The other CRUCIAL thing is having an ally who is not jealous of your successes (saying or thinking 'That's not fair. Why are YOU getting opportunities and not me.') "You get what you give" Give of yourself unconditionally to your allies and just see what comes back. xoxo, your friend and ally, @BarbaraJones (Hey, btw, is that MY eye next to yours?) :-) Great post Jessica!

I think, like Cowboy's Wife, that I have been very shy and hesitant to truly reach out and find people to connect with and work with. I am going to try harder this week to find a couple people like that and then work on setting up some phone calls! The first steps are probably the hardest right? What a wonderful post Jessica!

I've never done this to be honest...well, with you that time but that's all. I can see how a simple phone call can really make a difference. I'm very shy about approaching people. I think it's years of childhood abuse that keeps my self confidence at a certain level but I do try to rise from that. I'd imagine that self confidence holds many people back, thinking that they or their blog is not good enough. Definitely some things for me to work on. I appreciate the post. Great stuff!

One colleague reached out to me earlier this year and since then she has been invaluable to me. I don't know if we are partners but seriously? There are days when I don't know what I would do without her. We have never spoken on the phone but keep in touch almost daily and if there are days that go by when we don't hear from the other... then an email is sent out to make sure the other is OK. The idea of having people you can partner with, if for nothing more than moral support is a priceless tool. We shouldn't be building ourselves without it. You have some great tips and I'm glad to be using just about all of them. I agree that it can be hard to reach out to people.
