Better Collabs Workshop
Collaborations should grow your business. Not swallow it.
A one-hour, on-demand training on choosing better opportunities, setting clear boundaries, and making collaboration work for your business.
You love the idea of collaborating. You don't love what happened the last time.
Working with other entrepreneurs can be pretty damn magical. You get out of your Batcave, share ideas, and introduce your work to people who might never have found you otherwise.
But sometimes that exciting opportunity turns into a whole lot more than you signed up for.
The expectations get fuzzy. The meetings multiply. You become the person everyone leans on to keep the thing moving — while your own projects keep getting pushed aside.
Or maybe you haven't collaborated yet, and you want to know what to look for before you say yes.
Either way, you don't need another pep talk about putting yourself out there. You need to know which opportunities make sense for your business, what to ask up front, and when it's time to step away.
What You'll Learn
In Better Collabs, we get into the good, the bad, and the ugly of collaborating in entrepreneurship — and the practical dos and don'ts we've learned along the way.
We'll help you get clearer about:
Choosing opportunities that actually fit. Consider the audience, the people involved, and the business goal a collaboration could support — not just how exciting the invitation sounds.
Asking better questions before you commit. Find out what's expected, who's making decisions, and what you're really agreeing to contribute.
Making the most of summits and bundles. Learn what we look for, how to approach applications like business proposals, and why doing the bare minimum isn't much of a growth strategy.
Staying above the bar of resentment. Set boundaries around your time and support so generosity doesn't turn into an obligation you dread.
Recognizing when you're over-collaborating. Notice when other people's projects are crowding out your own launches, clients, and revenue-generating work — and give yourself permission to change course.
Why We're Teaching This
We've done a lot of collaborating over the years. Some good, some bad, some truly ugly.
We still love it. Done strategically, collaboration can help you break out of best-kept secret status and make business a whole lot more fun.
But we don't want you saying yes just because someone asked, the people seem great, or you don't want to miss out.
In this training, Jennie shares the experiences behind our dos and don'ts: summits that opened new doors, a friend's project that turned into more responsibility than she agreed to, and a co-produced event that was fun for attendees but costly for the businesses behind it.
These aren't theories about perfect partnerships. They're lessons from real collaborations — including the ones we'd handle very differently if we could do them over.
One hour. Ready when you are.
Better Collabs is a recorded, conversational training led by Jennie of Jennie + Meredyth, including the Q&A from the original workshop.
Watch it on your schedule and use what you learn to take a closer look at your next opportunity — or a collaboration you're already in.
Just $10.
FAQs
Is this live, or can we watch it now?
It's already recorded and ready to watch. Plan on one hour for the training and recorded Q&A. There's no live event to attend or replay to wait for.
Is this only about summits and bundles?
Nope. Those are some of the examples we use, but the lessons also apply to co-produced events, joint projects, and other collaborations with entrepreneurs. We're talking about working together on something, not becoming permanent business partners.
What if we've never collaborated before?
That's a great time to watch. You don't need a collaboration disaster under your belt to benefit from asking better questions and setting clearer expectations before your first yes.
I have another question.
We can't anticipate them all! Email us with your question at hello@jennieandmeredyth.com and we'll get back to you as soon as humanly possible.
Before your next “That sounds amazing — count us in,” watch this.
You can be generous, have fun working with other people, and still protect the business you're building.
Let's make your next collaboration a more intentional one.
