time to turn on the network

That's right, as a new self employed entrepreneur, I'm finding myself needing to reacquaint myself with the good ol term "networking." My coach said to me "it's time to pick up the phone, email isn't going to cut it." And while I don't disagree with her, I tried to say no one calls anyone anymore. It's all email in business (and in the dating world it's all text!). Such a shame actually, human contact seems to be disappearing behind technology. Ick.

So I'm making every attempt to go back to the days of the phone and am giving it the good ol college try. I'm looking to reach out to 5 people in my mass network a day. A few on email and a few on phone. And those who I don't reach via email I will call and those who don't return my calls I will email. But one way or another, I will make every attempt to reach people to tell them all about ostrich coaching + consulting. And I can't wait! While I hate being in "sales mode" it't not my forte at all, I do look forward to having something exciting on a personal and professional level to share w/ all of my network.

So if you're someone who knows me and reads this blog, you can count on the fact that you're likely on my list of people...that's already over 100 names. So make sure you take my call or read and respond to my email. I'm driven to succeed and like everything else in life, it's one day at a time....and in this case, one contact and one lead at a time.
