picker. If you're like me, you probably are interested in getting your money to work for you. I definitely am whoever you want to be super careful to make the right investments. This time around I decided to seek help. Recently I came across him pretty often saw awesome software Sterling stock picker. I liked it right away after I realized it was easy to use. It really is actually super easy to

use. And I could relate to the story on their homepage of a high school teacher wanting to retire early and from investing was Sterling stock picker, he earned 150% return investment. He turned 17k into 100k. That is life changing money even though I feel like I do that with my business. This is also amazing with this. What would you want to do with 100 extra k cash would you quit your job pay off credit cards take your family on an awesome vacation and the site even tracks and makes

recommendations for crypto. I was poking around on their website and came across doc rockets. I couldn't believe it. It was so easy for me to find companies with 100% earnings growth industry best and what Sterling stock picker calls five star rated stocks. It's basically the best the best literally within three clicks I have eight companies to choose from to invest in, which is always amazing because it's like basically like verifying proving it for you. So I don't know

about you. But I've invested in other stock picking software, which I have that was complicated and expensive. I found Sterling stock picker easy to navigate, I learned a ton about the stocks for two short minute videos embedded throughout the site. So make sure to go to Sterling stock picker. It offers a 14 day free trial and just head over sterling stock picker.com forward slash pod and grab your free trial or it'll be in the user or in my show notes. So with that, let's get into

Episode 95. So I'm a little bit way late on this. But I'm in the middle of a very large PhD paper that's Do you guys have known this? It's been weeks that I've been working on it. And we're in the final moments of crossing the finish line with it. And I went and recorded or finished recording my third book and uncompromised life, the audiobook. And so it's so funny, I feel like sometimes we have this notion in our mind of like, we want to get somewhere and get

all these things done. And when we do that, we're like, I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna get this done. And then like, it doesn't happen. And we're like, Oh, why didn't I do that yet? Or how did that happen? Or why did that fall through? Like this audiobook was was to be done, like, I don't know, months, two months ago, bro. Like no, a month ago, like beginning of February. And it just didn't work. I had so many things I was doing. And today it finally got

done. But I was I was reading the chapter that was like, oh my god, I see why it was delayed six weeks because I needed to have that time to catch up to myself. Like I needed that time as I read the audio book later, to like, implement share with you like real life, things that were happening in my life, how like, every time I read that book or everything that I wrote, it's like it's always happening at deeper layers in my life. And it's like happening in a deeper

embodiment. So anyway, I had that I had a few client things at a team meeting. We had journaling, we had a lot of things, I made some pasta. And so anyway, what I wanted to talk about today was networking. So I feel like it's super, super important. As you guys know, to celebrate our two year anniversary with the Colleen Gallagher podcast, we are having a virtual party, Saturday, March

19. It's on my website you can enroll we changed it from in person to virtual cuz I know a lot of you wanted to come but you couldn't fly. So I wanted to make it super accessible. So it's going to be amazing. At five to 7pm Saturday, March 17. It'll be a great time. I'm super excited. We have so many great people that are involved and it's been great for networking.

So anyway, what I wanted to come and share what I wanted to come and say to you is that what is networking networking is basically putting yourself in an environment that you usually wouldn't go into to create connections with people that are outside of your current circle. And from a really young age, I always learned that your network

is your net worth. And so the more that you get out there and go meet people and talk to people and converse with people, the more likely you're going to create connections, grow your business, grow your movement, grow what you have to say, create a more amazing friendships. It gets funny when I went to Cabo, as you guys know, I got invited over to this house for Thanksgiving. And I just was messaging that woman, just like, it's so funny how you pull into the wrong driver in

our like, such good friends. And I was like, yeah, that's how it

happens. You know, and I wanted to share with you I wanted to offer to you here is that you are the creator of your reality, you are the person that either chooses when invited, people are always inviting you places you don't have to everywhere you're invited, but you either choose to get up and get invited, and go do the thing, which is like this virtual networking event that I have, or you choose to not and every time you choose just to stay in your same circle, I hate to break it to,

you are not going to grow that much. I know people who are in their 50s 60s 70s, who like have not got out of there, same circle they've had and you will not grow like it's just not going to happen, you're not going to evolve, you're not going to grow, you're not going to change. Your ideas are not going to get into the world, like they're gonna die with you inside of you. And that's kind of like morbid, but it's so

true. It's like, you have to be willing to get out there and make it happen willing to get out there and meet new people willing to go out there and put yourself in uncomfortable situations. Because if you're not willing to create a not even create, grow your network, get in new environments and meet people and get over being shy. Like I remember actually, it was the first millionaire coach that I've ever hired in my life like multimillionaires. She's a millionaire by 19 I think for

the first time. I was like messenger like I'm nervous. I can't I can't afford to stay at the hotel like I'm staying at a Airbnb down the street. Do you think people are gonna judge me? And she's like, why would anyone judge you like you're at the event? Like it's working out great. And I was like, okay, like, I guess and I was so insecure about it. And like, I

would be so nervous. But I got there and I realized that literally no one cared that I wasn't staying at the hotel like no one even knew that I wasn't santha hotel and then like we all went out to dinner, you had like a VIP ticket you out to dinner with the mentor and all of us who were VIPs and it was like this incredible experience that was beautiful and powerful. And I was so nervous cuz like, here's this person's a multi millionaire, I'd never met someone who was a millionaire.

And it made me just so nervous. And so like, Oh my God, what do you do? And so I I had to put myself in situations with people. I've never been around like billionaires, you know, 100 millionaires, like, you know, Jesse Itzler, someone you know, if you just watched my Instagram stories today, he's someone who grid retired a young age, he's, I don't even know how many companies he's made, but a lot of successful companies and could retire a long time ago. And he's just an amazing

example. And he went and became an ultra Ironman, like the highest thing you can do in like running or marathons or sports or whatever. And so it was so cool to watch him because like, here's this guy who's like, still pushing his network like he's still pushing out like new experiences that he can have an add to his life resume, he's still like doing the hard work.

He's still doing the grit. And so anyway, I I excited to offer a space like my podcast event where it can be a space where you can network where you can feel safe to be who you are, you can feel safe to express your truth, you can feel safe to be who you need to be. So. So anyway, I feel like what I want to share, I think what's coming up inside my heart. I think what's true for me is one, I built this note, I built this podcast with the intention for you to feel like you are not alone.

I've showed up every week for almost two years. Because I wanted you to know that there is a place you can tune in to receive a frequency I want to do to have a space really come and have tangible practical steps of this is what I needed to do if I call myself out if I hold myself in my highest so that I can create the life that I want to

create. And I wanted to be a person that constantly offering opportunities to opportunities for you to say yes opportunities for you to get around new people opportunities for you to empower yourself like I wanted to get I wanted you to have that and I feel like you being here is networking. But the next level is actually meeting people that are also in this community because you are not alone listening to this me talking. You are not the only one who's on the other side of this mic

listening. There's over 100 cities and I think like 30 or 40 some 56 countries I think it is that are behind this listening to me. So you are connected to 56 countries or 100 cities by just sitting here listening because that is a collective network we've created, that's anyone who be tapping at any time listening the same exact time is you feeling what you are feeling, feeling like they want to have more feeling, they want

to be more. And I just want you to know that the only way that that's going to grow is if you sit on the other end of wherever you are hearing me, but you actually show up to an event that's like a virtual event, you actually show up and show your face. Even when you're scared. And even when you're nervous. It was like the first time I was around multimillionaires and couldn't afford to stay at the hotel. I had to stay in Airbnb.

But it's a you still show up and do it, you still show up and say the thing and you still show up and believe in yourself. Because that first step of taking the leap into the water, that first step of saying like, Yes, this is me like, Yes, this is who I am. Yes, I'm going to change the world of love. Yes, I'm going to become an entrepreneur. Yes, I'm going to become a business owner, like the moment you do that everything is just for you

so rapidly and so quickly. And so anyway, one of those be about networking. But anyway, when you go to a networking event, what I always say the best thing to do that event, what do you do I hate that, what do you do? How do we support each other? That's so boring, so outdated. It's really to connect with people on what they're passionate about. So I always say, when you go to a networking event, the first thing you're going to do is Hey, like what are you passionate

about? Or how did you get into what you're doing, and really get to someone's backstory, like their history of why they are, where they are, like, why they why they are at that place talking to not so much what they do or how they're doing it. It's very mechanical, and a lot of people may not be happy with what they're doing or how they're doing life. So you want

to connect them the why. And once you have a heart connection, because the heart connection is eight that 8000 times more powerful than the mind. You can become unstoppable. You create amazing relationships, connections, just all of it. So what's on my heart or mind or was what I wanted to share with you is that one, we're having a party, too, you must learn to expand your network three, you are the only one who's going to be able to choose to get outside of your own mind and your own lifestyle.

By entering into new events and new places where you know, nobody, it's not going to be comfortable. But you just get more comfortable with it as you practice. Like I still feel awkward my go into places and I don't know anybody like there was a party recently on Valentine's Day, my friend invited me to and like I was there and I always felt awkward edge didn't really know a lot of people and it wasn't really like the party that I normally would

go to. And I don't know, I was just like, in my own world, that guy sat on the couch and then like sat by myself the table like not really contributed in conversations. So I just felt like I didn't have anything to say. But I still like shut up and then when it's time to leave, I left and I still made like two good connections, which was awesome. But I was like for the good, right? Like, I don't know, but you have to put yourself in those environments,

sometimes by yourself. And just know that there's what you're seeking. If you're seeking to grow and expand, there's people seeking to grow and expand with you. If you are someone who's a teacher, a guide a mentor, there's people who already want to learn from you but if you don't put yourself in the environment, then nothing's gonna shift. So anyway, I hope this serves I hope to see you at the podcast party Saturday, click the link in the comments and I love you
