The Monthly Newsletter went out today. All members should have received it. If not . . . you probably removed yourself from the list.

Here’s the video that’s included in the newsletter:

As always, your feedback is welcome

We had a wonderful meeting on “Final Friday” yesterday. The recording is Here.

We had a very good size crowd. Lots of questions. Lots of interaction.

Once again, we mentioned that all paid members of the SBT Community are eligible to receive FIVE hours of free marketing virtual assistant support each year.
This can be used to set up social media accounts, help with mailing lists, etc.

Thank you to everyone who participated – Including Amy on her boat. Great questions. Great conversation. Lots of good advice.

Check it out – and join us next month!

The three-week mini course for September was an introduction to the philosophy of Relax Focus Succeed.

The course includes the ebook version of the revised edition of Relax Focus Succeed.

All three classes are posted here:

We are looking forward to a GREAT monthly member call-in.

Last month we had an amazing call-in with lot of active participation. I say: Let’s do that again!

Final Friday: September 27th, 2019

One of the benefits of your membership is the monthly get-together Community Meeting. This get-together repeats every month on the Final Friday at 9:00 AM Pacific / Noon Eastern. Prepare your questions!

Please email questions to concierge@smallbizthoughts.com. We will address the mailed-in questions first, and then open the phones for any questions you might have.

Bring your problems, questions, victory stories, and whatever else is on your mind!

All meetings are recorded and made available to members.

All member are welcome. You can choose whether to turn your camera and microphone on or off. We’ll respect you either way

🙂

We all love Zoom, right?

Well now we are taking our Zoom engagement to a new level.

Effective immediately, we are making our Zoom Room available to all SBT Community Members 24 hours a days, seven days a week!

24×7

Why and What? Here’s what we’re up to:

Members Click Here to Access the Link.

Whenever you want to chat with someone in the community, you simply go to that link. Your video and microphone will be OFF by default, but you can always turn them on. Recording of the session is also OFF by default.

If you’re ever just hanging out and wondering if anyone else is hanging out, we encourage you to log and engage.

Note: This is the same Zoom room we use for classes and Community meetings. So if you’re hanging out and we crank up a class or meeting, we will (politely) let you know that we “need the room” for an hour or so.

We are VERY open to ideas you have about how we can use the Zoom Room. Just email us – karlp@smallbizthoughts.com or concierge@smallbizthoughts.com.

The September Mini Course is A Practical Introduction to Relax Focus Succeed. Week One is now posted.

RFS is a guide to balancing your personal and professional lives and being more successful in both. It lays out my philosophy of finding success without driving myself 80 hours a week, being constantly stressed out, or having a heart attack.

In modern small businesses – especially in technology – there’s a sense that we have to be 100% on all the time and never rest. And that leads to all kinds of personal problems, as well as reduced job performance. We KNOW we have to stop this insane behavior but we tell ourselves we can’t.

Today’s Member call-in was awesome!

Huge thanks to everyone who participated. Lots of new faces, too. I appreciate you jumping in, asking questions, and contributing.

Special thanks to Amy for joining us from her boat! Life is good.

Good tips on reading my books on Kindle, backing up your cloud services, and convincing clients that they need to backup their cloud services (hard to believe this is a question, but it is).

Also a bit of unpaid promotion for The ASCII Group.

All in all a good call.

🙂

The revised YouTube class is complete.

Note the special members-only offer at the end.

We will help you set up your YouTube channel at no additional charge!

Download the revised checklists and see the online tour of a YouTube channel.

I presented this live in August 2019.

This presentation is great for people who are trying to see the big picture and understand the role of Standard Operating Procedures play in a successful IT service business. There are many great truths presented here.

Presented as a ZIP file with slides and MP3 audio.
