The ChainMeet Movement of Inspiring Forward
Introducing the new Movement of POSITIVITY that helps ordinary people make an extraordinarily positive impact on the world around us, just one friend at a time. Because when you inspire forward, you ultimately inspire within – so you can inspire forward again… and again!
Why ChainMeet?
Dear Reader,
Imagine feeling self-confident and worthy of being your Unique You, knowing that you matter in this world and that you can make a positive impact.
But have you ever felt lonely or isolated, even in a room full of people? Maybe you’ve struggled with a negative self-image or found yourself doubting your worth as a friend. You’re not alone. Many of us grapple with those feelings, worrying that we don’t have anything valuable to offer or that we won’t be accepted or included. It’s tough when self-doubt creeps in, making us feel like we’re on the outside looking in. I get it; been there, done that.
That’s exactly why I created ChainMeet. I wanted to find a way to tackle these feelings head-on and help others rediscover their self-worth and confidence. The solution?
A super simple 4-step blueprint called Meet-Treat-Eat-Repeat.
This isn’t just another social gimmick; it’s about real and meaningful connections that make a difference!
And here’s the best part: when you support and uplift others through your ChainMeets, you get to experience the magic of Reciprocity: that incredible feeling of being encouraged, affirmed, and validated—in return. When you KNOW and FEEL you’re valued and appreciated, it empowers you to step out of your comfort zone and chase your goals and dreams. (That is part of my story and how I discovered the power of the ChainMeet)
It’s time to embrace hope, excitement, and the incredible possibility of YOU confidently making a difference in the world around you—simply one ChainMeet at a time!
Journeying together,
The ChainMeet Methodology:
Meet, Treat, Eat, Repeat
Our mission is straightforward: to empower you to be friendtentional and become the most authentic version of yourself—your Unique You—while positively impacting your circle. How do we accomplish this and bring meaningful moments into your life? Through a method we’ve perfected, rooted in the principles of Others-Love and Reciprocity.
Just follow our Super-Simple 4-Step Blueprint to ChainMeet Mastery: Meet, Treat, Eat, Repeat. So, pick a spot, Meet up, Treat them to something special, Eat as you share an experience, and then Repeat. It’s as transformative as it sounds!
Meet
The first easy step of being friendtentional: Send a ChainMeet invite to a *Valued Friend (VF) to hang out together in-person, one-on-one, face-to-face, just the two of you. Even the act of inviting them to meet at a coffee shop, pizza café, or wherever you choose will brighten their day and set the stage for impact!
*ValuedFriend (VF): a friend you value and appreciate for who they are
Treat
Yes, treat them to a favorite coffee, a cookie, pizza, after-dinner drink, a donut (or two), whatever you choose; this makes it affordable. We believe the simple gesture of treating—and being treated—is what counts. Doesn’t it feel good to be treated?
Eat
Enjoy the treat and your time together as you create an impactful experience. Honor your friend with your complete focus and attention. Ask questions. Let them share! And spur them on with your encouragement, your affirmation, and your belief in them.
ChainMeet helps you to go beyond surface-level talks; sharing food or drink creates room for honest conversations and genuine connections. Then enjoy the rewards of Reciprocity—the good version of What goes around comes around—you BOTH will feel an enhanced sense of value and self-worth!
Repeat
This is the most important step! Do it all over again. Keep inspiring forward! Invite another VF to a ChainMeet, and another… That’s you keeping the Chain of Positivity going, and changing the world around you—simply one friend at a time.
Then…
Then... Post! Showcase Your ChainMeet!
Don’t forget to inspire others and memorialize the awesome time with your buddy by posting your ChainMeet on your social media pages! Snap a selfie of the two of you during your ChainMeet, upload it, then share your experience. On Facebook, tag ChainMeet; on Instagram, tag ChainMeetLife. Tag your friend, and mention the restaurant you visited. Imagine how they will feel when you publicly show appreciation for your VF!
Sharing your ChainMeet stories not only fuels your friendship but also fuels a community aiming for common goals of empowerment, inspiration, and self-actualization. When you inspire forward, you also inspire within, creating an unstoppable wave of positivity.
And, posting your ChainMeet creates a place for your VF to remember and relive that moment again, to uplift and inspire again.
So what are you waiting for? Be a link in the ChainMeet Movement and start changing the world—one friend, one moment, one ChainMeet at a time!
Post ChainMeet style:
- Head to your Facebook or Instagram Page: It’s where your ChainMeet glory gets stored.
- Capture the Moment: During your ChainMeet, take a selfie that encapsulates the awesomeness of your ChainMeet, and upload it.
- Details, Details: Tag ChainMeet on Facebook and/or tag ChainMeetLife on Instagram. Tag your VF and mention the restaurant you went to.
