Leadership Tip
Grow With The Flow
I’m frequently asked,
“How do you grow your business?”
There is no exact recipe,
but I believe there are three key ingredients:
- Do what you enjoy
- Be yourself
- Be present
It’s easy to attract people
when we are doing activities that bring us joy.
An energy and openness exists
and abundance flows.
I love to play tennis, golf, eat, shop, travel and
volunteer.
I have met clients on the tennis court, at wine dinners and
casual lunches, on airplanes and through non-profit organizations.
Recently while combining two favorite
pastimes-eating and shopping,
I met a woman who sold golf clothing (okay- three pastimes).
I attended a ladies vendor luncheon
instead of staying in my office
to make calls or return emails.
A couple of days later,
I received a call to be a guest on a cable TV show
discussing career changes.
As it turns out,
the referral was from my luncheon acquaintance.
People and activity show up when
we are doing what we love.
We are ourselves and fully present
without an agenda, guilt or worry.
When we force ourselves to do the “should”
networking or marketing events,
we are often not as successful at meeting
those who would help our business to grow.
My experience tells me
to go with the flow.
Do what you enjoy and the growth will come.
It’s certainly a lot more fun!!!
