Simply, Thank You

Share the goods.

Wow. Thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the love and support we felt firsthand at our 834 Summer S’moirée. You came, you partied, you drank sangria.
In the past year, 834 has grown more than we could ever have anticipated and it is because of all of YOU. The Grand Rapids business community embraced us and provided the foundation to flourish over the past nine years, growing from a one-person firm to an eight-person team — approximately 300 percent in the last two years alone (someone else did the math). We have great clients, an amazing team and lots of fun. It’s truly unbelievable.
We are humbled beyond words for the love we felt as you toasted s’mores and enjoyed fare in our new(ish) space.
Our door is always open to you — our friends, our partners and our family. Thank you for accepting our quirkiness, brashness and slightly-off sense of humor.
Simply, thank you.
#Team834

Something on Your Mind?

"I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself" - Leslie F*ucking Knope 

You are the hero in your own story. Be like Leslie and believe it. 

Come to the Big Deal Energy Workshop, @bodespeaks will show you how.

It's personal branding with a shot of tequila. Register in bio.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: We took a walk to one of the houses @bodespeaks lived in Creston. There were 3 total. We also got a history lesson of @crestongr along the way. Of course we had to take Joey too.
This is why we do what we do. Most women business owners are left to navigate business ownership alone, juggling hiring, cash flow, and strategy while trying to keep the lights on. It’s overwhelming and it’s lonely.

The Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship is designed to change that. It’s an intentionally small cohort because real support doesn’t happen in a crowded room. Participants will receive the support they’ve been missing, and the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to scale - all guided by people who have built and grown businesses themselves.

If you’re a second-stage business owner ready to grow, this program is for you. Applications close on September 15. 

Apply at the link in bio.
Perimenopause results in a brutal shift in energy, productivity, motivation, and mental clarity. We are leading companies, people, and navigating and holding up the world while the general public gets the ‘ick’ at the mention of our bodies, physicians hand out antidepressants as a solution, and there is little to no education or awareness on the subject.

Combine the two and you get our next Uncomfortable Conversation: The Pause, presented in partnership with the SBAM Women’s Business Council.

Let's get uncomfortable together. Register for the conversation. Link in bio.
The Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship supports Michigan's established women business owners with the resources, insight, and connections it takes to break through growth barriers and scale with confidence. Through the next 9 months the walls will come down, challenges become shared-problem solving, and wins become everyone's celebration. 

Ready for what is next? Applications are due by September 15th. Link in bio.
