Networking groups – are they worth your time and investment?

May 5, 2009 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

If you are or have ever been involved in a ‘networking’ group, was it worth the time and energy you invested?  If you paid a fee, was it worth the investment?

If you said yes, it was or is worth the time, energy, and money I invested, that’s great. So many people I talk to who are involved in one or more networking groups, seem to be going through the motions. They don’t seem to get much out of the group, so what are they really putting into the group.

 

When you attend a networking group function, ask yourself what you want to get out of being part of the group.  What is the goal and by when do you want to achieve it. Then do everything you can to help ensure you achieve the goal. If you don’t achieve the goal, then the group probably isn’t the ‘right’ group for you to be involved in.  You have to determine if your time, energy and money invested in any group, is worth it or not. That is why you need to set goals and time-frames in which to determine if it is worth it or not.

 

Continually evaluate whether or not you are putting yourself in the highest probability to achieve your goal(s) given the time, energy, and money you are investing. Obviously, some will work and some will not work to helping you achieve your goals.

What should I be doing to get the best outcome for me?

 

If I am doing those things and not getting the result, then it isn’t worth it?

Time is valuable to each of us. Don’t waste time on things that don’t produce the results you want and in the time-frame you want them.  There are many opportunities for us, pick the best ‘networking’ groups to help you achieve your goals and get rid of the rest. You will be glad you did.

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
