a little share on networking…
i absolutely love connecting people. i think it’s a gift i have to help link people together and i believe a lot of us have these gifts of knowing which people are supposed to meet others in our life.
in the last few months, i started popping in and out of different traditional networking groups…at first i wasn’t into it (to be completely honest) it felt so stale and like wow i have to sum myself up in a boxed category in one minute of speaking? so much pressure, i could always feel the nerves of people in the group as they would pitch and just felt like this wasn’t me.
but i still kept going because i would get invited and felt like there might be something to this thing. and over time, i also used it as a place to get comfortable with talking about my new business and who i am here to help.
one day, it all clicked to me why the people who love being in these groups love it so damn much. it’s because it creates a beautiful ecosystem where you refer people you know with people in the group. it’s like an insider thing…for instance, i know a handyman who helps with home stuff, i know a financial advisor to help with retirement, etc and eventually someone you know needs something and now you have a referral.
it kind of also reminds me of how i was able to grow my wedding photography business…i would get close to certain wedding vendors that i liked working with and they would refer me out. more connections, more $$$
it’s not always about money…it’s about building the relationships and connection with others so that everyone wins.
i have been sitting on this idea for years now…of building my own version of this networking group to This Modern Collective…bridging together healers, creatives, entrepreneurs, small business owners who want to make meaningful connections AND receive energy tune ups to keep going and keeping your creative channel open.
this is what i’m calling:
Open Doors: a monthly gathering where we come together to have real conversation, share what we are working on and receive a monthly soundbath tune up from me.
this is an person event on thursday evening september 4th and open to anyone who is looking to build some meaningful connections with likeminded people. 7-9pm
eventually this will turn into an ongoing membership with lots of benefits (member spotlight, directory listing, themed events).
this was the vision that i’ve always had and it’s now coming together. save the date in your calendar (it’s listed on our calendar here on Skool with details for address)
come meet other creatives, entrepreneurs, healers, practitioners, and visionaries in the collective.
bring your ideas. bring your questions. bring yourself.
you never know who you’re going to meet or what might open up from one simple conversation💓
let’s see what opens.
