It is always a delight to witness a scene like this. All the pictures I could find of casting a net were peaceful. It is an activity of repetition and the images breaths of patience, faith and hope. Wisdom is what comes from the repetition.
-
Does the fisherman only cast his net when he already knows that his harvest will be great? Or does he patiently and consistently go to the place where fish are and cast his net with the knowledge that it is a means to an end.
-
Does the farmer only plant seeds when he already knows that the season will be favorable and provide a great harvest? What an unreasonable question you may say! How absurd! It is the fisherman and farmers JOB to cast their nets and sow the seeds. The do it consistently, they do not fear the past or the future. They have faith in the present effort. They plan for what they want to happen. They focus on abundance. Now, thats the law of attraction in practice.
Keep these beautiful images in mind when you compare your business networking life to that of the fisherman or farmer. In these calm waters and quiet winds of our economic times, it is our golden opportunity to cast our net more often as we have no obstacle of wind or rain, and we can sow larger fields as we do not have harsh elements to stop us.
What we do have on our side, just as the fisherman and farmer in times of good weather is time? Time to prepare for an abundant harvest.
Networking and building solid relationships are our tools to plan for abundance. It can be an action that brings us peace and pleasure. Cast your nets by going out and helping at your church, giving to others that are less fortunate, sharing your time or talent with the community. Plant your seeds by writing articles, blogs, start a mastermind group, or set a goal of making 100% more contacts than you did the day before. 
These economic times bring opportunity.
Networking, sharing and helping others achieve their goals and dreams, is cost effective and centuries old method of bringing business to us. Give to others, meet their needs, express appreciation and find joy in the extra time many of us have because of these tough economic times.
This is a time for action with patience, in planning for abundance.
Go ahead make someone happy by contacting them, help them to grow their harvest. Call them, send them a card, include them in an activity. Reconnect with old friends, school mates, forgive a grievance and establish new common ground. What you behold you become. Perception is reality. Take action now, be consistent, and keep you focus on abundance.
