If you ever want to make an introvert feel like they want to die, throw her into a room full of people trying to talk to her. Any other introvert out there will agree with me on that! Which brings me to the story of my first ever in-person networking event… I’d been working with my coach for just a few weeks. I hired her because I was brand new to the coaching industry, and although I knew A LOT about business and making money online, I knew nothing about the coaching industry or how to make money teaching people everything I knew about business. Although I didn’t have the money, I hired her anyway (thanks, Visa, for the loan!) because I know that only stupid people say NO to something they know they need. Sure, I could have figured it out on my own. I didn’t NEED a coach. Except, I wanted to get known and make money VERY FAST. Which meant – I needed someone to help me do that. So I hired my coach. And one of the first things she told me to do? Go to a networking event so people get to know who you are. *cue internal screaming* I tried to get out of it. I gave as many excuses as I could. I said I’d do ANYTHING ELSE, just please not this, don’t make me do this!! But – She said I needed to do it. She said it would help. She said it wouldn’t be “that bad”. Easy for her to say; she wasn’t the one that was being told to...
