💵 show up!

I consider myself a little bit of a unicorn.

Know enough tech to be dangerous, but feel like I can communicate fairly well and have decent emotional intelligence which helps on the sales front.

On the other hand, one of my colleagues, a solution architect, is SUPER smart, but needs some help in the social department.

It became very apparent when we both went to dinner with one of our clients (in my 9-5) last night.

All in all, he did just fine.

We built relationships and had a good time with our client.

It was funny though when I spoke to my techie colleague today who wanted to “debrief” after the dinner.

“I know I was a bit rusty…”

“I’m not sure what we wanted to achieve…”

I quickly re-assured him that 90% of business is simply showing up.

And we did.

We talked a little shop but mostly just acted like normal human beings.

And I know additional work will head our way when the client is ready.

So how about you, are you showing up?

Play the decade game with me.

To your solopreneur success,
