The question I'm answering today is are you part of a group or community?
Now, the group that I'm part of is a business owners meetup group. So what happens at this group is that once a month, or sometimes once a fortnight, business owners get together, have a cup of coffee at a cafe and discuss the many aspects of owning a business. So whether it's sharing tools, sharing useful websites with each other, or even encouraging another business that might be going through a hard time, that other people also understand what they're going through. There's also an opportunity to celebrate some of the successes people have had in business and also to network and introduce services and products to each other in businesses. It's a fantastic group to be part of. And that's because I've always been in business, and I benefit a lot being in this business meetup group.
