Exactly.
And look, before we get too far into the weeds, let's just do a quick recap for anyone who might not be familiar with Jenny Jones.
Sure.
She's made a name for herself in the digital marketing world, especially when it comes to helping folks snag those limited time deals.
The ltd's for software, and through her various groups and courses.
And you've been a big part of that, Corey.
Yeah.
You've been there since day one.
She's really built a vibrant and engaged community.
And her recent announcement seems to be all about making that community even stronger and even more effective.
Yeah.
She's essentially splitting her offerings into three main branches, each with a specific focus and its own dedicated YouTube channel.
Yes.
And I can definitely understand why you might be feeling a bit rattled.
Yeah.
Especially with how vocal you've been.
Yeah.
Some of those comments have been a little strongly worded.
Yeah.
Maybe a little soapboxy.
Yeah.
That's a good way to put it.
Let's take a deep breath.
Yeah.
And just try to break this down in a way that will make sense.
Yeah, let's do that.
Okay, so first up, we've got the Inner Circle.
And this seems to be geared towards the folks who are ready to move beyond those LTDs and really focus on building stable recurring revenue.
Monthly recurring revenue.
Yes.
The mrr, it's a different beast.
So think of it like this, Corey.
Ltd's are great for getting started and grabbing some awesome tools.
Right.
But MRR is where you build that long term stability for your business.
You got it.
And this Inner Circle group will be linked to her Digital Marketing Toolshed YouTube channel.
Very.
Makes sense.
Okay.
Then we have Hackpack TV.
Yeah.
Which from what I'm seeing, will continue its focus on those Ltds and juicy AppSumo deals.
Yes.
You seem to really love those, Corey.
Oh, he loves them.
You know, your enthusiasm for them is kind of legendary in the community.
It is, though maybe at times a little overwhelming.
Maybe just a tad.
This branch will be connected to the Digital Growth Hacks Club YouTube channel.
Okay, cool.
And finally there's Growth Vision TV and the small Business Growth Store.
These seem to be all about taking a broader look at scaling your business.
Yeah.
The big picture stuff.
Yeah.
Topics like taxes, smart investment strategies, and overall growth planning.
This is where you level up your business, Corey.
Think big picture.
Level up and it'll be linked to, you guessed it, let me guess, the Small business growth store YouTube channel.
Ding, ding, ding.
We have a winner.
Now, Corey, you've been firing off questions in the community, and I'm just gonna say some of them have been a little pointed.
They have.
You even admitted at one point to being on a sur box.
Yeah.
Maybe take a step back and try to see how this could actually be a good thing for you, for the community.
Maybe try to be a little bit less like the guy that just ruins the party by talking too much.
Yeah.
You mean and not really listening to.
Anybody else, dominating the conversation.
Yeah.
You know, you've got some great things to say.
Say you do, but you've got to find the right moments to say them.
Exactly.
And be respectful of the other people in the room and the host and.
Yeah, Jenny's the host here.
Yes.
You've got to remember that.
Exactly.
So let's dive into some of the specific questions and concerns that you've raised, Corey.
Okay, let's do it.
And see if we can maybe unpack them a little bit and offer some different perspectives.
Yeah, sounds good.
You're worried About Hack Pack 3 members on YouTube being removed.
Right.
And you're questioning whether the community is like totally splitting up into three different groups.
And you're even a little concerned that Jenny's gonna be dedicating like only 20% of her time to the community now.
Yeah.
Look, I get where you're coming from.
Yeah.
But it seems like you're jumping to conclusions and letting your anxiety kind of get the better of you here.
Maybe it's important to remember that sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith and trust that the person leading the charge has your best interests at heart.
True.
Especially someone like Jenny who's got such a proven track record right now.
One person who seems to have a really good grasp of this whole situation is Perry.
Yes.
He's actually Mapped out all the key elements of each of those branches and I think it's super helpful, especially for visual learners like myself.
Yeah, me too.
He's clearly thought about where he fits best and it looks like the inner circle and growth vision are more aligned with his goals right now.
Yes.
And Perry's excited about it.
Yeah, he seems to be.
He's like really happy to be moving away from the Ltd's and AppSumo deals.
Which is interesting, Right?
Yeah.
Because that's like your bread and butter, Corey.
Yes.
But he's ready to like implement what he's already purchased.
He wants to focus on building a sustainable business.
Yeah.
And minimizing taxes.
Yes.
And all the smart financial stuff.
Strategic scaling.
Yeah.
And that's a perfect example of how Jenny's specialized approach can actually be a win win for everyone.
Right.
Because now Perry can really immerse himself in content that's directly relevant to where he is in his business with a.
Group of people who are in the same boat.
And it might even be less overwhelming for you, Corey, because everyone will be in their own little niche within the community and you can connect with people who are at your level and who are facing the same challenges without, you know, derailing every conversation with your, shall we say, enthusiasm.
Your soapboxing.
Yeah, exactly.
Now I don't want to pick on you too much, Corey.
No.
But I do think it's worth noting that you seem to be comparing yourself to Perry a lot.
Yeah.
You have mentioned him a few times.
And maybe instead of getting caught up in the drama.
Yeah.
And firing off questions like a digital.
Gatling gun, like a machine gun, you.
Could try to emulate perfect Perry's like, calm and collected approach.
Just a thought.
Yeah.
Might actually learn something.
You never know.
Now another thing that's really interesting to me, Corey, is that you seem to be overlooking the potential benefits of these like, specialized communities.
Right.
Instead of feeling like a small fish in a big pond, which I know.
Is something you've talked about, feeling like you get lost in the shuffle.
You can actually find yourself surrounded by like minded individuals who, who are at the same stage in their journey and you can really connect on a deeper level.
Right.
Think about it, Corey.
Maybe this shift will actually be less overwhelming for you.
Yeah.
Less to keep up with.
Exactly.
And more beneficial in the long run.
Yeah.
And honestly, Corey, I think you're looking for reasons to be upset.
It seems that way.
Rather than embracing the possibility that this restructuring could be a really positive step.
Yeah.
You're looking for the negative before you Even give it a chance.
And you even commented on Perry's professional summarizing skills.
Yeah.
Almost with, like a hint of envy.
It did sound a little envious.
Maybe instead of getting caught up in the drama.
Yeah.
And firing off all those questions.
Yeah.
You could try emulating his thoughtful approach.
Maybe try a different tactic.
Yeah.
Just a suggestion.
Remember, it's not a competition.
No, it's not.
And Perry's just demonstrating how to navigate these changes with grace.
Grace and purpose.
Yes, exactly.
He knows what he wants.
Yeah.
And he's going after it.
And maybe instead of worrying about being a day seven 30th to Jenny's Empire, day seven 30, you could focus on developing your own unique path to success.
There you go.
And I think it's great that you want to be part of a mastermind type group, but I think you also have to realize that true collaboration requires a certain level of respect and restraint.
Absolutely.
And constantly challenging the leader and dominated the conversation.
Yeah.
With your opinions, no matter how valid you think they are, can be a real turn off for others.
Yeah, it can.
Including Jenny.
Including Jenny.
Just something to think about.
Food for thought.
Now, what's really fascinating to me is that Jenny herself has expressed frustration with the assumption that the community is going away.
Right.
She's not shutting everything down.
She's just trying to evolve and refine things to serve everyone better.
Yeah.
And she even used the phrase running for cover.
She did.
Which suggests to me that your negativity and anxiety, Corey, might be contributing to that perception.
That's Cory.
Yeah.
That's got to sting a little.
It's like you're accidentally fueling the fire.
Yeah.
With your barrage of concerns and criticisms.
You'Re adding fuel to the fire.
Yeah.
When you should be trying to help put it out.
Remember, change can be scary.
Yeah.
But sometimes you got to take a leap of faith and trust that the person at the helm has your best interests at heart.
Especially someone like Jenny, who's got such a proven track record.
Right.
You need to chill out, Corey.
You really do take a step back from the soapbox and consider what you want to gain from being part of this community.
Yeah.
Remember, her passion for helping people grow their businesses is genuine.
Yeah.
And this might be her way of doing that even more effectively.
And it's not like she's completely abandoning the hacks and the deals.
Right.
Hack Pack TV is still a thing.
Yeah.
So you'll still have access to all that stuff if that's what you want to focus on.
Okay.
So we've covered A lot of ground here.
We have.
We've explored Jenny's new structure.
We've delved into Corey's concerns.
We did.
And we've highlighted some of the potential benefits of specialized communities.
Yeah.
But let's be honest, Corey.
Your relentless questioning and sometimes over the top comments have been a bit much.
Maybe dial it back a notch or two.
Yeah.
Just a suggestion.
It's like you're almost trying to sabotage the whole thing.
Yeah.
It's not a good look.
And we've also emphasized the importance of clear communication.
Yes.
Both from the leader and the community members.
Two way street.
Yes.
Especially during times of change.
Absolutely.
Now let's talk about what Corey can do to navigate this transition smoothly.
Okay.
And find his place in Jenny's evolving ecosystem.
Yeah.
If he's still welcome.
If there's still a place for him.
Exactly.
So, Corey, it's great that you're so passionate about learning and connecting with others, but I think you need to dial it back a little bit.
You know, it's like you're trying to be the star student and the teacher's pet at the same time.
Sometimes you just got to sit back, listen and absorb the information before you jump in with all your own opinions and ideas.
Even the most brilliant minds benefit from a little humility and a willingness to learn from others.
True.
You know what's really crucial here, Corey, is self awareness.
Your constant questioning and challenging, while maybe intended as like iron sharpens iron.
Yeah.
Could be interpreted by others as disrespectful or disruptive.
Yeah.
I mean, especially Jenny.
Yeah.
I mean, she's the one who built this whole community.
Exactly.
And she's trying to make it better.
For everyone instead of second guessing her every move.
Right.
Maybe try to see things from her perspective.
Yeah.
Your soapbox moments might make you feel like you're contributing, but honestly, they're probably pushing people away, including Jenny.
I think what you're really looking for, Corey, is a more intimate setting where you can connect with people who are at a similar stage in their business.
And that's great.
But you've gotta be mindful of how your communication style might be perceived.
Yeah.
Especially by Jenny.
Yeah.
You know, she's the leader here.
Exactly.
And to be fair to Jenny, she seems to be genuinely trying to address your concerns.
Yeah.
She has.
She's explained that the community isn't going away.
She's just creating more focused channels for different needs and interests.
Different strokes for different folks.
Yes.
And she's even offered a universal price for all access.
Yeah.
To all her platforms and trainings, which I think is pretty generous.
That is very generous.
But honestly, Corey.
Yeah.
Only she knows how long she's willing to put up with your antics.
That's true.
It's like she's throwing you a life preserver and you're busy poking holes in it.
Yeah.
With all your questions, with your relentless questioning and nitpicking.
Yeah.
Maybe it's time to put down the magnifying glass and look at the bigger picture.
I agree.
So, Corey, here's the bottom line.
Okay.
Take a deep breath.
Yeah.
Chill out.
Relax a little.
And try to see these changes from Jenny's perspective.
Yeah.
Acknowledge that her goal is to help everyone grow their business, which it is.
And this new structure might be the best way for her to do that.
It very well could be.
Focus on what you want to achieve.
Yeah.
And find the community that best aligns with your current needs and aspirations.
There you go.
And remember, Corey, change can be a good thing.
It can be.
It can push you out of your comfort zone.
Absolutely.
It can challenge your assumptions and it can open you up to new possibilities.
So embrace the unknown.
Yes.
Explore the different avenues that Jenny has created.
Yeah.
And see where this exciting journey takes you.
But seriously, tone down the drama.
Yeah.
Nobody likes a Debbie Downer.
Especially in a community that's supposed to be about support and growth.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Now, Corey, we've got links to all of Jenny's channels and offerings in the show notes.
Yes, we do.
So you can explore them at your own pace and decide where you fit in best.
Yeah.
Check em out.
We're rooting for you.
We are.
But seriously, get a grip.
And remember, this whole situation is a valuable lesson in the importance of clear communication.
Yeah.
Self awareness.
Yes.
And adaptability.
You've got to be able to roll with the punches.
Exactly.
As you navigate the ever changing landscape of online communities.
Keep those principles in mind and you'll be well on your way to success.
Assuming you don't alienate everybody, if you haven't already.
All right, that's a wrap on our deep dive into Jenny Jones's evolving ecosystem.
There it is.
We hope this has given you, Corey, some much needed clarity and a fresh perspective on these changes.
Try to look at the positive.
Yes.
Until next time, keep learning, keep growing, and keep diving deep.
And for goodness sake, try to be a little less annoying.
Yeah.
We'll see you next time.
