Today we celebrate 2 years having Laura as part of our Power Group Team at Power Wealth and Power Connects!

Many of you know Laura as "The Queen," as we so proudly refer to her within Power Connects. She supports and manages all our business owner members with a level of grace and care that is unmatched. Imagine managing 50 business owners weekly (we are not easy to wrangle!).

I know her as my business partner, confidante, and true friend. She has been on a wild ride with me the last 2 years, and I could not imagine my life or the businesses without her. Grateful every day, and we're just getting started!

Here's to TWO YEARS! ✌️💕

Referrals don't have to be something you wait around and hope will happen.

You can bake them into your business.

A strong referral system can be pretty simple.

> Make sure your clients and network know what a great referral looks like for you.

> Build asking for introductions into your client experience.

> Stay connected with past clients and referral partners.

> And when someone sends business your way, make sure they know you appreciate it.

Yes, a great reputation will generate referrals naturally.

BUT putting a little intention behind it can turn referrals into a much more consistent source of business.

So, your Monday question: What's your referral system? Do you have one yet?

If not, this might be a good week to build one.

Overheard at a Chapter Meeting:

"I didn't hire the wrong person. I hired the right person for a job I never properly defined."

He'd been drowning, so he hired fast. Warm body, decent résumé, start Monday. Six months later, they were both frustrated and neither could say exactly what the role was supposed to be.

The chapter's advice?

Before you post the job, write down what "great" looks like in 90 days and if you can't describe it, you're not ready to hire for it. You're just ready to share chaos.

What's your best (or hardest-earned) hiring lesson? Share it below.

One of the weird things about owning a business is how many people you can talk to in a day without talking to anyone who... gets it.

Your employees can't usually be the people you vent to. Your clients definitely can't be.

And your family may love you dearly while having absolutely no interest in discussing your pricing strategy over dinner. 😅

Sometimes you need other business owners who are seeing what you're seeing, been where you've been and respect the hustle too.

That's a big part of what happens at Power Connects.

Sure, referrals happen. Business gets passed. Introductions get made.

But you also build relationships with people who understand what it's like to be the one making the decisions.

Something we don't hear a lot from business owners is: 'I don't know'.

We're the boss, after all! We *think* we're supposed to have the answer.

But some of the best decisions start with admitting that you don't know how to solve something.

You're not sure what the next move is. You don't know enough about something yet.

Because then you can ask someone who *does*.

Being the CEO means knowing when to stop guessing and start asking better questions, not immediately knowing everything.

A Power Connects chapter meeting is the perfect place to say 'I don't know' because, chances are, someone around the table does.

Overheard at a Chapter Meeting:

"By 3 pm I couldn't decide what to eat, let alone whether to sign a lease."

The table got it immediately. When you own the business, every decision routes through you - pricing, hiring, the office coffee brand, all of it. And the big decisions get the leftover brainpower.

One member shared her fix: she sorted decisions into three buckets.

Ones only she can make.
Ones her team can make with a quick check-in.
Ones her team should just make, full stop.

Most of what was landing on her desk belonged in bucket three.

Your best thinking is a limited resource. Spend it where only you can.

What decision are you still making that someone else could? Be honest.

We have a final score! 👀

We came to play and everyone came through. ⚾️

Together, Pitch For Purpose raised $10,000 for .woolwich!

To every player, sponsor, volunteer and person who cheered us on: thank you for showing what happens when this community gets on the same team. 😭

What a day!!

Some of the best opportunities in business will come from a conversation you didn't expect to have.

You can't manufacture every opportunity but you CAN put yourself in rooms where opportunities are more likely to happen.

Here's the plan:
1. Build the relationships.
2. Have the conversations.
3. Show up.

You never know which conversation will matter six months from now. DM us for info about a Power Connects chapter near you.

Overheard at a Chapter Meeting:

"I cut half my services last year. It was the scariest and most profitable thing I've ever done."

She'd built an everything-menu over the years. Every client request became a new offer. Every offer needed its own systems, marketing, and mental shelf space.

The chapter asked her one question: "Which two things do clients love most and pay best for?"

She knew instantly. Everyone always does.

Six months after trimming the menu: less chaos, better margins, easier marketing, and, plot twist, happier clients, because she got even better at what remained.

Growth isn't always addition. Sometimes it's subtraction with confidence.

What could you cut? Even hypothetically. Tell us below.
