OUR PARTNERS FOR THE CO-WORKING COMMUNITY

This co-working group is in partnership with Wanda Duncan of Black Women Trvl.

Thank you again to Jessica for hosting co-working almost daily for the Vaycarians, including on Thursday’s (my usual day to host) during my summer hiatus. If you’re not yet part of that awesome Vaycarious community, join Stephanie Perry’s Patreon so you can gain access to her discord.

(See their community links below.)

Thanks again to Wanda, Jessica, and Stephanie for seeing the value of co-working and supporting me in my endeavors to partner with Jessica in creating a thriving co-working community that helps us all get more results as we focus and get important stuff done within a 2-hour time frame.

Regarding Mentorship and Coaching

MENTORSHIP

This co-working group is a form of mentorship, and being part of this community is highly empowering. We learn a ton from each other every time, during our breaks in between each working Pomodoro. We also support each other and encourage each other, during our weekly sessions and beyond the session. That is mentorship.

COACHING

Coaching is a higher-value service that is much more systematic and intentional. So, as an added perk for higher tier patrons, you will be able to access the co-working journal to use for writing down your intentions and tracking your progress as you take action on them during each weekly co-working session. This is a form of coaching that is done via guided journaling.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Other modes of mentorship or coaching beyond the co-working may be added in the future, as the community grows, but for now, this is plenty. This co-working is enough to provide you with an empowering mentorship community, and if you’re investing in yourself to receive coaching, you will have access to the journal and to other live coaching opportunities that go beyond the Thursday session.

[UPCOMING EVENT] How Well Do You Express Vision & Mission?
How Well Do You Express

Vision & Mission

as a Small Business Leader?
```
Part of the Lead Like A Queen Complimentary Seminar Series
```
If you are not sure how to clearly express your vision and mission as a small business leader, plant seed for your transformation by learning more and improving your leadership so you’re able to Lead Like A Queen and see more business growth.

In small business, you become a leader as soon as you start selling your products or services, but being a “queen” is about the mindset of responsibility, instead of privilege. Keeping this mindset empowers you to impact the whole world with your “small” business.

This is truly a big responsibility, and many small business leaders start feeling overwhelmed and/or unsure as they start to grow. It is hard to understand how to keep your business moving forward over time.

TIP: you must clearly communicate your vision and mission…

…so you can build the right team who will keep your clients happy for the long-term.

“Until you understand how to assess and improve your leadership in this area of communicating your vision and mission, it will impact your team’s effectiveness, your customers’ happiness, and, most importantly, your profit growth.”
~ Donna Marie Johnson

WHAT TO EXPECT? An inspiring & empowering event to support you with:
- Assessing your small business leadership;
- Improving how you express vision and mission;
- Hearing other small business leaders’ insights; and
- Asking your small business leadership questions
Event Name: “How Well Do You Express Vision & Mission as a Small Business Leader?”

Why Attend? Make business better: communicate better, lead better & make more money

Date & Time: Tentatively Spring 2020

Location: Tentatively the Historic Newnan, Georgia

FREE Registration: Will be available soon. (Use contact form to express interest now.)

Summary of Last Night’s Seminar
The Fayette County Public Library co-hosted our summer seminar as the second of two Lead Like A Queen leadership development events in their small meeting room. We had 11 very engaged attendees which made this an awesome event, with some of them asking me to do this type of event again.

See photos and videos on instagram. Connect with @LeadLikeAQueen

Our topic for the 6/4 event last night was…

“How Well Are You Focusing as a Small Business Leader?”

Thank you, again, to the Fayette County Public Library for co-hosting our summer seminar in the Lead Like A Queen leadership development event series.
~ Donna Marie Johnson @leadlikeaqueen

Brief Summary of Discussion
- We discussed our completed basic focus assessments to see which areas we are strong or weak in.
- We heard from our interview guest, Magaline Harvey, about her journey as a small business owner and what helps her develop and maintain a strong focus as a small business leader.
- We answered audience questions to address topics including:
  - how to follow-through on a project/task and see it completed successfully;
  - how to prevent burnout; and
  - how to find a mentor/coach
[TESTIMONIAL]

How Did Assessment Help Val?

One of the audience members, Valerie Anderson, stated that the assessment helped her to think about WHY she has been allowing too many distractions to interrupt her morning routine while she’s completing important high-priority tasks: fear of missing out (aka FOMO). But the assessment and the discussion helped her to remember wisdom she’s heard in the past and realize that other people’s remote urgencies are totally out of her control anyway, so those notifications can wait for her to look at them later at a designated time where the interruptions won’t affect her most important priorities.

Basic Assessment Helped Attendees to See Strengths and Weaknesses and Engage in Discussion for Answers on How to Improve on Strengths and Eliminate Weaknesses

What Can YOU Do Differently?

If you can relate to Val’s testimony, please turn off notifications for 30 minutes to an hour while working on an important task, such as writing a blog article to attract new customers or creating a new product to sell in your store. Other people can wait for 30 minutes. It won’t kill them…

…but those highly focused 30 minutes can make a world of difference for you as a small business leader.
```
[Side note... in the middle of writing this, my email popped up and interrupted me. I have to figure out how to turn that off! LOL!]

Watch and hear a bit more detail from Donna Marie Johnson about the event and an important main point to help you stay super focused.

BASIC ASSESSMENT

If you wanted to come to this event and are disappointed that you missed it, join my newsletter email list (click here) so that I can send you a more detailed summary of our discussion, including a copy of the assessment form that we all completed at the start of the event.

MORE IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT

NOTE: The assessment is basic and not comprehensive. It doesn’t cover every area that small business leaders need to address, but it gives you a good start. If you’d like a more in-depth comprehensive assessment, schedule a free 15 minute call (click here) to learn more about the Lead Like A Queen Small Business Impact Assessment.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE: “SMALL BIZ BIG IMPACT BUT HOW?“

This more in-depth assessment is based off of my book “Small Biz Big Impact, But How?: How Conscious Selfless Servants Impact the World”, available for free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. To see the book preview on the blog, click here.
