Okay, I FINALLY went to my first Rainmakers event this morning at Champs, and I have to say, it lived up to all the hype. Whoo hoo!! I actually got to meet some fellow SI-ers in person. (Which I should have done on Tuesday, and was planning to do on Tuesday, but then couldn’t), but hey, I swear, God-willing, I WILL BE at the next one-and I expect you all to hold me accountable. Anyway, by the way things are going, that will be what, like next month?! Pat, you rock! (and so does everyone else who is on here).
Okay, back to Rainmakers. I had a good friend (you know who you are) ask me if I felt uncomfortable. I mean, it can be a bit intimidating walking into a room full of strangers, all poised, dressed nice, in conversations, and not really knowing what anyone does…the list could go on. But the answer is No. I didn’t feel uncomforatable at all. I was welcomed, I felt good, I met great people, and although not ‘officially’ a rainmaker right this moment, I know that I will be, and I am really looking forward to meeting you all.
For all of you that were there, Eric Deckers, Patia Huling, Ryan Kitto, Nathan Pfahler, Becky Pruitt, Stephanie Arnold, the list goes on and on, thank you for being so cool and thank you for being so nice. Deborah Farrar is amazing, you should all get to know her (which she is getting ready to join SI, so you all will be able to get to know her) And don’t forget to pay it forward.
