Until it doesn't. Okay. Morning everyone. Welcome to Start yout Day with your coach. I am Sean Watner, certified high performance coach. And today we're talking about how groups of like minded folks make it happen. Now imagine working alone in your home office, not sure what to do next. You know, the things that you were working at in your business say we're not working in the market anymore and you don't know what to do. So you call up your group of peers and say, hey, this isn't working. What's working for you? You say, hey, like what can we do to maybe change things up to get the results that we, we want in our marketing or you can replace that with code or medicine or any profession, carpentry, any trades, any type of professional or group organizations. Because you know, when mastering skills and being professional and keeping on top of it, it really is all about working with folks, right? That's why throughout history we've had guilds, we've had trade organizations, we've had professional groups, we have school and education. You know, all these things are there to help you build skills, but also build a sense of community and you know, develop a sense of pride in the work that we do. So in order to engage effectively and utilize expert groups, we need to get over the belief that we can go it alone. And we need to know that it's okay to connect, it's okay to share with people in our industries or peers. Especially when we're small businesses or we're independent contributors, you know, doing code. So bring up both of those because you know, it's always amazes me. So last week I had to re go through my certification week. So you know, hanging out with the best coaches in the world with the best process, getting all the updates, getting all new insights, getting back into the craft of coaching, it usually leaves me really fired up, it usually leaves me really inspired. It usually helps me connect with how it's not just me in my business trying to help people, but there's a group of us doing good out there in the world doing good work. And so that was the whole idea for this video is how can we replicate that? You know, same thing with coding. Like you go to meetup groups, you go to professional groups or hopefully talking with other programmers or other engineers or other. You know, there's so many different industries where this model works, but we have to engage, right? And that's kind of the end of it. So you know, when we work together, we advance our learnings and our skills quicker, right? So we need to find a group of peers to talk shop with to, you know, make sure that we're constantly getting our edge and leading in our organizations, in what we do, in our work, so that we can build the lives that we want. So, again, you know, groups of like minded folks make it happen. And if you are struggling with trying to figure out your professional edge to get that, you know, you don't have the support to talk something through. You don't have a process for improvement. You know, it was go to shopalker.com coaching to get qualify for a free strategy session. I talk about that all the time. So you can just go there to learn more if you're looking to get to that next level. But just wanted to do this quick video for you, folks, and I will talk to you tomorrow at the same time. Take care.
