Spiders and webs

Have you ever walked into a spider web? I figure most people have at some point in their lives and I've noticed more webs across the pillars of my porch each morning. And yes, I usually find them with my face! I am also seeing more spiders coming into the house (good thing they don't frighten me), most likely seeking moisture since it is unseasonably dry here.

The webs and the spiders have me thinking about what I am seeking and the connections I need to make to create the business I want.

I seek work as an independent business owner or as a part of an established team.
I seek work that is interesting, creative and rewarding.
I seek work that is long-term with growth opportunities.

But how do I achieve that in this economy? I weave my own web. Not to snare, but to connect in a myriad of ways.

I connect with former co-workers.
I connect with other job seekers.
I connect with new people through networking.

Through online options including Facebook and LinkedIn I am reaching out to more people than ever. Letting them know what I am seeking and allowing them to suggest people, places and share job openings and potential clients.

Spiders don't frighten me and neither does the future. Because I am weaving a strong web of connections. Are you?
