Simple Ways to Build a Powerful Network

Networking can be worse than a trip to the dentist. It can be awkward, uncomfortable, and not worth the time it took to get there, if you’re not sure about the what’s, why’s, and how’s.

Can you guess what a couple of the key ingredients are to successful networking?  You got it! Courage and confidence.

One of my very first networking experience was being held at a funeral home and there must have been 150 people in attendance. Okay, so I walk in and instantly overwhelmed at all the people and thinking, I’m suppose to do what exactly?  Yep, that was the tape playing over and over in my head. What am I doing here!

Wait…it gets worse. The emcee calls the attention of the room through a microphone and asks us to find a seat. I find a seat and so thankful that I don’t have to wander about anymore pretending like I know what I was doing.  But, being the quick study that I am, I quickly realized to my horror, that that microphone was going to each member of the crowd to do an introduction.   Can you imagine?  My heart was beating so fast.  How fitting to drop dead of humiliation, at a networking event, in a funeral home.  I felt paralyzed and was truly shocked as I heard words form from my mouth into the microphone.

I survived.  It didn’t have to be like that and lucky for you, you can learn from my years of painful and awkward, trial and error, networking adventures.

I recently wrote an article 5 Simple Ways to Build a Powerful Network and it has been selected to be circulated inside the main Biznik articles section!   Biznik, an online social network for entrepreneurs and a great resource for connections, collaborations, and business development information.  I highly recommend reading for newbie and veteran networkers who want to build a strong and powerful network.

It all comes back to developing courage and confidence to be and do YOU!

It takes some time to get there, but it’s in you!

Do you judge yourself?

Do you judge yourself?

“If you judge people you have no time to love them.” ~Mother Teresa

I recently shared a picture of Mother Teresa with this quote on my personal Facebook page. It touched my heart and apparently many others, as a few shared the photo from my post, many likes, and a comment or two. I never know what will grab the attention of my friends and family on Facebook, and quite frankly, I don’t put a lot of thought into it either. My posts happen by chance. When I have some time I will browse as far as I can through the many updates and newsfeeds, and if something touches my heart, I will share it. It could be something that resonated with me and in alignment with my understanding, thought provoking, something that made me giggle, or something simply beautiful.
Well this quote was something that resonated with me and simply beautiful. However, while I was running and processing a thousand different things I landed on this quote. And as I heard Mother Teresa’s words in mind, I recalled a presentation I did the other day to a woman’s group giving 7 non-traditional tips for a greater health and wellness story, and one of the tips was to “Fall in love with your life and with you”. I started thinking…”If I judge myself I have no time to love me”.

Wow! That was an awakening. I consciously work at not judging people, places or things. I try to learn from every opportunity and become more aware that difference doesn’t mean right or wrong, good or bad…it’s just different. The gift of freedom from this awareness is beyond words and I encourage you to try it on for size. Getting back to the point…Am I as accepting of myself as I am of others? This is definitely an area I am working on.

I ask you, “Do you judge yourself?”

I invite you to join me in becoming aware of judging yourself and instead of ruling right or wrong, good or bad, simply take it as information and do better next time.

Believing in the power of you!
