Focus on Community

One of 8THIRTYFOUR’s strongest assets is our vast network of clients, partners, community leaders, friends, family…the list goes on. We know this will be our saving grace in the coming months as we adjust to our new norm and we grieve what our community has lost.

It’s easy to focus on the negative right now with staggering unemployment numbers, people getting sick and dying, healthcare workers putting it all on the line to protect us and stories of businesses going under. We all know someone that has been affected by this pandemic. It’s disheartening, to say the least, and we are all feeling pretty damn helpless.

We will persevere.

We don’t have the answers, but we want to encourage you to focus on community. Our community will come out of this stronger. Stories are already emerging of neighbors helping neighbors and companies stepping up to supply much-needed PPE. We are stronger than this, and we will get through this.

Focus on the positive, and take these words of encouragement, humor and inspiration to heart. Thank you to all the community voices who pitched in and contributed. We love you and we will continue to support you in any way we can.

So we can continue to share uplifting stories, we encourage you to tag 8THIRTYFOUR in any social media posts and also use the hashtag #834CommunityCares.

Turnover is one of the most expensive challenges business owners are facing right now, and the skills crisis isn`t making it easier.

Kim was recently featured in fastcompany talking about exactly that. It`s part of why we built the Skills Survival School, an integrated approach to a problem that demands one.

You learn the most from failure, but you have to make the decision first.

Just remember: there`s power in the uncomfortable.

It`s 2.5 hours where you`ll get to forget what the world has told you and really be you.

You’ll walk away with a plan, confidence and group of people cheering you on.

Plus, you know it`s going to be fun. June 23 - link in bio.

As we near the end of another incredible year with the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship, we`re so grateful to look back at the meaningful connections and hard work each and every business owner put into it.

This really is the program for what comes after... the growth, the hiring, the hardship, and creating a space where alone doesn`t feel so alone.

Our most recent blog reflects on the impact the program has made, and what comes next. Link in bio.

(Oh, and applications are open for the next cohort. Apply now)

Everyone knows the skills gap exists. Not enough people are asking what it`s actually costing us.

Kim is partnering with mibiznetwork for a new series focused on the Hard Cost of Soft Skills - what skills are missing, what businesses are doing because of it, and most importantly... the fix.

You can watch the first episode intro at the link in bio.

This is your Monday reminder that nobody has it all figured out at first.

Owning what makes you weird and unique takes time... and work.

You can start that work at a Big Deal Energy workshop. First one is on June 23. Link in bio.
