Party Time, Time Freedom, & Knocking on Doors
When it comes to work, two things that we both value - possibly above all else - are freedom and flexibility. Financial freedom, certainly. But just as important, time freedom and the flexibility to work when and where we want.
To that end, we're headed down to Lauren's hometown in the Atlanta suburbs on Friday to knock on doors and do what we can to ensure that Georgia goes blue in November. And it never crossed our minds that it would interfere with work. (In fact, Lauren's been doing it every election cycle since 2016, never once missing a deadline or business opportunity.)
We know we'll be able get all of our various projects and deliverables done because we have the freedom to plan our work around our lives (and not the other way around).
This would be so much harder - nay, nearly impossible - if we didn't own our own businesses.
And it's one of the many reasons we are so passionate about helping womxn entrepreneurs to build businesses that allow them to do the same. We truly believe that when womxn have more money, more freedom, and more autonomy, everyone wins.
So you can imagine how excited we are about the Weak Ties/Strong Bonds Membership Launch Eventsonline on Monday, October 28th and IRL for those in the NYC area on Tuesday, October 29th.
Over the past few months, we've been hard at work, dreaming up a membership that will not only connect you with our community, but will also support your business growth, expand your network, and support not only your work, but also your lives, because those two things are deeply intertwined when you own your own business.
Join us at Maison Sisley in Manhattan for an evening of pampering from the pros at Sisley, wine tasting from Sun Moon Rising, and (actually enjoyable) networking.
And whether you're IRL or online, you'll get a first look at the Weak Ties/Strong Bonds membership, and the opportunity to become a Founding Member.
We can't wait to see you there,
