As he started to look for new job opportunities, he realized that he had been too focused on his work and had neglected his professional network. He had never really invested time in building relationships with peers in his industry. He knew that joining a professional peer group network could help him connect with others and potentially lead to new job opportunities, but he was hesitant for several reasons.

However, John decided to challenge his hesitations and take a different approach. He realized that time constraints were not an issue, as he could make time for the things that truly mattered. John also understood that fear of competition was holding him back and that sharing ideas with his peers would be beneficial. He recognized that he needed to build trust with others in his industry and that he couldn't do that if he didn't take the first step.

John also realized that the cost of membership fees for a professional peer group networks was a small investment compared to the potential benefits he could gain. He recognized that these groups would provide a wealth of knowledge and experiences he couldn't find elsewhere. Lastly, John decided to take a chance on professional peer group networks, despite concerns about a lack of diversity. He knew that everyone had something valuable to share and that diversity brings unique perspectives.
