Make Sure the Table You Are Sitting At Celebrates You
This weekend I attended the Global Woman networking event in Kent hosted by Dee Airey, and Global Woman Club it reminded me of something incredibly important:
Make sure the table you are sitting at celebrates you.
Getting there was not easy. In fact, despite several challenges, I almost didn’t go. But I made a deliberate and intentional decision that I was going to attend regardless.
It took me over two hours to get there, but I kept telling myself,
“Better late than never.”
Something interesting happened on the way. The taxi I got into had celebration lights inside it. I could not resist taking pictures because it felt like even the taxi was celebrating me. It made me feel glamorous, joyful, and excited.
It reminded me of an important lesson:
Be intentional about the rooms you step into.
Sometimes the journey to the right room is not easy, but it is always worth it.
The Power of Being in the Right Room
The little time I spent at the event was incredibly inspiring.
Dee Airey was presenting on money mindset, and it really blew my mind. It was such a powerful reminder of why it is so important to be in a room where you are celebrated.
At the event I had the opportunity to pitch what I do, and the level of engagement was amazing. Everyone in the room was there to lift each other up.
That energy matters.
Dee asked a profound question:
“Are the money goals you set at the beginning still the same now?”
It reminded me of something I often say:
"If you can easily achieve your goals, they are not big enough"
Sometimes we must stretch our thinking, especially when it comes to money, growth, and investing in ourselves.
Investing in Yourself Is Not Losing Money
One powerful mindset shift discussed in the room was about how people view investing in themselves.
Many people think that when they pay for coaching, mentoring, or development they are losing money.
But the truth is:
You are not paying someone.
You are investing in receiving value.
Growth requires investment.
And when you value your development, you attract opportunities that expand your life.
Not Everyone Is Your Audience
Dee also shared something extremely important. Some people believe that when they are in a room, they should try to sell to everyone there.
But that is not true.
It does not matter how cheap something is.
If the people in the room are not your market, they will not buy.
She gave a brilliant example. Someone tried to sell her something that cost just £297, and she still didn’t buy it.
Why?
Because she didn’t see the value in it.
This is where understanding your avatar, your ideal audience becomes critical.
You could be selling to millionaires, but if they are not your audience, they will not buy from you.
But when you are in the right room, where people understand your value, everything changes.
