Yesterday I met Matt Cheuvront (@mattchevy). He (slightly abashedly) gave me this as his business card:
So I did a little poking around. Was inspired by a post. You can read it here.
“Step outside your comfort zone – stop waiting, stop thinking, and start doing. Because in the end, that’s the only way things will start happening.”
I used to be one of those “I’m too busy” excuse-givers. I look back and realize that not only was I stunting my own personal growth, but I was being really annoying to people around me. I apologize for that.
Matt, thanks for the reminder. And by the way, brilliant business cards. It stood out and I remembered you.
Being memorable is what matters, right? I used to be (and still sometimes am) one of those “I’m too busy” people. It all comes down to organization and prioritization. I’m a huge advocate of being efficient at both. It was GREAT to meet you last night – next time, I’ll try to provide you with a more professional albeit slightly less memorable business care!
Hey, the handwritten business card WORKED. And since I had established a relationship with you prior to meeting you, it made it that much more unique and memorable.
I say you do this for the rest of your life. Yeah, even when you’re a big time executive. Make this your “thing.”
