Networking as an introvert
I'm doing the research to learn how to begin my real estate investing career. It is very evident that networking is huge and I am an introvert with social anxiety (meeting new people is not terrifying, but it's up there). Does anyone have suggestions to help with this?

I am also an introvert. When I first started going to networking meetings I was overwhelmed. I was also putting too much pressure on myself to meet everyone. I have changed my mindset. Now when I go to a networking meeting my only intention is meeting 1 person. Not only is that easier for me, but it is also better. I have learned that it is better to make 1 good connection instead of going home with 30 business cards.
