Hey there ,

At the start of 2021 I thought 'I would LOVE to do a weekly workshop for my email list - it will be so much fun.'

So for the first three weeks of the year I did just that.

And it WAS fun - as well as A LOT to do every week.

As the boss of my business, I had to evaluate - was doing a workshop every week possible? Was it fun? Was it what I wanted for me, for my business, for you?

After evaluating the answer was clear - no.

It was fun, but unbalanced. It wasn't good for me, and it wasn't really possible to keep up the pace.

I decided pretty quickly to move to every other week.

And that was fun too. It's been fun for the last 4 months.

As the boss of my business, though, I still have to evaluate - was doing a workshop every other week possible? Was it fun? Was it what I wanted to me, my business, for you?

In evaluating, I found some interesting things.

First, I love creating workshops (this is not new, #hugedork), figuring out what to share, creating materials, and then chatting with the people who join as we learn.

Second, I know that the workshops have been useful to others - to people getting these emails just like you. They have replied and told me about what they've tried, they've followed my YouTube channel (ps, I still find it insane to write 'my YouTube channel'), joined my FB group, and shared the videos with others.

But.

Another thing that my evaluation made clear was that the workshops are not a format or time that works great for a lot of my list - for a lot of you. Between time zones and busy schedules it's been a struggle.

And since it's a struggle, it's not actually serving you like it could or should.

I also saw that holding to the schedule as been equally hard for me. I CAN do it, but it's not been in a way that has felt really fun, and I deeply believe that business can and should be fun.

So it's time to make another decision - because I'm the boss.

And here it is: there will still be workshops just for you, but the format and time will change.

They're going to be monthly, the day of the week and the time will be variable (but you'll get plenty of notice), and I'm going to let you all drive the topics.

I've gotten some feedback about topics that would be helpful already and I have a few in mind that I also think would be useful too...but I'd love to know your thoughts.

What would help YOU most right now?

If there was ONE workshop you'd make time for in May, what would it be about? What problem would it help you solve in your business?

Please hit reply and tell me your thoughts.

(and as extra motivation, everyone who pitches an idea by 4/25/2021 will be entered into a random drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card...more because the boss thinks giveaways are fun than anything :))

As the boss of my business, I get to decide when things change.

And I'm telling you all of this because I want you to remember you have the power to do the same.

Maybe you committed to something. Maybe you told everyone you were going to do x, y, or z.

And maybe it works for you...

But when it doesn't? When it's not fun, doesn't feel right, isn't giving your people what they need?

You are still the boss, and you can change.

You get to decide.

Happy Tuesday :),

PS. The Teachers in Business Mastermind 2.0 is starting up in two weeks.

It's for the teachers of the business world who...

- want to fail more (and succeed more) but need support (it's scary!),

- want to meet more people and create more business, but aren't sure how,

- want to be MORE consistent and create a more consistent business, but aren't clear on what that actually looks like for them...

- want to STOP waiting for business to come to them and start CREATING sales.

If this is YOU, let's talk. I can help you to decide, as the boss of your business, if joining is the right thing for you.

Book a time to talk about it here.
