 |  Making Proactive Friendships
Do you have any idea where to look for proactive friends? For me, proactivity is a lifestyle but it's so damn hard to stick to it without being constantly motivated by others. These forums help a lot but it's not specifically about making friendships.

I was JUST thinking the same thing. I'm actually going to put an ad up on craigslist and try to get together a bunch of people for socials and stuff. MySpace can be good, too...check out the groups. There's a young professionals' group for NJ alone, and I'm sure I'll find one for entrepreneurs, as well. Another thing that you can do is go to events where other motivated, upbeat people would be. Poetry readings, gallery openings, things like that...take someone with you, if you'd like- then, you won't be kinda floating, floating, floating. Good luck! |

One of my goals for last year was to do aquire a good support network of proactive friends. I have gone a partway to achieving it, but still have a way to go. The way I have gone about it is: 1) Charity work. Meet likeminded people, doing something you enjoy and its good for the soul! 2) Regain lost friends. Get back the good ones you have lost in the past. This is tough and takes quite a lot of commitment. 3) Talk to random people, you will find that you start to filter out people that you woudl like to spend more time with. |

Thanks for the ideas! The random people stuff doesn't work very well for me (tested yesterday) but the rest sounds exciting. I am considering to start a blog/podcast similar to Venture Voice in my country about proactive and conscious living and build a community around it. I have to take serious steps because I'm so tired of average people. They pull me down. Last edited by norbert; 02-02-2007 at 11:20 AM. |
