This is your “lobby binder” — everything you need to feel oriented, confident, and at home in this community. Inside you’ll find: Guidelines & Agreements: how we work together. Welcome Posts: introductions, icebreakers, and early conversations. Foundational Resources → the core posts that help you get the most from being here. Think of this category as your reference corner: not for daily use, but always here when you want clarity, context, or a refresher.

We’re pumped you’re here. To kick things off, drop a quick intro in the comments using this template (copy/paste + fill in): 1. Your Name & Where You’re From 🌍 2. Your #1 Focus as an Entrepreneur Right Now 🚀 3. Who Invited You Here? 🙌 (this helps us give them credit in our rewards system!) 👉 Example: “Hey, I’m Alex from Denver. My #1 focus is getting my first 10 paying customers. Invited by Jamie!” This keeps our community personal and ensures your inviter gets their recognition.

The bigger picture: how we support each other, stay respectful, and make this space a powerful resource. These aren’t “rules” so much as the ethos of our space. They guide the tone we want to set: 🔥 Share the Journey Wins, struggles, half-baked ideas — they all matter. This isn’t just a highlight reel, it’s a workshop-in-progress. 🌱 Progress over Perfection We celebrate action, experiments, and lessons learned (even if they’re messy). 🤝 Collaboration beats Competition We’re here to build with each other, not against each other. Ideas are fuel, not scarcity. 💡 Teach as you Learn You don’t have to be an expert. Share what’s working for you right now — that’s the gold. 🪴 Respect and Generosity Debate ideas with curiosity, not combat. Generosity compounds here. This group works best when we treat it like a shared greenhouse: everyone planting, watering, and harvesting together. 🌿

Quick, simple guardrails so we can share openly, promote thoughtfully, and keep things valuable for everyone. Welcome! To keep this space supportive, valuable, and energizing, here are our simple agreements: 1. Lead With Value 💡 Share your business, ideas, and wins — but always bring an insight, lesson, or takeaway others can learn from. (Not just a link or sales pitch.) 2. Give Before You Ask Engage with at least 2 other posts before sharing your own. We grow faster when we support each other. 3. Promo With Intention 📣 Big launches or offers? Awesome! Drop those in the Peer Support Category so everyone has equal spotlight. Tip: If you weave your story + lessons into a post, it’s always welcome in the main feed. 4. Respect the Room Be kind. Stay constructive. Debate ideas, not people. 5. Keep It Relevant 🎯 This group is for entrepreneurs starting or growing their business. Posts should connect to that journey. That’s it — light rules, big freedom. We’re here to learn, share, and grow together. — Ben
