Thursday night this week I attended an
Over40 Networking event. (OMG, you didn't
know I was over 40! That's so sweet of you,
yeah right, lol)

I had a great time, met some very cool
professionals and made some valued connections.

As I headed home at the end of the evening,
a friend stopped me and said "you've been
in the same place all night."

She was right, I'd pretty much stood, almost
rooted, to the same spot all night. People
simply kept walking up and joining the
conversation I was having; or a colleague
would introduce me to someone they knew.

It was a fascinating experience and reminded
me of the value of taking a stand, in this
case literally!

When you are willing to take a stand for what
you believe in, everything that you don't
believe in will fall away.

The moment you are willing to put a stake
in the ground, you'll find your tribe,
your community, and your clients joining you.
(Kind of like they did me on Thursday night.)

They will recognize you taking a stand not
just for yourself but for them as well.

What I noticed was that each of the people
I met shared me with other people because they
could see, hear, and feel my enthusiasm and
unshakeable belief that you are your own
ultimate competitive advantage.

I look first always for how I can connect
people to not only their own greatness but
to the greatness of others to create synergy
and partnership. After all, together we
really do all go farther faster.

Tuesday, January 20, I'm taking a stand
for me and for you, .

If you've already registered, I included you
in this invitation again BECAUSE I want you
to come to the call having given thought to
the BIG QUESTION, "What Do You Stand For?"

Don't worry, you don't have to have your
perfect or final answer, I simply want you
to be thinking about it. This is one of the
cornerstones of your business success and
it is often the piece missing.

Oh, and heads up! I've got a short email
coming your way tomorrow that I've designed
to INSPIRE YOU and LEAD BY EXAMPLE,
so look for it.

It will actually be something you can
model incredibly easily and have fun
creating as a foundational piece of your
business whether you are established
or just starting out.

So, are you in? Share this link with friends,
colleagues, family, and fellow entrepreneurs!

This call scares me, it isn't like any
other I've done before.

I'm done making ripples, I'm out to
make some WAVES!

Hugs,
Melissa

PS. If you aren't sure you can make it,
snag a free seat anyway. There is always
great learning even in the content emails
I send. Let's do this together:
