The best practical advice I'd seen in this area is to 'be out there'. Because on a typical day the odds of a good thing happening to you from it outweighs the odds of bad things. Staying at home, or in some other comfort zone doesn't increase this surface area. You can call this schmoozing or whatever, but I think it goes further into arbitrary encounters and not being particularly directed but merely recognizing opportunities whenever/wherever they should happen to come up.
