Yey! We did it - first session done.

Next stop accountability before the next session.

Do you make yourself accountable? It can be hard to stay on track and know what you need to do when and where to start. Whether you are just starting your business or you have decades of experience, it is never wasted time. Holding yourself accountable for getting things done so you can grow as a business but also refine what you are doing to achieve your life goals is always a step in the right direction. Online or offline, small steps, big change.

I caught up with Paul to ask him what he thought of the session.

Here is a very quick 1 min video, where I ask him just that.

Hey folks - I'm launching a brand new business brainstorming and accountability group - on Monday, yep, a few days time and I totally forgot to post this out on our own page.

I've had some bookings so we are up and running - ideally though I think 1-2 more people would be great.

So have a look over the page, see if it is for you. If it isn't please share it with someone who it will be.

We are looking for business owners, charities, entrepreneurs and retail / e-commerce shop owners. If you are at the stage in your business where you want to start spending time 'on' the business so rather than fire fighting in it, then come along and see what it is all about.

Here is a quick over view:

Group brainstorming sessions to help you get unstuck
Dedicated time to get your questions answered
Deep dive into chosen monthly topics to focus you on the different areas of your business
Getting started with micro systems and how to implement them
To meet like-minded local businesses that will support you and your business
Free coffee and cake!

Yesterday I made an unedited, one the video to explain it in person. It's not the best video for many reasons BUT it does explain what on earth I'm up to and why. (Link in comments for more info and option to book taster session)

During lockdown I joined a writing group, one of the best things I've ever done. I write every morning and sometimes every lunchtime too. I get stuff done, the 'to do' list is shrinking and I'm writing every, single day.

This morning my writing Power Hour started off well and then I couldn't find an outline for a book idea I'd written. Searching through my files whilst the timer ticked away I could not find the work I'd already done. Really annoyed - I know its there somewhere. When the timer went off, the hour was up, what had I done, just stared at my screen and searched for files.

I reported back filled with woe of my lost work and then the gold happened. The reason I'm still in this group over 6 months later. All of the other team Moxie writers set about to help me re form my lost outline. Giving me ideas, writing notes in the chat and discussing what they would like to read about, what they would find helpful. The topic is low waste living and I got so much feed back, support, help and ideas that my outline that I've lost is basically now re-written.

I've got to re type it but the foundation is there and I can watch it back and make more notes when the replay gets emailed.

This is the magic that happens when a group of like minded people get together regularly and support each other.

If you'd like to give this is a go there is an evening of wiring coming up in the format of the power hours I do. You don't have to be a member of team moxie you can pay a one of fee and join in for this one event.

I'm definitely going - I'm looking forward to see how much of my book I can get done - the outline is now as good as written thanks to team moxie.

Tuesday 26th 10pm - 2am
Join me for the first ever team moxie write night

Turbo-charge your writing project in one fun, late-night* writing party—and come out of it ready to keep galloping onwards.

So today I did my first 4sight at 4N The Vale - Marvellous Miskin. It went okay and I had some great feedback. Another box ticked for the things I don't really want to be putting myself through - but once I got going I actually enjoyed it. So - do something today that makes you feel uncomfortable or pushes you slightly. You can amaze yourself if you just give yourself the opportunity.
