The Boom in Boomer Networking with Elaine Ingis
Today is the day that I’m going to make “that” connection – to develop that mutually beneficial relationship - to drive my business and thoughts to that place of continued success. Today Is The Day I Network, yet again.
Up early, sharing a cup of coffee with my computer and phone which always seems to get in the way regardless of which side of the computer I put them. I am fortified and now ready to talk, charm, cajole, inform, educate and/or simply act as a cheerleader for my project, soon to be their project.
If it were only that easy! As a believer of positive thoughts and an advocate of constant “on the go”, I believe that high energy is not just defined by your power bars, it is a state of mind. Every day is new – every day is filled with original possibilities. If you’ve been reading my blog, SrMeetUp!, you’d know that “possibilities” is one of my favorite words. You would also know that, although I believe is positive motion, I am a realist and know that it is not easy. How can you keep moving toward constructive objectives when your emotions are low because of various forces outside your control – I can give you a list of outside forces but let’s say the economy is 1thru 7 with family and friends taking up the rest of the top ten.
So how can you remain upbeat, confident? You simply have no choice! You are a winner and that’s what winners do. They keep moving and networking. I promise you, that positive action will ultimately bring rewards. Use common sense – stay stagnant and absolutely nothing will happen – throw enough against the wall and – well, you know Forrest Gump as well as I do.
What you may not know about me is that I am the originator of “Essie’s Pearls” – (don’t ask). When I have those days, I pull out a pearl (of wisdom) Picture this – (no, not Sicily) NYC– you are beginning an exciting project. You are filled with expectations, armed with a list of people to call, supported by friends and colleagues – Great Idea – can’t fail. You start walking through the tunnel and all is well at least for a while. The further you go into the tunnel, the darker it gets. When you are in the middle, you can’t see the light from behind or the light that, intellectually we know, is ahead. How easy it is to forget our initial excitement – how easy to get consumed by the dark. But you keep moving forward and when you see the light up ahead - FINALLY – WOW that’s the best.
I can't tell you when or how it will take, but I am confident that success will be yours as long as you keep networking and MOVING.
