Helloo friends,

I've been thinking about my efforts to build Fora Club as a community. What would I say if I was my own client?

"You don’t need to reinvent the wheel." Go and collaborate with meaningful partners, and use your capacity and resources effectively.

Because, community building can be about curation, bringing together the best of what’s already out there for your members. So I'm listening to my own advice this once. By focusing on curation rather than creation (even though I still have so many new event ideas for 2024), my goal is to provide you with a variety of gatherings without cluttering your schedules.

Oh, and... Happy New Year! ?? May your year be filled with impactful gatherings and meaningful connections.

- Ece

?? What's on my agenda for 2024?

After years of meaningless New Year's resolutions, I've come to a more intentional approach to goal-setting. Here's a glimpse of what I'm aiming for in the coming year:

  • Life Milestones: Passing my driving exam and securing Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK are on my list.
  • Health: Committing to 120 days of gym sessions, hikes, or runs.
  • Creativity: Allocating at least 60 days to crafting and making.
  • Business Goals: Doubling my 2023 income, which means diving into more community and event operations, facilitating strategy workshops, and increasing my presence through speaking gigs and guest features.

?? And the events! Freelancer Hangouts, monthly workshops, Content Planning sessions, crafty meetups... the list goes on.

Yes, it’s a lot, but I'm fueled by my affirmation: "I prioritize long-term well-being over short-term comfort"

Your Turn! What's on your agenda?
