The Small Business Community Network (SBCN) wants you to be successful every step of the way! Business networking whether it's in person or virtual is a valuable asset to build your connections, trust, visibilty, brand and revenue.
Virtual networking is here to stay, long after #Covid19 has been defreated! When networking virtually you are inviting someone into your home. Whether you have a dedicated home office space or work via the kitchen or bedroom, portraying a professional look and feel pays off big time.

During our recent "virtual" monthly networking session, I spoke for PowerUp on managing through this time of disruption. From my notes, I have written this article.

I am the President of Motivational Steps and recently I have been experimenting with live streaming my converations with various busines people.
When trying something new I am little bit nervous, and I am very lucky to have the support and help of my business partner/husband. Saying that
nothing seems to work the first time. That's OK though, don't let it put you off.

I came up with the idea to start my own business just months after I had been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. Unfortunately I had to have both my breasts removed.
Becoming a motivational speaker was not easy, but I persevered and here I am now.
Over the years I have faced many more challenges, and because of this I have discovered how reslient I am.

At the February, 2020 Monthly SBCN Networking Event, the notion of motivation came up several times.
It reminded me of a sales analogy that I used when I was in the field coaching sales representatives. That analogy revolved around a garden hose and the characterisitcs of the flow out of the hose when you turned the tap on and off.

You are at a networking event or business conference and you are in a conversation with someone you just met and feeling trapped. You do not want to be rude, but you want to have conversations with others in the room. What do you do? How do you diplomatically and gracefully end the conversation?
