Working Alone Together and Growing a Business Community
The Weekly BUZZ at The Hive RI & the Mill at Lafayette…
We have 2 offices open in The Hive!
It doesn’t happen often but we now have 2 of our coveted 4 private offices within The Hive RI available. Unlike elsewhere throughout our lovely Mill at Lafayette, these offices are rented month to month, no deposit and no lease required…we just ask for a 30 day notice when you’re ready to move on (or up, as many tenants end up moving into larger spaces within the mill). These offices are great if you like privacy but also like to be within a community setting. They are $300 per month and will go quickly so if you (or someone you know) is interested, please let Tuni know ASAP:tuni@hubdigitalmarketing.com.
Coworking in The Hive RI:
Have you been thinking about ‘coworking’? We only charge $100 per month and you’re welcome to come ‘test drive at The Hive’ for zero, zip, zilch for the first couple of days! Come on by, make yourself at home and see if this might be a good fit for you!
Exercise during your work day:
We are adjacent to Ryan Park, a beautiful wooded park owned by the town of North Kingstown that features miles of walking/running trails, ponds and streams. So many of our community members here at The Hive RI and in the Mill at Lafayette take daily advantage of this beautiful space. We have showers available so don’t worry about working up a sweat!

The Weekly BUZZ…
The Hive RI’s Thursday Lunch & Learn:
Join us this Thursday, noon-1:00, to learn ‘Six Steps To Getting Over The Revenue Rollercoaster with Dawn Quesnel’.
If you are a business development professional, a creative entrepreneur, small business owner, or solo-preneur and you feel like you rarely have much of a balance in your work/life, this lunch and learn is for you. Some months your revenue is up, and some months it’s down. You want more consistency from your business and you are tired of riding the revenue roller coaster. In this workshop you will learn exactly what you need to do AND how much time you need to be spending on it each week.
- This method is proven to help you fill the pipeline 50% faster
- Learn strategies to help you work on your highest dollar per hour value task.
- Key insights for developing systems to keep your sales pipeline going while you sleep.

Networking:
Check this out… Total Exposure Networking (T.E.N.)!
In lieu of our Lunch & Learn program (back August 18th) we’re hosting Richard Austin’s next T.E.N. event! Total Exposure Networking…have you heard of it?
At most networking events you’re lucky if you get to talk to 9 or 10 people. Even then, are you delivering your message or just talking about the weather or the latest news headlines? At Total Exposure Networking (TEN), we make sure that you get to deliver your pitch to everyone in the room! Our unique TEN format consists of starting out with food, drink, and general conversation. Then, when everyone is there, we pick 5 people, and they each have one minute to give their pitch to everyone in the room. Now for the good part – we then take 10 minutes to allow anyone to talk with those who just spoke – to ask questions, learn more, and make appointments. Then we pick 5 more and do it again, and again, using the 5/10 format until everyone has had the opportunity to deliver their pitch to everyone in the room! A perfect TEN!

#welivehere
Wow! To be celebrated for my community based addiction (I mean work) and to be able to celebrate amazing, strong, beautiful, brilliant, hyper-focused RI based women entrepreneurs at the same time…priceless!!!
A BIG thank you to Gail Ahlers, Ahlers Designs, for making these awards. Gail is brilliant, beautiful inside & out, full of heart in everything she does, a TRUE community champion in every way and I’m so very honored to have this art (award/recognition) on my wall! She came here to go to Rhode Island School of Design, a little while back ;), and has been blessing this state with her entrepreneurial brilliance, energy, passion and talent ever since. She uses recycled Narragansett Beer cans for the flowers and cultured pearls (with a story behind that choice that brings tears to the eyes every time)… every award she makes is truly a one of a kind piece of art (like a snowflake) and she lovingly takes the time to truly understand the recipient, as well as the organization giving the recognition. We are so very lucky to live in a state that is home to such an amazing professional community, full of individuals and groups that truly support one another. The Rhode Island Small Business Journal’s 3rd annual Entrepreneurial Women to Watch Awards celebration was yet another example of how united we all are here in our mission to be the change we wish to see, to celebrate success, and to move forward together with a positive focus.
Thankful beyond words…
