Which way do you go?

Today one was of those days when you start out early and come in late. I have been on the go since early this morning. Networking meetings, a mid morning appointment, a lunch event and finally a chance to sit at the computer, open mail and do some work.

But it's not over. In just a few hours I will be jetting out the door to another event. Actually, there are a couple other events I could probably attend tonight if I chose to.

Choosing which events to attend and how many to attend in one day can make even the best of planners and organizers crazy sometimes. The world is an abundant place full of opportunity, potential and chances to meet new friends. But how do you keep track of it all? How do you decide which way to go when you seem to be passing yourself coming and going?

You need to have a plan for the direction you want to move in. If you are promoting your own business, working on a specific project or just trying to network to meet new people, you need to have some idea about what direction you want to go in. A road map not only for the meetings you are going to attend - but how do all those meetings fit into your master plan.

My recommendation - map out a course and direction for your day and pause to think about how all of those events fit into your even bigger map of what direction you want to go in with your business. Take a step back and see the big picture. That will help you see which way to go.
