About MEG Community!

About US

MEG (My Entrepreneurial Growth) Community embodies the spirit of can-do entrepreneurship! We believe success is rarely accidental and that results require ACTION! We infuse “the spirit of do” into all our programs and activities! 

MEG Community is built around five guiding principles: Inspiration. Support. Education. Collaboration. ACTION! Our programs can help you build a  successful business and live a fulfilled life by giving you the tools to:

* build a solid foundation for your business launch and/or growth

* maintain a strong mindset throughout the inevitable challenges along the way

* move through doubt, fear and uncertainty and step into confidence as an entrepreneur.

How do we do this? Through our membership program. 

Other Testimonials for Tree Membership

“Initially, Robin helped me with the basics, but to my mind, her greatest asset is her ability to listen, encourage, prioritize, and gently nudge me in the right direction. She inspires me to work smarter rather than harder to help myself and others—even after illness and injury sidelined me.

Being part of her supportive network is an important part of my life—and my week. I get a lot done working with Robin and the entrepreneurs in my MEG [Community Premier Tree Membership] group. I feel fortunate to have found Robin, and to have made a friend. Her wisdom and experience have enriched my life and my work immensely. Thank you, Robin!”

Leora Dowling, Public Speaking Coach

“Robin leads her MEG Community with grace and skill. She created an atmosphere that’s first and foremost supportive, yet at the same time keeps members action-oriented and moving forward. All feedback is thought through in detail, constructive, and empathetic. Her sessions are always purposeful: her Tuesday co-working sessions help members keep the momentum, while her Thursday mini-masterminds are strategic and actionable.

I want to emphasize that MEG is NOT another networking group; it’s a supportive environment where you can tap into the collective mind and get things done. Robin’s MEG Community is truly one of a kind!”

Gabriella Laszlo, KloudGem, LLC

“Robin is amazing! She was introduced to me by someone I greatly respect and admire, so when he recommended we meet, I immediately said yes! She has helped me understand business concepts, including how to create a “small business blueprint action plan.”

Meeting Robin and learning from her has helped me to try new ideas which are making a difference! I am grateful for her and her amazing support! I know that those who work with her will benefit immensely – because I have!”

Are you ready to dig in and get serious about building the business of your dreams? Whether you are launching/relaunching your first business, or growing your established small business to the next level, this membership is for you!

Fair warning, though, there is magic in the air at the Tree level! Seeds for growth are sown EVERYWHERE! In our weekly POWER HOURs (our coaching/cowork/conversation combo  – an organic mini-mastermind), the growth seeds are nurtured and tended constantly. The resulting sprouts grow into strong seedlings and then trees through participation in various focus groups, webinars, co-work sessions and other programs. 

By becoming an exclusive Premier MEG Tree member, you are making a choice to learn from experts at an affordable price. 

• Weekly POWER HOURs alone can be a game-changer for you and your business. They are organic mini-masterminds, and they are exclusive to Premier Tree Members. You form bonds with your fellow small business owners, and each week you work together through small business challenges and find solutions. ACTION is required for Tree members! It’s not about the idea, it’s about making the idea real! Thursdays, Noon to 1 PM ET.
• Weekly Early Bird+: Make It Happen Cowork and Spot Coaching sessions keep you accountable to work ON, not just IN, your business on a consistent basis. No excuses. And you can ask a small business expert your questions! 
  Tuesdays. Cowork: 9 to 10 AM ET. Spot Coaching: 10 to 10:15 AM ET
• Videos and resources! You will meet experts with deep knowledge of key topics unfamiliar to you…topics you need to know. You are also learning about what to look for in a professional when you are ready to outsource…BEFORE you hire them. That’s another win for you.  Videos live in our Tree member resources area permanently, so you always have access to them, on your schedule. 
• That’s just the beginning. We have asynchronous spaces that delve into other small business topics, too.

Note: Please set up your notification preferences to get those you want and to stop the ones you don’t want. 

Why You Should Join Us

At the heart of it, our MEG Community is about giving yourself tools that empower you to become a better small business owner and to gain critical knowledge and support as you start OR grow your business. When you become a Premier MEG Tree Member, you are committing to working ON, not just IN, your business, on a steady basis. Small, consistent steps equal huge progress in achieving your goals, growing your business, and taming overwhelm. 

We believe educated, well-supported business owners are more likely to succeed faster.

There is so much you don’t know as a small business owner. You don’t even know what you don’t know. That is completely normal.  Ask yourself: Can I afford NOT to have the expertise offered in POWER HOURs, MEG videos, and MEG programs? Not knowing about these critical small business subjects can carry a big price tag in time and money. 

You choose the level of nurturing and growth you desire as you launch a new business or grow your existing business to a new level.  

• Are you only interested in networking? Become a Leaf member. User name and password are all that are required.

Ground Rules

We want this to be a fun, collaborative and supportive space where small business owners can use their time effectively and get the most out of their MEG Community experience. To achieve this, we’ve created a few Ground Rules to keep all our compasses pointed to true north. Please review these before joining the community and refer back to them on occasion to make sure you’re staying within the bounds of these guiding principles.

Ground Rules:

1. No shameless self-promotion of your business and/or products/services without explicit prior consent of the host, or one of our moderators.
2. Don’t spam the community with links to blog posts, podcast episodes, YouTube channels/videos, or similar. If you share content with no meaningful commentary for discussion, your posts will be deleted. For repeat offenders, you will be ejected from the community altogether. (Empower others to share your content here, so it comes with credibility. How do you do that? Make your content worth sharing!)
3. Only individuals may join the community (i.e., a real person’s name, not a business or organization’s entity name or logo). All others will be warned and then removed.
4. Please fill out your profile and put up a real picture of you (or at least an awesome caricature!)!. In our community, we want to engage with human-focused content, not faceless posts and comments. 
5. This platform only supports English and we request you communicate in English so we can work together to build professional relationships. If you choose not to follow this guideline, you will be removed. 
6. You can disagree with anyone without being disagreeable. Be constructive, positive and stay on topic–small business launch / relaunch and small business growth. Waiver from these principles, and we may or may not warn you before banning you from the community. It’s really important for this to be a safe space for people to share, learn and grow. If they feel like they’re being attacked, that’s not good.
7. At the same time, while this is a safe space, it’s not a space for oversharing. That potentially creates a data privacy risk for you. Please start conversations and equip community members with only the needed information to help and be helped. Untoward or unsavory details shared are not helpful. Rule of thumb: If you question whether it’s appropriate, it’s probably not. 😉

Robin Suomi and the moderators in the focus groups will post events, learning opportunities, courses, group coaching, mastermind groups, and other activities from time-to-time for you to engage. Please set up your notification preferences to get those you want and to stop the ones you don’t want.
