I'd love to personally check-in with you re: your business strategy, and it can be done with no additional cost by doing this on our group calls. 

The calls are usually quite small -- averaging only 6 participants each call for the past 3 months. 

So think of it as an opportunity to share honestly about your business status at this point, and then we'll dive into crafting a strategy that is uniquely yours, playing to your strengths and passions while acknowledging your growth edges. 

You'll be sharing this with me as well as a small group of caring and wise peers.  I'll then offer you the best guidance and encouragement that I can. Each slot is about 20-30 minutes.

Sign up here.

(Try to save the occasional afternoon/evening slots for Australia/Asia folks -- thank you!)

Even if you cannot get a spot, you are very welcome to show up on any of our Q&A calls and request this kind of strategy coaching, because we usually have time these days :)

Dear ABC Members,

In our calls going forward (Mondays/Thursdays) I'm going to offer short segments of what I'm learning from consuming the best business content, aka my mentors!

I'm tempted to not record these, because I really want you to attend of our calls ;-)

We'll see. I may end up recording a few of them.  Eventually though, I'll integrate the knowledge into future courses.

On our calls, I also want to start being clearer about the most useful actions each attendee can take.  I won't force you to say anything, but will offer the opportunity for you to clarify and uplevel your strategy each time you attend.

Here is the schedule of our calls

Hope to see you on many of these in our remaining months together :)

Hi Folks, I'm really baffled by this... several people are saying that when you come to my Q&A calls, you don't get your questions answered. WTF?

I swear that I do my best (I thought) to make sure I answer all your questions... but I think what happens is that I ask for your questions... and then I wait for 10 seconds... and I see no questions... so then I start my segment. 

Maybe I need to wait 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes?

Truly, from the heart, I'm sad and embarrassed that you've had that experience... because honestly, I would love nothing more than to just take your questions for the whole call. 

But the reason I launch into a segment is that I want to avoid the silence of having nothing there -- which I (probably erroneously) think that means there's no value on the call -- but maybe we just need to show up, look at each other in silence for minutes, until there's a question? 😅 

I'm brewing up some exciting updates for the 2025 program... will start some discussions in the coming weeks to get your feedback, and announce it officially in October.

The price will be increasing in 2025, hopefully not by so much that it's prohibitive:

ABC will be $150/mo or $1,500/year.  Maximum of 60 members (this year we had 75.)

There will continue to be helper roles for those who need a stipend to support the cost!

Also, what's included in the price is the Joyful Productivity Club 🙌🏾 

Masterheart will be $300/mo or $3,000/year. Maximum 6 members (this year we had 15!)

• Question for those interested in Masterheart -- 2025 members will get occasional 1-1 or small group time with me as part of the deal... Would you prefer (a) one-hour 1-1 with me every 2 months, or (b) every month but the meeting included 1 other Masterheart member?

We'll probably have a bit fewer group calls (rather than an overwhelming number of them!) so that each call is more special, better prepared and well-facilitated, and themed based on what you all need most.

If there are other changes you'd love to see to the program, or things you definitely want to see continued, comment below 😊
