6 Figure Career Management

I think there’s far too much talk and pressure about “how to find a job” and “how to reinvent yourself,” don’t you..?

Instead, how about embracing the recession and taking some time off to relax, have fun and veg out?

Just think, you could watch day-time telly (Oprah, Loose Women or the sports channel), go play some golf, visit the gym and sit in the sauna (but tell everyone you’ve been working out), play online poker, have fun on Facebook, hang out in coffee shops and “do lunch” with friends.

You could stay up late to watch trashy “made for TV” films whilst eating a tub of Haagen Dazs and corn chips. Maybe buy some completely useless items from the late night shopping channels and wake up the next day when…..well, whenever you like.

With such a lifestyle, why would you want to spend time looking for a job?

Oh yes, I forgot - it’s not socially acceptable is it? You’ve got to at least “look” as if you’re trying to find work.

So why not bluff your friends and family into thinking you are working really hard at the job searching but sabotage it?!

Here are 5 great ways NOT to get a job (but which make it look like you’re trying):

“Miserable in your job?

Let Careershifters help you figure out WHAT you want to do and show you HOW to make it a reality”

So you want to change career? What’s stopping you?

• Don’t know where to start?
• No idea what you want to do?
• Know what you want to do but not how to get there?
• Can’t seem to find the time?
• Finding it hard doing it alone?
• Need guidance but haven’t been able to find it?
• Haven’t got the money to do it?
• Friends and family think it’s a bad idea?
• It scares the living daylights out of you!…

If you’ve ticked any of these, then this is for you

They say we often teach the things we need to learn the most. I’m not sure who ‘they’ are but I think they’re right.

I’ve just got off the phone from delivering a teleseminar about how to find a job. Whilst, on the whole, it went well - my self critical mind went into over drive straight after I finished.  

Immediately after the call, I started focussing on all the things that didn’t go well (we had some technical problems with the phone line at the start of the call, I over ran by 10 minutes at the end, I spoke too fast towards the end as I was trying cram in all the content and forgot to mention some stuff I’d planned to cover) – all of which began to make me feel a little ‘flat’ and, in that split second, decide that I didn’t want to deliver any further teleclasses I have planned.

I realised it was completely irrational and hit the pause button quickly so that I could walk my talk and follow the same 5 steps I ask my clients to follow after an interview:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
- Albert Einstein

I love hanging out in cafes and coffee shops - well actually anywhere with sofas: hotel lounges, swanky bars, the gym. In fact, I do most of my writing on the Blackberry whilst sitting on a sofa somewhere.

A few days ago I was sitting in a very nice central London cafe enjoying my cappuccino and newspaper when I saw a fly a few feet away from me by the window. It caught my eye as it was furiously trying to get out of the coffee shop by constantly smashing against the window.

Every time it hit the window it fell to the window sill before buzzing and rolling around madly. It would crawl around for a few seconds and build up some energy before flying up at the window determined to get out, only to smash into the glass once again with same result.

“Are you insane?” I thought to myself. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to get out was, to me, ridiculous.

But if Freddie the Fly (I’m sure it was a male fly) shifted just 4 feet to the side, he would have been able to fly out of the coffee shop effortlessly through the open door!

After watching him for 5 minutes I decided to go over and help Freddie out the door (I partly felt sorry for him, but also his buzzing was driving me nuts).

So I went over and gently helped steer him out of the coffee shop through the open door with my newspaper. After initially resisting my help by buzzing furiously and staring at me in a stubborn ‘leave me alone, I can do this myself’ way (…see, I told you it was a male fly!), he realised I was trying to help him and gave in to my support.

Within a few seconds, he was flying out the front door effortlessly into the sky.

Faced with same glass window, what the poor little fly needed wasn’t more determination and hard work, but a different strategy and a little bit of help.

I see lots of people doing exactly what Freddie the Fly did. They keep doing the same things over and over again in the false belief that they’ll get different results if they just work hard.

I’m hearing lots of stories about worried job searchers struggling to find work. And getting further worried as we approach the summer when the job market slows down during the holiday season.

Yet there are still people finding opportunities and finding jobs. It’s hard work and taking much longer to find roles, but people are still finding them.

So I’m ready to share my personal Top 10 Recommendations - the same ones I share with my private coaching clients who have been successful in finding work despite the market conditions.

And best of all, it’s all on a complimentary one-time teleseminar that’s my gift to you, and one that’s also a content-rich preview to some further resources I will be offering in the coming weeks.

Whether you’re out of work and struggling to find your next role, or someone who is concerned about their job security, you’ll get at least TWO NEW job-searching ideas from this call. I guarantee it!

Do you often hear people quoting such cliches?

The thing with some cliches is there is often some truth in them. The truth in these ones lies in the notion that you should give what you yourself want - and when you do that, the thing you want most shows up.

So what is it you most want right now?

* Want more money?
- Give what you can by means of a donation or assistance to someone else
- Help someone else with their investments or money making ideas

* Want more time?
- Give some of your time to others
- Share some time management or productivity tips with someone else

* Want more contacts?
- Connect others to people in your network

For a brief period as a child, my dream was to be a professional footballer (soccer player) when I grew up. My childhood hero was the Scottish and Liverpool footballer, Kenny Dalglish (pictured here). In my eyes, ‘King Kenny’ was a genius with a football at his feet and I wanted to be just like him.
 
But then one day when I was 9 or 10, a school friend called John Ryan (wow, I still remember his name) told me “hey Sital, you can’t be a professional footballer, Indian people aren’t allowed to! That’s why there are no Indian footballers in the league - they’re not allowed. You’d better do something else.”
 
There was no malice or racism in his comment. It was just what he believed, based on the fact that there were no Indian footballers in top-flight football.
 
He was right. There were no Indian footballers on television so maybe Indian’s weren’t allowed to play professionally. I was devastated. (Well OK, devastated for about a week before deciding I’d become a pilot instead!).
 
The Early 1990s Recession
 
Talking of pilots, let’s fast-forward to the recession of the early 90’s when I worked for British Airways for 12 months.

Earlier this week, it was the birthday of Leonardo Da Vinci.
 
That’s right, 15th April 2009 was the 557th birthday of one of the smartest people that ever lived.
A genius, some would say.
 
A Genius - Why? 
 
Well, apart from being one of the greatest painters of all time (who painted The Mona Lisa portrait), he also had many other talents and careers. He was also an architect, inventor, mathematician, engineer, sculpter, anatomist, musician and writer.
 
He was truly multi-talented and achieved success in so many different areas despite having no formal education.
 
You’re a genius too
 
But being multi-talented is not just the preserve of the likes of Da Vinci - you too have many different talents. Your whole team is multi-talented. Your whole organisation has multiple talents - despite having people who are pigeon-holed into different jobs.
