Not having any close friends can feel really lonely and isolating.
That's why it's important to learn how to create meaningful connections very quickly.
What I'm about to share with you is a proven process that will enable you to make friends
with like-minded people anywhere you go.
This is the exact same advice that my coaching clients have implemented with great success
so I know it works.
Now it's your turn to get the same results.
Step #1 Define what matters to you
I don't care who you are and what you do, you're not going to get along with everyone
you interact with.
If you have a day job, then you have a limited time to socialize that's why you have to be
clear about the types of people you want to meet.
This is important because it's so much easier to spend time with other like-minded individuals.
Whatever you're into, trust me, there are people out there who are also into the same
things as you.
Remember, you become the average of the people you spend the most time with.
You have to be intentional about whom you keep close to you because your environment
shapes who you are.
To give you an example from my own life, I wanted to be surrounded by positive and highly
motivated individuals, so networking with other influencers and entrepreneurs was a
big priority for me.
Step #2 Show up at the right place
Once you're clear about you want to meet, all you have to do is to ask yourself where
do you think these types of people like to hang out.
Make a list of potential places where you could meet them and then identify which ones
you'd enjoy doing as well.
This could be both offline and online.
Start by finding relevant events in your city and being part of communities in your preferred
social networking platforms.
Show up there regularly, provide value, and engage with the other members.
For example, I'm a member of a few business-related Facebook groups.
I also spend a lot of time at trendy coffee shops, co-working spaces, and personal development
seminars.
Why?
Because I know that the type of people I wanted to meet would also be there.
Where you show up to connect with people makes a huge difference so make sure you do a bit
of research and planning.
Step #3 Organize your own events
Remember, the host of the party has the highest social value so you want to become that person.
People want to meet other like-minded people, so take the initiative and bring everyone
cool and interesting you've met together.
Organizing your own events doesn't have to be anything complicated.
It could be as simple as just hosting a dinner party.
For example, I would organize a get-together at a restaurant where I would invite everyone
I met throughout the week, and I would also encourage them to invite their friends.
The key here is to leverage your existing connections.
This is one of the main strategies I've used to grow my social circle in a very short
amount of time.
Be a good host and ensure you make everybody feels welcome.
Mention something interesting when you introduce people to each other so they have something
to work with.
Hosting your own events is also a great way to get invited to other events.
Naturally, people who attend your parties will want to reciprocate by inviting you to
theirs and now you've just tapped into a new group of people that you wouldn't have met.
Step #4 Keep in touch
There's no doubt that social media has really influenced the way we interact with each other.
Not only is it a great tool to amplify your presence online but it's also very useful
for keeping in touch with your existing friends and acquaintances.
Make sure you add people you meet on your preferred social media platform.
I personally use Instagram as my main platform and Facebook as a secondary.
Be proactive about posting content and videos that are authentic to you and make sure you
engage with your friends content as well.
As you can see, learning how to build a social circle from nothing doesn't have to be difficult.
You just have to be intentional about it.
Implement these tips and you'll connect with more like-minded people in no time.
