End of July - networking

so July is finishing, my clients are thank God cool people who usually become friends and we get to go out in group with my Latino and various friends. It is good I think to keep a network of clients and possible ones around. It is important to go out and meet new people. I have learned, and it was against my being-comfortable nature, that you need to be a sociable person, to engage in conversations and to follow up (VERY IMPORTANT) on people you meet. At least here in the city (=New York City) you can meet interesting people Everywhere, you have no idea where. Example:

The other day I was having tacos with a friend in Chipotle and she goes outside to talk on the phone; a drunk guy comes to my table and sits where she was sitting, his friend tries to pull him "he's drunk, I'm sorry" and the drunk guy starts talking to me, we chat for a bit, nice guy, was there with his and his friend's family, wife, kids, grammas, etc.. big Indian family. after some time my friend comes back and she is surprised, but all cool, we keep talking, then he goes back to his family's tables not before we exchange cards. I emailed him 2 days after, (he was vice-president of a networking company :D) and he emails back, we keep in touch from time to time... the coolest thing!

So it's always good—even more—,necessary, to keep your business cards with you at all times: Keys, wallet, metro card, business cards, cellphone. Necessary. when you go to play soccer, go to grab something to eat or to the restaurant, even more when you go out to a party or barbecue. Always.

Right now I have 2 clients going and 2 more on a "waiting for info list" but is ok. I should always have 2 clients at 1 time, apart from a 9 to 5 job. Which... hopefully will become a full time and have insurance again, and peace of mind, while I adventure myself in more fun and risky projects. as part of my organization process in my office/corner at home, I bought a mesh file cart at the Container Store, and a board. So many things I have on mind to organize and let my business grow tall and not from a small pot that would affect the growth..

Well, and also I Am keeping the colors for the brand on RED, bright green like the post side background, and dark (70%) grey. Now I only need to design the logo... mm.. and the site.. well, I have time.

that's all for now, soon to write more. too many things on my head have to be here. aviento.
