Stand Out

I was in a new place, surrounded by people I had never met before, it was my turn on the mic so I stood out the best, most positive way I could. I was the only one that made them laugh and that was step one to being memorable. Talking with confidence was step two, and then following up with a personal email for each person I met was the final step.

I know that sounds like a great plan, but it took years for me to devise that plan. My plan worked for me like gang busters last Thursday night at The Hope Scholarship Mix, Mingle, Connect: Speed Networking event. I enjoyed myself, met some awesome fellow small business owners, and donated to a very positive cause. But the key was to devise my own plan to stand out and be memorable.

No matter what you do--graphic design (www.sarra2mariko.com), luxurious skin & hair care (www.belnouvo.com), bbq catering (www.TheQueSmokehouse.com), grant writing (www.SpeignerSolutions.com), youth development (agreen.karmadc@gmail.com), dissertation support (david@usblackchambers.org), secure package delivery (www.peglu.com), reality (www.erickasblack.com) or personal training (MarkieMarkFit@gmail.com) be you...stand out your way...be confident in your skills, mission, and passion. Just remember that we all need help; there is nothing wrong with reaching out for a helping hand sometimes, but don't just take a helping hand...add value, be authentic, and be honest!
