Welcome Everyone! It's a beautiful Wednesday afternoon here in New London, and I couldn't be more excited to personally welcome you into the Beyond The Booth community. You've officially made the leap from a traditional vendor to a strategic business owner, and we are thrilled to have you here. This is your new home for getting the support, resources, and accountability you need to turn your event-based business into a predictable, year-round success story. We know you're excited to dive in, so here are the 3 simple steps to get started right now. ✅ Step 1: Introduce Yourself! This is the most important step! We want to meet you. Click on the link below and leave a comment with a quick intro. It's the best way to break the ice and start connecting with your fellow vendors. Please include: 1. Your name and the name of your business. 2. A social media link to what you create/sell. 3. A picture of your favorite product or your booth setup! 4. The #1 thing you're hoping to achieve by joining this community. 📚 Step 2: Explore the Classroom This is where you'll find all our core training and resources. We've loaded the Classroom with the tools you need to implement the strategies from the guide. To start, we highly recommend checking out the 'Event Day Asset Builder' course. It's the perfect foundation and comes with the checklists and templates we mentioned. 🗓️ Step 3: Check the Calendar for Live Events This community is about connection and live learning. We host monthly calls to help you get results faster. Check the calendar on the left-hand side for the dates of our upcoming 'Business Deep Dive' and 'Marketing Q&A' calls. The next one is coming up soon, and we'd love to see you there! A Few Simple Rules to Make This a Great Place for Everyone: 1. Be Kind & Supportive: We're all here to grow together. Share your wins, support others through their challenges, and be generous with your knowledge. 2. No Self-Promotion (Except in the Right Place): To keep the main feed valuable, please don't post direct links to your products. We have a dedicated "Share Your Stuff" thread for that each month! 3. Ask Questions: There are no "dumb" questions. If you're stuck on something, post it! The whole community is here to help you find a solution.
