Back in Jan, I shared with our ecosystem members our plans for 10 big things coming to Forge this year. One of those things, crucial to executing goals, was the intro of Accountability Circles—small groups of several creatives dedicated to a singular goal. In Feb, one of our members, Natasha Yonkof, mentioned to me she wanted to start and facilitate her own 1-month accountability cohort. I’m like “LFG! Plus, this was part of the 10 big things I shared last month,” which I don’t think Natasha realized at the time, but was beside the point anyway, lol. A few weeks later, we officially kicked off Accountability Circles with the rest of Forge and launched Natasha’s as our inaugural circle. Four members joined us. In March, she led our first meetup around revenue-generating activities, followed by 3 weekly calls. In April, we wrapped and digested our results respective to our goals. Earlier this month, Natasha extended this accountability circle by 3 months after the survey results told her we wanted more. And although we didn’t all hit our revenue goals during Round 1, we are more clear and determined now than we were before because accountability is contagious. Furthermore, I’m immensely grateful to the sage and incomparable Natasha for spearheading her well-oiled ship and taking full ownership of this initiative as a coequal creative expert.🫶🏾 Here’s a snap of our AC containing Robin Finney, Emily Bissen, Tyler N., and Abigail Houghton… ⚡️ If you want some follow-through energy to achieve your missions in a flat ecosystem… ⚡️ If you want to be around other creative entrepreneurs who will instantly get you and root for you… ⚡️ If you want to join or lead your own accountability circle within a distraction-free, curated space… You better join us today because we are doing the damn thing, being fulfilled, and making an impact (and money).

Success as a creative entrepreneur isn’t just about what you do... It’s largely about what you do *not*. The things you say 'no' to... The noise you reduce... The opps you decline... Maybe it’s time to hit that ‘x’ button on what’s not in alignment with the season you’re currently in. You just might free up your bandwidth by like 60%, as you open up space for all that's serving you. I mean, if not now, when? Good Friday! 🪺 #optimize #time #entrepreneurship

Did you know that 16% of small business owners suffer from technological distractions? Billions are being spent annually on buying up more of your attention to keep you on your favorite social platform for fractions of seconds longer, which is then relayed to impressionable advertisers with deep pockets. And you wonder why it’s harder than ever to focus on making the impact you know you can make as a creative entrepreneur. 🤷🏾♂️ Look, I know what it’s like to spin your wheels getting nowhere fast… ...or checking your phone every time you get a notification that somebody left a comment on your latest post… ...or going down the rabbit hole of YouTube, watching essays on Christopher Nolan movies… ...or is that just me? 😄 So let’s do something about it on Wednesday, March 20th, at 11a PST // 2p EST. In this 1-hr live training, I’ll show you… ⏰ Why you’re not making the impact you crave ⏰ Ways to invest your time instead of spending it unwisely ⏰ How to not multitask so you get the right things done with less effort Plus, I’m hosting a bonus masterclass on Thursday, March 21st at 2p EST, that builds upon the themes in the workshop and will share a spicy opp you won’t want to miss. That’s two trainings for less than the price of one. If you're on my email list, you can save $20 as an early bird. Save your spot at the link in the comments, and I’ll see you next week.

What's your professional love language? 🤓 Before you answer that, let me give you some context… Earlier this month, I created and posed this question privately to a handful of our Forge (community) members to learn how they preferred to be supported. Then one of my friends/peers suggested that I ask the participants of her last networking session this question, which I did. I’ve since brought it up as an example I’m using to prompt people to think with their hearts and every time, it gets people to light up a little. So now, I bring it to YOU. But here’s the wrinkle… 🫰🏾😅 You can't say that *referrals* are your professional love language. That’s the lowest-hanging fruit, and it’s too easy. 😁 Instead, how ELSE do you prefer to be supported by your peers, clients, and community members? ✅ Endorsements? 🤌🏾 Intentionality? 🗣️ Recommendations? 🤝 Collaborations? 👏🏾 Praise? 🏁 Milestone celebrations? 💬 Reviews? 🛠️ Resource-sharing? 🎙️ Networking opportunities? 🔊 Promotion? 👉 Introductions? 🎓 Training? 🎁 Gifts? 🧐 Something else? By knowing this, perhaps, folks can also support you in the way you prefer, to let you know we love and appreciate your work.
