Being stuck in an 8-14hr a day 5 days a week job; Ive been forced out of the "entrepreneur mindset/loop" for a little while now. Recently (like 5 month ago) been making a solid effort to get myself mentally primed again. At work, i've been able to educate myself on new topics (oil and gas in particular, real estate, and search for real opportunities) the knowledge is flowing in, but idk how to leverage this knowledge without capital or seek out a real opportunity. Ive went to try networking but it leads to not following up and no, im not interested in cryptocurrency.
So my questions are...
"Networking" at high end restaurant bars for the sake of getting to know/speak to "Important" people in said industries seems to get me talking to people but nothing comes out of that and costs me a pretty penny. People do say that networking is the way to go, but im not getting results. What would be another option?
(Whats the purpose for me networking? Im fairly new to the area and want to meet people that may be able to offer opportunities to better myself)
Opportunities.
Where do people find these genuine opportunities and how do i get myself in the know? its not like they find it in an ad on the internet or something.
People say "Opportunity will come"... yea, but when, especially since i'm looking and motivated to take action even after working 12hrs a day in this rat race job.
My thing is, if i'm going to be making sales calls and what not, i better be selling for a very high ticket price ya know
