There's something to be said for getting outside of your COMFORT ZONE! For the past 4 years, I've used my computer as a way to almost "hide" myself from the outside world. If truth be told, I have a huge fear of networking face to face. I decided that I wanted to get past this fear--not only to grow my business, but to grow as a person.
So, last week I joined a Women in Business organization here locally in Texas to meet other local business owners and network. TOOT TOOT!!! I was SO proud of myself. I was able to easily converse with each that I met and I exchanged business cards with everyone I came in contact with. More importantly, I was finally able to "see" myself as they see me--a business woman! No more thoughts of not being good enough or hiding behind my laptop. This is the start of something GREAT...I can feel it.

Great step to do, Edie!
Happy TT!
That is wonderful - this is only the beginning - I am sure you will meet lots of other women to network with and grow your business.
That is really great. I also have a hard time in those kind of situations. I have two right now that have meetings going on near me and I know I should go to them and probably will...but I am not real comfortable in groups where I walk in not knowing anyone. If I am on a one on one talking about organizing or in a group of strictly bloggers or organizers then I have some comfort, but going into a group of woman and men who are business owners scares me...but I know to grow my business I also must gather it up and just do it! Thanks
