I have had more than one person question, “Why would you leave an area, where you have 22 or 40 years of connections to start over?”.I have asked myself that question a few times. The only answer I could give was, “It was time!”

The key thing I am looking for is to find the connectors who can help me find places to plug in and prove my value before I start looking under rocks for new business. In the B2b world, networking relationships can take years to bear fruit. I have to bear in mind that I have plenty of time to forge ahead into the abyss and abundance of new and unknown relationships.

We have all heard the analogy of the cobbler whose kids have holes in their shoes. As an author, speaker, and relationship marketer, I have to act as if I’m somebody outside myself, watching me practice what I preach. That can be really hard with all the excitement of NEW… New places, New people, and New things (like food) to experience.

In this episode, I will talk about how I am experiencing things through a new set of eyes, and how I need to introduce myself through a new set of “I”s!
