Inaugural Town Hall Meeting – November 9, 2023 – 6:30pm ET
Amplify Your Impact
Introducing Actalyst—the entrepreneurial community built for remote professionals who aren’t tied down by geographical limitations. We’re location-independent entrepreneurs and small business owners who understand the unique challenges—and freedoms—of a high-performing mobile work-life. But what makes us truly special is that our ethos is based on action and forward movement.
We are driven by the belief that actions speak louder than words, and real change doesn’t occur without action and service. Actalyst is a catalyst for professional transformation. Join us and commit to providing four hours each month to offer your expertise or superpowers to other members (no monetary investment required).
We also meet twice monthly in virtual Actalyst Town Hall meetings where we celebrate wins, dissect lessons learned, and discuss how our mutual monthly impact hours have positively impacted each other’s businesses and professional journeys.
In addition to the monthly Impact Hours and monthly Actalyst Town Hall meetings, we have many other ways to participate if you’d like to: The ABC (Actalyst Book Club, AMAs (Ask Me Anything), industry/role specific discussions, pitching/presentation workshops, and more!
Application Process
Ready to act? Join Actalyst and, together, let’s redefine what professional networking can accomplish. Gaining a seat at this modern-day round table isn’t automatic, however; our application process is as discerning as a job interview. Why? Because we’re not just another networking group; we’re a meticulously curated community committed to mutual growth through service.
To join our community, you’ll need to submit your resume or CV, just as you would for a high-caliber job opportunity, in addition to answering the application questions below. A virtual meet-up follows, allowing us to ensure that your skills, values, and aspirations align with our community’s objectives.
We select members based on merit, and the group’s evolving needs. So, if your areas of expertise or superpowers already have a strong representation in the group, we may invite you to join at a later stage when the community has a greater need for your expertise.
FAQs
Q. How much does it cost to join?
A. Nothing! Our community is based on giving and collaboration, so your membership “fee” is donating four hours each month of your time to assist fellow members in your area(s) of expertise.
Q. How can I use my monthly membership hours?
A. Use your hours to attend our twice/month meetings and to support fellow members. Members donate a couple of hours each month to assisting other members when needs arise that they are uniquely qualified to help meet. That can look like a one-hour coaching session, or a two-hour support block to conduct an SEO audit of someone’s website, or several hours devoted to graphic design for someone’s upcoming event. We love seeing our members get creative in the ways they help each other out!
Q. What are the requirements to join?
A. Be a business owner/entrepreneur (side endeavors count), be location-independent (able to work from anywhere), attend at least one meeting per month, and be willing and able to devote at least four hours each month to bettering this community. We ask that you commit to at least six months with the community so that we can build a supportive and engaging place where members are able to become known and trusted.
Q. What happens if I can’t attend both meetings or can’t complete all four hours in a particular month?
A. We totally understand that life happens, and on occasion, you might not be able to fulfill all requirements. We ask that you do your very best every month to participate in our community by attending the meetings (at least one per month) and complete the hours. Not meeting the quota once in a while is not grounds for dismissal from the community, but if a member is unable to provide their impact hours repeatedly, they may become ineligible to receive impact work hours from other members.
Q. What days/times are your Actalyst Town Hall meetings?
A. The second Thursdays of every months from 6:30-7:30pm ET/3:30-4:30pm PT, and the third Wednesday of every month from 1-2pm ET/10-11am PT. We highly encourage you to prioritize attending at least one of the two meetings on a monthly basis (preferably the Thursday meeting if you can), and would love to see you at both if you’re available!
Q. Who would benefit the most from this community?
A. Individuals who have a growth mindset and are excited about the idea of a likeminded community that works together to amplify our impact. It’s really important to all of us that new members fit our culture of giving above receiving (although you’ll receive plenty of free expertise too!), and that your attitude and intentionality coming into our space each time is one of helpfulness, gratitude, and a desire to elevate together.
Q. I have additional questions. How can I get in touch?
A. Absolutely! Please feel free to email us anytime.
