This morning, I didnโt feel like going for my walk, but I pushed myself and completed my 5km walk. When I returned, I took a shower, made myself some tea and opened my laptop.
For almost four hours, I was just stuck. I felt lazy, unmotivated and completely out of place.
But today is the 31st of Augustโthe final day of the monthโand I knew I needed to follow up with the valuable connections I made at the Standard Bank Top Women EmpowHER events.
Guys, when you attend a business event, please donโt make it all about taking beautiful pictures and enjoying the fancy food. The pictures may be lovely, but ๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ข๐ก๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐ข๐ฉ๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฆ.
You can always prepare nice food for yourself at home. ๐
Leave the event with at least one meaningful connection. Personally, I would rather leave with three genuine connections than collect 30 numbers from people I may never contact again.
I donโt take someoneโs number or email address just for the sake of collecting contacts. If I take your details, it means I see a possible connection between usโand I am definitely going to follow up.

It is now 5:30 PM, and I am finally starting to feel alive again. ๐ Today, I sent three important emails and one WhatsApp message to the valuable connections I made during August.
The day may have started slowly, but at least I have ended the month by moving something forward.
I believe in ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก, supporting one another and growing together.
