We all have that … thing.
You know the one. It’s been hanging out on your to-do list forever. Let’s do it together.
I harbor a deep and lasting dream of being able to pause time.
Can you just imagine all you could get done like that? I’d run my business, and I’d get done all the little things that have been in my backlog forever, and I’d write the hundreds of essays that cycle around in my head, and I’d read every book ever, and I’d spend long eons writing my own books.
I’d have all the time I wanted to work on the projects I deeply care about, and still take care of all the other stuff that goes into my daily life and business.
I know you have the same situation going on. You have all the stuff on your normal to-do list, and then that Thing that lives in the back of your mind, constantly poking at you. Maybe you’ll get around to it. Maybe you’ll go on a retreat and knock it out. Maybe you’ll change your schedule … except, so far, it hasn’t happened yet.
The perils of success, etc, etc.
I am familiar.
But that Thing still needs to be done.
I mean, it’s not going to make or break your business, or your work in the world.
But it might just take your business to the next level. Or bring your messaging up to date so you feel amazing about people coming to your website. Or finally get that idea for an art series out of your head and into the world. Or clearly articulate the theoretical underpinnings of your work in preparation for your book, or podcast series, or FastCo articles.
And as we all know, if you want to get something big done, you set up a container with smart, generous people, and you do that shit together.
Consider this your official invitation :)
What’s the container?
A 1:1 kickoff call with me, then a mix of weekly Zoom meetings + 3 x weekly short, no stress online check-ins, with ongoing creating support, unfolding guidance, and general cheerleading from me.
No more than 5 people in the group, including me.
We'd meet on Zoom once a week at a time that makes sense for everyone. I'll give us all a prompt to explore something with our project, and we'll do that for about 10 mins.
Then we'll share what we have. Sounds simple. Can confirm, is transformative.
In the in-between times, we'll do short check-ins via an online platform on M/W/F -- Monday we set our intentions for the week, Weds we talk about how that's going, Friday we talk about how it went.
Super relaxed. Nothing homework-y. Just a rhythm to return to, and the support of other people doing the work.
And I'm here both as colleague and guide.
I've done a whole lot of creating over the years, and helped a whole lot of people get their ideas from the metaphysical realm into the material realm. Or, in other words, out of their heads and into the world.
I'm really good at it. The last one of these I ran, we had someone complete a comprehensive model that encapsulated their decades of work, someone else went from zero to halfway done with their book AND got invited to pitch to agents, another person started her long-awaited memoir, and yet another person started their first book about their life’s work.
I also really like it. And I especially love doing it with good people doing important work in the world. (Like you.)
Plus, I'll be working on my own project – the final edit of my memoir Batshit, as I start the process of pitching it to agents!
So I'm in this right alongside you.
Logistics:
We start off doing a call, just you and me, to talk through your project and see how I can support you in our time together.
Our group calls run from July 7 - September 29. Calls run 60-90 mins, depending on how we go.
The platform will be open from June 23 - October 3rd, so you can get oriented before the first call, and still get group support after the last one.
$1200 for the quarter. We can absolutely break that into payments as needed.
What say you?
I really would love to have you – and I mean you, specifically.
I don’t market this group. I only do personal outreach or, at a stretch, friend of a friend outreach with it, because I don’t want to do my greatest and most important work with some randoms. That’s what my other writing group is for.
I want to do this work with the people I admire, people I know are doing great work in the world, people who I know want to be in a group that becomes more than the sum of its parts.
That’s you.
So here’s me, extending the invite. I’d love to have you. Thoughts?
