A Community Of Business Owners Who Are Ready to Uplevel, Succeed, And Support Others
If you’re going to join one networking organization, District Bliss is it!
We offer online workshops and support, light-hearted networking socials, support collaborations, help you feel more motivated, and cultivate friendships!
Get inspired and get growing!
After ONE networking event, I booked three new clients and have continued to book new clients at each subsequent event! Because District Bliss makes the events so warm, engaging and welcoming, that awkward networking ice is broken right away and business owners can immediately connect with perfect-match, top paying, high integrity, fun customers. You won't find this at other events. With the top-tier sponsoring opportunity, we are truly thrilled and have found a comfortable, monetizing networking hub — couldn't be happier!
“District Bliss is fantastic! The events are impeccable and SO much fun. They bring together local talent to help you build your business in a comfortable space.”
“What an amazing find District Bliss has been! As a District Bliss sponsor, Sara immediately helped me connect with all the great District Bliss members by hosting my free workshop and promoting it extensively.”

You attended a networking event. Now what?
Imagine this...🤔
You go to a networking event and you meet some great people that you think would be a great client, referral generator, or even your business bestie.
Then what?
If you don't nurture your connection afterward, it's almost like you didn't show up.
That majority of networking isn't done while you're in the room. 🤯
It's the continued connection after the event where most of the networking is done.
So, next time you go to a networking event, commit to the follow-through. I promise, you'll see an even greater return on investment — and it'll be way more fun, too!
Ready to get down to it? Join us for our upcoming Networking Social on 1/19.

Are you camera ready?
There are so many days when I think to myself, "Ugh, do I REALLY need to turn my video on?!"
Zoom fatigue is real, y'all.
But, it doesn't have to feel overwhelming.
On 1/17, I'm being interviewed by @heatherchapplain. I'm sharing...
✅ Why I show up for myself (and my business) even when I don't feel like it
✅ The importance of connecting with people — and why you need your camera ON to truly connect
✅ Why networking is important for business growth and development

I realized something in December. I'm sick of sitting at my computer when it's dark outside.
Maybe that seems silly, but the days are short and, well, I feel like my work days may need to be shorter, too.
So, we're shifting our Virtual Networking Social this month to 2:00pm ET / 11am PT.
And, we're crossing our fingers 🤞 that we'll be able to host *safe* in-person events in 2022. Because we miss seeing you all irl.
To celebrate the New Year, we're giving away FREE tickets to this month's Networking Social on 1/19. So, hit the link in bio and RSVP today!
See you soon!

I struggled...a lot when I first started hosting online events. 😣
I worried people wouldn't be engaged. I worried people wouldn't want to pay. I worried they'd be boring events.
I WORRIED.
