DO I REALLY HAVE TIME?
Neither do most people.
You have a business to run. Clients to take care of. Employees, family, deadlines, emails, meetings — and a hundred other things competing for your attention.
So the answer isn't to spend your life networking.
It's to make better use of the time you already have.
You don't need to attend every event.
You don't need to read everything.
You don't need to spend hours on Awepra every week.
You just need to use it intentionally.
START SMALL.
Pick one thing.
Read the latest issue of Impact & Influence Magazine.
Listen to an episode of Impact & Influence Radio while you're driving.
Spend 15 minutes looking through the community and see who you should know.
That's it.
Fifteen minutes can be enough to discover an event, find someone you should meet or learn something that changes the way you look at your business.
USE THE TIME YOU ALREADY HAVE.
You're already driving.
You're already waiting for appointments.
You're already checking your phone.
You're already looking for ideas, information and people who can help move your business forward.
Use some of that time.
A podcast doesn't require you to sit at a desk.
An article doesn't require an afternoon.
Meeting someone at an event doesn't have to become a four-hour commitment.
The goal isn't more time. It's making better use of the time you have.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING.
This is important.
Awepra isn't a checklist.
You don't get more value simply because you clicked on every page or attended every event.
Find what is useful to you and use it.
If events are your thing, attend them.
If learning is your thing, take a Masterclass.
If you want to stay informed, read the magazine.
If you want to hear what other business owners are doing, listen to the radio.
If you're looking for people, start meeting them.
Choose what matters to you.
GIVE IT 30 MINUTES.
If you're still thinking, “I don't have time,” try this:
Give Awepra 30 minutes a month.
Look at the calendar.
Choose one event.
Meet someone new.
Read something useful.
Follow up with one person.
Thirty minutes isn't going to transform your business overnight.
But consistently putting yourself where people, information and opportunities come together can create possibilities you wouldn't have had otherwise.
You don't need more hours in your day.
You just need to stop assuming that getting value requires a lot of them.
