Step 2: Identify • What do you want. Don’t broadcast-focus. • Who do you admire and why? • If you could help any group, what is it? What energies you have that could assist to solve it? • What problem do you want to solve? • What is easy for you & not for others? • Sometimes you take a strength for granted.

Join Organizations and Event Associations • Linked In is for everyone • Pick out groups-NJ/NY/CA
