[FIRST NAME GOES HERE] Your Built-In Promotion Tool: The WESOS Sisters Event Calendar
Published 3 months ago • 2 min read
Hi Reader Happy June!
Summer has a way of tempting us to slow down, loosen our schedules, and tell ourselves we’ll “pick things back up later.” But the truth is — momentum matters. The women who continue showing up, building relationships, learning, and staying visible through the summer are often the ones who step into fall with the strongest growth. You are not building your business for one season… you are building it for the long game. WESOS is here to help you keep that momentum flowing with support, accountability, fresh connections, and inspiration. Make a commitment to yourself this month to attend a few meetings, reconnect with your community, and maybe even schedule a one-on-one discovery call with one of our incredible Visionary Coaches. Sometimes one conversation can reignite your motivation and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Find your next meeting and put it on your calendar HERE
There’s also something powerful — and a little vulnerable — about watching your business finally get noticed. Your brand starts gaining traction, people begin recognizing your name, and opportunities you once dreamed about suddenly feel within reach.
But this month, our Platinum Sponsor, Jade Carpenter, is asking an important question every woman entrepreneur should consider: Is the brand you’re building actually protected?
Many business owners don’t realize they may be growing a brand they don’t legally own. Jade’s newest Ask Jade article and video dives into why trademarks matter, the common mistakes entrepreneurs make when they assume they’re protected, and why ownership is just as important as visibility. If you’ve invested your heart, time, creativity, and money into your business, this is one conversation you do not want to miss.
One of the many benefits of being a member of the WESOS Network (Women Entrepreneurs' Secrets of Success) is the ability to promote your events on the WESOS Sisters Calendar.
This public-facing calendar on the WESOS website allows members to share workshops, networking events, classes, launches, and special gatherings so the entire WESOS community — and the public — can discover and support them.
In this short video (2 minutes) , Jean LaVallie, founder of WESOS, walks you through how to submit your event so you can take full advantage of this powerful member benefit.
When women intentionally support each other’s businesses, incredible things happen. The Sisters Calendar is one more way we make collaboration over competition a reality inside the WESOS community.
