SHOWING UP.
Sounds too simple, right? But after organizing over 500 events in San Francisco, I can tell you MOST people don't do it.
They talk about throwing parties. They plan. They dream. They make excuses.
But they don't SHOW UP consistentlyโ€ฆ.

Showing up means going to that networking event even when you're tired. Following up with that venue owner even when they haven't responded. Throwing that next party even when the last one was rough.
In nightlife and in business, CONSISTENCY beats talent every time. The people who last aren't the most skilled. They're the ones who KEEP SHOWING UP when everyone else quits.
One of my early mentors told me: "Half the battle is just being there." He was right.
