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.

There are only 24 hours in a day!

I've learned that I can only do so much. My business is booming, my marriage is flourishing, my personal health and fitness goals are in tip-top shape, but there is so much more going on in life. Spending time with family, spending time with friends, working on projects inside and outside of the house.

It's something I do to keep track of what I'm doing, where I am on my goals, and hopefully to motivate a few people at the same time. Here's where I'm at; Business: I am still out there networking, I have made so many new friends and am building great relationships. I am still working on single-tasking. I KNOW that it's the key to getting things done for me. However, I still have my days where I am so busy that I lapse back into my habit of multi-tasking. I do realiz...

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 ...
