Let's talk about community!
I just went to my first in-person networking breakfast event where I got to talk to three women who have found success in their businesses. I learned so much about what it means to market yourself to potential clients and I even made a connection with one of these ladies that may prove beneficial to me.
And to think a few hours ago I considered not going.
My mind was filled with anxious thoughts, varying from "they might not like me" to "you're wasting your time." Even still, I decided I had more to lose by not going than going and deciding that the group wasn't for me. Truth be told, I was q u a k i n g in my boots before I got there, but doing it scared is much better than not doing it altogether. Or doing it alone, which brings me to the point of this post.
I was always a DIY girl-- I felt uncomfortable asking for help for fear of taking advantage of my community. But business and freelance would be impossible without at least a little help. I mean, the whole point of this damn app is to connect with people for business purposes.
As it turns out, regardless of how talented you may be, it's all about connection, and that's the purpose of having a community like Word Tonic. Even if we're not talking business, we're still there to support each other-- in creativity and in life overall.
You can't do it alone, but more importantly, you shouldn't have to do it alone. In the words of High School Musical, we're all in this together.
