I used to think I was absolutely bananas for having a fear of answering phone calls. I mean, it sounds crazy, doesn't it?! 🍌 I've had social anxiety since my teens but didn't realize what it was... I would enter the grocery store or pharmacy with eyes at the ground, safely avoiding any potential social interaction. I NEVER answer the phone unless it is a scheduled call... and even then it is uncomfortable. So when it came time to NETWORK, I was definitely out of my zone of comfort - but pushing myself was the best thing that ever happened to me. I still remember my first Skype call. A conversation with VIDEO!? What was I going to do?! Thankfully, it was with one of the most incredible women I have ever met and she eased my fears with genuine authenticity and kindness. Since then, I have taken two calls per day for the past two years and have seen the impact these calls have had on my bottom line and ultimately on my heart and soul. Don't let your fears hold you back. Pick up the darn phone! You never know who may just change your life...
