Every month, we will celebrate a top contributor in our community who has gone above and beyond to make
@TheCMSquad

Who will be our first Squad Star? 🤭
To have the results the top 5% of community managers have, you must start doing what 95% of community managers are unwilling to do.
Whether it's personalized member engagement, or constantly seeking out new ways to add value, it's these extra efforts that set the best apart.
It's easy to keep going when everything is smooth, but true growth happens when you push through the hard times.
The next time you feel like giving up, take a deep breath and press ahead. Your perseverance is what makes you a true leader, and your community is counting on you 💜

Last week Friday, we had
@Defibaker

@fibibakes
as our game winner 🎉
We reviewed module 1 and 2 of the community management course on Feverbee.
As a wise person once said, 'Success comes from showing up, even when it's uncomfortable.'
Sometimes, we expect ourselves to show up at 100% daily, but the reality is different. What truly matters is consistency, even if some days you're only able to give 30%. It all adds up.
Going down tonight by 8pm on discord, as we dive into some valuable learning while connecting with fellow members over games and a shared resource on community management 🥳
Plus we are excited to welcome and onboard our new Squadrons!!!! 💜
To stand out in your community , you must replace excuses with relentless action, innovative thinking, and a commitment to excellence.
Only then can you truly lead and inspire your community.
Have a great week, Squadrons!
Our first Squad Star is none other than
