Winter, with its severe cold and early darkening evenings, can make it the perfect season to turn your attention inward. Before you get concerned, we aren't electing for some deep soul searching. Instead, we are suggesting that July is devoted to Checking in, and we are here to help you do just that.

BizDojo is here to help you get the best out of yourself and your business. 

Covering everything from tips on how to check in on your business such as re-testing and re-validating right through to how to check in with your team, and how to receive feedback as a freelancer (without wanting to kick your client in the shins). We will give you the lowdown on tools to help you check you are on the right path with setting and achieving your goals, and even throw together a cheeky check-list of stuff to do before you launch your business. You will find this and a bunch more here on our blog, and across Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and Instagram.

Of course, we will check-in with the BizDojo community, sharing news and views from our community of freelancers, remote workers, one-man bands, small businesses, startups, founders and beyond.

No conversation around checking in would be complete without a bit of a check in with us too. We will be giving a little bit of a deep dive into two of our most recently added communities - Market Lane in Wellington, and Ponsonby in Auckland, and giving a chance for the curious to come in and have a look around.

Don't want to miss out on anything? Sign up for 'The Check-In', and we will send a weekly check-in direct to your inbox. From prompts to help facilitate conversation within your team, through to tips and tricks to help you keep a focus on the stuff that matters. At the end of August we will even send you an overview of everything we have covered, making it easy for you to access what you need when you need it. 

Time to check in folks!
