2,000 paid members in the community!

So excited about this milestone — we doubled the number of Ness Labs community numbers in the last four months!

For context, the community had 300 members when we did our interview with @channingallen last summer.

Some of the most exciting recent developments:

• Members are now organising their own events as a way to practice or simply to share their knowledge. The fact that members are taking charge of their own learning journey and connecting with peers to learn together is genuinely one of the best things that came out of the community.
• I hired a wonderful community architect who is helping me manage and design the community.
• I have reached $8,000 in MRR which I still can't wrap my head around. I know it's not as much as some indie hackers but it means I can start delegating some of the work to talented people and focus on strategy and high-value engagement rather than day-to-day work.
• I have launched my first community-based online course, all hosted within the community, which went very well and brought lots of new people to the community.
• Most importantly, I'm having lots of fun. :)

There's still lots of potential and I'm feeling pumped!
