Happy Monday Syndicate Members! Hope you had an amazing weekend. Mine was spent re-charging the batteries, cleaning up the house, and starting a new course in consulting and marketing. This week we are going to do a new 5-Day Challenge on How to Build Authority in your niche. This is a Challenge Sprint, so there will be fun little prizes and the more that participate, the more great ideas we will have to share in our own entrepreneurship. As always, reach out with any questions or comments. If you are not able to do the Sprint, It's "Motivation Monday" Comment or DM another member to brighten their day and provide a little motivation. Authority Acceleration Sprint: Day 1: Monday: CLAIM YOUR POV! Most queer entrepreneurs don’t lack talent. They lack positioning. If your message feels fuzzy, it’s because you’re trying to be for everyone. Authority requires edges. Today we define yours. Here’s the truth: If you don’t clearly stand for something…You’ll blend into everything. Today’s Challenge Assignment: Look over the attached Day 1 Worksheet below to help you define your authority value Complete this sentence: I help ______ achieve ______ by rejecting ______ and replacing it with ______. Be Bold, Be Specific, and Be Unapologetic. This is not corporate LinkedIn-safe language.This is clarity. Drop your Authority Statement below by 8pm EST. 🔥 Bonus: Comment on at least 2 other members’ posts and help sharpen their message. Let’s stop being “a little bit of everything.” More Pride. More Positioning. More Power.
