One thing holding you back?
What’s the one thing holding you back from taking action in building your network/social life?

There are 2 main things. 1 - Feeling a bit tied to places I already know, where there's always people I already know. Feels weird even thinking about going to high status places by myself and relying on my (not incredible) social skills to meet new people; That wouldn't be enough to stop me, but there's #2: 2) Bad set up. It is currently expensive, time consuming and tiresome for me to go out to high status places; since I'm not near the action, it is also hard to host pre-games or after parties. In any case, I don't even like most of what is considered "high status" here. So I end up barely going out to those places. I'm moving to a better neighborhood in a couple of months and, hopefully, moving to a better country in 1-2 years. Until then, trying to make the best of the situation.
Shut up and Add Value
"I don't have the things I want in life." Shut up and add more value. "I don't have the women I want in life." Shut up and add more value. "I don't have the business/career/job I want." Shut up and add more value. "I don't have the high level friends I want." Shut up and add more value. Every relationship is a value exchange. It's sad but true. There's no such thing as unconditional love outside of a mother's love for her children. I'd even go as far to say that a mother/child love isn't even unconditional especially if a child commits a heinous crime, etc. We need to give and give and give in order to get. Whether you believe in the law of attraction, law of reciprocity, karma or another label you want to slap on it. We simply need to help others in order for others to help us. Where can you add more value in the current relationships in your life? Where can you add value to someone you're trying to network with? It doesn't need to be monumental. Most of the time it's something small that opens the door to learn more about the individual in order to add more value down the road. Comment with one specific thing you can do to add more value 👇

Great stuff! I'm trying to be more of a connector, as it is something that doesn't come naturally at all to me.
Anyone from Brazil?
Is there anyone in here from Brazil? Hoping to meet someone to talk about particulatiries of the country, network and go out together. If you known someone in the Community who is from Brazil, please tag them.

@Ikenna N.o that was a very fruitful meetup! It really helps to not do this alone.
Do you have a protocol when travelling alone?
I usually pay for tinder before I travel so I can start meeting girls beforehand; I edit my main photo so that it says something like "In [place] for a couple of weeks" + emojis of drinks and beach (or whatever the place is famous for) (IN the photo, not in the profile text). Since I can see who liked me, it's a very straightforward process. It works well, especially in places where I look different from locals (Mexico, for instance). But I'm guessing this is a begginer's game when it comes to this here group of men :) So, do you have a protocol when you're travelling alone to a place where you know no one? I'm guessing, in addition to the above: - fix my instagram beforehand and leave it open - bring a tripod for new photos - try to befriend the girls instead of going for one night stand - reach out in IG instead of tinder? (BTW, going to Uruguay in November, if anyone's around)

@Eli Hollingsworth could you elaborate on the ads? What are you advertising?

@Eli Hollingsworth Interesting! Thanks
Remedial Social Skills/Networking Training?
Found this training through a web search...however, I don't think I have the skills or experience to implement any of this. No social media, few friends. Is there a training/course/action-step more geared towards someone like me, who needs remedial/fundamentals training?

@Clan T looks like you need to get out of your head. If I were in your place, here's what I'd try to do to jump start a more social life: - start with low hanging fruit: reconnect with people you already know - read 'How to win friends and influence people' - pick a physical activity to do at least 3x/week (I like lifting weights but I'd recommend something more social for you, like Jiu Jitsu, some sport you like or even Crossfit) - find some other non-physical activities that you find minimally interesting, like volunteering, groups that practice photography, cooking, stuff like that - take the lead and invite your friends and acquantances to go out to places you'd llike to go to, like parks, restaurantes, bars. Tell them to bring more people - register all of those in, at least, some IG stories All those things should make you more comfortable with the next steps in this course. But remember: social media is fake. When checking the example profiles, roll all the way down to the first photos. Those are totally doable, even if you have to get a tripod.
