Shifting to Collaboration

Are you feeling overwhelmed, not leaving enough time for you for you to enjoy your life?

You know who you are, ready, willing and want to grow to the next level. How do you do this when you are already so busy?

It’s called collaborating. We need to shift our mind-set, shift of how we are doing things, to get where we want to go. By working with others, whether they are vendors, other solo-entrepreneurs or people who live in your community or far away. When you come together and collaborate, you can grow exponentially without, spending a lot of extra time.

How do I know this works?

Every Wednesday at noon, I collaborate with Bonnie Dubrow and we host a weekly Webinar series or show we call it, in helping professionals, solo-entrepreneurs “Become known as an authority in their niche”

Wouldn’t we all like to be an instant success. We are discussing, asking questions, interviewing people who are experts in their field or those who want help in getting to be an authority in their niche.

Bonnie and I met on BlitzTime, networking with each other and decided to do something together. We are loving it! It’s insightful, I am learning so much from each person that engages with us.

I also have a Mastermind Group, we meet every 2 weeks and share what’s going on, what we need support in, sharing tools and resources that may help us all. This certainly supports me, doing what I am doing.

Of course I am have asked to join other people in projects as well…some of these projects require some percolating time. What Bonnie calls noodling time.

This is what I am doing with the new version of Heart@Work. I am shifting to something else. It’s like my little voice is saying..time to let go and another part of me is saying NO, NO, I have too much invested in this site. I have been blogging and writing about Marketing, Social Media, Relationships now since 2004. It’s been a long time.. I don’t want to give it up!

My couple of other collaborations are writing, and supporting other difference makers on Heart Jam. On Sedona Social Media, my goal is to connect Northern AZ to Social media, by providing resources, people who can help you, post events like the Tweet Up’s that happen every month here in Sedona and the surrounding area.

What do people really want? Sometimes, we just don’t know and for some of us we know we need to shift but to what? and when?

I hope you will join me, perhaps we’ll shift together.

Like a match making service? Two people with two services connect and become a power house? Collaborate? With both wanting to do a fundraising event but neither has the resources to do the whole campaign? Like 5 businesses who want to sponsor July 4th fireworks but alone they could not? hmmmm… sounds like you are onto something. Getting people to shout all at once: Come to Northern Arizona so the world hears and then want to vacation there? I will. I love Northern Arizona. (aint so far from Zion National Park where I proposed) :)

thanks.
