Yesterday I was invited to attend a business networking event called BNI in Southlake. I’m horrible about getting out and networking and generally rely on referral business, but I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet some new people.

The event was early and across town, but I was pleasantly surprised at the content! The meeting was short enough that I didn’t get bored and the presentations were worthwhile.

The meet and greet before and after the event was pleasant and relaxed. I wasn’t there specifically to generate leads (since I hate being too much like a used car salesman at a networking event), but I was interested in learning about some of the different industries the members were in. I’m always surprised at the number of ways people have found to be successful, and I like to listen to them talk about their businesses.

I’m definitely going to get involved in either this group or one similar, and hats off to the BNI group.
