    Are you GROSS? (Here's the solution!)

    June 4, 2010
  • Be honest. How many networking events have you been to where it's one giant pitch fest with people shoving their business cards in your hand faster than you can say "No thanks"?

    I get it. I've been to a lot of those events. And to be honest, they feel GROSS.

    In fact, I've been so grossed out recently, that I had to figure out why.

    Here's what GROSS means to me...

    Getting
    Really
    Offended
    by
    Selfish
    Selling

    You know what I'm talking about, right?

    Are you really offended, too?

    I've been traveling the country and speaking to a lot of different groups. And I gotta be honest. I've met some GROSS people.

    I've met from GREAT people, too!

    During my travels, I realized where being GROSS comes from.

    It comes from living in lack, scarcity, and fear.

    It comes from a dark scary place inside that says "If you don't get your next client in the next five minutes, you suck!"

    Imagine how GROSS that must feel!

    I don't want to be GROSS. And neither do you.

    That's why I'm declaring a stop to the GROSS-ness and making June officially un-GROSS.

    I'll still go to networking events. But I'll make it my mission to ONLY meet, mingle, connect, and create lasting relationships with my fellow un-GROSS women.

    Who's with me? Let's make June an un-GROSS month!
