I'm closing my membership next month ⛵️

I decided to close my marketing membership Growthtrackers.

I’m going spare you the full story on that because it’s not relevant to this issue.

The “too long didn’t read” is that Growthtrackers was successful for me and its over 55 members for nearly two years. It’s now time for me to take a break and pursue other ventures.

So, I’ve been compiling a list of recommended alternatives and today, I’m sharing that with you.

We’re looking at marketing, sales, operations and general hang out spots where entrepreneurs are gathering.

As small business owners, we simply can’t hire experts to do everything for us.

The next best thing is becoming part of a group moving in the same direction.

When you join a program or community, you gain:
⛵️ People who know more than you about a topic
⛵️ People who can make informed recommendations on your unique situation
⛵️ People who can refer, collaborate and promote your work
⛵️ People who will cheer you on (you think you don’t need this, but trust me, you need this)

I use the sailboat emoji intentionally here. We’re all just out there on our little boats. Charting our own courses and sending radio signals to each other as the conditions change.

As Grandma Roman would say on our boat-centric family vacations—even on the day my uncles woke up to find one of the boats sank—“Isn’t it nice we’re all together?!”

Below you’ll find my top recs for places to dock your boat this summer: communities, memberships and programs you should consider joining.
