Everything happens for a reason

Wednesday, December 16th. Woo-Hoo 2 posts in days! How's that? Wednesday's are one of my crazy busy networking days.

Since, my normal Wednesday morning networking group has a Christmas party/ happy hour this afternoon, I decided to go to One Million Cups in it's place. They didn't have their usual format today, instead they had a guest speaker; Christina Daves of PR for Anyone. I heard Christina speak at a Prince William Chamber event earlier this year or maybe last year and she was wonderful. However, hearing her for the second time really made what she was saying make more sense to me. It clicked more. Or maybe my life and my sense of self, has changed in a way that makes it click now where it didn't before. Either way, it's interesting how things happen in life. I truly believe that you end up exactly where you're meant to be at all times.

Now I have more ideas to implement into my 2016 business plan.

Ok, I'm off to my next networking event, Business Alliance Networking Group in Centerville, VA.

The Ins and Outs of Networking

I thought I'd talk about networking for those who are just starting out in their networking journey. And maybe, just maybe, someone who's a pro, will learn something or get a new idea. When you start out on your journey of networking, you're not sure what you're going to find. If you're like me, you're a little intimidated by everyone. They all seem so put together, so confident. It feels like everyone knows everyone else and you don't know anyone! You might sit there thinking "What the heck am I doing here?" But guess what? What you're feeling is 100% normal. And guess what else? We all felt the same way when we started networking. Because I'm one of those people who remembers feeling that way, I make it a point to go out of my way to talk to newbies, show them around, introduce them to others, give them networking advice. It's funny because the very first networking group I ever attended is the one that I'm currently the ...

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017
