Topic: The Question Nobody's Asking: Five Steps to Being Ahead of Your Time
Guests - Your first meeting is on us! If you are not a paid member of WESOS and this is your first time ever going to a WESOS meeting, select the non-member ticket and use promo code FIRSTTIMEFREE to get your first ticket free.
Join us on Monday, March 16, at 6:00 pm, to hear from featured guest speaker, Lynn Miller. Meet other female entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, business owners, and professionals to network, learn, and collaborate.
What is that one thing that's driving you crazy right now? Is it a broken process? A problem everyone complains about, but nobody addresses? A better way that keeps getting dismissed?
What if you paid attention to just one of these things?
Lynn Miller, author of Ahead of Their Time: Pioneers Who Seized Tomorrow, Today, spent years talking to people who refused to look the other way. In this conversation, she shares real stories about what thirteen modern-day pioneers have in common, and why it has nothing to do with being exceptional, fearless, or perfectly positioned. They were just tired of pretending broken things were fine.
Come find out what they did instead, and what that might mean for the thing that's been eating at you.
Key Takeaways:
- That thing bothering you? Pay attention to it. You'll leave with a completely different way of looking at your own frustration-not as something to manage, but as something worth following.
- One question that changes the whole conversation. Lynn will share the shift every pioneer made. And it's simpler than you'd expect. You'll walk out asking it too.
- You don't have to wait until you're ready. Because you never will be. You'll leave knowing exactly what your first move looks like, and why now is the right time to make it.
- Note: Books will be for sale via credit card, and all books will be signed.
- One book will be raffled off, which includes a 20-minute consulting session.
