Comfort Zones ~ May’s Blog-o-Sphere Think Tank

by Robyn Hawk on May 20, 2013


May’s topic: ” How often do you step outside of your comfort zone? 

 If yes, how, when? If not, are you considering it?”

This couldn’t be more timely – I seem to be stepping outside my comfort zone more and more these days – one of the hazards of working for yourself – no one to delegate to!!!!




Pubic Speaking – this is a SOLID 5 on the YIKES! meter for me and it seems I am asked several times a year – so let me publicly post what I Do and what I Don’t Do!

  • I DO a great – really productive hands-on workshop from which you will emerge with an online presence – ANY platform you are interested in conquering!
  • I DON’T give lectures – I find that most people are really charged up following a “talk” but when they go to implement your info something stops them.
  • I WILL DO a Panel Discussion (as long as I am not the Moderator) – in fact this is a format that I really enjoy and, like the workshop, encourages interaction.

Timely indeed as the other thing that is scary for me but I have been able to Master it is the transition from Gem, Artisan and Craft Shows to Fine Jewelry Shows…while this was rough the first year – I actually embrace it now (seasoned – this is my third Jewelry Week Las Vegas).  
Things I have finally realized (YES – clarity DOES come with age) – there are some people in your life that just will not like you – but there are ten times as many that not only like you but care about your success.  Remember that often their success is tied to your success!

…and with that I welcome you to read my Daily Jewel blog for the next few weeks!  Right now I am previewing jewelry that will be seen at the shows that make up Jewelry Week in Las Vegas…hashtag #JWLV (each individual show has their own hashtag).  All of the hashtags can be followed at the Twitter Hub here:  http://twubs.com/JWLV
So whether your tastes run to Antique Jewelry…

OR the latest from “Red Carpet” Jewelry Designers….



Jewelry Week is a “Trade ONLY” event – but check in with your Local Jeweler to see the latest items on their shelves!

*So what is this new “blog-o-Sphere” thing?

Formed by our “fearless leader” Andes Cruz from a group of friends who blog, from all different areas of life, to do a ‘once a month’ ‘blog circle’, or ‘blog carnival’ type thing, if you will. Anyway, we get together once a month, and all write about the same topic, and hopefully we all post at approximately the same time , on the 20th of each month, with a new and different topic. Refreshing, and interesting – be sure to read several people’s take on an idea or topic it gets your mind going. Everyone has different thoughts; so you might learn something, or open your eyes to new ideas . In any case, it’s fun!!! I hope you’ll visit all the blogs and have a read!
