You’re So Vain

Kevin Willett says ditch the vanity and take pride in yourself instead

2020 has been a crazy year. I am hearing a lot of stories about people upping their fitness routines with home gyms and workouts to try and keep some sanity in their day. I have heard the opposite stories from friends who are packing on the pounds and not able to get a good routine going. These are the friends I am concerned about. Not because of their eating habits but because of their networking habits. Many people I know have stopped networking. The excuses I am hearing “I don’t look good on Zoom” “I have gained weight” “I don’t want to put my makeup on for one call”. Wow!

Nobody documents themselves daily as much as I do. I post a lot of pictures; I do Facebook Live videos every day. I’ll admit I am one of the ones who has lost weight during the pandemic. So, I know how the gainers feel because when I look back on older videos and pictures, I can’t believe it. We all want to present our best selves to potential clients. Think about this though, if you don’t lose weight does that mean you are never going to network again?  If I had waited until I lost 25 or 30 pounds, there would be no New England B2B or Friends of Kevin right now. You cannot afford to wait to try and grow your business. The most important thing is not how you look on a Zoom call it’s how you portray yourself and your business. Impress people with your intelligence and passion for what you do.

Makeup or no makeup, comb your hair, put on a clean shirt and network!
