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...

We start our business with a dream in mind and a lifestyle we imagine. Align your business, your mindset and your profits so you can live your purpose.

Join us on the 24th of June between 09:30 and 12:00 for the last workshop before we break for the summer in this workshop is facilitated by Fran Strickland.

We learn how to make sure our mindset is in the right place. This in turn ALLOWS us to create the business we had in mind at the start.

1. How do you begin to get your mind and body to work together for financial prosperity?
2. How does your self-concept manifest in connection with financial success?
3. In what ways can the Law of Attraction be practically applied in a business context?
4. What transformative insights and real-life examples can guide us towards unlocking financial abundance?

In this 2.5-hour workshop, we will embark on a transformative journey, discovering themselves through the workshop's content and subtle ways to elevate the financial...

We’re approaching our MasterMinds community’s 1^st birthday in September.

Curious about the Masterminds idea or how the new structure will take effect as of mid-June? 

Questions have been coming in fast, so I decided it was time for another informal Q&A session.

Join the upcoming online Q&A session.

It's a chance for you to gather the information you have been wondering about and give us all the opportunity to meet, get to know each other a little, and get a feel for if this is something for you.

Thursday, 4th of June between 12:30 and 13:30. Grab a coffee, an iced tea, or a G&T, pull up a chair, and join in! You can register using this link.

Exciting News: Our New Office Space - "The Clubhouse" is OPEN!

There is some thrilling news to share – A brand spanking new office space for our community (That's you)!

Picture this: fresh paint on the walls, sleek desks awaiting bustling activity, and the aroma of fresh coffee wafting through the air. Yes, all you need to feel at home and inspired to get going!

There have been so many hands on board in all kinds of ways, I feel really grateful for and there are simply too many people to mention, I hope you know who you are. With their dedication and hard work, we’ve transformed a mere idea of a "space", into a buzzing hub of creativity and collaboration.

So, what can you expect to find? Think spacious room for brainstorming sessions, dream away in the window sil for quiet contemplation, and of course, a coffee machine & tea selection. Because let’s be real, productivity needs fuel!

It’s time to roll up our sleeves and make magic happen in...

I hear this over and over, and it makes me want to cry: "I'm an introvert, and I just don't have great social skills."

I feel like before I say anything, a disclaimer is relevant because I always get a few comments on the introvert/extravert label. I’m also not a fan of the introvert/extravert “boxes”; we all relate to different ones at different times, but for simplification’s sake, I’ve gone with it anyway as I hear people refer to themselves that way so often.

• In a world full of talkers, introverts are capable of listening.
• In a world full of showing off, introverts observe.
• In a world full of opportunists, introverts build lasting relations.
   

I could go on for a while, but you get the point. These are EXCELLENT social skills.

And here is the other thing:

I believe many of us have those characteristics, but they have been trained out of us by society.

• We believe we need to shout louder, or we won't be heard.
• We believe we need to show off what we do, or no one will respect us.
• We...

 Why are some interview questions harder than others?

Because they feel "loaded".
Loaded with what?

With lots of other little questions within it.

For example, the question might be:
"Why did you leave your last job?"

The little questions behind it are:

• "Did you fail at that job and now you need to look for a new one?"
• "Are you placing the blame on others or taking your part of responsibility?"
• "Are you really interested in this role or are you just wanting to get out of the current one?"

You get the point.

Here's how to handle it:
Take your "sticky" question and pull it apart like that.

Then answer the questions individually first before reconstructing the information in a natural, honest, and coherent way.

You’ll feel much more confident about what you are saying and your answer will be clear as day.

Have fun interviewing and get in touch with me if you could use a boost for the next ones or check out the website for the upcoming workshop on salaries.
