WGM #38 Recording + WGM EOY Survey Last Call

Such an amazing call yesterday on Retention Tips from AG1.

Wanted to share recording early so people have a chance to watch before EOY.

Also, want to remind everyone again to please fill out the WGM EOY Survey ideally before Christmas.

We're gonna create a really special report off the data that you won't want to miss.

If you fill it out, you get it. If you don't sadly, you won't!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

WGM #37 RECAP + ROSE/BUD/THORN: @channel

• If you missed the latest WGM #38 Recap here it is!
• After speaking with <@U09F7UFNTD1> last week, we realized how important reflection can be and that there could be value in monthly threads knowing what other WGMers are proud of, challenged by and excited about. I've always loved doing Rose, Bud Thorn with friends so wanted to try it here every month or so and see how it goes 🙂
If you're down, share in this thread:

1. Rose - What's something you're proud of from the past month?
2. Bud - What something you're looking forward to or seeing potential with?
3. Thorn - What's something that hasn't worked or is a challenge for you I've shared mine below, looking forward to hearing your reflections! (feel free to copy my answer as a template)

Building a wellness business can feel isolating sometimes. I’ve noticed that when I share my intention for the week, I’m much more likely to follow through and I always feel inspired hearing what others are focusing on too.

My intention is to organize my calendar to block off deep work time and dedicate specific days (or parts of days) to calls so I’m not constantly context switching and can make meaningful progress on bigger projects.

What’s yours?

Hey Team! WGM #35 Recap Dropped last week. As I say in the note, gonna be out on paternity leave soon (due date was yesterday so any day now!). Please keep supporting each other and keeping the ethos of give first while I'm "gone". :)

@channel anyone getting messages from this person, i apologize as they are NOT in WGM.

As a reminder, cold emails or DMs to the entire group are not in the spirit of WGM and will not be tolerated at all.

If you want to connect with someone try and do it organically or speak to me about an intro.

This group means everything to me and I will be vigilant to make sure it doesn’t become a place where you get spammed :)

Many thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Hey @channel! New WGM De-Brief newsletter just dropped!! Here is the link to check it out.

It looks like Google has decided to mark me as SPAM for some reason. Working to resolve it but please check your SPAM if you didn't get it in your email!!

NEXT WEEK's WGM CALL HYPE EMAIL:

Hey Team,

Get excited for a very special 30th (!!) WGM call on Wednesday March 26th at 4pm ET for WGM members.

The topic this month is "AI Tools for Growth" and we're bringing in a special guest who usually charges $2500/hour to help leaders leverage AI (member Robbie Bent is a HUGE fan and told me people will get so much value I could charge extra $ for it).

Our guest wants to make the call super relevant to you so he created an AI agent phone number for you to call and answer a few quick questions about your growth challenges or anything else AI related!

Call before the call and provide your input

And register here if you haven't already :)

As always, by coming to next week's call you will:

• Meet Great People: Network, share ideas, and build valuable relationships with amazing leaders in the wellness space
• AI Tools for Growth Chat: AI Implementation Expert Christian Ulstrup will share his best tips for leveraging AI for growth.
• Member “Hot Seat”: Have a space to share your biggest growth challenge or learning with your peers.
• Oprah Style Giveaway: You definitely won't get a car, but by coming you'll be gifted a unique wellness product. Hint: 🏃
See you next Wednesday!

Thanks,
Brian
