Nothing Beats A Good Ol’ Party

mindpetals -- David AskaripourTwo nights ago I attended the Problogger.net bash here in NYC, sponsored by the texlinkads.com, or who I like the call the, “TLA team.” It was an amazing turnout.

Bloggers, programmers, hackers, designers, people curious about the Internet, and probably people some who just wanted to get bashed for free (open bar) all showed up and made for the perfect networking environment.

When it comes to networking and linking up with cool people, it’s all about having fun. Without the fun, then forget about networking. That’s what makes a party so great. I don’t care how small or large your company is, you need to throw a party or at least round up a bunch of people (customers, employees, and partners) and hangout for the night.

If you’re like me, you’re online 10+ hours a day and during your time online running your business, making calls, etc… you probably aren’t focusing on networking, per se. You are running your business, making things happen, and expanding your empire.

That’s why it’s so important to devote time and get out and meet new people. You spend most of your day running your business, so make it a requirement to “let go” and party. It’s a win-win-win: meet awesome people, have a blast, and party!

Definitely want to say thanks to Darren Rowse for making it out to NYC having the bash. Glenn for the awesome conversations. And, of course, to their entire TLA Team who showed me an awesome time at the after party – thanks Patrick Gavin, Chris, and Jay.

Ok, so who wants to come to the Mind Petals Bash? Expect one this summer!

Dave and Glenn

About David Askaripour

I've been thinking about life, existence, and truth for as long as I could remember. When I was about 7 I remember getting a headache trying to figure out who created God...and if someone created him, then who create him? I love investigating and testing, taking nothing for truth that outside my direct experience. At the age of 12, I started my own candy selling business; it grew so large that the principal ended up closing me down (but that was just the beginning...) Through my videos and articles, I share my journey with the world.
