Good Monday Morning Syndicate Fam! I hope you all had a most excellent weekend. If you didn't read this week's newsletter, it is FULL of good information and I Hope you will check it out (you can find it on the newsletter category above). Let's welcome our newest member, @John Morley who is from North New Jersey, and is an Author, Engineer, Video Producer, and President of Garden State Gay Socials. Welcome John, looking forward to connecting. Today's Motivation Monday is to get you motivated to take part in our "5 Day Pride Month Business Ready Sprint." Over the next 5 days, on the Classroom Tab above, I will be adding lessons on how to get your business/coaching ready for Pride Month. Hard to believe but we are only a little over 4 weeks away, but there is still time for you to create a game plan for your business to participate authentically and with some flair. Each day I will add a new course, that has ideas, worksheets, attachments and encouragement to be ready to engage with your customers and clients in June. I will also be LIVE TODAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY, from 1-2pm Eastern time for questions or just to chat. Feel free to pop in and say HI if you can.

Welcome Syndicate to our Weekly Newsletter, I hope you all had a fantastic last week and are ready for even bigger and better things ahead. We had 9 new members join us last week, so we hope you will have fun here, learn some things and teach us some things. First, I appreciate those who took the time to answer the survey on what we can do to make the Syndicate better for everyone. You will start to see some changes over the next few weeks to take your suggestions into action. I am starting by adding TWO NEW CATEGORIES to the page near the top. “Testimonials” is to acknowledge another member of the Syndicate for their work, wisdom, help, or just to say, “I See You!” The next category is for “Referrals,” and this is where you should be putting in YOUR information on who would be a great referral for your business, coaching, or creating. This will make it an easy place to find others in the Syndicate who may have the skills we need to improve our work and business. Next, I would love some more input on our Coffee Chats. I have made a few decisions and am looking for more of your thoughts. The Monday afternoon chats have not really had many of us available to jump in, so I have suspended them for a while. The Thursday Morning Success Chats at 10am Eastern time, HAS had 4-7 members usually able to attend, and we have had some great member chats lately, so that will be remaining. Currently the Thursday Chat is only available to Premium and VIP Tier members to join. I do not know if that is limiting the chat or making it more exclusive and would love your comments. If we want to keep it exclusive and a perk, I am going to either not posting the replays for everyone, or make the replays delayed a week for free members. If you think everyone should be able to attend, I will take off the Tier Restrictions. If we keep them premium, I want to arrange another day and time for an ALL MEMBER Chat, so I would like to know what would work best for most of us. Look for Poll Below.

I’ve been noticing a lot of people are looking for something more real when it comes to meeting others. Not just apps. Not just quick conversations that go nowhere. So I started putting together small group experiences designed to be relaxed, social, and actually enjoyable. We’ve got a day trip coming up soon and it’s already starting to come together with a really solid group. Most people come on their own, which makes it easy to just show up and connect. If you’ve been thinking about doing something different, feel free to take a look: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gay-day-trip-nj-northlandz-train-museum-and-lunch-for-gay-men-tickets-1985342372480
