In addition to both of those very important aspects you'll also meet more people and you never know when someone you meet today could be important tomorrow. If nothing else being involved gives you practice in becoming more comfortable with more people. (And you just might meet a friend who can't help you in business but adds a great deal to your life on the personal side.) I'm reading this great book on women's networking, confidence building and going after their dreams and the value of meeting people, and relationship building is stressed time and again. (The book is "The Power of Women United," by <a href="http://www.powerofwomenunited.com" rel="nofollow"> Tina Dezsi and Lisa Bandola.</a> It's a series of articles by more than 20 women and how they became successful.) One woman talks about all the moves she did in growing up, and how they helped make her who she is. It's all part of the same thing, to me.
