Only 10 colleague connections and hour?

Question

Ok, so I'm not a spammer, but I'm excited to actually find potential RE investors here locally in my 100,00 person town and I'm slamming out colleague connections cause I have 2 in diapers and I'm doing REI full time during the day.  Is there no way to be able to maximize my time when I've got it to reach out to other investors?

@Dave Bond congrats on your commitment and networking effort. I might also suggest drilling down a bit and getting some face time with some of the local folks that you are especially interested in their business. It's been my experience that there is more fruit from that labor than having 1,000 connections on the web site. The web site is the start but in most cases meeting in person is what moves the needle.

Happy investing.

@Dave Bond , you should have more than 10 requests available with your Pro status. What is the error message you are receiving?

You can also cancel requests that haven't been answered in a while, and they automatically delete themselves after 30 days.

The other issue I would raise is that most experienced investors recognize a generic, "let's connect" email for what it is, a waste of time.  If your requests aren't specifically tailored to the person you are reaching out to and you don't have specific requests or observations other than "let's connect," then many investors will likely ignore the request.  Not sure if that's what you're doing, but if you are that might be your problem.

I've got the same problem except I have 1 in diapers and 2 literally jumping off the walls and 12hrs at work. I have no time at all but I realized I had to make time. I recently listened to podcast 153 with Hal about the Miracle Morning. I am trying to wake up 1hr earlier just to get on BP and its been great. The peaceful time in the morning is wonderful (before the kids wake up). Its amazing to want to wake up instead of having to wake up. Just something that worked for me.
