On an Uber ride today the passenger saw that I mentioned I was a poet in my bio. He asked me to tell him about that. I briefly went through my business, the poetry business network, and some services/how to find me. When I mentioned @sculptedrosescompany he said "oh that's was on your license plate..." Yessir ‼️ that's that Module 2 Poetry Business Institute Branding Peoples 🌹 Go make your car a billboard for your business 💯♥️

I just confirmed with the performers and all agreed to the times I laid out. Our second show will be awesome, as the membership saw what was possible.

Our Missouri chapter member took advantage of our in-house band and took me up on my goal to collaborate. Made his own flyer. Building trust, one member at a time. We are going to see great things with the members we have. And our variety show will improve each month , providing more creatives with LIVE performances.

Today I went to a small industry-specific networking group - one I've never been associated with, but was invited to. One woman has become an incredible cheerleader for me - and its led to multiple opportunities. In January, she heard me introduce myself for 30 seconds, invited me to explore speaking with her group, then hired me to work with her team for a session. Today, this cheerleader voiced her appreciation and so did some others about their experience of my sessions. At the end of the meeting, I was invited to speak to another group next month and to bring a team-building experience to another company. Something wonderful is rising. Thank you for giving me a space to share this.

... and we got a lot accomplished. Our WINS included an excellent Networking event, more time devoted to writing, a second open Mic show with an interview, our variety show, 2 books were published by 2 different members, scheduling and research was improved, networking was increased, performing live for the first time, excelling with learning python computer language, and a book signing is scheduled. The lessons learned included: need to concentrate more on WHY, need to network even more, need to check and double check your work and decisions, get better at understanding all the electronic devices, don't put too much in your plate at one time, multiple different types of editing you can get for your book, need to be more organized, if you have a new book, don't leave home without copies. The meeting spot is not really good for the LIVE Meet (The TVs were blaring, the music was blaring, and we sat together and took care of business. I doubt anyone on LIVE could make any sense of our conversation). I caught a couple of smiles or curious looks as people ate their crab legs and watched us meet. I collected the WINS and Lessons Learned first, then we spoke about future business and how we can raise funds. I firmed up our variety show with the performers ready to go. We forgot to take a picture, but everyone left happy and glad to have like minded people to collaborate with. Great meeting!
