If you're not hanging out with other entrepreneurs (positive ones), you're crazy. Don't mean to be so direct, but it really can help. I've been discovering this in the last few weeks. Big revelation, huh?
The power is found in the connection. You'll find you're not alone, which is often the case inside of an employment situation. Everyone is self-employed anyway. That's why this is not just for the self-employed. That's right, even if you're employed you should be doing all you can to connect with other like-minded folk. The universe is too big to go it alone.
And if you think of yourself as a freak or an outsider, you'll find other freaks and outsiders in these confines. Don't be a best kept secret.
Thanks for commenting, Andy. I think it’s imperative to connect in the areas you’re passionate about.
For example, I’m passionate about wine. To that end, on Twitter I follow those who share my passion. You might be amazed at what common ground can be found.
Another way is to stay open. Don’t be closed because you never know who you’ll run into.
I agree Eric. What are some of the ways that individuals can get connected with others that share a similar mindset (or perhaps, desire to reach similar goals but use different tactics) in these communities?
Thanks for continuing to keep us fed and growing!
