Book Club and Beyond: A Vision for Our Business Community’s Growth

I want to float an idea here and get your thoughts. Last week I talked about how I wanted to make this a far more interactive forum, and this week I want to take that a step further. What do you think of a book club?

You’ve seen the occasional book recommendation pass through here over the last few months, and instead of me just showing up with a book that I think is worth reading, what if this were a monthly thing and it was an actual book club?

At the beginning I would likely be providing the titles, but between book club meetings I’d love to have recommendations come in and offer up a short list to the group for voting and selection.

To paint an even broader picture for you, I want to yank the curtain back and show you what I’ve got in store for the coming years. This book club is part of it, the blog being heavily influenced by your questions and topics, both of those feed into my vision for the future.

On top of those interactions, in the near future I’m going to start opening wish lists for different Mastermind groups focused on specific topics. This will be an awesome opportunity to not just take a personal and professional journey but to develop relationships with like-minded people similar to you. There’s a ton of value in having a group to share your thoughts with, bounce ideas off of, and learn from–All this above and beyond the focused topic and guidance that will be the foundation of the group.

Down the line I’d like to build a community for business owners filled with the support and network necessary to help them create their own ideal future. There will be an online space like Circle or Slack for constant interaction, feedback, and more. There will be monthly breakfasts or happy hour get togethers with a specific topic, maybe a presentation, and some networking built in.

As you read through that, what jumps out at you? What do you see and think “That’s awesome. I can’t wait for that. When can I learn more?”

All of this is a work in progress. Stay tuned for the waitlists. And most importantly, all of this is for you. If you have something in mind you think would be immensely helpful for you and you don’t see it listed here, please reach out and let me know. My whole goal is to provide as much support as possible to get you where you want to be.

You are obviously a key stakeholder here so I would love to hear your thoughts. So let’s get started!

Lastly, I recently launched my first Masterclass: Accelerate the Growth of Your Business. The next one will be focused on Product and will likely happen near the end of October or early November. My goal is to settle into a sustainable cadence there and I think early in each month is the right place for it.

Lots to look forward to.
