Do you think networking with a like minded person helps you to stay on track with your goals?

Question

I want to start a new business. I have listed some steps that I need to take but I am not making as much progress as I want to make. If I network another person who also has his/her own goals and if we motivate each other to take next steps on a daily basis, would that help us to make progress faster? If so, where can I find another ambitious person who is willing to communicate on a daily basis?

Also, is it better to group together with more than one person?

I know, hiring a business coach would be ideal, but I can't afford one. All my friends are busy and they don't seem to be interested and I don't want to force them.

Answer 1

First off, you are way to structured, you need to loosen up and get open and watching for any opportunity to get what you want. Business is all about adapting and making the best of shifting opportunity.

Like minded people are great, but the best benefit is with people who can add something you don't to your perspective.

Networking with anyone who can give you perspective, information, good contacts, access to whatever you need and they can also be your best customers and or proponents, and you can be theirs.

There is so much that people who work in diverse areas can do for each other if they will, it's mind boggling as any potentially exponential situation can be. The possibilities are only limited to what the minds involved can grasp, and numbers and diverse points of view only multiply the possibilities.
