🌼 Speed up success: invest in your real-life network

Hey, Mama!

If you're here, you probably already understand the power of connections and community. You know that being and feeling connected is its own form of wealth.

When I started my first course creation business, I did it mostly alone. I grew it to about $30K in a year. My husband was really proud of me, but he didn’t have the same goals, and I couldn’t talk details with him. His own plate was full with his career. Many of my close friends and family cheered me on, but weren’t building anything themselves. Feeling alone in some of the business challenges I faced (in combination with other factors), I eventually burned out.

This isn’t about extroversion. I’m an introvert. I get my energy from being alone. Nonetheless, I needed a network of friends that I could strategize and celebrate with, without the high price tags of coaching groups and masterminds.

Here’s why you should invest in growing your IRL network:

1. The energy of shared ambitions and goals

I want to see my growth explode. I want to see your growth explode. We are going the same way: with the same focus, building the same momentum. The energy builds. And when you feel tired or discouraged, there are others around who can remind you of your strength and vision.

Having access to a network of likeminded women, in the same phase of life, in the same locale, can help you expedite your goals much more quickly than if you did it alone. And frankly, it’s just more fun.

2. Increased serendipity

Luck is sometimes just a lucky break, but more often than not what we call luck is something we create by opening ourselves to new experiences and new people. Connecting with other women in your neighborhood can lead to new business partnerships, career opportunities, and collaborations that might not have otherwise materialized.

That's exactly what we’re about—helping mamas like you find new friends, create fresh opportunities, and build valuable connections.

3. Resilient social fabric

In 2011, when fire decimated the glorious pines of Bastrop, the people we needed the most and who could help us the most, were our neighbors.

When the economy downturns because central bankers once again make a decision that enriches themselves while debasing our hard-earned dollar, we turn to the people we know. We barter, we care, we donate, we nurture those right around us.

No one is coming to save us. We are all we have.

Let’s not wait for a local disaster before we get to know each other. Let’s discover each others strengths now, before we are in crisis.

Let’s engage in genuine conversations with other moms who, like you, are nurturing, creating, and thinking about the future they're leaving for their children.

By aligning with others who share your ambitions, engaging with your local community, and nurturing authentic relationships, you open doors to a world of opportunities that increase your wealth—whether that's financial, personal, or simply the richness of your experiences.

So, Mama, keep building those connections, nurturing your network, and watching your net worth and your impact grow.

Warm regards,

Elise
