OK, let’s face it. Networking in business can be hard. Really hard.
Especially if you are a bit of an introvert (aka, like me and many other folks who hang out here on the web). Being faced with a room full of strangers might be the most uncomfortable thing you have to do. If it’s a room full of strangers on whom your livelihood (aka, a little thing like a mortgage) depends on, then it can be dreadful. Fearful. Awful.
Wow. I’ve really gotten you excited about this!
Before you scream EEeek! and go hide under the covers watching reruns of Matlock, there’s one other thing you should know. Networking in business doesn’t have to be gut wrenching, if you change the way you think about it.
I’m here to let you know that as an introvert (proven by the fact that I have this blog and actually no longer believe that html stands for “how to mow lawns”), I network in business a lot. It’s vital to my goals, and to my achievement of success.
And you know what? I’ve learned to approach it in a way that it is actually comfortable for me. It’s bordering on fun, even.
So if you’re a networking fraidy cat, come hang out here often as we explore how to network in a way that uses your own unique gifts — how to be authentic — and how to use networking in business as a way to grow your business while you increase your enjoyment of your business.
See you soon!
