I keep running into people who are actively networking and building businesses but don't know about all the incredible networks and information readily available to entrepreneurs, network and affiliate marketers, salespeople and business owners. Of course, there are also social, food, exercise, entertainment meetings and more. I look at the mission statement for content, agenda and to get a sense of the people participating and the numbers to see if it's worth my time - no less than eight confirmed is my usual criteria (meetup lists the number confirmed). I have been attending at least four meetings a week so I am getting good at assessing their usefulness for my purposes. I think about what I want to get out of the meeting before I agree to attend.
