[And why we're so dedicated to helping our members tailor their time to the way they work best!] Something’s been on my mind, and I hope you'll take 3 minutes and read to the end. It’s time we talk about time, and how it actually works in Entrepreneurland. ⏱️ Time is an abstract concept, so let’s start with the basics. Despite what your kindergarten teacher told you, time is not the clock on the wall, or number on your watch, or the setting sun. ⏱️ Time is a currency, just like cash. Currencies need a container to hold them, and boundaries to guide them to where they can be most useful for our growth. If you don't have containers for your time, or a purpose to guide your productivity, you may feel some chaos and squirrels running around in your brain. ⏱️ Time can be used for our greatest joys, and wasted on something that doesn’t even matter to us. Time can be our prison, or it can be our platform. ⏱️ Time as a currency is not much different than money, and it holds far more power in our lives than we think! 88% of my own time with entrepreneur clients is spent talking about strategies to increase their time and energy so they can have more freedom in their businesses. ⏱️ Time is the one non-renewable resource. The one resource that is evenly distributed amongst all living creations on our planet. Dogs, horses, trees, flowers, and ants all have the same 24 hour day. Yet most people still don’t understand how to leverage it to get more of what they want in life, and less of what they don’t want. Sometimes I fear we’re too much like the ants. 🐜 ------///--------///----------------///--------///----------------///--------///----------------///--------///----------------///--------///--------///----- 🤍 Teaching you how to tailor your time for success is the reason our team shows up everyday of the work week in the Genius Business Studio. We hold Power Hours and WorkLabs so you don’t have to be like the ants. We creatively design the Pomodoro sprints, so you always leave work with a smile.

Y'all know how much I love books, right? This summer I am wrapping up one of the most impactful books I've ever read for personal growth called "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. Have you heard of it? It’s an amazing process, and self-paced way to discover and unblock your life and creativity! We adore our community, so we are inviting you to a FREE Creative Cluster (a guided 12-week journey inspired by Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way). Starting in September, we will go through each of the weeks through the lens of entrepreneurship, creativity, and the human being behind the business, but this powerful process can be applied to anyone! As I've read it and explored uncovering my own creativity, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to get so busy running our businesses that we lose touch with the part of ourselves that wanted to create something in the first place! We’ll kick things off with an upcoming series where I’ll share more about how it works, answer questions, and help you get oriented before Week 1 starts in September. If you’ve been feeling like you need a little more curiosity, creativity, or breathing room in your business, I think you’re going to like this. More details coming soon!

Most of us did not become entrepreneurs because we wanted to run a business. We became entrepreneurs because we had something in us that needed to be created, a problem in the world we wanted to solve, and building a business was our solution. But somewhere along the way, in the business of running a business, a lot of us lost touch with that creative part of us. The version of you that built this thing in the first place, the curious, playful, honest creative self, often goes quiet once the business starts running on deadlines, invoices, and other people's expectations. And when that creative self goes quiet, the business built on top of it can start to feel misaligned, even when it is technically working. 👉 Starting in September, we are opening a new twelve week journey inside Genius Business Studio called the Entrepreneur Sandbox. Its foundation is built on Julia Cameron's classic book The Artist's Way, and we will journey together as we reconnect with our creative selves underneath the business. 👉 Before Week One, we will be hosting some intro WorkLabs so you can meet everyone, ask questions, and get oriented before the twelve weeks begin. More details coming this week, or ask your questions below!

Hey Friends! There are some big changes happening at GBN! First, I want to thank everyone who has stuck around while we've been testing, experimenting, and figuring out exactly what we want this community to look like. You are amazing!🤟 Second, I want to reintroduce myself. My name is Katelin, and I'll be running GBN so Janna can go out and run the world (she's a genius). Don't worry, though... she's not leaving us. Janna will still be sharing her favorite books and business topics in The Sandbox on Tuesdays. I'll be running WorkLabs, helping members with basic Canva and branding tips, and hosting our staple coworking Power Hours (with the help of Amy, our amazing admin) I'm an entrepreneur myself, and I love the blend of business and creativity. I'm so excited to build this community with y'all. Please reach out anytime if you have questions! Third... okay, let's get this party started.🤩 Everyone on the FREE tier will have access to Janna's Genius MAGIC Marketing Formula course, along with occasional pop-up workshops. Starting July 1st, GBN will be $38/month. Membership includes: • Productivity Power Hours • Canva WorkLabs • Branding WorkLabs • Marketing WorkLabs • Workshops • The Sandbox • Special Events BUT... You all get free access until then! So show up. Try it out. See if our community helps create more structure, accountability, and routine in your business. Especially during the summer, having a dedicated "work meeting" on your calendar can be incredibly beneficial when you're working from home. And here's the best part: If you decide to join in July, you'll lock in this grandfathered rate as we continue to grow and add more services. Wahoo! Y'all are special to us.🤗 If you have any questions, feel free to reach out here or email us at [email protected]. We can't wait to build this with you! – Katelin Community Director

Okay everyone, you need to join this! I attended the Canva Worklab with Katelin today. SOOOO helpful! I was having trouble with making a cover page for my PDF checklists - she gave me some great ideas! I can't wait to figure out my new cover page. Then I had an image for FB post, but it was pretty boring. She gave me some tips to elevate it. And some general Canva tips that were gold! Amazing help, Katelin. Thank you!
