Our careers are like a garden. Each company is a flower bed and each person within that little bed, is an employee. You are the bee, jumping from flower to flower to keep your garden looking beautiful. It takes nurturing to grow somewhere. Nurturing is easy, all it takes is a little networking.

Networking is just planting a seed. You reach out and create relationships and you get your name out there in the process. Now, it’s easier than ever to grow a garden! Before social media we had to do this all in person, but now we can network with people from any company located anywhere. It opens the door to a whole new world of opportunities.

What people seem to forget it that, social media is not just something to be used as entertainment. While it is a great way to get entertainment, we should consider it a resourceful tool that we can utilize to help us achieve our dreams. Whether you’re creating a business, or pursuing a career in acting or teaching.

You can do this by networking.

Networking isn't difficult either! It just takes some courage to reach out to your dream companies and the confidence that you are a good fit for those jobs. What’s even better is that the more you buzz around the world wide web pollinating, if you will, the more connections you make. So, even if you have to start small at least your starting.

I encourage you to begin. Take baby steps and nurture your network. Be intentional within those relationships and ask how you can be of service within them. You'll create a name for yourself and one day a job might just land in your lap because of how you tended your garden.

The question is what companies do you want to be associated with,  and where will you plant your seed to begin growing your beautiful garden?
