Go out and party!

Posted by Shoshana 
· Wednesday, May 28th, 2014 

I wanted to post a quick one before I have to run around today.  Last night, I ended up going to two gatherings.  The first was a goodbye party for a friend who is moving back to England.  The second was a Meetup group for bloggers, my first so I could meet new people and learn new ideas for blogging.

Both gatherings had good food, beverages, and most of all, good people!  I met some thoughtful, passionate people at both places.  It turned out to be an evening that verified what I have been talking about this entire time.

Building relationships is the best way to build support for you.  You can meet people in expected and unexpected ways.  Take the initiative and find the expected avenues for meeting like-minded souls.

In either case, when you do meet people that you click with, follow up, and build the next moment together.  Take the time to, well, take the time with people.  You won’t regret it!

Cheers to happy and loyal audiences,
Shoshana

“I booked a series of phone sessions with Shoshana because I think in order for record companies and booking agents to take us seriously we need to have a certain number of fans that we have a great relationship with who consistently come to our shows. Shoshana helped me to channel certain hazy focuses I had into more solid avenues. I also learned more about my goal, what we really want to do with our music, and how we want to affect people. We are now building a relationship by finding out what people like and want so we can see through their eyes. Shoshana’s sessions were fantastic- she followed up and she even helped promote!” —Chantelle Tibbs
