The Next Person You Meet Could Change Your Life
Description
The best advice I ever got was just six words: "Get out there and meet people!"
A former business advisor nudged me out of my retail shop and into the community over eight years ago. Her words changed my entire life. And today, I hope they change yours too!
No matter what you're seeking: growth, clarity, connection, new friends, next steps, the answer is almost always in the people you meet.
We're all just walking ripple effects, creating more ripple effects.
In this episode, I'm sharing how meeting people has transformed my life and business. You'll learn how:
- Meeting just one person can exponentially increase who you know (Alex Sanfilippo & PodMatch)
- Meeting people creates long-term support systems (Kristy Ouellette of Mickey Guru Travel Company, a decade-long friendship)
- Meeting people transforms who you are and who you're becoming (Karen Kenney, a life-changing podcast guest and now a long-time collaborator and friend)
- Meeting people helps your business grow (Jessica Mercier, mutual collaboration that elevated both our brands)
- Meeting people opens doors you didn't know existed (Melissa Snow of Powerful Women Rising shows how connections can led to unexpected opportunities)
You'll also hear:
- Why we avoid meeting people
- 5 Simple ways to start connecting and building real relationships
- Why showing up is always worth it, even when it's uncomfortable
Next week: You'll hear from all five of these incredible people sharing their insights on increasing visibility through consistency, creativity, collaboration, cohesion, and connection.
The next person you meet could change your life. But you have to meet them to know HOW.
