Hey there !

Happy Wednesday!

I'm going to start this email by asking you a ridiculous leading question:

If there was ONE thing you could do better, and it was guaranteed to grow your business (and create more impact AND income), would you do it?

And the answer?

OF COURSE.

You'd be crazy not to, right?

(I told you it's a leading question!)

Well, that one thing exists.

It's the first of the 3 key actions to take in growing ANY business.

It's CONNECTION.

And happily, it's one of THE fundamental skills in any teacher's bag of tricks.

Teachers are EXPERT connectors.

Connection impacts learning.

And focusing on it in business?

Makes JUST as big an impact on business growth as you KNOW it does in a classroom.

The formula looks like this:

MORE connection = MORE growth = MORE income

Really, it's not complicated.

Heck, most of the time it's not even hard (we just think it's going to be...)

If you want to grow your business through connection - and not by randomly spamming people on FB, or sending people sales diatribes on LI, that's NOT what this is about, nope - then you should participate in the challenge I'm running in my FB group next week, The Connection Challenge.

It's free.

It's not going to take a ton of time (maybe even less than 5 minutes a day!)

And it's going to make a HUGE difference in your business ASAP.

You'll spend a few minutes each day.

And in return?

You'll:

• know MORE people
• have more people who know you, what you do, and why you're amazing
• meet more potential clients/customers, and more people who will connect you with your next clients/customers
• clarify your message (the more you practice saying who you are, what you do, and why it matters the better!
• gain confidence in asking to talk and actually talking to strangers (not to mention inviting them to work with you!)
• get inspired by the amazing things other people do
• inspire other people with the amazing things YOU do
• build confidence in yourself, your business, and what possible
• save TIME (yep, really) because building business through connection is FASTER than any other way.

I mean...that's a LOT to get for spending 5 minutes a day on connection.

So, are you in?

It starts next Monday, 7/26 in my free FB group, Teachers in Business.

If you aren't in the group, come join in!

And if you are, get ready to rock :)

The task for the day will post every day at 8 am, Monday - Thursday.

Live Q&A/check ins will be Monday/Wednesday at noon EST, and Tuesday/Thursday at 3 pm EST.

You'll GET a ton of good, and only have to do a little (and nope, it's not to good to be true!)

AND - there are prizes (yep, prizes other than all the bullets listed above...I LOVE giveaways!!)

Ready to connect AND grow?

(of course you are!!)

Come join the PARTY.

Join the group if you haven't, and then hit reply to tell me you are IN, and ask all the questions you have ahead of the challenge!

Can't WAIT for MONDAY!

See you there :)

Warmly,

Sara

PS. I had a VERY special guest join me on the Teachers in Business podcast this week. Deb Stanley is a former special education teacher, now successful author, business owner - and you need to hear her story of moving from the teaching world to the business world. Listen here!
