WIIFM - What's In It For Me? We ask this question when we are contemplating attending something, spending money, dealing with others. However, as I as found out recently, we can think we know what we will get when we do something, but we have no idea what we will truly get.
This world is so small! As I have been attending networking groups, parties, or small gatherings I have been meeting people that I am somehow connected to them. Just tonight I met some wonderful people and in our casual conversation I found out that we actually went to school together. We hung out with similar people, but at different times. We lived in close proximity. We attended valuable seminars by the same people. Others are meeting with people to discover who they are and I have already spent years with those same people. Who knew?
When you take the time to get to know what people are doing, who they are talking to and what they are looking for, you will find that there are connections. Whether it is people you both know, subjects you are interested in or services you can supply for each other. You won't know if you don't interact. Even though you look at a brochure or an invitation, you won't have a true clue about its intrinsic values until you participate. Get up, get out, and get involved. There is a lot in store for you, but you won't know until you move forward.
