Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I’m so excited. You’re listening to episode 141 of the Email Sound Booth podcast. You already know. This is our entrepreneur affirmations, and today we’re gonna do some networking. So I hope you find peace and pride in all the bricks you’ve laid this week. I hope this helps settle in like always.
This might be, you know, four or five minute thing. I’m gonna say the affirmation. You say it back to yourself out loud in your head. It’s up to you. I won’t know unless you tell me. If you’re watching on YouTube, you could tell me in the comments. That would be awesome. I would love to know, actually. And as always, pay attention. Which ones give you pause? Which ones make you hesitant? Maybe journal on that a little bit. Maybe spend a couple extra minutes after this episode airs, you know, to think about, why is this one unsettling to me? What do I need to change? Right?
Okay, settle in. You ready? I’m so ready. I’m so excited because. Side note, I’m so excited because collaborations have changed the game for me. They’ve been really the biggest way I’ve grown, the only way I’ve grown, really, is by linking arms with other entrepreneurs and helping each other. We. We’ve got to do collabs. I know it can seem like, oh, you know, I don’t want to just, you know, be friends with someone and then ask them for something that’s sleazy.
So let’s change our mindset around that because you hold so much value, and you may be the one holding the key to someone else’s growth. So yay. I’m so excited. All right, let’s get into it. You ready? Okay.
Collaboration creates growth for me and the people I connect with. I bring value to every conversation, not just a request. The right people will be delighted to work with me. Networking is not about taking. It’s about building something together. I can need something and be authentic at the same time. The connections I am making are powerful. Partnerships are how big things get done. And I am ready for big things.
The right connections feel natural. I don’t have to force this. My next breakthrough could be one conversation away. I’m not bothering people. I’m inviting them into growth. My best looks different every day.
Oh, my gosh, friend. These are so good, aren’t they? Please, if you need to listen to this episode again, skip to the 1:50 mark. I think that’s when I start the affirmations. Anyway, I love these so much. I love them for you. I am so excited for our Networking for Collabs List Building Challenge coming up June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. It’s going to go up for sale for $33 next week. But this is not a sales pitch. This is about you.
Because whether or not you join the list building challenge or whatever, networking really can be, like, the secret ingredient to your success. But it all starts with your mindset. Starts with knowing that you have something valuable for someone else. And collaborations are so, so cool. I can’t wait to see what you do with all this, what you do with your new mindset.
As always, I’m Liz Wilcox. You are so capable. I’m rooting for you. I feel your success in my bones, friend.
