Social capital as an economic idea that refers to the connections between individuals and entities that can be economically valuable. This is basically one's network of friends and “friendly” professional colleagues and people who may have the ability to help one in one's career personally, plus they have other friends who can help as well. One's circle of trust should, by nature, be very small. These are people one knows very well and in whom one can confide when needed. These are the people one can discuss one's innermost feelings and secrets without fear of outside disclosure or negative consequences This may help is to simply give one some confidence. Listing these people will probably help one realize how fortunate one is to have as many professional friends as one already have. Another thing to do is build it up and make one's social capital strong, or even stronger than it currently is. The best way to make one's capital stronger is to make the people listed stronger. One's social capital, if allowed, can go far beyond the colleagues in one's industry. One should focus on strengthening one's social capital by strengthening the individuals in it. Once one has a strong social capital like that, when one need something, when one needs some help, it will be there.
