hi, it's Cindy. I have mentioned before the Growth Collective. I know a few times in recent episodes and I'm getting some questions about what it actually is and how it works, so I wanted to take a few minutes to break down exactly what the Growth Collective offers and how it can help you. If you're an overwhelmed entrepreneur looking for ongoing support, the Growth Collective is my$1 a day business support system. Yes. Literally$1 a day, so$365 for a year, and it's for everything I'm about to tell you. Here's what I created it for. You're running a business probably solo or with a tiny team. You need support, accountability, and answers to your business and productivity questions. You don't need a 10 K Mastermind or a six month intensive coaching program right now. You just need accessible, ongoing help that fits your real life and your real budget. That's the growth collective inside you will get three core things that make running your business so much easier. The first is the weekly office hours. With me every week, you can drop in, ask your business questions, get productivity, help troubleshoot what's not working, and get real time coaching. It's like having a business coach on retainer for a dollar a day. When you're stuck on a marketing decision, you need help with time management or want feedback on a launch strategy, the office hours are where you'll get answers. Second, you get access to three complete courses that would normally cost hundreds of dollars each. There's a course on building your business foundation, one on personalizing your productivity plan, and a bonus course on how to onboard chat GPT as your business teammate. All of that's included. And third, this could be the most valuable part. You are joining a growing community of entrepreneurs who actually get it. These are real women running businesses, juggling real life, dealing with overwhelm and supporting each other through it. When you need to reality check a decision, or even celebrate a win, or just vent about how hard entrepreneurship is. Some days this community understands. So here's how the Growth Collective is going to actually help you in your day-to-day business life. So remember that Boundaries episode where I talked about serving client expectations and protecting your time members, bring those exact scenarios to office hours and we work through them together. How about the five minute action rule for when you're completely overwhelmed and can't get started? The community shares how they're using that and how it's working for them, or how about the perfectionism episode about shipping out into the world, the imperfect work. We reinforce that in the growth collective constantly because your need for ongoing support to break those patterns is not just one podcast episode. It's ongoing. This is where the frameworks I teach in the podcast come to life. You get ongoing support implementing them. You get accountability. You get a coach and a community cheering you on while you build your business. So if you've been listening to these episodes thinking, I need more of this, or I wish I had someone to ask specific questions, or maybe even, I need a community that understands the overwhelmed entrepreneur life. The Growth Collective is exactly that. It's$365 for the year, which breaks down to a dollar a day, which is less than your daily coffee. You get weekly access to me, three complete courses, daily productivity tips, and a community of entrepreneurs who are building businesses. In a real world and not the highlight reel. So if you wanna learn more or join us, you can visit the link in the show notes. I would love to have you. All right, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for letting me share about this. And seriously, if you have any questions about the Growth Collective, please DM me on Instagram at exclusively Cindy, and I'd be happy to chat about them.
