Good Monday Morning Syndicate Fam! I hope you all had a most excellent weekend. If you didn't read this week's newsletter, it is FULL of good information and I Hope you will check it out (you can find it on the newsletter category above). Let's welcome our newest member, @John Morley who is from North New Jersey, and is an Author, Engineer, Video Producer, and President of Garden State Gay Socials. Welcome John, looking forward to connecting. Today's Motivation Monday is to get you motivated to take part in our "5 Day Pride Month Business Ready Sprint." Over the next 5 days, on the Classroom Tab above, I will be adding lessons on how to get your business/coaching ready for Pride Month. Hard to believe but we are only a little over 4 weeks away, but there is still time for you to create a game plan for your business to participate authentically and with some flair. Each day I will add a new course, that has ideas, worksheets, attachments and encouragement to be ready to engage with your customers and clients in June. I will also be LIVE TODAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY, from 1-2pm Eastern time for questions or just to chat. Feel free to pop in and say HI if you can.

Hey Syndicate Fam, Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. I did a little sneak away for date night/day to Niagara Falls, Canada yesterday and the weather was horrible but the adventure was a lot of fun. Welcome to our new members: @Christina Joy is in Florida and is working with business owners who feel stuck or overwhelmed to get unstuck. @Benjamin Zumsteg is a luxury brand strategist by day and an entrepreneur who created his own energy/performance drink company by night. You can check out his interview in our latest newsletter. Welcome both of you and if you have a second, introduce yourselves and tell us a little more about you. For Monday Motivation this week, I am bringing in a twist on what @Art Smith shared with us a couple weeks back. This time, instead of "Googling" yourself, if you are using a 'Chat Bot' of any kind, ask it the following Prompt: "Based on everything we've talked about, what am I genuinely good at? What makes me unique? Be honest, not polite." I think this is a great tool to see how your messaging is working and coming across to others. If you're open to it, share your answers in the comments below. Have a great week everyone!!

Good Morning Syndicate Fam, Happy Friday, we made it through the week. Let's start by welcoming our newest member @Robert Bu in the Connecticut/NYC area. Robert brings 40+ years in the Corporate sector, always out and proud. He will bring leadership skills, mentoring, and many other more tangible assets. He is hoping to grow his network out of the confines of Linked In. Give him a warm welcome. On Fridays let's share our wins for the week, either professionally or personally or both. We need to celebrate each other and wins big or small that move us forward in our businesses and lives. Also on Friday's I want to have a little fun in the group, so here's today's fun challenge: Let's Play Rainbow Shark Tank (The Goofy Edition) Members, please pitch a ridiculous or half-baked business idea in 60 seconds. Examples: - “Subscription box for people who start hobbies but never finish them” - “Gay campground but it’s only introverts” - “AI that texts your clients back while you emotionally recover” After we get all the entries, I will put them together in this Sunday's Newsletter for members to vote on Group votes: - Most Profitable - Most Unhinged - Would Absolutely Buy Winners will get some silly prizes from me. Hope you all will try to play.
