Today's Goal: Expand Networking

This morning, I was dreading what I knew I had to do for the day: networking. As a young person, I love interaction with others. Though, I have trouble talking to people who are much older/more educated than I. I definitely feel inferior to them but had to overcome that fear. I went to local businesses today, giving them courtesy buckets of peaches, talking a little business, and moreover thanking them for supporting Strawberry Hill since it opened in Gaffney. I had the opportunity to meet five different managers, who all appeared to be in their mid 30s. It was not as scary as I thought it would be. I actually was impressed with how well I interacted with them, and felt like I represented Strawberry Hill in a positive manner. Even though I just sell produce, I have learned that it takes a lot more to be successful in this business besides having great fruit. Building your business takes interacting with others positively and never being satisfied enough to stop pushing for improvements. You can't stay at the top if you aren't fighting to be there.
