Key Takeaways:

1. Embrace Nervousness as Excitement:

  • Nervousness is natural, but it can also be reframed as excitement.

  • Recognize the physiological responses of nervousness and tell your brain you're excited.

  • Use nervousness as an icebreaker when meeting new people at events.

2. Attend with a Friend:

  • If you're nervous about attending alone, bring a friend or colleague.

  • Choose someone who complements your personality and can provide mutual support.

  • Plan to spend time apart to make new connections and then regroup.

3. Find Quiet Pockets for Recharge:

  • Look for quieter moments during events to recharge if you're introverted.

  • Many events have designated spaces for focused learning, which can be less overwhelming.

  • Use these moments to observe, reflect, and dip your toes into networking gradually.

4. Allocate Post-Event Self-Care Time:

  • After attending an event, plan downtime for self-care and reflection.

  • Extend childcare arrangements or delegate responsibilities to allow for a smooth transition back to regular life.

  • Take time to process what you've learned and who you've met.

5. Working On Your Business vs. In Your Business:

  • Entrepreneurship involves both working in and on your business.

  • Constantly working in the business may hinder growth and scalability.

  • Events offer inspiration, connections, and the opportunity to work on your business by gaining insights and strategies for growth.

6. The Value of In-Person Energy:

  • In-person events offer a unique energy and connection with like-minded individuals.

  • The collective enthusiasm of attendees can be motivating and memorable.

  • It's akin to experiencing a live concert versus simply listening to an album; the live experience is incomparable.

Attending in-person events as an entrepreneur can provide unmatched inspiration, networking opportunities, and personal growth experiences. Embrace the nervousness, plan for self-care, and leverage the energy of these events to propel your business forward.

transcript

[00:00:00] Danielle: Welcome back to the Business Babes Collective podcast. I'm really excited about this episode today. This is going to be a fun, chatty episode with myself and Taylor Aller, who, if you've been a longtime listener of the podcast, you will recognize that name because she's been on the podcast several times already.

[00:00:17] Danielle: I think you currently hold the most times on the podcast record so far. So hopefully you're honored on that. Yes. But I'm really excited because today we're going to be talking all about in person events. So you all know that I'm very passionate about this topic and I'm like, Hey, I could talk about this literally forever, but I'm like, I'm going to bring someone else on as well, who has also not only attended.

[00:00:43] Danielle: but also hosted and spoken at a lot of in person events. So I would love to just chat about this topic, about why is it important to put in person events on your calendar as like a business building activity? [00:01:00] Because I think that often gets pushed to the back burner, especially if you consider yourself an introvert.

[00:01:06] Danielle: Which our guest today considers herself an introvert. You might not believe her when she says that, but um, we're going to talk about that. Like what, What do you do as an introvert when it comes to attending events? Why do, why is it important to build your business? What are the benefits of doing that?

[00:01:23] Danielle: And then also like, how can you prep yourself? How can you. Prep your mind, prep before, and also prep the time after to take in everything. So let's just dive in. Before we do that though, can you give everyone a quick intro into who you are and what you do? Yes. Thanks again for

[00:01:45] Taylor Aller: having me again, I guess I'm so honored to be on so often.

[00:01:48] Taylor Aller: Thank you. Hey everyone. My name is Taylor. I've been on the podcast many times before. I am a multi potential light. So that is somebody who does many things. Currently I practice as a registered massage therapist. I do [00:02:00] business consulting one to one, I am a speaker, a college educator, and a bunch of other things.

[00:02:05] Taylor Aller: And most recently a mom of two. So that is taking up a lot of my brain. Right now. And I'm super happy to be here. I can't wait to chat about events because I agree with Danny. I think they're business game changers and with COVID and everything else that happened, all of that stuff got sidetracked.

[00:02:19] Taylor Aller: And not only is it fun to get together in person, but I think it's a very strategic and potent business strategy

[00:02:25] Danielle: too. So good. Before we dive into all the things, events, if you want to learn more about who is, which I highly recommend you do. Cause she's awesome. You can listen to episode 114. We had her on the podcast at the beginning of the year, and she talked all about how to land speaking opportunities, so if that's something you're interested in, definitely take a listen to that episode.

[00:02:46] Danielle: We'll link it in the show notes as well, so you can go ahead and go there. And Taylor, you've been a part of our community for several years, basically since the beginning. You've been a part of the Mastermind, you've attended... So many of our [00:03:00] events. And so I would just love to hear from you.

[00:03:03] Danielle: How have events been important for you in building your business as an entrepreneur? Oh,

[00:03:09] Taylor Aller: they've been, I would say it's probably one of the top three. Probably top three activities in building my business, especially because most of the time in business, it's not what, you know, it is almost always who, you know, and that sucks to say a lot of people think that business is gatekept and it's very hard to grow your business to network, to scale.

[00:03:32] Taylor Aller: A lot of these things involve. Other people. It involves learning from other people, connections to other people, hiring other people, working with other people, booking other people, clients are your people. So all of those center around people and getting into a community yourself is what I think is number one.

[00:03:49] Taylor Aller: So something like a mastermind or a coach or even a friend, but right after that, it's attending other events. Getting to know other business owners because not only is that going to be very beneficial for you, you're going to [00:04:00] be able to learn about different topics, whatever that event is about, but you're going to connect with other people who have done this before.

[00:04:05] Taylor Aller: And often business is not reinventing the wheel. It's about finding somebody who you align with and asking them questions. How did you do that? Would you be open to mentoring me? Can I learn from you? And often I think the best way to make those relationships is in person. Sometimes we forget how potent saying hi in person is.

[00:04:23] Taylor Aller: When you think about sending a DM, it's like a three out of ten on the anxious scale. Maybe like a six out of ten if it's somebody you're really like frothy over. But if you saw that person live standing in front of you, that becomes like a hundred out of ten. And guess what? It's received a hundred out of ten.

[00:04:40] Taylor Aller: How much is receiving a DM important to you rather than somebody coming up and saying, Hi, my name is Taylor. I'm a huge fan of your work. I would

[00:04:47] Danielle: love to ask you a

[00:04:48] Taylor Aller: question that is like way more powerful. You are absolutely going to get that answer right in person, rather than a DM getting lost or an email getting lost.

[00:04:56] Taylor Aller: So go to where the people are that are doing what it is you want to do. [00:05:00] And that is in events that is in person. Even if you're an introvert like me. I'm telling the truth. I am. I'll give you some tips on what I do to prepare for events like this. But um, yeah, it's absolutely crucial because business is almost always who you know.

[00:05:14] Danielle: So good. I actually just had a flashback as you were talking about this. So when I was first getting started in hosting events, I remember there was a few key people that we're just killing it in our local city, which is Vancouver. And I remember thinking, okay, I really want to have those people a part of our events.

[00:05:32] Danielle: I want to have them speak at our events. I want to have them a part of it. Somehow, right? And so, you know, I did exactly what you were saying, Taylor, connecting with them online um, started to kind of build relationships and, you know, that was working. And, you know, a few people that I connected with online slid into their DMS, asked them if they'd be willing to meet for coffee or connect or see how they could be a part of what we were doing.

[00:05:54] Danielle: And a few of them said yes, which was so awesome. Started to build those connections and. There was this [00:06:00] one person that I was like, man, I really want to have her speak at one of our events. And I had emailed her, I had sent a DM, I had done all the things.

[00:06:09] Danielle: I was like showing up online, like commenting on her stuff, everything. And she had responded and things like that, but it just, it wasn't happening. Like I wasn't able to get her as one of our speakers or even just a part of our own, one of our events. And I remember attended. I attended this other event that I actually didn't even know she was going to be at.

[00:06:28] Danielle: So I just attended this other entrepreneurial event and I was networking and obviously connecting with people. And then I see her from across the room and I was like, Oh my gosh, Kate, I have to talk to her. And I was so nervous, Taylor. Like I was nervous. So I was like, I just have to. And so she actually ended up leaving the room and going out.

[00:06:50] Danielle: And so I was Try not to be creepy, but I found her and I was like, Hey I've been following [00:07:00] you online for a very long time, all the anyways. So long story short, she ended up saying yes on the spot to be a part of one of our events. And if I like, I had not. Seen her in person and asked her just like been bold and just been like, Hey, I want you to be a part of one of our events.

[00:07:16] Danielle: She was like, Oh yeah. Like, I I've seen your emails or I've seen your comments or whatever. I would love to, I love to be a part of something like send me an email, let's make it happen. So anyways, just wanted to say that because it. It is so different when you meet people and connect with people in person.

[00:07:31] Danielle: There's just something about it. It takes it to a new level. It takes that relationship from, you know, one or two or three to like, uh, eight, nine, 10 potential. Yes. A hundred

[00:07:41] Taylor Aller: percent. And it gives you another reason to follow up online. Hey, I saw you at the business based event. It was so great chatting with you.

[00:07:48] Taylor Aller: Tell me where you got your purse. Also, when we mentioned blah, blah, blah, this is, I just want to follow up. I want to circle back and touch base. And when the next event comes, Hey, are you planning to go again? Because the other side bonus of [00:08:00] not only all the business things, and this is what I love about your community, Danny, is that the business is almost come second to the fact that it's about building relationships and really.

[00:08:09] Taylor Aller: Championing each other and cheering each other on and when you get to do that in person and you get to see somebody and actually tell them, Hey, I've been a huge fan of your work. If you don't know every time you post that thing or you send that email and I read it and it matters to me, that feels

[00:08:24] Danielle: So good to say

[00:08:25] Taylor Aller: it also feels really good to receive and this isn't just what you're giving if you go up to the event and give the opportunity other people to come up to you, you get to find your next hire, you get to find the next contractor you're going to work with this is where all of those people get to approach you to and maybe you're the one they're running after and it's so good you're there because then they got the chance to actually run after you and say hey.

[00:08:46] Danielle: So I love that story. I can just picture you like hustling. I know. Yeah. And I, okay. So I want to, I also want to talk about the reality of how it is nerve wracking. It is scary [00:09:00] to attend an event where you don't know if you're going to know anyone. You don't know if you're going to connect with anyone or if you're going to be the person in the corner of the room that no one else is talking to you.

[00:09:09] Danielle: Like it can be scary. And I say this all the time, but I Host events, build community as a business. And I get nervous going into a room where I know I'm not going to know anyone. I have butterflies in my stomach. So it's not just you. If you feel like Oh, it's so easy for other people to network. It's so easy for other people to build relationships and go to these events.

[00:09:32] Danielle: I can guarantee you that. Most, if not all of the people in the room are just as nervous as you are. So let's talk a little bit about that. So Taylor, I'd love to know for you as an introvert, what. Do you get nervous going to events? What do you do to prepare yourself? Like, how do you take that step to be like, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to go, I'm going to have a good time.

[00:09:55] Danielle: I'm going to, muster up my courage to talk to someone new. Tell me. Okay.

[00:09:59] Taylor Aller: [00:10:00] So I have three things come to mind. First, exactly what you said. I'm not going to fight the fact that I'm going to be nervous. Because I'm gonna be and I've done speak. I've got a TED Talk. I've performed internationally as a dancer.

[00:10:13] Taylor Aller: I've done lots of things that require me to be nervous. And the biggest trick is that in your body, the feeling of nervousness is like sweaty palms. My armpits start pouring sweat, my mouth gets dry, my heart races, I'm breathing a little faster. And that physiological response with nervousness is the exact same as excitement.

[00:10:34] Taylor Aller: So I tell my brain, I'm excited, not nervous. I'm excited. I'm not nervous. I'm excited. I'm not nervous. And it works like 60% of the time, which I'll take those odds, right? So when I start to feel like, Oh my gosh, my shirt is sticking to my armpits. I don't want to shake anyone's hand. I'm, I need a drink.

[00:10:51] Taylor Aller: My lips are sticking to my teeth and I'm like, wow, I'm so nervous. Oh no. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I must be so excited to be here. I must be so [00:11:00] excited to be here. That is number one is I just embrace the nervousness. It's going to happen. And I'm going to see if I can shift my perception on that to turn it to excitement.

[00:11:07] Taylor Aller: The other thing is that's the best icebreaker. I walk up to somebody, I'm going, wow, my armpits are drenched. I'm really nervous. Are you nervous too? My name is Taylor, because I guarantee you their armpits are drenched too, right? And my teeth are sticking to their lips as well. So that's just embrace that nervousness.

[00:11:22] Taylor Aller: It's going to be a part of it. There's no sense in Trying to make that not a part of the experience. And in fact, that actually heightens the experience. Research also shows when we're in that heightened state, time slows down, we absorb better, we remember longer, all of those things become more impactful.

[00:11:36] Taylor Aller: So all of the networking, the learning, the point of you being there is going to become that much more saturated because of your nerves. So it's actually a really good thing. So embrace it, know that it's going to work for you and that everybody else is nervous too. And you can use it as an icebreaker.

[00:11:50] Taylor Aller: The other thing that I do is the very first event I attended, I was not brave enough to go by myself. And. I brought a friend. So hello, you're allowed. You [00:12:00] can bring friends. So I did that. And as an introvert, I brought somebody who's a little bit more outgoing than I am. My girlfriend, Michelle, who's also a business owner, and she's fantastic.

[00:12:08] Taylor Aller: She came with me and the two of us went, we're both introverts, but she's a little bit more. Outgoing than I am. And she's a little bit more approachable than I am. So I just was her wingwoman at the same time as she was my wingwoman. And when somebody approached her for something, then they were also approaching me.

[00:12:22] Taylor Aller: And when they approached me, they also approached her. And that was really nice because then I wasn't alone. You know, I had somebody there with me and, we had an agreement that we'd come together. We'd Force ourselves to spend a little bit of time apart and then we'd come back together. So I always had a friend I can sit beside and all of that.

[00:12:36] Taylor Aller: I know that you also create chats and DM groups and stuff like that before the event. So, you know, If there isn't a friend in your life that is business oriented or willing to go with you, I know that you can always connect with somebody ahead of time and then meet up with them at the event too, that are also going to be nervous that might be there for the first.

[00:12:52] Taylor Aller: And then the other thing I do is because I'm an introvert, I often find little quiet pockets at the event and your events are so fantastic for this [00:13:00] Danny. It's like, you've catered to all types of people because you have these pockets where everybody just gets to focus on a speaker. or learning and I don't have to engage.

[00:13:09] Taylor Aller: I don't have to talk to anybody else. I just get to zone in on what's happening and it's like a little recharge moment. And then we have our networking breaks. You give us our prompts, you know, all of those things. And it becomes a lot of fun. There's also washrooms that I escaped to often when I'm like, Oh, I need a pee break.

[00:13:22] Taylor Aller: And then I'm just going to go there and recharge for a second. There's booths you can wander around. There's little mini pockets to charge your batteries as you're there, if you're an introvert like me. And then it also allows you to kind of. observe before diving in if you're needing that instead of like the running and the canning ball.

[00:13:38] Taylor Aller: If you need to like dip your toes, you can look through the vendors, you can listen to the speakers. And then, you know, eventually by the end, maybe you're connecting to one, two, five. 10

[00:13:47] Danielle: people, right? That's all you need to do. So embrace the nerves,

[00:13:51] Taylor Aller: find those little pockets. And then afterwards I plan nothing.

[00:13:54] Taylor Aller: So I'm a parent, I need childcare. I have to plan for this to happen, to be able to go to these events. I don't [00:14:00] end my childcare right when I get home. I make sure that I extend that childcare, whether it's my partner, my husband, or my family members, somebody is still looking after the kids because I need time to then shower off the stinky sweat to be able to brush my hair out from whatever I've done, get in my comfy clothes, take my bra off, all those things, you know, wind out.

[00:14:18] Taylor Aller: I need that time before I can engage back into my regular life. So depending when that event is, and if you're going home in the evening, plan that time out so that you can take care of yourself. And then it also allows you to reflect on maybe who you've met. You can take those notes. You can.

[00:14:33] Taylor Aller: Write those things down. Even if you're going home, having the commute home being in silence, or when you're in your car or in transit, having a notebook with you, you know, writing some things down before you start driving or as you're going.

[00:14:45] Danielle: Okay. That's so great. I was just actually thinking about something that I often do when I go to other people's events is I have the buffer time. And usually it's Like you said, the drive back or whatever that is, and often what I'll [00:15:00] do is I will.

[00:15:01] Danielle: Hit record on the voice note on my, or like the voice notes or whatever. And I will speak out what I got from the event, some highlights, even if it doesn't like make total sense. Like even if it's just kind of like jumbled ideas or something, I just make sure to like it. Thanks. Um, If you're more of a writer than like absolutely like notebook or whatever that is um, or if you've been, you know, writing notes from the event itself, but I like to speak it out because I'm a very verbal processor and I often like to.

[00:15:34] Danielle: Talk my husband's ear off when I get home, but he's often just like exhausted. So it's it's a great way for me to be able to verbal process by myself. And then I can listen to it after be like, okay, what do I want to actually take away from this or write down? So I love that you said that Taylor, thanks for all those tips.

[00:15:50] Danielle: And yeah. One, one thing to what you said. Yeah, we do. So if you don't have anyone to go with you, if you're going by yourself, I still recommend like [00:16:00] take that. Opportunity to be like, okay, I'm going to even if it feels overwhelming to you to be like, oh, I'm going to meet like five new people just meet one new person when we when you get to the event, there's going to be circular tables.

[00:16:14] Danielle: Meet the person that's sitting next to you, like Taylor said, everyone else that's going to be there is going to be nervous too. You can break the ice by just being like, this is my first event. Have you been to one of these events before? Just start asking questions. Are you nervous too? How did you get here? Exactly. What

[00:16:31] Taylor Aller: brought you to here? You know, all of those, All of those introductory questions.

[00:16:34] Danielle: Yes. Yeah. And you can always leave with a compliment.

[00:16:37] Taylor Aller: Always. That is very accessible.

[00:16:39] Taylor Aller: And the folks in your community are so kind and so nice and so welcoming that the minute you say hi, they will say hi back.

[00:16:49] Danielle: And they're there for the same reason that you're there. To learn, to grow, to connect. So just know that like everyone in the room is a warm, open person. Like person to talk to.

[00:16:59] Danielle: [00:17:00] And yeah, and I think too, like what you said we do create opportunities. So if you are coming by yourself and you do want to connect with people beforehand send us a message or send us an email

[00:17:11] Danielle: and we've actually had, it's really cool. We've had people meet up before the event that are in that chat. And they've actually met up before the event that they can walk in together. Or they've gone for coffee, like even previous like, like on a different day before the event. So it's really cool to see like the connections that happen even before the event even starts.

[00:17:32] Danielle: So that's another. Thing that I think is important to recognize. Okay. I would love to ask what, what do you feel like people can gain from in person events that, because, okay, as entrepreneurs, we're very used to like getting things done, being productive checking things off the list.

[00:17:53] Danielle: And I feel like we are both the type of people who love that stuff. We love checking things off our to do list. We love the [00:18:00] feeling at the end of the day when you feel productive of what you've gotten done for your business. But why do you feel like Attending an event, putting everything to the side like, 'cause I think it's sometimes challenging as an entrepreneur to be like, I'm gonna take a full day off.

[00:18:14] Danielle: Like you said, we are both parents of two kids. , we need to plan ahead of time. It's not just an easy, oh, I'm just gonna attend this. No big deal. Like it's a big deal for us to attend something like this all day. And it's taking us away from being working in our business. . So why do you think that's, important?

[00:18:34] Danielle: Why should we do this? Why shouldn't we just get more stuff done?

[00:18:38] Taylor Aller: Okay. This is this is the real talk here is most businesses do very well at the beginning when you were doing all this stuff in the business, right? When you're wearing all the hats and you're doing all the things and that can become really addictive and that can become almost Like a compulsion, and I know I was stuck in that phase for a long time with many of my businesses where I was the [00:19:00] one doing all the things and I felt like I had to be doing all the things and that it was the best for me to be doing all the things.

[00:19:05] Taylor Aller: So why the heck would I not do them. But this is the glaring part that one is missing. If they choose that avenue, and that is going to be stunting your growth, and it stunted mine until I realized this. And it's simply that your business cannot scale. If you're constantly working in it, you need to be working on it.

[00:19:23] Taylor Aller: And what I mean by that is instead of being in the business all the time, answering emails, providing the service, doing the social media planning and the accounting and the bookkeeping, like all the endless to do list, nobody is working on it. And the on it is how it scales. That's how you figure out the next direction.

[00:19:42] Taylor Aller: That's how you figure out what you're doing next season, next quarter. That's how you figure out your profit goals. That's how you maintain inspiration. And it's very hard to be an entrepreneur. We don't get the luxury of clocking in and clocking out and just always having something there. We have to be paving the road as we're driving on it, and if you're not constantly paving the road, you're going to run out of road.

[00:19:59] Taylor Aller: [00:20:00] And that's why going to events, that's why reading books. Absorbing podcasts, like doing things that inspire you as a business owner, doing things that help you synchronize your ideas, doing things that help you connect with other people who have done things bigger and better than you have. So you can learn and walk with them.

[00:20:15] Taylor Aller: That's what's going to help your business grow in a longterm. You ultimately will fail if you keep working in your business. So whether attending an event is something that helps you work on your business, which is, it's like. It's like jumper cables to do that. There are other ways to do that, but the point is working on your business is what's going to help you scale and grow.

[00:20:31] Taylor Aller: It's going to allow you to have that inspiration to be able to have sustainable growth and allow you to have that longevity along with all the other benefits we talked about at the beginning. But that's ultimately the biggest reason why is you'll, you will always leave an event inspired by things you want to do, inspired by things you will never do.

[00:20:46] Taylor Aller: All of those things are really great information for you to scale your own business and you can't get that behind your laptop. You have to get that in a different environment and it's so potent. And if you think about it, this is like the shortcut to be able to do that. This is the least amount of time you [00:21:00] could take off to do that.

[00:21:00] Taylor Aller: This is the fastest way to do that. This is the fast track way to make all the connections, to get the inspiration. It's like all the bang for your buck is to be able to do it that way. Taking one day off to get all of those benefits. It's like a no brainer.

[00:21:12] Danielle: It's so good. And I think too, like we, I hear all the time about how people come to our events and they meet just that one person who like completely changed the trajectory of their business a hundred percent.

[00:21:25] Danielle: And. Yeah, that can absolutely happen in other ways, like you said, but it just is, there's something different about being in a room and also the feeling like that's one of my favorite things about being at an in person event is just. There's something about the energy in the room of, like, all of these people who have taken the time out of their schedule to be there, to be present.

[00:21:50] Danielle: And they're all excited to be there. Like, when was the last time you were in a room of 200 people, that were just as excited to be there as you [00:22:00] were and just as eager to learn, to connect, to grow? There's something so magical about that, that you can't. Replicate in another environment, so I think it's like going to

[00:22:11] Taylor Aller: the concert of your favorite artist versus listening to the album.

[00:22:14] Taylor Aller: True. There is nothing like going to that concert when you can feel the goose bumps and you can sing the lyrics and the person next to you who you never met is your best friend by the time you leave and you both have been screaming the lyrics so hard that you can't talk after that is what. An event is going to versus virtual networking or versus listening to a podcast or versus to reading a book.

[00:22:33] Taylor Aller: Like those things will be great. I enjoy listening to Beyonce's album, but you know what I really like going to her concert. And that is like, it's a night you're never going to forget. It's all of those things. It becomes that much more heightened. It's indescribable that exchange of energy and humans, I mean, to get scientific we're built to be.

[00:22:51] Taylor Aller: Social creatures. That's why this is so valuable and feels so good. All those pleasure hormones are going to be happening. That's why. So if you can leverage it for your business, [00:23:00] why not? And most of us have that journey of being lonely. Most of us have that entrepreneurial struggle of being alone and your community.

[00:23:07] Taylor Aller: I've said this so many times, your community has been the first place business wise. And frankly, one of the only places where I feel at home. I've found my people, the people like me who are excited, who are nervous, who are wanting to learn these things, who are having sweaty armpits, like these aren't my people, right?

[00:23:24] Taylor Aller: They're the people who are trying to do the same thing I'm doing, who have the same struggles that I do and we sometimes have different struggles than I do. And I get to learn about that too. This is where you get to go to be part of a warm welcome place. And that's not often found with women and not often found with business.

[00:23:38] Taylor Aller: And those two things together is what you've created. It's magic. Unlike anything

[00:23:42] Danielle: else. Oh, thanks Taylor. I appreciate you and I love you and I hope that if you're listening and you're like Okay, I'm nervous, but I really want to be a part of this. I really want to attend. I hope you will, because you'll get to meet myself and Taylor.
