Today's episode is all about finding community -- something that has made a huge difference to me as I navigate the wild world of small business.
I provide 5 strategies for finding community -- 4 of which you can start on TODAY (and save one for when in-person community is safe and possible again).
The five strategies we discuss in this episode are:
- Facebook groups
- Social media (specifically Instagram)
- In-person events (when it's safe!)
- Friends of friends
- Courses, memberships or other paid programs with an online community element
