Of all the rewards I enjoy in running my own business, one is a stand-out favorite. As much as I adore the creative process, the traveling to new places, the income, and the adventure, nothing is more satisfying than the people I meet. When those people are gathered in a roomful of strangers exploring the same ideas, I always feel at home.
Whenever I teach a Joyfully Jobless Weekend, there are a few participants who know each other. By the end of the weekend, everyone knows a few more people. Some make connections that will last much longer than the hours of the seminar.
The ones who take away the biggest prizes are those who subscribe to a notion I keep seeing on Facebook. Quite simply, that notion says that everyone you meet knows something that you don’t. It seems to me that anyone who goes out into the world keeping that in mind, is going to continually enrich their own lives by building empowering connections.
Since being self-employed still means being in the minority, having a small tribe of others who are also building their own unique enterprise is essential. Finding those tribe members can be a challenge, but two upcoming events, could change all that.
If you’d like to join me in either of these locations, but don’t live near Phoenix or Denver, make it a weekend adventure. I can help you find a handy place to stay.
