People often say that if you want to be successful then you should surround yourself with people who align with your goals while at the same time pushing you to be the best. That sounds straight forward but finding the right people is usually the challenge. The result is usually people attend multiple types of events in an attempt to find the right people to associate with such as trade shows and even business clubs of sort.
But one thing that stuck out in my mind recently was how there was a person trying to find people to do various activities with for fun such as hiking. She joined a ton of groups but for the most part couldn’t really find people that would be as keen as her to visit various places. There was then a different person who actually just moved to the area apparently and she wanted to meet people for activities as well. While she used the same site as the other lady she didn’t join a bunch of groups. Instead she created her own group and just like she was getting to meet a ton of people that seem like a good fit.
Sometimes creating your own community of sorts is the way to go where instead of trying to find people you are in a sense creating an environment to attract them to you.
