Summary

I am an amazing stalker and I totally own that! I’m not a creeper, because there is a difference! I try to use my stalking powers for good and that’s what we are talking about today. My stalking comes out of my desire to connect with certain people and figuring out how to create those connection opportunities! This is going to be fun, so join us! There are lots of really great reasons to engage your stalking skills: To get to know people to expand my inner circle To make your inner circle more powerful To take a leap that will get you to the next level To hang out with people that are more successful than you You want to change and shift your inner circle You get to make authentic connections with people out of your “league” I had the desire to do this at one point in my life when I joined a mastermind. I went to my first meeting without a website or any sort of online business. Even though it was scary, I was surrounded by people that were very successful in online business. This helped me more than anything I could have done alone in my business. Ask yourself: What can I learn about them so that I can start learning from them? How do you start stalking? Lead with a compliment. Find common ground upon which to build a relationship. If you have nothing else to offer to them, be their supporter, their cheerleader. Make sure they know you are deliberate in wanting to have a relationship. I was able to use these tips to connect with someone this past week that I look up to! I was able to make contact with Lewis Howes at an event.. I was very intentional about trying to connect with him, and I happened to connect 3 different times, so hopefully this will lead to more connections at some of his events in the future. At the same event, I was able to meet several other people that I admire, and I will be having them on the podcast. Even though they were out of my league, I still put myself out there and made the connection. One of them was Jill Coleman - My guru for having a healthy relationship with food - check her out at www.jillcoleman.com This isn’t super comfortable for me, but I approached my stalking at this event with no shame in my game, and it paid off!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy. I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and
0:11.8	other passionate, dedicated moms the tools you need to bridge the gap between motherhood
0:15.9	and living the life of your dreams. I'm also here to help you be a little more shameless every day, because if you
0:22.1	aren't building a life, you're extraordinarily proud of. What kind of legacy are you building?
0:26.6	So let's dive in. So yesterday was my son's parent teacher conference, and I was really excited because
0:33.3	I feel like you drop your kid off for this long day at school, and you kind of don't know what
0:36.8	happens on the other side of that.
0:38.8	And I know my kid is very different at school than he is at home because that's how I was.
0:43.3	And we just from what I've heard so far from his teachers and everything, like he's a delight at school.
0:48.0	Not always such a delight at home.
0:49.7	I don't know how that works.
0:51.3	And the same was always true for me as a child, like, delightful at school,
0:55.5	could do no wrong, complete 100% teacher's pet, and kind of a tear at the house. So I know where
1:01.6	my son gets this. So anyways, we're at his parent teacher conference yesterday and his teacher
1:06.4	says to us, you know, Vinnie is trying really hard to engage with the other kids and he's doing
1:11.7	a really great job and he's becoming a better self-advocate and he's social skills are appropriate.
1:17.3	And then she's like, but you know, sometimes he really wants to play with the little girls and
1:21.3	he doesn't know quite how to insert himself into their play.
1:24.4	And so he just like throws himself in in these awkward ways and they don't know how to
1:28.0	receive it. And this is all three year olds. So you can imagine like I think that the little girls are
1:32.8	like playing princess or something and Vinny doesn't know how to insert himself into that. And so he
1:37.2	does weird things that just are disruptive and probably annoying to them as most little boys do, right? The little boys annoy the little girls. And so, so she's
