But if you've been attending the same organization meetings, with the same people, and the same agenda year after year, it's not a good habit anymore. You're in a rut.
You left your comfort zone of home and office to start networking. It was awkward at first, but you gradually became comfortable with your group. Too comfortable.
If you're not meeting a handful of new people at every one of your favorite organization's meetings, it's time to add a new group or range further out for your activities. Don't drop the old organizations. Like the Girl Scout song says: "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold."
I've been a member of the Fresno Women's Network for nearly 10 years, but the group is dynamic and always growing, so I meet new people at every meeting. And, I've been working for the Clovis Chamber for six years, but again, new people are joining all the time.
Are you in a rut? Get yourself out now, before you can't see over the sides.
