Meeting new people isn’t easy, but can it be done? Yes. Like anything in life, there is no progress without effort so we must be willing to put in the work. Throw yourself out there, say yes when getting invited to events or experiences, introduce yourself to people and have some patience. So long as we are consistent, we can and will find our people. Today we’re going to dive into the 5 steps that I’ve used in meeting new people and building community.

 

 

5 Steps To Building Community 

• 1 : Look for events or experiences online or through friends recommendations that are being hosted near you and attend one or as many that interest you. 
• 2 : Say yes to everything you get invited to. Don’t worry about who is going. If it’s something you’re available and able to attend, just do it. 
• 3 : Introduce yourself to the people in the room as soon as possible. Break the ice by simply introducing your name and asking them a question.
• 4 : Invite people to come with you to dinners, events or other experiences you plan on attend. It will deepen your relationship with them and be less intimidating when meeting other people. 
• 5 : Create an experience that brings people together and have people bring a plus one which will potentially help introduce you to someone new 

 

 

Challenge for the listeners 

• Consider the steps we discussed today and ask yourself which step you should give a try if you’re in the process of meeting new people or building community. If you have tried all of them and don’t feel like you’re seeing success, which one do you enjoy the most? Whatever one it is, continue to do it. The progress will come in time. If it happened for me, it will happen for you.
