Welcome! You're in!
Let's get straight to it.
I appreciate you choosing to trust me with your time. I know this page looks like a lot of text, but it's very simple.
Depending on the boxes you just ticked, you are about to get one of two things (or both).
If you chose Coworking Community Builder (The Daily):
Check your inbox right now. Day 1 of your 6-Day Community Builder's Engine email course is waiting for you.
Once the course finishes, you'll start receiving the daily email.
Who is it for? This is for the Permanent Person. It’s built specifically for independent space owners, community managers, and local creators who built a room and intend to stay in it. It is NOT for tactic-chasers looking for a quick social media hack.
What is it for? It gives you the daily mechanics of how to stop being a transactional desk landlord and start building a real, local community—so your space survives the 128 hours a week your members aren't in your building.
Here is the deal every weekday:
- A one-minute video: A raw thought from the trenches you can watch while the kettle boils.
- A tight micro-essay: A short bit of text breaking down the instruction for the day.
- Zero pitches. No corporate jargon.
It's designed so you can open it, watch it, read it, and get on with your work in about two minutes.
If you chose Community & Creator Notes (The Sunday long read):
I've been writing a weekly email since 2010. While it's evolved over that time, it's always been anchored in thinking out loud about community, creativity, and what it actually takes to be an independent economic agent—including the pain and the politics that go with that.
But before we get started...
To ensure you never miss an email, please follow these quick steps:
For Gmail Users:
- Open your Gmail app or website.
- Find an email from me (BJM@berniejmitchell.com).
- If it's under the "Promotions" tab, drag it to the "Primary" tab.
- A message will appear asking if you want to do this for future messages from BJM@berniejmitchell.com - Select "Yes."
For Outlook (Microsoft) Users:
- Go to your inbox and find an email from me.
- Right-click on the email and choose "Move" then "Other Folder."
- Select "Inbox" then click "OK."
- Optionally, you can add BJM@berniejmitchell.com to your trusted sender list by clicking on the email, selecting "Junk," and then "Never Block Sender."
Why Do This? This little action ensures you get my emails straight to your main inbox, so you're always up-to-date with the latest from me.
One more thing...
The Coworking Community Builder email is a short, helpful, 2-minute message every weekday, but you don't need to read EVERY email.
Community & Creator Notes is a weekly LONG READ—and again, you don't need to read every week.
I love writing and producing this work, but if the content is no longer relevant or our relationship has run its course, please don't worry about hitting the unsubscribe button.
In everything I do, I only ever want to be sending emails, podcasts, and videos to people who want to receive them and find them helpful.
No Spam. No Bollox.
Have a remarkable day!
Bernie 💚
