Howdy, y’all! 🤠👋 Join us on Tuesday, June 4th, at Lazarus Brewing Co. at 1902 East 6th in Austin, TX for—as the website says—“COFFEE. BEER. TACOS. JOY.” I’ll be there from 5 pm - 7 pm (maybe longer 😊) wearing a black cap that says, “Make Meetings Suck Less”—or it will be on the table near me. So come on out, bring a +1, and let’s hang with some fellow facilitation nerds. ❤️😎🤓 BTW, I don’t live in Austin. I am just going to be in town presenting a talk about how “meetings suck” at a conference tomorrow and will stay until June 8th to network, do a session at WeWork, and do some other fun stuff. I also didn’t want to miss this golden opportunity to gather with “My People” in a big city. 🥰🤩 Comment below if you are coming or you can reach me through LinkedIn. I accept all connection requests. 👍 BONUS! If you come, you can also pick up one of my silly stickers. 🤪 [Crossposted in the Workshopper Master Inner Circle Mentorship community]

Hey Workshoppers! Many (if not most) entrepreneurs are Starters. They're good at kicking things off, setting a vision, and giving something the first big push. But, like me, those that are good at Starting things, aren't always great at Finishing things. Once the initial burst of excitement wears off, or a new, more fun, more shiny thing appears, they tend to Start something new VS Finishing the first thing. The latest episode of our Unscheduled CEO podcast goes into why it's sometimes pointless to try fixing this problem (because it's hard coded) and what to do instead! It's more of a short voicenote than an actual episode. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or directly in the browser on Substack Hope this helps you Starters in the group!

Hello everyone, I've been thinking a lot about what type of services and workshops I want to provide, and one thing I have many doubts about is pricing. I recently listened to Jonathan's podcast where he talks about setting a day rate. That sounds very reasonable, specially considering I've had experience selling by hour of work (for design work) and it was very tricky to forecast how much a project should eventually cost. However, we do know that a 2 hours workshop can take up to a few days of actual work, counting briefing, planing and reporting. Imagine a 1 day or multiple days workshop. How do you price that? By package? As in, for example, a 1 day workshop would be more or less 4 days of work, therefore it would cost (day rate * 4)?

:) have a nice weekend!
