If you want to be successful in business you’re going to have to hustle.

Well, that’s what a lot of people think, and they work themselves to exhaustion because of it.

But in reality, things aren’t that black and white. Which is precisely why I invited Vanessa and Nicky, the brilliant co-authors of Healthy Hustle, to join me for a conversation about their latest book.

Healthy Hustle is a guidebook for people who are deep in the business world, people who are established leaders with growing teams, and for anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of endless work. It’s not a get-rich quick guide, but instead an exploration into how business owners can grow their companies without sacrificing their health or their sanity.

You might be surprised that the word “hustle” is in the books title, but it’s not actually advocating to remove hustle from your life. Although it is commonly a drain on people, Vanessa and Nicky argue that hustle, when channelled correctly, can be a source of energy and momentum. "Healthy Hustle" encourages us to embrace those powerful aspects of hustle (like drive and determination) but balance them with your personal joy and wellbeing.

Free speaking engagements can be a powerful way to build a name for yourself but, like everything we do in business, they come at the cost of our time, energy, focus or money.

So, if you want your speaking gig to be worthwhile you need to make sure you’re getting a return on your investment.

And if you want to make sure you get a return on your investment, you’ll need to be proactive and intentional about leveraging the exposure to generate real opportunities.

When I started my entrepreneurial journey, I took countless free speaking gigs thinking they would help me grow but I quickly realised that wasn’t enough on its own. Since then, I’ve developed strategies to turn these free gigs into gold mines, and today, I want to share them with you!

It might surprise you that I call myself an introvert. Yes, I speak on stages, run events and put myself out there. But where do I truly get my energy? It’s from solitude, thinking and deep one on one connections.

The big crowds? Nah, they're not really my thing. But despite this, I’ve successfully built a network that spans industries, countries and decades. How? Well,  by doing it in my way.  

There’s a myth that introverts can’t be brilliant networkers. But let me flip the script for you.

Introverts are actually phenomenal networkers. We don't waste time on the surface level stuff. We dig deep, listen and observe. And these are huge strengths, given that true networking is about forging meaningful, authentic relationships.

Today, we’ll explore the innate strengths that make introverts excel in the realm of building genuine relationships. I also share my own approach to networking and some practical ways you can build meaningful business connections as an introvert.

I challenge you: dismiss the pressure to conform to a louder networking style. Be deliberate, authentic and true to yourself. As you navigate the business world, focused on expanding your network, always remember that your quiet strengths are not weaknesses—they are your superpowers.
