Making the Connection
Networks are like ecosystems
Networks are similar to ecosystems in that a strong network is one that consists of many contributors adding value to the ecosystem, explains Brett Crosby, chief operating officer and co-founder of PeerStreet. Networking shouldn't be viewed as work but rather an authentic attempt at contributing to something you show genuine interest in, adds Crosby.

Customize your resume to fit each job description but focus on your key areas of expertise in each one rather than laying out a laundry list of skills, some relevant and some not, suggests career expert Wendi Weiner.

Balancing Yourself
Visualization is powerful, but to get stuff done requires legwork
Having a positive mindset, practicing mindfulness and using visualization techniques are effective, but they will not produce results for you without actually putting in the work, advises Jodie Cook. You can ask the universe for whatever you want, Cook notes, but following that up with scrolling through Facebook for several hours is not going to get you there.

Until this week, it was legal for husbands in Saudi Arabia to divorce their wives without telling them. Now, the rulings in divorce cases must be sent to the women by text message or can be found online, and they also must receive the divorce certificate number and the location of where to get relevant documentation.
