When I was a consultant for a client’s broodmare program, my boss often said, “Barb, one of the secrets to success is you need to keep showing up.”
He went on to explain that, whether it’s business or personal, investing time in attending events can open doors.
We position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities, observe trends, become more informed, and make new friends.

Magic can happen, and worlds can open up.
Depending on the situation, showing up might feel adventurous or intimidating, but my client was right. Unique experiences happen when we ‘get out there’, and you never know what might happen.
Recently, I had the honor of giving three presentations on horseback and two seminars onstage at the Equine Affaire Expo in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
It was great to see long-time friends (notice I don’t call them old – LOL).
I so enjoyed the folks who rode with me. For the first time, I met some impressive professionals, observed trends, and saw how much the digital world has expanded and impacted us.
I enjoyed visiting a part of the US I don’t often see. It’s beautiful.
It reminded me of my former client’s consistent suggestion to ‘keep showing up.’
It reminded me to say ‘yes’ to opportunities to go, learn, be vulnerable, and see what I see.
I’m amazed by the connections I made and by the potential for more adventures.
Now, I’m passing this simple advice on to you. Keep showing up. If you’re inclined to do something, go for it.
When we venture out and about, it’s refreshing to the mind and spirit, and you never know what’s waiting for you just around the corner.
It could be magical.
Please leave a message for me.
