Meetups: Do You Know About These?

If you’re one of the online generation, and by now I hope all of you are, something new has been added.  Well, it’s not that new.  It’s been around a while but people don’t know much about it.  In a nutshell, you go to Meetup.com and create a profile.  From there you can join “Meetups” in your area.  A Meetup is a gathering, or meeting, or activity where people of similar interests get together and do stuff.  Some are business related, some are social circles, but all of them are based around a common theme or interest.

Jenn and I started a Meetup of our own a few months ago.  Ours is centered around what we do for a living – coaching to help people find their 5 most dominant talents, but we don’t charge anyone.  It’s our way to share something we think is very important  - some group coaching - with everyone regardless of their ability to pay.

Meetups can be found on almost any topic you can imagine.  For example, say you want to join a “Real Estate Cash Flow Game Night” Meetup - there’s one for that.  Or maybe you like meditation, or hiking, or biking, or business networking, it’s all there at Meetup.com.  They’re not all free, some have a minimal fee to reimburse the organizer for expenses relative to the Meetup.com fee, or the meeting place, or other expenses incident to putting on the Meetup.

Meetups are a good way to get out from behind your computer, or your TV and get out and meet real people with similar interests.  Check it out!
