Putting It Out to the Universe
It's been a couple of weeks since I was notified that the Fin+AI event was being shuttered. But, I don't want to dwell on the loss of that role. Moreover, I want to somehow utilize the momentum that I gained in curating the agenda for the conference.
I've been wanting to share my thoughts. But, rather than having a knee-jerk reaction, I gave it some time so I can share about the future. For I cannot change the past, it has already occurred. The only thing I can focus on is what happens now, and in the future.
While thinking about how I wanted to present it, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to put it out to the universe. So I Googled what does "Putting it out to the universe" mean?
Google replied that "putting it out to the universe is a way of describing the practice of manifesting, which is the process of aligning with the universe's energy to create an experience that can elevate the spirit. Some say that the universe listens, and answers.
I'm not only writing this article for self-discovery, but also in the hopes that it may inspire others who are also putting it out into the universe, and looking for a response. My search returned some tips for manifesting, may they also provide a guide, to help craft your request.
Be Clear: I want to be part of a small company that has built a solid enough foundation that is ready to scale up and needs a catalyst like myself to help promote their product or brand. I'm not going to add a lot of caveats here, I'll know when it's right, the universe will tell me.
Make a Plan: Until I find this organization I need a vehicle to promote and put myself out in the universe. I'm going to start producing short video news segments about the AI industry. I'm still working on branding, but in between stories I'll have short interstitials for companies, that I am an independent representative for. This could also dovetail with full-time position.
Be Grateful: I'm grateful that I have the network, support, relationships and skill sets to work in such a manner. I am grateful to have the resources to develop my knowledge, elevate my profile, learn from consummate professionals and further enhance my capabilities.

Trust the Process: I don't have much a financial cushion, but I know somehow this will work itself out, it always does. I have learned that if I take the responsibility the tools to fulfill those requirements will be fulfilled along the way to the finish line.
Take Action: I've already started, yesterday I completely reconfigured my office around the new monitor I got for my birthday. I've been working on the brand, figuring out the format, mulling over presentation style, frequency, and other considerations.
Acknowledge Signs: I am being as open as I possibly can, I am trying new things, learning new subjects, and turning over all rocks regardless of my initial impressions. I'm trying to keep myself out of the way, allow things to flow naturally, and always be looking for a sign.
Ask For a Sign: I'm asking the universe, my surroundings, my network, and myself for any indication as to where I should focus my energies and efforts. Putting this post out to the universe is one of the ways I am asking for a sign to be displayed pointing the way.
Don't Repeat Requests: I'm not going to put out more posts like this, stating my intentions. Instead I will let my creations carry my message and display my intent. Continuing to ask shows no faith in the process, if you don't trust it will happen - it will not be manifested.
Put Yourself Out There: I have been invited to a lot of different events recently and would love to attend them all. However, I have limited funds that somewhat restrict my travel. I am being resourceful, and participating in virtual and local events when I can. I'd like things to work out where I can attend more events focused on the subject matter as this takes shape.
So what's next? So far I have a plan, and will begin generating content, all the while also looking for some projects I can help with to keep the bills paid. If you have something you need help with please let me know. I'm a marketing generalist for early-stage companies.
So there it is - my ideas for now. Sometimes I plan and the universe laughs, but I have been able to roll with it and find something new. I don't expect that this will be in any way different.
