If you’re struggling in any area of your life, going it alone might be the hardest way to get to the other side. The reality is, the key to unlocking greater change doesn’t lie in solitude, but in the power of a community.

Before I took the leap into starting my online business, I only ever did things one-on-one. But it wasn’t until I (begrudgingly) listened to advice about delivering a group course online that I discovered just what can be gained from community. Healing, motivation, momentum - it can all flourish when we surround ourselves with those walking our same path.

The Lonely Truth About Going Solo

Did you know one in four Australians report feeling lonely? And it's not just about missing a romantic partner or lacking friendships. There's something called 'community loneliness' – that yearning for like-minded people who truly get what you're trying to achieve. When we try to make changes in our lives, whether it's improving our health, growing our business or transforming our mindsets, doing it alone isn't just harder – it's actually working against our natural wiring for connection.

Why Community Accelerates Change

Think about it this way: when you're trying something new or challenging, every obstacle can feel like a personal failure. But in a community:

• Your challenges become normalised
• Solutions appear through others' experiences
• Motivation stays high through shared momentum
• Progress accelerates through collective wisdom

If you're feeling stuck in any area of your life, stop looking for the perfect solution or trying to muscle through alone. Instead, ask yourself: "Where are my people? Where's the community that's already working towards what I want to achieve?"

Because here's what I know for sure: the path to any transformation is paved with shared experiences, collective wisdom and doing life with those who understand you. And sometimes, the very thing holding us back isn't our strategy or our willpower – it's simply trying to do it all alone.
