Networking: It's what YOU make it!

I've been reading articles on networking, finding like minded individuals, support groups and mentors when you're an entrepreneur. Well, I've met some amazing talented and resourceful individuals via social networks that I have called upon countless times. But its also wise to go to events and meet people face to face, that person you may have crossed several times and never knew who they were. What I am learning is that networking is NOT about getting a new client or making a sale, its making deep connections to nurture and grow. What do you have to offer someone to help them achieve their goals? What does that person have to offer you? It may not be the sale or new client that your looking for but it could be the amazing words of wisdom they offer. It could be the support they offer.
The next time you are at a networking event, learn from the people you talk to and share your experiences. You'll find in the long run you've gained much more than a sale or new client.

As always Be Candy Coated!

Letting Go of Inhibitions

Although I am revamping Candy Coated Bags, in the process I feel myself growing. It's a liberating and frightful feeling all at the same time. I was comfortable in my little circle of familiarity, but I wasn't content. While setting goals for CCB, I decided to set some personal goals as well. One of which was to stop letting my fear inhibit me from opportunities that I may come across. Yesterday evening, I stepped out of my comfort zone by attending an amazing event, by myself (shocked myself lol). In the past that would have never happened, fear would have told me "you can't go by yourself, you don't have the guts". Not this time, there is a greater calling that I am adhering to now, I must go where He is taking me, alone or not. I did meet some amazing new people that I otherwise would have never known existed. I'm proud of me!!

This is totally random but I read my horoscope for today and smiled thinking, yup, I'm on the right track, embracing the changes and loving where my spirit is taking me!

"Libra Aug 4 2012
In some very personal area of your life, you are experiencing an extreme. An extreme of emotion, of absence, of vulnerability, or perhaps of abundance - and it is having a profound affect on you spiritually. But whether this feeling is good or not so good, it will serve to make a very good change in your life, your path, and your future. That's why it's important for you to immerse yourself in it, to study it, to reflect on it, to share it. You probably already have an inkling of the change that is to come, so embrace it"

As always, Be Candy Coated :)
