We made a a big decision this week, finding balance as a high achiever, + more
ICYMI, we made a big decision this week at BCM Club (our new name is DiscoLink Club 👀).
ICYMI, we made a big decision this week at BCM Club (our new name is DiscoLink Club 👀).
Our members got the full story in their inboxes, and Saron also shared a part of it on Twitter/X.
Here it is:
Our original name, Big Cash Money Club, started as a funny, tongue-in-cheek name that people who knew us totally understood.
But we quickly discovered that people who didn’t know us thought it was a scam, that it was connected to the crypto tech bro world, that it wasn’t legit.
We knew that eventually, we would have to rebrand to truly grow - since we’re not tech bros and this isn’t a crypto scam.
We also started to wrestle with the question about what BCM’s role in our company (DiscoLink) is, and how to allocate energy between the two.
Meanwhile, as a paid membership platform, BCM Club had grown from a community to a full-blown product that generated real revenue. We were excited about having our first paid product, but as a paid product, it ended up taking a lot more of our time than we expected.
Like all of you, we’re experimenting and seeing what resonates, what makes sense to invest in, and what we should let go of. Our attention was split and our resources were spread thin. We needed to focus.
As of yesterday(!) we changed the name of our community for people with side hustles in tech to DiscoLink Club. The piggy bank you all know and love will stick around, but our name will no longer be BCM Club.
DiscoLink Club will now be free, but we will still vet and approve new members to make sure everyone is a good fit.
We will still manage our thriving private Discord community and do our weekly events, our Masterclasses, and our AMAs.
But by making it free, it relieves the pressure of having to market and recruit new members each month. It can just be a place where people who are serious about their tech side hustles can get content, coaching, and community to make real money from all the things they do.
We’re so thankful for the community that sees us doing our best, trying and failing at times, but getting back up and brushing off our knees and keeping on going. We promise we’ll always have your best interest in mind.
We love you so, and we’re so excited for the future of DiscoLink Club ❤️
PS: While the name of the community is changing to DiscoLink Club, this newsletter will continue to be called Big Cash Money for the time being.
