I realize it will be different for everyone and depends on many factors but I would like to hear about how everyone "busted out of their circle" and about how long it took? By busting out of your circle I am referring to finding business with people you don't already know first hand like family, friends or neighbors.
I am finding it difficult to "bust out". I am trying and I know I could probably be more aggressive, like at Spring Launch, the comparison of Anna-Aggressive, Jenna-Just-Right and Polly-Passive. I probably fall more in line with a Polly-Passive with a nice mix of Jenna-Just-Right. I am getting support from family but it is definitely more obligatory support and not genuine enthusiasm. So some things just are not within my comfort level when I know people are only helping because I asked. Like my sister-in-law, she hosted a party and only one person came besides my mom and my mother-in-law. She was a pissed that other people didn't come but since she didn't even really want to have a party I think that was conveyed to her friends and then they didn't want to drive all the way out. Does that make since? I guess I feel that I have yet to find anyone who really even wanted to have a party. The economy here in Michigan is not good, as it a lot of places I know, but money is tight, I think that has some to do with it too. Maybe I am too impatient, my director has been very encouraging and supportive of the work and steps I have taken, does it just take some time?
Enough of my rambling- tell me about you! What was your experience like for "busting out"?
