Finding a local organization
for women in your industry.
You need to go where the
people are.
If you are like me and
you can feel your anxiety
rising just at the thought of it
I encourage you to fight thru
it. Online groups can be great
but they are just that groups. I
want you to have face to face
interaction. You are choosing
people who will have a grand
impact on this next chapter
in your life. I want you to feel
energy, see if there is a vibe
and that can only happen in
person.
Once you hand pick
the members of your
community and if you do
it right...you will wonder
how did you get by without
them. Other friends in
your life will ask...Who is
this new person you KEEP
talking about. See we often
have friends for years and
sometimes they reflect
where we were years ago..
This is my story with my
crew of girlfriends who are
all single and not parents. 5
years we were all standing
on couches together taking
shots. Or hopping on a
plane to a music fest. That
isn’t my current place in life.
Right now I am more likely
to see Paw Patrol live than
Coachella.
But this NEW
community you are going to
build they will reflect where.
You are RIGHT now and the
goals of where you WANT
to be.
So you have your players
in place. You are motivated
by their life. You have so
much in common. How do
you keep this going. The
answer is to POUR into
your community. You send
along articles that you come
across that reminded you
of them. You recommend
the perfect podcast. You
buy 2 tickets for the next
event and invite them as
your guest. The funny
thing about pouring into
your community if that
it doesn’t drain you. That
might be the reason you
are hesitant. You think “I
don’t have time or energy to
be part of something else”.
But it is quite the opposite.
When you pour into your
community, it will pour into
you giving you a new spark
and energy.
Like every relationship
the honeymoon phase does
in. It gets stale. How do
you keep your community
fresh. The key is to always
shake it up. The motto
#NoNewFriends does not
work here. You constantly
want to keep you mind and
heart open to new people
that will fit, add and benefit
from your community.

whatever energy you are
putting out there: Love
begets love, stress begets
stress when you put out this
new energy of community
you will become a magnet.
The right people will be
drawn to you. In circles
people will say..”I know
the person you HAVE to
meet” There will never be a
drought of the right people
to add to your community.
Y’all those are my tips.
I do truly believe if you
create, pour into and keep
our community fresh it will
be a game changer.
I am telling you not
what i have read but what
I KNOW. I am at 38, a
mom, an entrepreneur and a
community builder. I hope I
have made Beyonce proud.
When
you pour
into your
community,
it will pour
into you
giving you a
new spark
and energy.
