We're all leaving one place and heading towards another. The journey requires that we set out on a path that will require a lot from us. In addition to the difficulties we face in starting a business, changing jobs, getting healthy or changing relationships we also feel the continual pull of gravity to return back to where we came from. We need a group of people who will not only help us navigate the journey itself but who will also fight gravity and beckon us onward towards our best life. For many of us this process of building a new network can seem daunting but there are five simple things that we can do to build our new support network. Key Points: 1. Introduce yourself to people 2. Connect with an existing group 3. Join a learning group 4. Attend a conference or event 5. Hire a coach/mentor What do you want us to talk about? Take the survey.
