I recently went to an event hosted by one of my favorite women empowerment agencies called Savoir Collab. They really are great and you should most definitely sign up to their newsletter and attend their events which most are free and super fun and knowledge filled! Not to mention so inspirational! Simply go to savoiragency.com to sign up!
The event I attended was a panel with 4 women running their own business and discussing what it means to " unlock your tribe" You are probably wondering where am I going with this? Well it's quite simple. What it means is utilizing your network for their resources and trading services with friends or people you know. For Example, if you are an aesthetician and your friend is a make up artist you swap services without exchanging a fee. Kind of like a trade. Always try to be fair in your trade and make sure that both people are happy with what they're getting. Tapping into your own network is always the first thing you should do before reaching outside to other vendors. First of all you will be saving $, this is especially great for those starting their own business and you're also supporting your friends as the same time.
The other aspect of this is to also share your network contacts with others. This is a theory I like to call " if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." Refer your friends to others for their services and needs and help them grow their business. Don't be an ego driven bitch that wants all the success to herself. That's just selfish and gross! Share what you know and who you know and others will do the same for you! End of the day we all want to grow and elevate ourselves! A tribe is always a better support system than just you by yourself! This of course is in reference to work related topics only. So go out there and expand your horizons and share share share!
