A place where trust is built

This week reminded me how much business growth starts with something simple: a conversation.  

Through my Entrepreneurs Working From Home video series, I’m constantly reaching out to business owners who are willing to share their journey. Every story you see on my YouTube channel begins with a conversation — and by the end of it, a relationship has formed. So, make sure you subscribe for more engaging interviews.

My intention is always to help these entrepreneurs grow and prosper, but along the way I’m building meaningful, delightful relationships with entrepreneurs all over the world. And that’s where trust is built.

It always starts with a conversation.

In this week’s Substack post, I share how to begin those conversations in a way that feels natural, genuine, and aligned — not awkward or salesy.

A quick update on the Entrepreneurs Collab Circle

I also wanted to share where I’m at with creating the Entrepreneurs Collab Circle. Many of you are already on the waitlist, and I appreciate your patience as I build this intentionally. Behind the scenes, I’m:

• Setting up the Skool group (not open just yet)
• Creating welcome posts and classroom categories
• Uploading free resources like the 90-Day Goals Playbook and 2026 Purposeful Planner
• Adding the Purposeful Planner Guide at a very low cost
• Building courses around routines, habits, and staying out of overwhelm
• Planning weekly accountability and collaboration opportunities

If you’re craving real connection, steady momentum, and a supportive space to grow your business alongside like-minded entrepreneurs, I’d love to have you join us.

👉 Join the waitlist here — doors will open soon.

Finally, I don’t want you to miss my recent YouTube conversation with Krista Brea. She’s a self-published author, audiobook publisher, and SEO expert who’s helping me bring my journals back to life on Amazon.  Yes to  "passive income." This conversation is a perfect example of how one aligned connection can open new doors and spark real growth.

Thanks for being here, for reading, and for showing up for your journey — one conversation at a time.

Until next week, 

Gale Bates,  Your "BIG BOLD GOALS” Mentor
