Love Yourself - IT MATTERS

 

June / 2011

Two years ago I founded the Princeton Canal Walking Group. We walk along the Princeton Canal on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings and between 10 to 20 people join the walk.

Tuesday, May 31st the temperature was in the high 90s during the day and I was thinking of canceling our walk. As usual my day got away from me and realized an hour before we were to meet, I never cancelled the walk. No way could I get in touch with everyone in such short notice.

My "Gremlin" was at work all the way to the park where we were to meet. Telling me it was too hot to walk, no one was going to show up and I wasted gas driving to meet them.

As I pulled into the parking lot there were two other people waiting for me. I guess we were walking.

We started off slowly and to our amazement it was comfortable as there are bodies of water on each side of the path and the trees provided shade.

We enjoyed our walk and completed the 3 mile walk in less than an hour.

What I learned from this situation is not to make a judgment call beforehand. Take the risk and see what develops.

Please share with the Love Yourself - It Matters! Community the times you took a risk and were pleasantly surprised.

Helen's Monthly Biz Tip

I was invited to a Bank Opening Celebration and to my surprise the author Mary Higgins Clark was the special guest speaker.

I walked into the bank and looked for the people I usually see at networking events. No one was there. I put a smile on my face, walked over to the first person I saw and introduced myself. Within minutes a group of us were talking and waiting to meet the famous Mary Higgins Clark.

Mary got up to speak, told us about her life and passion for writing mystery novels. By sharing with us in such a comfortable way the energy in the room was warm and friendly.

It struck me that when we speak in front of a group we can just share who we are and discuss our passion. The room will automatically light up.

When she finished speaking even though we were standing around waiting for her to sign her recent book for us, we all started talking to each other.

Everyone was relaxed and shared about the different books we were reading. Eventually, the conversations turned to our businesses and people started sharing about them in a more relaxed way. We were building relationships instead of looking for business.

The moral of the story is you can be yourself, relaxed and have fun at networking events instead of going to them with an agenda for finding clients.
