Networking: Making Right Connections (#42)

In this internet age networking is especially significant.  But the business of networking has been around for ages. 

Human beings have always been joining together – networking – for various reasons: day to day work, special projects, social activities, etc.

Making the right connections or finding the right fit is very critical to networking.  It can either mean success or failure for your project.

Here is a humorous, but true, example of a wrong “fit” or connection:  A man who lived in Europe returned home from work on a bleak and foggy day.  He inserted his key into the door of his house only to find that the door would not open.

After a while of turning and turning the key, he discovered to his dismay and alarm that he was at the wrong house! Hmmm!

Humour aside, it is important to make connections with the right people.  People with similar goals, attitudes, and purpose are critical to the success of any project.

I believe God has designed us to collaborate with like-minded persons in order to achieve His purposes.

And this has nothing to do with race, class or status. Relationships based on these are toxic and self- serving.

What I am speaking about is compatibility in terms of goals and vision, and how these can be achieved.

May God bless you as you network for Him.
