Today we’re highlighting our chapter member Cowgirl Chip's Horse Talk, an equine consultant who helps horse owners better understand the horse in front of them.

You bought the horse… but did you get the owner’s manual?

Every horse comes with a unique personality, learning style, fears, and way of communicating.

The problem? Most owners were taught how to ride… not how to read the horse underneath them.

Chip helps horse owners replace confusion with confidence through practical, easy-to-understand education that puts the horse first.

A great reminder that building a better relationship with your horse starts with understanding how they think, communicate, and learn.

If you or your children are interested in horse lessons, learning to ride, or better understanding and connecting with your horse, Cowgirl Chip's Horse Talk is a great place to start.

Monday Motivation

I read this post by Mark Brodinsky in our Trusted Referral Partners Skool Group and was so moved by it I wanted to share with you all.

Tired, Tired, Tired

I wanted to share a really good, authentic email that was shared from someone I follow who is a "marketing expert", even she knows the deal. Create relationships, be a good person, try and help/lift others. Her name is Lisa Zahiya and I'm proud of her for being vulnerable. Here you go:

Hey team,
So here I am in my newsletter about sales and marketing with a confession...
I am so, so tired of marketing.
I'm tired of figuring out the perfect launch.
I'm tired of trying to figure out how to influence.
I'm tired of figuring out the right hook for my reel.
I'm tired of screaming through the noise.
I just really want to be human.
I want to be honest and imperfect.
I want to help people.
I want my clients to shine and grow.
I want to get paid fairly for my expertise.

I want to tell the truth. I want to say what I do and tell people how I can help them.

If it works, I want them to buy from me, and I will commit to delivering an excellent product.

That's it.

I don’t think I’m tired of marketing. I think I’m tired of song and dance marketing.
Which makes me ask myself the question:
What would sales and marketing look like if the goal wasn’t to manufacture attention, but to make it easier for the right people to understand what I know, what I believe, and how I can help?
Sooo, to put my money where my mouth is, here are my commitments:
I will say what I actually think, even when it isn’t optimized for engagement.
I will clearly tell people when I have something that can help them.
I will stop manufacturing urgency, drama, and constant visibility just to stay relevant.

I'll be imperfect and recognize my own effort and my own nervous system.

Maybe good marketing doesn’t need to make people feel more urgency, fear, or inadequacy. (aka like sh*t) Maybe it can simply help someone understand what is possible, what you do, and whether it is right for them.

A great insight from our chapter member Unrestricted Humans on what really helps delegation stick.

Hiring solves capacity. It doesn’t automatically solve delegation.

If every decision still lands on your desk, the issue usually isn’t your team’s ability - it’s a missing system for ownership.

Good people plus the right structure equals work that actually stays delegated.

A great reminder that growth doesn’t just require more help - it also requires clearer systems, roles, and ownership.

What Should Businesses Post About on Social Media in September 2026?

Think about what questions you are asking this September? Your customers are probably asking the same questions. Start there—and create content that helps you, and therefore your customers, take the next step.

This week’s educational tip comes from THI Marketing Services, our chapter’s social media marketing agency.

Many business owners think social media is just about posting consistently, but strong social media marketing goes deeper than that. The goal is to build a real audience by creating content that provides value, encourages engagement, builds trust, and keeps your business top of mind.

For service-based businesses, the right social media strategy can help turn followers into real relationships - and eventually, real customers.

Connect with THI Marketing Services to learn more about social media strategy, content creation, and audience engagement.

This week, we’re happy to feature one of our BNI Referral Masters members, Georgianna “Chip” Watson!

Chip is an equine consultant who helps horse owners replace confusion with confidence through practical, easy-to-understand education that puts the horse first.

You bought the horse… but did you get the owner’s manual?

Owning a horse comes with a lot of questions, and it can be overwhelming to know what your horse needs, what certain behaviors mean, or how to make the best decisions for their care.

Chip helps horse owners better understand their horses so they can feel more confident, informed, and connected.

A great reminder from Cowgirl Chip's Horse Talk that sometimes the best support starts with education, clarity, and someone who truly understands horses.

This week, we’re happy to feature one of our BNI Referral Masters members, Unrestricted Humans.

Unrestricted Humans helps people get unstuck, build clarity, and move forward with the work or goals that have been sitting on the back burner.

What felt like “we’re all in this together” at 8 people can start feeling like chaos at 40 — not because your people changed, but because the conditions did.

Culture isn’t fixed by a values poster or another all-hands meeting. It’s fixed by finding the hidden blockers created by growth and changing the conditions, not overhauling the people.

Growth breaks things that used to work. That’s normal. The question is whether you rebuild the structure on purpose or let it happen by accident.

A great reminder from Unrestricted Humans that sometimes the issue isn’t the people — it’s the structure around them.
