In 2019, I founded the Emerald Office with a simple vision: to build a program and a place for mission-driven entrepreneurs and visionaries to overcome their chaos. A place to coach my clients away from the distractions of Facebook, free from the “ticker-tape” of neverending to-dos that rob entrepreneurs of their agency, and rooted in empowering mission-driven entrepreneurs to be the business owner they wanted to be and build the empire they were out to create. I decided early on that I wanted this to be a place to learn AND and container to coach- not just a course library or coaching program, but the best of both. Today, I am happy to say I consider that vision a reality. Build & Become has members across many states, industries, and backgrounds all united in their pursuit of business and purpose. Each member arrives at the same table but is fed to meet their own unique needs. The Build & Become Membership program is both turnkey and tailor-made and here are the five ways you can use it.
1) Build & Become is a GREENHOUSE
A greenhouse is a place to grow, an environment specifically designed for your growth. Here in Build & Become what we are growing is YOU. Your business will never succeed if you don’t. This particular greenhouse is the container for you to give your goals the time and space (as well as the metaphorical sunlight, water, and nutrients) they need to grow and flourish. In the greenhouse, we focus your energy (sunlight) on your goals and what you are building, we maintain the beliefs and mindset (moisture) necessary to prevent your business from drying up, and we feed your business with the leads and mechanisms (nutrients) it needs to grow.
2) Build & Become is a Metronome
A metronome keeps time for a musician, helping them to stay in the rhythm of the piece they are playing, keeping them in time. Build & Become Membership sets a rhythm for our days, weeks, and months keeping you moving forward at a sustainable pace. The deliberately designed rhythm of membership is created to lay out the steps you need to take in your business for building without burnout. The metronome keeps us on a steady path and gives the uncertainty of entrepreneurship a consistent throughline. As we work together, we craft a tailor-made rhythm for you that builds from your natural inclinations and needs.
3) Build & Become is a Weightlifting Gym
In Build & Become, we have intentionally chosen themes of “focuses” for each month. These themes are intended to strengthen each of the key areas of your business (and your life) so that you become a strong, consistent business owner. The Build & Become “gym” helps you to build the technical form, muscle strength, and discipline needed to create a business with strong foundations, strong systems, and a strong leader at its helm. Build & Become targets key areas and grows consistency and resilience.
4) Build & Become is a War Room
When the going gets tough, the intelligent regroup. You and I partner in the war room of Build & Become to strategize your next move (or your first one). We create plans, lay out how your time can be best used, troubleshoot your latest roadblock, or scheme on upcoming moves you want to make in business. The War Room function of Build & Become is where we lay out the path for you to walk and do all the background work so that your day-to-day execution is guided by true forethought and intentional design.
5) Build & Become is a Safe House
Just as the greenhouse function of Build & Become keeps the right things in, the safe house function keeps the bad things out. Build & Become membership protects you from the self-doubt, loneliness, and uncertainty of entrepreneurship and helps you to build mental strategies, a positive mindset, and emotional resilience. You never have to do it alone. When you need a second set of eyes on a problem, a hand to lift you up, or a shoulder to slouch against for a momentary respite, you have me and a community of like-minded visionaries. Come to Build & Become when you need to recharge, realign, reframe, or refocus.
In truth, my current members each have experienced some of each of these functions, but their unique needs dictate that we custom blend a ratio of these elements that feeds and challenges each entrepreneur. If you are a mission-driven entrepreneur or visionary (or you would like to be) who is seeking any of these, I invite you to join us.
