Building Community and Collaborations
/Hey Love,
What's the benefit of clarity? Asking for and receiving what you want. It might sound totally obvious. Or maybe it sounds absolutely crazy, but you can quite literally, speak what you want into existence. Here are some of my very real life examples, so you can see that it’s a pretty magical process:
Although I have a wonderful, supportive family and friend group, it can be isolating working for yourself, by yourself. I knew early on that I needed some “work-wives” for motivation, accountability and to generally support each other in this crazy journey. So I started looking for like-hearted solopreneurs. When I met someone new, I openly shared my challenges and desires. I'd ask if they wanted to meet for a co-working session or to strategize and bounce ideas off each other. It took a little time, but I’m so grateful to have established deep, meaningful friendships with my "co-workers" and I love keeping these relationships growing strong through many seasons.
About a year ago, I began calling in more community and collaboration and since then, I have been actively experiencing a major shift in the people and partnerships coming my way. I now feel empowered to reach out (even to strangers!), share my offerings and contributions. And I’ve given and received wonderful referrals and opportunities within my growing network. You don’t immediately reap the harvest from all the seeds you’ve planted, but just keep the faith that with the right energy and intentions, things will happen!
