There’s a great article on venture hacks about going out to the StartupDigest events and making your own luck.  I have to be honest, I’m not really an out going person and making that stretch to actually talk to people is a difficult thing for me.  No excuses, but I think its a byproduct of my Asian up-bringing where my parents always told me not to make a scene and to not cause a stir.  But I’m learning that part of being an entrepreneur is at some level starting a stir and putting yourself out there. So I’m making it a goal this year to put myself out there. I know it’s going to be difficult and at times painful, but I hope it will make me a better entrepreneur.

Also, if anyone suffers social anxiety like I do, email me, and we can start a non-stressful dialogue, and head to one of these things together.
