I recently joined a new local group called the ?Badass Ladies in Business.? Put together by a couple of sassy and smart local biz ladies, namely Angie of Fresh Money Studios and Erin of ZukaBaby, the idea is that a small group of local & like-minded biz ladies will meet once a month or so to share stories from the business trenches, compare notes, brainstorm, inspire, and generally support each other in our respective business journeys.
I?m also part of another local group, aimed more specifically at craft-based business. The New Orleans Craft Mafia is based on the Austin Craft Mafia. (Although there are now many different Craft Mafia groups all over the world.) As a group, we?ve accomplished much more than most of us could do as individuals. We?ve hosted monthly craft markets, holiday parties, sponsored swag bags for a large event here in town? and we?ve made a bit of a name for ourselves along the way! We were even featured as the cover story of our local weekly news magazine, Gambit Weekly:
I?m a big fan of groups like this. As a business owner, especially as a solo-preneur, there is so much to do, so much to learn, and many of us do not have the luxury of a partner or friends who ?get it?. So it?s really helpful to have a supportive network of other business owners who do.
Check your local area to see if there are groups like these that would be a good fit for you, and if there isn?t one, create your own!
