// FREE DOWNLOAD: Free workbook + guide to writing a values statement for your business. This is 17-pages of GOOD content, and includes some fun bonus content like my top 10 favorite ways that small businesses can do good, and 6 writing rules of thumb for effective business writing. Download here!

Today's episode is all about finding community -- something that has made a huge difference to me as I navigate the wild world of small business.

I provide 5 strategies for finding community -- 4 of which you can start on TODAY (and save one for when in-person community is safe and possible again).

The five strategies we discuss in this episode are:

1. Facebook groups

2. Social media (specifically Instagram)

3. In-person events (when it's safe!)

4. Friends of friends

5. Courses, memberships or other paid programs with an online community element
