I have attached a picture of a pocket door in a current project. Can you spot what's wrong with it? If you look at it closely, you will see that there is a frame that is painted in gray and the center is in white. That's what the designer picked, it isn't the wrong part. The two vertical gray sections of the door are called stiles. The horizontal parts are called the rails. The stiles are not the same. They should be. You can see that the left is bigger than the right. This is a mistake. A mistake that could be avoided with a clear set of drawings. They should be equal width. These are real world details that we discuss in my community, Drafting Workshop. If you do drawings, plans, blueprints, shop drawings, etc. this is the place for you. Come by and take a look.

I think we all are trying to figure out how to stop bots and spammers from getting into our communities. The video below shows one method I'm using to reduce bots. 👇

It just occurred to me that we are missing out on a great opportunity. There have been several times when I want to refer someone to someone who was in the PERSONALS, but I don't remember their name or their group name, I just remember what they did or who they served. Sometimes, I have time to scroll down the long list of members names to try to find them again, but often I don't. So I was thinking that after each PERSONALS meet and greet, we should put a comment under the recording with the name of our group (and a link) and who we serve. What do you think? I'll go first as an example, but feel free to add yours as well. POST UNDER THE RECORDING. NOT HERE. 😉

So sometimes I have to draw what are called "structural plans" which talk about the structural members and foundation are going to be needed to build a house, or really any structure. These can include steel, wood, and concrete among other materials that are needed to create the structural integrity of the building. I'm designing and drawing a house for my brother. I have attached what I received from the structural engineer as notes and I have to turn these into legible and understandable drawings for the builder to understand. Does anyone want to give me a hand in figuring these out? 😅🏗️🏘️ Drafting Workshop is my community to check out.

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️
