November 4: Petra Returns: Social Capital, Dreaming Big, and Doing the Work

The model Petra has shared with the Conversation states that the skills necessary to start and keep a business running are the very same skills that each of us have in our own personal stories. We have skills that we use to keep our households running that can be directly transferred to building a sustainable business once combined with social capital.

Petra will return November 4, as we begin defining big dreams among the group and making connections with others in the room, using our own social capitol to value the exchange of services, time, and property above the exchange of money. We are asking members to dream big.

What is the business you have thought about building? What is a vision you would like to make real? Think of the services and tools necessary to complete this vision. Create a list of what you imagine is needed. What skills do you have that someone else might use for their big dream?

Bring your ideas and expertise to the meeting this Sunday.

ALL AGES ARE WELCOME!
