Good Morning Syndicate Fam, I hope your weekend is getting off to a wonderful start. I hope you will all say Hi, and welcome @Matthew Costello, a Consultant, Advocate, and Speaker who is joining us from Hong Kong. I hope you will introduce yourself to the group Matthew and tell us a little about yourself. Can't believe it's the last weekend of the month already and we are heading into April. Just as the grass, flowers, and trees begin to bloom again, it's time to prune and grow our businesses to their best ever potential. This is where our Success Syndicate can Shine! Let's ask other members for help in where we need to grow, the referrals we need, and the services we offer. Use the forums here to ask questions and give advice to the group. Offer to lead a Monday or Thursday Success Chat. Let's take advantage of the amazing lgbtq entrepreneurs we have here and support and thrive together! And although we celebrate Pride all year long, we are now only 2 months from June, where most of the festivals, community and advertising/publicity is at it's peak. Is your business, product, or service ready to go? If not, ask for help, share ideas, and get feedback from the group. I will be gearing my posts the next couple of months to help get us ready, and appreciate all of your help and input. Enjoy your weekend Syndicate!!

Happy Saturday Syndicate Fam! NE Ohio is supposed to actually make it to 70 degrees for the second day in a row, Woo to the Hoo! Along with that wonderful Spring news, comes the dreaded Daylight Savings Time, where we will lose an hour sleep over night. But as I said in my Daily Drip post over on LinkedIn and our Instagram feed: Life and success can work the same way....Growth often looks like giving something up; time, energy, comfort, before you see the benefits on the other side. I'm going to try to beat the rain and have a late breakfast at the beach up on Lake Erie this morning. Be sure to give our wonderful friend @Shanti Gold a quick message, congratulating her and her wife on their 30th wedding anniversary this weekend!!

Excited to welcome 2 new members into our Syndicate Fam. @Oz Graham, from Canada, is an amazing inventor, engineer, husband, dad and philosopher, who I have admired on LinkedIn for quite a while now. And after doing lgbtq entertainment podcasts for over a decade now, @Aidan McClain is a man after my own heart and not too far away in PA, who has created "Hollywood Rebound," and uses his skills in the digital media business to grow and help others. Give them a warm welcome and guys, I hope you will go to the "introductions" tab above to tell us a little more about yourselves, what you do and what the Syndicate Fam can do for you in our network. It's "Friday Wins," so let us know what happened in your business or personal world this past week that was an accomplishment or made you feel proud of yourself. Let's celebrate our win's together and encourage each other if the week was not what we hoped. Check out @Richard Jones big wins for his media company in a post below. This Week's Friday Fun, sorta aligns with our Authority Accelerator Sprint we have been doing this week (todays post for the final Day 5 is separate). LET"S PLAY THE PIVOT GAME....
