I’m really looking forward to this! We’re going to explore what happens when business feels hard - and whether that’s actually a design issue rather than a discipline issue. If you’d like 30 minutes to pause, reflect, and think about your natural working rhythm, you’re very welcome to join us. 🔗 Add to Calendar 🌿 I'd love to see you there!

There’s no shortage of visible business success online - often built on big launches, high output, and constant visibility. And while that genuinely works for some people, it can quietly create a standard that not everyone wants, or is able, to meet. This year, I’m intentionally amplifying different kinds of business stories. Inside the Quieter Business Community (for women building their businesses in their own way), I share a weekly Quiet Founder Story - spotlighting a member and her journey. And during our weekly coffee chats, one member has a simple 10-15 minute window to talk about her business. Just space to share what she’s creating, with others who are curious and supportive. If you’re building something thoughtfully or steadily, or in a way that doesn’t quite match the louder models of success, you’re very welcome to join us.

Much business advice assumes you need more discipline, better habits, or stronger execution. But what I see a lot - especially with thoughtful, capable business owners - is something different. Work feels heavy when your business is shaped around how you think you should work, not how you naturally work best. In this session, hosted here in the CLASSIFIEDS community, we’ll explore how to recognise your natural working rhythm - and how small adjustments can make your business feel more sustainable day to day. 📅 Monday, 16 February, 2pm GMT 📍 Google Meet 🔗 Add to Calendar 💬 Are you thinking of joining us?

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

*Note: events on the calendar with a 🎉 are for everyone. Events with nothing are premium, and events with a 🌟 are VIP. 😉 This is a free session for everyone! Discover a more sustainable way to grow your business by shaping it around how you work best. In this session, CLASSIFIEDS member Teresa Fidge of the Quieter Business Community shares a different way of thinking about growth - one that’s based on design rather than discipline. We’ll look at the idea of working rhythms and how different people naturally focus, use energy, and make progress in different ways. You’ll be invited to reflect on: - how you actually work when things feel most natural - where your business might be asking too much of you, and - what small adjustments could make your work feel easier to live with This isn’t about doing more, being more consistent, or fixing yourself. It’s about noticing what fits you, and shaping your business to support focus, energy, and steady progress - without forcing yourself into someone else’s model. It’s a reflective, practical session designed to help you feel clearer about how your way of working can be a strength, not something to push against. Mark it on your calendar and invite anyone you know who might be interested. They don't have to be a member of the CLASSIFIEDS to attend this session (it's a public community!).
