    Discussion 10.

    1: Expanding Your Network

    Review the TED Talk from this week's readings: "The Secret to Great Opportunities is the Person
    You Haven't Met Yet."

    Ms. Menon challenges us to realize our networks are too predictable, and challenges us to "fight
    our filters." Doing so so will widen our social network, which can only lead to more
    opportunities. In Menon's words, “Your ‘weak’ [networking] ties are a new ticket to a whole
    new social world. The thing is... we don’t use this ticket very well. Sometimes we stay awfully
    close to home."

    What specific actions can you take to support your network and then expand it? Also, what
    online tools/apps can you use to help you expand or better use your network? (Hint: What
    routines/social habits can you switch? Or, take some time to research one of the following tools:
    LinkedIn, Shapr, Bizzabo, or Invitly, and share how you could use it in the future.)

    This year I found myself searching for better opportunities. I want more out of life, and I will not
    stop until I'm finically free. The things that I will do to improve on networking and expanding is
    reaching out to my college friends. I know some of them are in their careers and thriving at the
    moment. Also, I will try to connect with people on LinkedIn. That is one social media that I need
    to try building a pipeline on. As we all know, times have definitely changed. Back in the day it
    was all about what you know, but nowadays it's about who you know.
