During our co-working session we had an unexpected collective brainstorming session about the do's and don't when running your own business. 

It provided a very fun and creative break that allowed us to blow off some steam before getting serious again.

The best part? They are now up on the wall as a reminder and I'm sure they will keep growing along with us! 

If you're in Nyon pass by, grab a pen and add your own!


The DO's to save time and manage overwhelm
Take the strategic approach (don't do everything - do THE thing)
Prioritise your peace of mind to be sustainably efficient
Keep things rolling in the background (make it autopilot - Thank you  Pauliina Rasi  )
Respect your time
Work from the minimum viable product upwards 

The DON'Ts
Engage with the bully client (the one that negotiates your prices down and then keeps adding on things)
Justify
"Apologetic pricing"
Negative self talk (Be honest, would you talk to others the way you talk to yourself?)
...

Join us every 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Dive Bar in Gland.

On the 11th of June we had our summer party at the new Clubhouse. Hit the play button for a welcome message...!

It was an opportunity for us all to get together, MasterMinds members and friends and not so much network as get to know each other a little better ... from a different angle lets say!

Get a new nickname.
Of course there will always be a game of some sort... :-) I just can't resit. 
This time around it was all about learning what your conversation partner is passionate about. As participants listened to their partners give some insight as to what they love to do, they were given the task to come up with a nickname for them based on what they perceived. One the receiver liked may I add!
This nickname went onto the name tags and so it fuelled some interesting conversations post-ice breaker too. 

Who knew we had such a musical community?
We could have made a band with "Sax", "Starmania", "Maestro", "Rhythm" and "Treble Clef" 
As I look at the picture I see...

Summer is a great time for some reflection. Why not watch the "Get Unstuck" webinar and let your mind wander over what you want next for yourself?

In this webinar I cover 3 main topics:

What are you good at?
Not just good; but better than most people. These are probably elements you may not even consider as you think they are so easy for you, everyone else must find them easy too. They don't. Go on a treasure hunt of your own biggest strengths. How do you identify them and what can you do with them?

What are your dreams?
Silly as it can feel, it's so common that we don't really know what we WANT. Don't worry though, this is perfectly normal. In the dreams section I give a few hints on how you can go about identifying which direction you WANT to go in, rather than thinking through all the things you COULD do. They are two very different things!

What is your reality?
Yup. The scrooge of the three! Yet you need to be taking into consideration your reality if you are going to make...

The B-inspired community has grown well so far. Like any entrepreneurial venture, from time to time you reach a point whereby you need to rethink and update the structure and processes that are in place to make sure they are still effective.

Upcoming changes to the MasterMinds membership structure

As of June 17^th, the structure of the Mastermind membership will evolve. There will be 3 separate options depending on what your current priorities are.  

If you are already a member, you will see a few changes happening between now and over the next few weeks

• Members directory in progress so you can find and work with each other in an easier way. There is a questionnaire for you to fill out here that will allow me to compile the information.
• Alignment 60min session for you to set your priorities and milestones for the upcoming months
• Clubhouse can be rented for your own workshops or any other use you may have for it. You can see all the rental options with this link

  Yes, I'm generally a positive person.
 
Yes, I love what I do to the point that every now and then I have to pinch myself to see if I'm not dreaming.
 
And yes, there are days when I struggle to get anything done at all.
 

‍ On those days, I feel like I'm moving under water and I never know quite how to handle the feeling.
  How do I snap out of it, and get on with what needs to be done?
 
But then I remind myself, Im only human and I'm not a robot.
 
Just because I'm happy with everything I have, it does not mean I can't ALSO be tired. 
It's not either/or.
 
For me, the best thing to do in those moments is simply retreat into my shell for a while and stop forcing myself to be "productive".

Because it ends up being counter productive. I just sit and stare at my screen feeling too guilty to stop because I haven't produced anything useful and too tired to think.

I've found that spending some time alone and doing absolutely nothing...
