Rituals that keep you on track and thriving, how to properly make intros + more
Being a multihyphenate (someone with multiple income streams) often means you’re alone - you’re the only one who has all the puzzle pieces to put the whole picture together.
Being a multihyphenate (someone with multiple income streams) often means you’re alone - you’re the only one who has all the puzzle pieces to put the whole picture together.
This also means you don’t have the rituals, structure, and routine that come naturally when working a traditional 9-5. The weekly all-hands, the lunchtime catch-ups, or Wednesday morning coffee dates may not be there to act as cornerstones of your week.
But rituals to mark milestones and process the ride - the highest of highs and the lowest of lows - are very much needed. A space to feel like you’re part of a team and you’re not alone, a place to share both your to-do list and goals, and to be kept accountable to these goals, is mission critical.
We have two weekly cornerstone events in the BCM community that solve for this.
Monday Asyncs set the tone for the week; you’re welcome to pop in anytime to share your plans and goals, and be supported by your peers, as well as our very own Growth and Accountability Coach.
And during Friday Feelings, members have a chance to process and digest the week together. It often feels like journaling, but with a group of people you respect and admire; people who share your goals, and are on the same path as you.
As always with BCM, everything is entirely take-what-serves-you-and-leave-the-rest. No events are required attendance. We know you’re ultra-busy; we’re here to make things easier, not give you another thing to feel guilty about ❤️
We’re currently accepting applications for new members - spots are limited, apply by June 30.

DON’T MISS OUT
My bookmarks from the week - good reads, listens, and general inspo from all around.
📚 Citing specifics when selling courses is the key to selling more courses - I love the simplicity of this tip.
🏃🏽 Focus on pace, people, prestige, profit, and learning; this take on career (and life) from a philosophical and deeply pragmatic place is both refreshing and thought-provoking.
💸 Listen up freelancers and consultants: divide projects into phases and invoice at each phase.
😇 Never say “no,” but rarely say “yes.” - instead of saying no to the things that are a distraction, price them in a way that they fund the things you really want to do.
🫱🏼🫲🏾 Asking for intros is a simple but important art, be sure to make it easy for the person making the intro.

MUST FOLLOWS
Multihyphenates I absolutely love following.
🤗 Tania Bhattacharyya - I love Tania’s take on building a personal voice and brand specific to social impact leaders; even if that’s not you, her unique perspective adds a breath of fresh air to what’s typical on LinkedIn.
✍🏽 Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi - I absolutely love her Side Hustle Saturday newsletters; they’re a fast yet meaty read, and I always walk away having learned something new and important. A great follow on X as well. She’s also a total multihyphenate inspiration.
🐷 Biggy @ Big Cash Money - Cheeky to sneak in here, I know. This is where I share musings that don’t make it into the newsletter, plus last-minute events I’m excited about but that take place before the weekly newsletter send.
