As we were driving to the interview, he said to me “it is all in who you know.”
This past Tuesday I attended the kick off of Team Women San Antonio, TX. And I saw the wonderful power of people coming together and supporting each other. Here is what happened.
There was a realtor there, Agatha, who had debated on whether or not to attend. Her core profession was already filled. She decided to come anyway and learn what Team Women was all about. Her husband’s cousin collects state quarters.
Sitting next to her was a new member, Susan, who is a graphic artist. Susan was sharing she is one of 23 artists who are commissioned by the US Mint to design new quarters. Susan pulled her latest design out of her purse to show us. It was the new
Agatha was totally impressed and asked where she could get one. Susan explained often new quarters do not make it into circulation since the collectors buy all of them. She asked Susan where she could get on and Susan said “you can have this one and handed it to Agatha.” The word which came to mind watching Agatha’s face was AGOG! She was totally excited and thanks Susan over and over.
Now maybe it is just me, but I believe a relationship was formed there. And the next time Agatha needs any graphic services, any guess who she will call? I share this today because it is just one example of women helping women which is the goal of Team Women.
Keep networking and you never know what may come your way!
In the September ezine I shared a technique for goal setting I learned from the book “The Four Hour Work Week.” Here are the steps and I am practicing them to see for myself how they work:
I am going to share a method the author gives to ensure you meet your goals:
1. Pick one of the three goals you have chosen.
2. Write it at the top of a piece of paper.
3. Choose one step you can take now to move you closer to that goal and do it immediately.
4. Choose a second step you can take in the next 24 hours and do it by 11 am tomorrow.
5. Choose a third step you can take in the next 24 hours and do it by the following day by 11am.
6. When this is done, choose three more steps and repeat them.
I also said one of my goals was to blog regularly (at least twice weekly) and I am going to share how I am using this method to accomplish this goal.
Goal: At least two blog posts weekly to the Team Women Blog
1. Have date added to blog for accountability- sent email to web person to add date function. In the meantime, I will add date to my post.
2. Write a blog post about visit to Team Women Henry County this week – done and will be posted this evening.
3. Go on record with this goal by posting this commitment on the blog itself. – done and will be posted by Thursday.
Try this method of goal setting and let me know how it works for you. It is about taking small steps very quickly which add up to getting you there!
Cheers,

The meeting was held in a gorgeous private room at Heritage Bank. One of the tellers, is Founding President Lori Bhada’s daughter. Just another example of how it really is “who you know” in getting things done and growing a business.
We had the most amazing group of women and I am looking forward to welcoming them all to the TEAM! Thanks ladies for your wonderful Southern Hospitality.
