Dear ,
When I was 21, I got exposed to the world of personal development and entrepreneurship.
3-4 times a week, for a few hours each time, I'll be hanging out with both entrepreneurs in their 50s + young driven peers who are side-hustling while studying. Their though processes rubbed off on me.
At that point in time I was too young to know how to think for myself. So there were times I took good advice that wasn't good for me, and it left me in shambles.
What I've learnt is this: not all good company is good for you. You gotta learn how to think for yourself, build a deep trust with your voice, so you can naturally curate the communities you enter.
First and foremost, I needed to do this: To give myself permission to prioritise my safety and joy over any "business"/practical benefits.
With that foundational understanding, I then keep these 3 steps in mind.
Step 1: Check in with my Intention(s) for this season. Rank these intentions based on priority.
i.e.
- To meet other founders in X industry, or in X point in their business journey
- To connect with people I vibe with outside my job/ industry
- To meet potential collaborators or community leaders
- To have good conversations that inspire me
- To focus on business goals and growing visibility
Step 2: When an event comes by, I ask myself:
Step 3: How can I bring my best energy to the event?
Based on my intentions, how can I prepare?
- If there are potential business opportunities or collaborators, I’ll practice my self-intro
- If the event is right after a busy work day, I’ll do a short 3 min grounding and breathing exercise so I come into the event light and present
- If it’s more formal business networking, I’ll prepare my state of mind, perhaps think of some perspectives and opinions I could share in discussions
So here's my invitation and ask 💌
Is one of your intentions in this season to:
- Meet other rising leaders who love to connect and potentially collaborate?
- Meet other peeps who have a passion/purpose?
- Gain perspective from other people's experiences?
- Share your story and hear others share theirs?
- or Simply to meet new friends you'd vibe with? (if you're reading this, you'll vibe with the people at this party...)
I'd love to invite you to an upcoming party I'm hosting!
⚡ This party will be a gathering of original thinkers, rising leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, community builders— anyone who has a passion for life and a desire to spread good vibes in their community.
Personally, I've had many serendipitous moments in the past few months in the communities I've joined or created. I met people who simply get me. And I'd love to create an opportunity for you to experience that too!
Yknow, recent conversations reminded me of how blessed I am.
For 4 years now, I haven’t felt too lonely because of the AMAZING friends and communities I’ve had.
I met a few people recently that reminded me of how this is not the norm— having a group of people who support AND challenge/expand you is a blessing not everybody has.
Personally, I experienced my most life-changing shifts when I met that ONE person, at that ONE event, and had that ONE conversation. I may not meet them again, but my life is forever altered for good.
So yes, if this party vibes with you, and you know of a friend or two (or more) who could use that shift in perspective or a community outside of work/their industry… bring them along!
