Tip #33 - Networking. Where To Go And How To Find It

Realtors have a habit of over analyzing things. They don't want to start something until they have all of the pieces in place and they are perfectly 100% ready to launch. They end up with half finished projects that never get off the ground because it is never "perfect" enough. It is called analysis paralysis. I have agents come into my office asking about networking all the time. Where do I go? How do I find the best group? How do I know if it is a good group?

They will over-think it until they never leave the house. They waste valuable networking time sitting at home trying to find the perfect venue.

Love the one you're with!

The fastest and most effective method of networking is to just stop and look around you. Todd Clark, blogging guru and networking extraordinaire, is the most creative networker alive. And guess what? He doesn't hang out at "networking" events. He is involved with his local community and networks in his everyday life. He gets more leads by attending his son's baseball game than most of us could get in a years worth of Le Tip meetings.

The point is this, Make it simple! Don't spend a lot of money. Don't spend a lot of time away from your family. Just slow down and look around you. There are opportunities everywhere.
