ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
THIS SOUNDS RAD. WHAT'S THE FINE PRINT?
It is rad! We're excited. Here are the nuts and bolts:
● You get 2 emails a month from January through December 2020* with tools & treasures for cultivating a feminist vision for your business. The emails will be delivered through MailChimp, directly to your inbox.
● You get exclusive access to The Sisterhood Slack channel (this is where the online community lives) from January 21 to December 11, 2020*. You will be able to post, comment, share, like, and emoji to your heart's content. You can access Slack from an internet browser, desktop app, or phone app, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. We keep an eye on the channel Monday through Friday to make sure it's healthy and humming. We spend time participating in the discussion threads on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (We think! We haven't done this before but we imagine this is how it will work.)
● The cost is $105 dollars a month (possibly less for you if you are one of the lucky ones who hopped on early bird pricing or one of our promotions!). When you register, you are committing to all 12 months, whether you use the community and materials for the entire year or not. Once we receive your registration with your initial payment, we will send you a Participation Agreement. This is a contractual agreement acknowledging the 12-month financial commitment.
● Registration price is per person, not per business or partnership. If your work/life/business partner wants to join you, they will need to register separately. Please contact us for a discount if you would like to register together.
*PLEASE NOTE: We take the month of August off for summer vacation (and encourage you to, too!) so, there will be no emails or community that month.
I'M INTERESTED IN THIS COMMUNITY BUT I'M A BUSINESS BABE WITH SOME STUFF GOING ON (LIFE/BIZ/KIDS/HOBBIES). HOW MUCH TIME WILL THIS TAKE? WHAT DAYS/TIMES OF THE WEEK DOES THIS HAPPEN?
We get it. We're busy and most of us are overcommitted. This community is designed to fit into your business flow. It should feel easy, never like an obligation. The community is housed in Slack, which you can access whenever you want: day or night and even weekends and holidays. We may host a few scheduled events such as video meet-ups or live chats, but those will be rare and we will provide recordings of the event whenever possible, for those who could not attend. We envision The Sisterhood as a fun and engaging online community that you can pop in and out as it pleases you. The emails are yours to keep and utilize whenever you want.
WHAT KIND OF INVOLVEMENT/SUPPORT DOES SISTER PROVIDE?
We write and send you 2 emails packed with goodness every month (except in August when we are on holiday 😎). We also monitor and participate in the online community by posting discussion prompts, upholding the healthy communication guidelines, and cheering you on. We'll check in on the discussion threads on Tuesday and Thursdays to make sure everything is copacetic. The Sister staff's primary role in the community is as facilitators, not experts, advisors, or teachers. We do not take phone calls and we do not offer individualized business advice via email or direct message. If you are wanting personalized support for your business, please consider our consulting packages.
IF I DECIDE TO LEAVE/QUIT/ABANDON THE SISTERHOOD, CAN I CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP?
Membership in The Sisterhood is a 12 month commitment. If you quit or abandon The Sisterhood at any time during 2020, your card will continue to be charged until your membership has been paid in-full. All sales are final; we do not offer refunds. If you want to ensure that The Sisterhood is right for you before making a commitment, please email us, hello@sister.is, and we'll be happy to help you.
I DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS YET, I JUST HAVE AN IDEA. IS THIS COMMUNITY RIGHT FOR ME?
No. Please join us in Feminist Business School: Concepts & Conception where we will provide you the specific support needed to transform your idea into a thriving business. The Sisterhood is for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and small business owners who have been in business for at least a year and are supporting themselves.
If you have completed Concepts & Conception and are ready for the Visioning stage, The Sisterhood is for you.
I AM NOT A BUSINESS OWNER, I'M AN INTRAPRANEUR/MANAGER/LEADER WITHIN MY COMPANY AND VERY INTERESTED IN THE SISTERHOOD. IS THIS FOR ME?
I'M NOT A FULL-TIME ENTREPRENEUR AND DON'T PLAN ON BECOMING ONE, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THESE IDEAS. CAN I JOIN YOU?
The Sisterhood provides a valuable community for those engaged with the challenging and emotional work of entrepreneurship. It is not designed for employees wanting to bring these concepts into their workplace nor is it appropriate for those with a casual or intellectual interest in the material (side hustlers, hobbyists, academics, press, writers, researchers). Please consider our books instead, for deeper engagement with our ideas.
DO YOU OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS OR PAYMENT SUPPORT?
Yes! We are offering a limited number of partial scholarships to womxn of color who demonstrate financial need. Please email us hello@sister.is for more info.
I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS!
Please email us, hello@sister.is and we will assist you.
