This summer, I felt isolated in my way of acting . I thought that by being in a group, we would be able to help each other, share resources and exchange contacts so that we could progress more quickly and intelligently. However, I wanted to join a group of entrepreneurs with a positive impact. So, I did some research to see what already existed.
As a result, I found very large groups, with many members and very general themes or much smaller groups but nothing concerning entrepreneurship with a positive impact. So, I decided to create my group !
I targeted people from my network. It was easier because I already knew them and I knew there was a good feeling. I wanted to bring together different skills and activities. I wrote to about ten people proposing this idea. 5 people responded to this initiative, including you!
Organizationally, it's pretty simple. We have a WhatsApp canada whatsapp group where we communicate daily to get opinions or feedback on parts of our activities . And once a month, we talk on video for about an hour . We discuss topics that are important to us and we brainstorm together on the issues of a member of the group. Right now, we're thinking about a way to create something together.
I like this simplicity that leaves us room for creativity . I don't have much perspective yet but it's pretty crazy what's happening! For example, we share our good news and we maximize energy. As a result, we are more motivated!
This group really meets my need for an outside perspective and mutual support. It feels good. And I encourage everyone to join an entrepreneur group or create their own like I did!
I can only agree with you. It feels good to feel supported. Attention, serious question: how does a coach for positive impact entrepreneurs integrate eco-responsibility into his activity?
I am convinced that things start with us and that we must embody the change we want to see . For my part, I wondered for example if my website could have a less negative impact. I chose to change host and opt for Infomaniak.
For networking, I used to use a lot of paper business cards. Today, I have adopted the virtual business card where it is a click away to send my contact information by SMS or email.
But there are still areas for improvement . For example, I use Zoom a lot for my remote coaching sessions. I know it has a significant impact. But I haven't found a tool that is as efficient and environmentally friendly. So I do the best I can with the means at my disposal .
