A story of creationship

Jan 10, 2025

I had this idea last year to do a summit.

I wanted it to be for established business owners who have created some amazing things already and are looking to the future of their business. Wondering what is next. How do they continue to leverage what they’ve created. How do they ensure that all of the efforts they’ve put into their business will continue to pay them and their families for years to come?

In my mind I was calling it the Legacy Summit… and that’s where it stayed for many months. In my mind as an idea.

But it was an idea that wouldn’t go away! It was always in the back of my mind lurking… whispering in my ear “Tina…. when are you going to bring me to life…”

Yes, I wanted to do it… but it also became clear to me that part of what was holding me back was I didn’t want to do it alone!

So, in the summer, I reached out to my friend Penelope Jane Smith about co-hosting together, and she said yes.

Then I reconnected with my friend Cindy Greenway about producing the summit, and she said yes, too. (Cindy and I used to do summits together all the time… some of you may remember Virtually Successful, Women on Top or The Checklist Giveaway.)

The three of us came together and created The Legacy Summit. We’ve gathered a group of top-notch speakers to share their wisdom with us and we can’t wait to open the doors for registration next week.

Along those lines, I have a wee challenge for you today.

What idea have you been sitting on that won’t leave you alone? That keeps whispering in your ear?

Something that you know you want to do but that you haven’t had the time, energy, or inclination to do yet?

What if the thing you need to get the ball rolling is to partner with someone else and do it together?

My friend Jen Kem calls this creationship – which is simply about coming together to create amazing things.

I know for a fact that we wouldn’t be doing The Legacy Summit this month if I hadn’t partnered with Penelope and Cindy. It would still be sitting in the back of my mind as an idea.

I’m curious – what is an idea lurking in the back of your mind that you would love to partner with someone on?
