Connect with others based on your shared passions

Instructions

Make a list of what you’re passionate about.
Write down what you’re most interested in and what you enjoy the most in life. This will form the basis for which activities or events you should become involved in.
Invite new and old contacts to join you in doing what you’re passionate about.
Shared interests bring people together for a purpose and foster friendships. When you connect with like-minded people who share your greatest passions, you’ll be able to have deeper and more meaningful relationships with them.
Start following up.
After meeting with the people you wish to create connections with, send a follow-up email or message as soon as possible. Express your gratitude for the meeting and reference a specific memory of your conversation. Reaffirm any commitments, such as further meeting dates. Personally address your message and keep it brief. You may also send connection requests on social media after you’ve sent your message.
