Work together as a group to create templates and tools and resources specific to your “Guild” or field of study. For example. if you are a wellness practitioner, you could go to the Wellness Guild and seek out Daniel Levin, founder of Healer Source, and see how you can work on this project which provides valuable resources and templates to wellness practitioners to help their businesses, like scheduling tools and intake forms, as well as providing a holistic healers directory with free listings. These types of resources could be created in any guild so that the whole guild may thrive!
