What
To Do When You Get Tired of Networking With People
By Mike Owen
Sometimes we get tired of networking with people. We hit a wall, so to speak.
You feel stale and stuck whereby you don’t know what to do. At this point
you simply have to make one decision. Just take a break.
You have realize that by you taking a break and doing nothing, you actually
will be able to recharge and come back more refreshed and productive. There
are times that you simply need not be productive and take time from people.
In the business-networking world when you have attended many business functions
and seen people over and over, you can simply get bored or burnt out. Sometimes
you have a stretch of meeting “bad” networkers and may even feel that networking
does not work for you. You will feel like not talking, emailing or just not
attending functions you are used to attending. It is that this point you
should check yourself and take a little break so you don’t get bitter. It
happens to all of us.
Take a cruise, fly away somewhere, just do something other than networking
with people for business. You can give yourself sometime not to think about
it, and just enough time to miss it. I am writing this chapter as I am going
through these thoughts. These feelings I could not ignore, after attending
over two hundred events over the past year or so.
Remember, people really don’t want to meet a grumpy or burned out individual.
So, check yourself if you are getting to that point and take sometime out.
Clearly, things are getting fuzzy and you can use this time to get some perspective
or clarity in your life. I usually find that at this point the break can
only help me to come back better and more focused. New ideas can emerge from
more brainstorming and self-improvement can develop from spending more time
working on me.
Recently, I have met so many people who are unhappy while networking. At
some point this can wear on you because you start to wonder if you are attracting
people who are like you. After a short time, these people either disappear
temporarily or you never see them again because they become bitter about
everything.
Don’t get yourself in a position that you can’t see that more harm than
good is achieved by not taking the break you may badly need. Many times
people will not tell you how you come across because they don’t care or don’t
know how to tell you. You may sound too crazy or disgruntled for them to
get involved. Also, participate in some positive activity that encourages
you on a regular basis. Hang around positive people as they may help to elevate
you when you are feeling bitter or down. Don’t take it personally if a “friend”
is sharing with you how bitter or inappropriate you may sound at events.
You are usually the last to find out and only good friends will share their
feelings about your behavior. You could be losing a lot of opportunities
and money and not even realize it.
