We're the first members of this group, in the week...we're the first 15...soon we'll be 20, 30, 100, 2,000... It's the intimate moments like this that make all the difference. When we bond as early members of this community, the connections we forge will be noticed by new members as the community grows. And because we know who @Suzanne Taylor-King is, we know the quality of people she will attract and enroll in this community, and the massive size it will grow to. Lots of powerful connections are coming, and we are the early leaders of this group. I'd like to encourage everyone here to take the time connecting with the founding members. Let's take the time to forget relationships that can create an abundance of opportunities and last a lifetime. What do you hope to receive from this community? And what do you intend to contribute to make it great?

The Follow-Up: How to Turn Connections into Meaningful Business Relationships We’ve all been there—you attend a networking event, connect with some great people, and then…nothing. Why? Because networking without follow-up is just socializing. If you want to build a network that matters, you have to make follow-up a priority. Here’s how to do it effectively: 1. Follow Up Quickly Timing matters. Aim to follow up within 48 hours of meeting someone. Send a personalized message that references something specific from your conversation. This helps build a stronger connection and shows that you’re engaged and serious. 2. Provide Value Right Away In your follow-up message, offer value—this could be a resource, an introduction, or even a solution to a challenge they mentioned. The key is to position yourself as a trusted resource, not just another contact in their inbox. 3. Set the Next Step Don’t let the conversation end after the first follow-up. Suggest a clear next step, whether it’s a virtual coffee, a brainstorming session, or collaborating on a project. Keep the momentum going and move the relationship forward. 4. Stay Top of Mind You don’t need to follow up constantly, but you do need to stay in touch. Set reminders to check in every few weeks or months, depending on the relationship. The more consistently you show up, the more likely you’ll be remembered when opportunities arise. 5. Make it Personal Remember, networking is about relationships, not transactions. Keep your follow-ups personal and authentic. Show genuine interest in the person, not just what they can offer you. Building a strong network takes time, but when you master the art of follow-up, you turn initial connections into meaningful, long-lasting relationships.

I was working on my mastermind group for coaches and I decided to use ChatGPT to put my list of coaching skills worksheets and trainings in an order. It came up with coaching levels, similar to Rich Litvin's levels of coaches, BUT I like mine better because instead of focusing on the money you are making to determine your "level" it focuses on the skills you have. I would love your thoughts and if you are a coach vote on your level, so I know where to start adding my massive vault of content and trainings!
