This past weekend, I spent hours planting all types of flowers and seeds. Trips to garden centers and big box stores produced a plethora of plantings for the abundantly rich soil here in the Heartland. From Impatiens to daisies to a Ballerina rose from my favorite gift and garden center in Chicago, the flowers were carefully poised and planted in their new environment. Did you know that before planting morning glory seeds, it's best to soak them in water for 24 hours? I didn't know that, but thanks to one of my recent clients, a Master Gardener, it's a good tip to know. Now, back to planting seeds...
Are you in a job search? Is it progressing the way you thought it would? Are things moving along fast enough for you? Have you tended your network, both online and offline? Are you cultivating relationships for a future of abundance, or are you more focused on what's not happening at the moment? Are you weeding out job search strategies that aren't working for you? Are you constantly thinking of creative ways to plant seeds, or have you given up trying to grow something new?
In one of my favorite works by Stephen R. Covey, Principle-Centered Leadership, he writes about The Law of the Farm, page 161:
"The only thing that endures over time is the law of the farm...I must prepare the ground, put in the seed, cultivate, weed, and water if I expect to reap a harvest."
And so it goes with a career transition; consider planting some new seeds today for a more prosperous tomorrow. How does your job search grow?
