How to Beat the Winter Blues with JV Partnerships
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere (especially if you’re further North), you may be feeling the winter blues.?
The holiday season is a distant memory….
Your new year’s resolutions have already been broken….
The nights are long….
The weather is cold…. Summer feels like a long way away….
You feel like hibernating.
For many, winter can be an emotionally challenging time, but if you’re an entrepreneur, it can feel particularly isolating.?
You are making tough decisions, facing uncertainty, and shouldering the weight of your ventures alone. Friends and family may not fully understand your daily struggles and sacrifices, making it difficult to find either empathy or understanding.?
This is where Joint Venture partners can really help you.?
?They do more than just promote your business.?
They are your support network.?
Somebody to talk to. Their businesses will usually complement yours, so they understand what you’re going through and who can act as a sounding board.?
You can discuss new marketing ventures with them and get their feedback.??
You can hang out for a virtual (or real) coffee and bounce ideas off each other.
Heck, you can even go on vacation together. A bunch of business owners that I partner with have just gone on a cruise!???
So if you’re feeling the urge to hibernate, here’s something that you can do right now to beat the winter blues.?
I’m going to be talking about how you can become the JV partner that everybody wants to promote.?
I’ll be sharing….?

Rahti Gorfien - What Thirty Years of Acting Taught Me About JV Partnerships
Rahti Gorfien is a certified life coach and ADHD coach, and our special guest on this week's Power of Two podcast.?
For over 20 years, she has been helping creative professionals, many of whom are neurodivergent, focus, follow through and make money doing what they love.?
But her original career was in a very different space.?
At just 4 years of age, Rahti knew she wanted to be a performer. And after graduating NYUs Acting Program in 1978, she went on to pursue a career in Theater for thirty years, during which she was also professional standup comic, originated many roles off-off Broadway, and wrote several plays, one of which was included in Backstage's listing of the best plays of 2004.? ??
Then in the mid 1990s, she began forming and facilitating peer support groups for her own professional accountability as a theatre artist. These groups were the gateway to her becoming a trained and certified professional coach.?
She now facilitates the very same peer support groups for her coaching clients, helping them to become accountable and follow through on their goals. ?
As an artist, Rahti discovered that acting is a collaborating endeavour. You can’t produce a play alone. ?
But the same principle applies to business. ?
To quote Rahti, “Working in isolation doesn’t work. You need to get out and meet people!”
In this podcast, Rahti looks back at her career in acting and reflects on how it has influenced the way she partners with others:

1 年Absolutely, Danny Bermant. Winter can indeed feel isolating for entrepreneurs. Leveraging Joint Venture partnerships can be a game-changer, offering support and shared expertise during these tough months. It's a strategic move that can bring warmth to the cold, long nights of business challenges.
