Build What Actually Moves the Needle

How do we obtain sustainable growth? It's definitely not from trying to do it all. 

As we quote David Allen in one of our longer Time Management courses, "You can do anything, but not everything."  This month, let's be intentional in our choices.

But first, a few updates:

• Did you miss our founder's May 11 LinkedIn Live session with Black Woman Owned on Digital Privacy? Watch it now.
• Our guest speaker/instructor series has officially restarted!
  • On May 26, we partnered with Ford Business Solutions to present "See It to Fix It: Map Your Sales Process with Canva." 
  • So far, we know we will be honored to work with:
    • Tina Hoang
    • Erin Eben
    • Michael Hales

    • Anu Prakash

  With additional subject matter experts to be welcomed into our community in the upcoming weeks. Keep an eye out for latest guest speakers!

• We kicked off June with a preview of our Memphis Microsoft Community Day session on M365 Planner.  If you reply to this email, we'll send you a link.  
• Summer Music Festival season is here.  Anyone have a pair of spare tickets to Bonnaroo?
• If you're staying closer to home this summer, then you may want to join the World Family Experience on August 29 at 7PM ET.  This paid one night experience will bring together music, poetry, dance, and joy to create an uplifting community experience.

Final Thought

Avoid the Trap of Staying Busy

Before you move into next week, pause for a moment and ask yourself these questions:

• What did I do recently that directly moved my goals forward?
• What am I tracking to measure progress?
• What am I repeating that isn't producing results?
• Where am I investing time without a clear return?

If those questions made you rethink how you're spending your time, you're already on the right track.  Here are a few quick tips you can implement immediately.
