What do you have to celebrate this week. Thanks for being part of the Syndicate!!

Hopefully last week's challenge got you thinking about how you are visible to your customers/clients. Success rarely arrives because we were “ready.” It arrives because we were visible. Opportunities come to the people who are seen, heard, and remembered. Not the most talented. Not the most perfect. The ones who show up consistently. By The Way, I added the Visibility Challenge Steps in the "Classroom" Tab if you ever want a refresher or reminder of the 7 steps to growing your visibility. This week, your advantage isn’t working harder, it's letting the right people see you working. Visibility is not vanity. Visibility is strategy. Show up once today, and you set the tone for the entire week. You Don't Have To Share This With The Group. Do This For Yourself. 15-Minute Action Sprint: “One Visible Move” Goal: Make one intentional visibility move today. Step 1 — Choose Your Platform (1 minute) Pick one: - LinkedIn - Instagram - Facebook - Email list Step 2 — Pick Your Message (3 minutes) Choose one: - A quick insight from your work - A lesson you learned - A question for your audience - A behind-the-scenes moment Step 3 — Post It (5 minutes) Write 3–5 sentences, not perfection, just clarity. Post It. Step 4 — Engage (5 minutes) - Reply to any comments - Leave 2 thoughtful comments on other people’s posts Step 5 — Declare Completion (1 minute) Drop a quick comment here: “Visibility move done.” That’s it, 1 Visible Action. 1 Signal to the World. One to start your week.

🎉 Friday Wins Day — Success Syndicate Check-In 🎉 It’s Friday, which means we pause the grind and recognize progress, because wins don’t have to be loud, viral, or revenue-breaking to matter. Today is about acknowledging what moved forward this week: -Something you finished -Something you started (even imperfectly) -A moment you set a boundary -A risk you took -Or a mindset shift that made things feel lighter Big wins are great. Quiet wins are powerful. Surviving a tough week and still showing up? That counts too. 👇 Drop your Friday Win in the comments One sentence is enough. Brag a little. We’re here for it. When we celebrate progress publicly, we normalize momentum, and that’s how More Pride, More Profit, and More Power actually gets built. You earned this pause. Now let’s cheer each other on and head into the weekend knowing we’re moving in the right direction.

Hi Everyone! A few lovely people have reached out to say hello, so I figured it was time to get my post in here. I am super excited because this is my first intro to a group where I can say I am an emerging Queer Canadian Author with my first book coming out next month. I write through mixed medium about growing up queer in the 90s and early 2000s before social media really took off and before we gained media representation. From aging to trauma, body standards to community labels, and healing in a world where the healing process has been dictated by our hetero counterparts, my book takes on social commentary and theology based on my life experience and observation of our community across platforms and places. My boring day job is in analytics for the time being but being able to collaborate and support each other - especially in places like this that don't rely on the prettiest picture getting the likes is super special. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello! I’m so happy to be part of this group. I work in financial planning with a focus on risk and wealth management, and I’m passionate about supporting our community in achieving both short- and long-term financial goals. For those just out of school — now is the time. My team and I help navigate student loans, build strong financial habits, and plan for your future self with confidence. A little about me: my wife and I have been together for 18 years, and we’re raising two amazing boys along with our two dogs. 🐾 It’s never too early — or too late — to start a financial plan, and I truly enjoy helping people get where they want to be. I work with clients across the country and hold all required FINRA and state licenses. Please feel free to reach out. I offer complimentary meetings to members of our community and would love to connect.
