You can give your social life the biggest boost by being more adventurous. Connect with someone you normally would not socialize with. Ask your boss to join you for lunch, or find out if your neighbor wants to join you for a cup of coffee. Getting more familiar with unfamiliar people is a great way to stay in tune with what is going on around you. Plus, it’s a great way to lay the groundwork for a bigger and smarter social network. And that’s good for your career!

Fortunately for you, your ego is in hibernation for now. Without that voice in your head, you can focus on a very real romantic possibility. Stick with humility and let things proceed at their own pace.

Concentrate on the common goals that the two of you share. Now is not the time to go it alone. Walk that fine line of musing about the future while enjoying the heck out of the present.

You can use your hidden talents to pull a rabbit out of a hat but of course that is just a metaphor. Make sure that rabbit is the funding you need or the business partner you’ve been searching for. Tell yourself you can do anything.
