			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week I went to a networking luncheon and I came up with a new 30 second intro that highlighted <strong>3 ways to tell if you are getting in your own way</strong> and here they are:</p>
<ol>
<li>You keep saying things like, &#8220;I&#8217;ll get to that next week,&#8221; and you don&#8217;t,</li>
<li>You spend way too much time writing for your blog or newsletter, and</li>
<li>You&#8217;re waiting to fully launch your biz until you get it perfect.</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh you should have heard all the ladies at the event moan and groan as they heard this list because <strong>we&#8217;ve all fallen prey </strong>to one or more or all of the above!</p>
<p>But, check this out.  I ended my intro by saying, &#8220;If you know a FEMpreneneur who&#8217;s getting in her own way, then please give her my card for a free 30 minute coaching session.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woohoo!  It was probably one of my best and most concise introductions.  So if you are <strong>crafting your own 30 second introduction</strong> keep these tips in mind:</p>
<ol>
<li>Write out what you&#8217;re going to say ahead of time.</li>
<li>Say it out loud until it&#8217;s comfortable.</li>
<li>Highlight 3 reasons why a potential client would check you out.</li>
<li>Have an awesome business card to pass around that people want to keep.</li>
</ol>
<p>I hope these help.  Feel free to <strong>post your 30 second</strong> <strong>intro </strong>as a comment for all of us to check out.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you are getting in your own way, then please don&#8217;t hesitate to <a href="http://swc.interfaceias.com/"><strong>book your free 30 minute coaching session</strong></a> with me!  I&#8217;d love to connect with you.</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Your Blogging Topic</strong></span><br />
Highlight 3 problems your clients or customers are facing.</p>

<p>My cat Poppy says, &#8220;Get out of your own way!&#8221;  Yeah, it&#8217;s easy for her to say.  All she has to do is eat, nap, and occasionally knock the dog around a little!</p>
