The Problem:

If you're like me, you do sometimes get those business books read. I usually listen to them while I mow the lawn, walk, or drive. And, I think, "Ooo, what a great idea! I need to do that."

But, since I'm not in a position to write it down, I forget about it, and it never gets implemented.

I need accountability. And, I'm thinking you do, too!

The Solution:

Each month we will all read/listen to the same business book.

Week 1: Read first half of book and choose a task you'd like to implement.

Week 2: Implement that task/strategy, share with the group, and get feedback.

Week 3: Read the second half of the book and choose a second task you'd like to implement.

Week 4: Implement that second task/strategy, share with the group, and get feedback.

Then, the next month, we'll all read/listen to the next business book and do the same as above.

Why This Will Work:

1. We'll have accountability to get our book read.
2. We'll have accountability and feedback to get our tasks implemented.
3. Our businesses and/or lives will function better and grow!

Who This is For:

Narrowly, it's for homeschool moms who own their own businesses--any kind of business! But, we can easily extend it to mompreneurs who don't homeschool. Also, you don't have to be a Christian, but I am, and will not be hesitating to share Scripture when applicable, to pray for us, and to encourage God-honoring conversations, etc. The books we read will not all be written by Christians, though.

How it Works:

Each Sunday afternoon, you'll receive an email from me reminding you what we are to do the next week (read or implement) and a link to share your thoughts, suggestions, questions, and comments!

The Books:

Read the book, listen to it, or do both at the same time! It's up to you.

Here is my Amazon store with all the books listed.

How Does "Implementation Week" Work (Weeks 2 and 4 of every month)?

Everything will be done right here in Teachable. We'll have a comment thread where each of us will check in and tell what task we're implementing that week. The task can be very simple such as buying a journal and journaling for 5 minutes every morning for the entire week (idea from The Miracle Morning) or creating an email signature to use as a form letter email that answers your most common customer service question (idea from Free to Focus). If you're doing something like updating copy from one of your sales pages, you can post your ideas here in the group to get feedback from others (idea from Building a StoryBrand).

Rules:

• Everything shared in the group stays in the group. Do not share anyone's ideas or plans outside of our group.
• Participate in the bi-weekly implementation and feedback threads.
• Kindness reigns.
• Give as much as you take.
• No profanity.
• Have fun and grow!
