Title: Clients don&#x27;t come knocking to my door in troves (yet), so I have to go and meet people to fill my pipeline.<p>I understand that when networking, you don&#x27;t want to be in sales mode&#x2F;handing out business cards because no-one wants to talk to somebody like this. Instead, you should listen to people, inquire about their business, find out what their problems are, and offer useful advice. If they need your services, they&#x27;ll have you in mind when the time is right, but not if you were pushy when you met.<p>My biggest hurdle though is that I am an introvert and would much rather stay at home than going to an event with dozens or hundred of people and introduce myself. I dread it, and it sucks the energy away from me. But I&#x27;ll never get enough business if I don&#x27;t.<p>How do you fellow introvert freelancers deal with this?<p>How do you motivate yourself to get out of the house and talk to strangers for hours on end early in the morning or after work?<p>Are there any tips you&#x27;re using?<p>Does it get easier?
