I am really excited about the International Association of Solopreneurs. The IAS has been operating since September of 2008, on Monday, July 18, 2011 the IAS grew up and became the International Association of YOU! Why you ask?
Our members told us they wanted to have a more engaging community, which was not possible on our old site. In addition, we have watched many small business owners work to build a platform for their VOICE to attract their peeps.  Not always successfully.  We decided to build a community that encouraged businesses to use the platform that feels safe for them and give them the resources, tools and coaching around developing their voice to impact their audience.  We are not stopping there.  We are taking it to another level by helping these business owners by promoting their VOICE and giving them the blueprints to follow so they can leverage that voice and promotion.
It was important to me to create a place where small business owners can benefit from collaboration and community.  My passion, why I do what I do, is all about helping others to thrive.
You can read about my WHY and how I stay engaged as well as many others in this month’s issue of Solopreneur Solutions for Life and Business.

This is just one example of how our members can be published. If the stories in this issue inspire you, you might be interested in expressing your WHY in our upcoming anthology.
I hope you enjoy the magazine and that you will check out the new site at https://www.associationofyou.org Let me know what you think.
