The key there is "truly let go." And of course, that goes way beyond <em>choosing</em> to let go, which often just becomes a sort of mental game where one tries to convince oneself either that "yes, I have let go" (hahaha - not!) or "I must let go!" (not one millisecond before it happens). No matter how much I try (and I see I mis-phrased it somewhat in what I wrote), letting go isn't something I can do. Instead, letting go <em>happens</em>.

But I've found the thing that caused the paradigm shift for networking for me was, as you say, having absolutely no expectations about who I’ll see, or what I’ll accomplish. When I do that - truly let go of the outcome - then I have fabulous networking sessions, meet great people, and even get business leads. Thanks for a great article.
