Confidence
This month, my motivational calendar shows a lovely view of an island, with the following caption:
CONFIDENCE
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt
New business owners who feel intimidated by more experienced entrepreneurs will do well to remember that quote before they head out to networking events. Keep in mind that everyone was new at one time, and although you may not feel you have anything to contribute, this will come with experience.
As an introvert, I never expected networking to become one of my strong points. However, with persistence, along with the support of my friend and colleague Marie Mushing of the Bizepost Network, I find more and more that I’m able to offer information, encouragement, advice, and valuable contacts to the people I meet.
