Guidelines
Leading Local Insiders Group Guidelines

Welcome to the Leading Local Insiders—a community created to help you grow your business, strengthen your mindset, and connect with like-minded business owners across Indiana. This group is a safe, supportive, and purposeful space designed to keep you moving forward.

Please take a moment to read and follow these guidelines:

1. This is a Guided Space—Not a Free-for-All

Daily prompts and conversation starters are posted by Mel only. This helps keep the group focused, aligned, and easy to navigate. You are welcome to comment, engage, and connect in the comments—but please do not start new threads.

2. Encouragement Over Ego

We are here to build each other up. Share wins, ask questions, offer advice—but always with kindness and respect. No shaming, gossip, or judgment allowed.

3. No Self-Promotion or Sales Posts, Unless Prompted

This group is not for pitching your business, products, or services. If a prompt calls for an introduction or shout-out, you can share what you do there. Otherwise, keep the focus on connection and learning.

4. Confidentiality Matters

What is shared in this group stays in this group. Please do not share screenshots, quotes, or personal details outside of this space without permission.

5. Be Consistent. Be Honest. Be You.

This is a space to grow—not just your business, but yourself as a business owner. Show up. Be open. Ask for help when you need it. Someone else is probably feeling the same way you are.

6. One-Time Fee = Lifetime Access

You paid once, and you are in for good. Take what you need, when you need it. You are always welcome to come back, re-engage, or just read along.

7. Mel is Here to Help

If you need clarity, have a concern, or want to book a 1:1 session, reach out directly. This group is part of the consulting support I offer, and I am invested in your growth.
