If you’re running all over the place trying to make it to meetings, take a hard look at the return you get on that investment. How many clients have come from each group that you belong to and how many hours do you spend each week or month? If you earn $50 per hour and devote eight hours per month to a group, your personal investment is $400 in labor costs. And if that group nets you just one client every couple of months and that client is worth just $200, you are actually losing money in the long run. This week, sit with your calendar and make sure everything you have in it is an efficient use of your time.
