1 Simple action to meeting new people

I wish I knew how many times my teachers in school told me how many times I'd need geometry and algebra in my life, because- I'd love to tell them that they were horrifically wrong.  What I really needed to know, was how to meet new people.
Unfortunately, many people assume going to school is enough to teach you how to meet  new people and socialize. I'm living proof that that is a huge, big fat, enormous- LIE.  You see,  throwing someone into a room full of elephants does not teach you to become an elephant. It teaches you how to be afraid for your life and how to hide and be the mouse. But, just as the mouse is scared of the elephant- the elephant is just as scared of the mouse.
You, little mouse, have great potential!

What people need to really learn in school- is how to meet people. Business especially, is dependent on your skill to meet new people and form relationships!  But as I go along leading men and women into success, I am coming to realize that people really don't know HOW to meet people!

I must admit, when I first started my business, I didn't know how to meet new people either! I was stuck, trapped, inside my comfort zone! I insisted that I didn't have one, but- now- I know I do.
Sometimes meeting new people brings on a lot of anxiety for me. Even calling people on the phone can create a near panic attack for me. I have gone through so much in my life that every new interaction or new call can feel like a confrontation, and I dread hearing "no" or the possibility of rejection. But, now, almost 3 complete years into this journey- I'm learning. There are a lot more willing people than unwilling, if you play your cards right.

So, today I want to teach you the very simple art of "meeting" people.  You are going to be amazed at how simple this is. Whether you are online, or out in the real world it all comes down to this ONE action step.  Just one simple thing.  Ready for it?

Say HELLO.  That's it. I'm serious. It's all about starting a conversation with people! Say hello and then give them a genuine compliment and see where the conversation leads you!  It's REALLY that simple!

Sometimes, you will get a hot new lead, sometimes you make a great new friend and sometimes you will get a hot new success team mate! But you will not progress quickly or maybe not at all if you never open your mouth (or the message box) and start a conversation!

 You don't need to be salesy or pushy at all. Just meet people, be their friend and build your relationships. When the right moment comes, the opportunity will present itself and they will listen, because they trust you.
