Meeting new people- activity that makes one nervous

[Jill Johns]

Hi BP group! I've been here for a little while, mostly reading & trying to take it all in, after quickly introducing myself. Slowly I've come around to posting a response now & then, asking a question when one makes its way to the top of my head.

But the biggest question I have (right now, anyway) is this... when a person gets incredibly nervous when it comes to meeting new people (online, on the phone, in person, doesn't really matter how/where), what is the best way to overcome that fear & turn it into something good?

This raises another question... if a person is really that nervous when meeting new folks, can he or she ever really invest in real estate successfully?

I would be really interested in hearing from folks who were nervous in this respect when starting out, but have overcome that fear somehow. Advice? Suggestions? (Tricks to try)?
