It would be great to get to know a little bit about you! Networking is a great part of being in a community and you never know if you may discover something or someone complementary to your own business. @Guus van Rees @Marina Pomar @Jakolien Sok @Mary Ott @Stephanie Sommerville

Hey! Welcome to the community. Thrilled to have you here. This place is going to be amazing. For now, leave a comment introducing yourself to the group. ☀️

Hi all - I hope you have a productive week ahead! I wanted to explain why I decided to create this community. Humans, are tribal by nature and we tend to gravitate to communities and places that we resonate with. Sam Ovens says, "Create the community you wish you had" - so that's exactly what I've done. I wanted to create a space that we can be vulnerable, open about our challenges and figure out how we move forward as we keep an eye on our goals. When I started learning about business (coming from a freelancer background in film and global events), I had no idea what to expect or what I was doing. There were times over the years I would be excited to start something and very quickly I would stop - and start something completely new (and repeat that process). I didn't have a mentor and was guessing everything and not understanding anything! It wasn't until I got more serious about it, and started to get coaching and obsessively learnt anything I could get my hands on, did I realise that the feelings of resistance and how tough it was, was actually normal! No one told me that - until I found the right people to listen to. Over the past years I've done so much training. Even still, we can be susceptible to unsuspecting people who don't have our best interests in mind. This evens happens to well-established business people who have been open about it. I'm glad for their honesty and transparency about their experiences. I can also see what I've really liked from certain training and what makes proper sense, and I wanted to put it all together here with my interpretation and now from my experience. We can all have the resources, checklists, step-by-step processes, but if we don't have our mindset in the right place, we can find ourselves swimming around endlessly in a loop without even realizing it. We sometimes losing months if not years at a time until we "wake up" out of our thinking and realise there is another way. This has happened to me many times! LOL. It's easy to do! And with social media and their strong algorithms, they often know us better than ourselves and literally steals our time from us until we become very aware.
