Ep. 7 - Networking as an Introvert

As a self-confessed introvert, walking into a room full of confident networkers is genuinely intimidating. Lucy talks honestly about that - how she prepared, what felt hard, and the slightly unglamorous trick that ended up giving her the best conversations of the whole conference. She also gets into something she wasn’t expecting to feel - what it’s like to be an experienced business owner, but a total beginner in a newer business. Plus the talks that changed how she thinks about sales and webinars, a talk of her own that went sideways, and a pricing decision she’s been going back and forth on for weeks. You’ll learn: * how to network when crowds and small talk genuinely drain you * why feeling like a beginner again isn’t something to worry about * the coffee-station trick that beats walking up to strangers * what to do when a talk doesn’t go to plan * why protecting your energy is part of running a sustainable business This is a public episode.
