Dualboot Partners’ Post

Do you have the support and community you need for the journey you are on? The past year has taught me the true power of conscious, cultivated and intentional community spaces and the immense impact it creates. I've always loved the saying "it takes a village to raise a child" and I know the argument has been made that starting a business is like having a baby or raising a child. So it begs the question, do you have a village to help you grow your business? Both in my work as a founder and my work within men's work, this past year has shown me another, much deeper level of support that exists within the right communities. The "right" community being the important part. Because there is plenty of distractions out there. Not an echo chamber, not a bunch of folks nodding their heads and agreeing with everything you say. Find your people that are in it with you, know what it's like to stand in the fire, be held accountable and will push one another to dig deeper and keep going. Traverse City is stepping up in big ways and there is an amazing, quickly growing core group of humans dedicated to disrupting traditional business happy hours and networking. Instead, opting to truly ask, what do I need? What does my community need? The growth of the Michigan Founders Fund TC Chapter is proof of that. Hats off to Broc Crandall, Chase Bonhag, Josh Hart AIS, ASLI, AU 💭 for leading the charge. All of it is built on the ethos of walking through the fire that is the journey of building a business and a desire look back and extend a real helping hand to those who are starting to walk their own path. Thanks for the sweet video nick beadleston!

"What would you say you do here?" 🧐 Let us reintroduce ourselves: We're Good Neighbor Fund 👋 We're on a mission to encourage new and diverse founders to take that initial leap into starting a business. Our goal is to make entrepreneurship more accessible, less formal, and to help you navigate the pitfalls. Every quarter, we grant $1,000 micro-grants to new founders. It's not just about seed money, it's about belief capital. We believe in your ability to achieve your dreams. 💸 But what's seed money without a supportive network? We serve as the connecting tissue to larger entrepreneurial ecosystems within our chapter cities. 🕸️ We're a community-led organization, comprised of individuals from our communities who are passionate about entrepreneurship and dedicated to helping their cities thrive. If you've ever had a business idea but were unsure where to start, now's the time to take action. Apply today. There's no better time than now. 💜

In 2022, we engraved our beliefs in statements, and the first speaks volumes: 1️⃣ "We believe in 'community,' a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals." Let's foster a spirit of togetherness and shared vision as we navigate the entrepreneurial journey. 🚀💬 #CommunityBuilding #SharedVision #StartupIdentity

Strength lies in unity, progress is born from collaboration. Together, we can build not just a community, but a thriving business and a thriving nation. Embrace the power of the village and let us pave the way to a brighter future. #businessstartup #businesssuccess #businessplanning #businessgrowthcoach #businessstartupcoach #startupcoach #entrepreneurmindset #mckinnonscg

Why I "1MC." 1MC is the nation's entrepreneurial community supported by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. 1MC Susquehanna Valley was founded in 2017 and continues to grow our speaker list and audience regulars. So why do I "1MC?" Here are a few reasons. 1. Big & Small. You're never too big or too small to join 1MC. Egos are checked at the door, and we're all here as entrepreneurial ecosystem builders. That's a good thing. 2. Give & Gain. Some days you give; advice, time, or an ear. Other days you gain; new friends, resources, or personal inspiration. That's a big thing. 3. Diversity & Perspectives. We can stay behind our business's doors and operate as usual or go beyond our walls and those we currently serve to expand our vision. That's a bold thing. That's why I "1MC." How about you? Photo shout out to Steven Stumbris
