Herding Cats

I am a bit of a multi-tasker. I don’t sit still that much unless it is to sit at the computer where I have multiple windows open and I am working on several things at once.

I have heard people say that one should focus on one thing at a time to accomplish much, but I dare them to try to keep up with me on an average day. I get a lot done. I love to write blogs, emails, newsletters and books and I stay up late into the night creating marketing material. I go to a lot of meetings. I speak at functions. I balance plates on straws while juggling balloons and I put 70,000 km on my car every year as I do it. Why? Because I love it!

I love being with people. Networking is my thing. I totally enjoy meeting different people from different backgrounds and now thanks to Donna Dahl I am actually remembering their names. How awesome is that?

When Craig Chandler first told me that he wanted to get out of running networking clubs he said it was because “it is like herding cats.” I think he meant that it was a lot to do with all of the meetings and all of the people but it made me smile because one of my favorite all time videos is about herding cats. And this is something that may be difficult to some but I am just like that cowboy in the video rounding them up, I am happiest when I am out on the range doing my thing.

There is a lot of work in making a business network run. We are developing material, getting contests in place, preparing the marketing, automating the follow-up systems, shaking hands, coordinating staff, meeting the people, making connections…

But... it’s actually a lot of fun and we are getting a lot done in a short time. I enjoy herding cats.
