Who's making progress? ...and which boxes do you plan to fill or tasks do you plan on completing this weekend? Let's get to work!!

Where are you on your BINGO board? Going forward, each month, we're going to center our collective work on completing tasks on our boards! We will celebrate those who complete a row and/or a column first, BUT we're going to strive to complete the entire board! Y'all cool with that? Let's get to work y'all! This is a fun, interactive way to build the foundation of our poetry businesses! When you complete a task, create a post and tell us about it. Let us cheer you on! Share the board to your social media! This is a great recruiting tool and conversation starter. Be sure to tag @PoetryBusinessNetwork. HIGHLIGHTED TASK: Create a list of your top 20 professional contacts! Call, text, email... and let them know that you'd like to work with them and add value to them and their organization. Let's goooo!!

Hey Family, I've been deep into the planning process of the Poet Life Fest and let me tell you... this is going to be history in the making! If you can make, do what you can to try and make it! Turn it into a vacation if you must, but try your best to come and hang out with us! Let's have some fun! PoetLifeFest.com

As professionals, we're moving way from cell photos. We care how we represent ourselves, right? So for those of us who have some, drop them in the comments. For those of you who have yet to invest in professional photos of yourself, drop in the comments when you PLAN to get some taken? We all have family and friends who are photographers or at least aspiring to be photographers. Put a few dollars in their pocket and help them build their portfolio by shooting some shots of you. This is vital! I can't tell you how many times I've booked the dopest poets and I've had to work magic on their cell phone pics to make them look good on my flyer. Don't be that poet! "Show me what you got!"

Hi Christoph and hi everybody! This is Michael Teferi here! Guess what? Yesterday, I did an Author Interview on YouTube with a really nice lady and host named Elizabeth O’Carroll, whom met me on Skool a few weeks ago, and does her due diligence while being with her life partner. She is on the Gimme 5 Book Reviews and Author Websites podcast. Guess what else? It has already over 1, 200 views on YouTube everybody! Imagine that scenario: I am so psyched, stoked, and excited about the possibilities! Here’s the YouTube link, so please let me know your thoughts and opinions about it with me: https://youtu.be/jGk5vXkJEcI?is=s7OPcfY4tgBIqSNe
