Setting “network more” as a New Year’s goal? It’s not enough. In this episode of The Link Up Lounge, Donna and Tiffany break down how to turn vague networking wishes into clear, achievable actions.

They explore why most resolutions fail (hint: they’re too big or too vague) and how to focus instead on what you can control. From choosing one consistent habit, to tracking your connections and evaluating what really brings in business — they’ve got the mindset and strategies to help you succeed this year.

You’ll also hear how Donna evaluates where her clients actually come from (spoiler: not social media), and how Tiffany uses fun as a tracking tool in her planner.

What You’ll Learn:

• The three types of networking resolutions that actually work
• Why activity-based goals are more powerful than outcome-based ones
• How to track progress and recognize what’s really working
• A mindset shift around what “results” look like in relationship-based marketing

Jac and Jess didn’t set out to just host events—they set out to build community. In this episode, Tiffany and Donna chat with the founders of St. John’s BFF about how their group came to life, the heart behind their gatherings, and the faith that continues to guide their mission. From supporting local organizations like Isaiah House to collaborating with other women-led businesses, their story is one of intention, generosity, and purpose.

Just like Jac and Jess, Tiffany and Donna believe there’s room for everyone at the table. Bond and Beyond Network and St. John’s BFF may be separate groups, but they’re built on the same belief: collaboration over competition always wins.

And if you listen in, you’ll also find out which of us were team Barbies, who loved their baby dolls, and who’s been loyal to stuffed animals since day one—can you guess who’s who?

Check out all things St John's BFFs!
