The following is notes and tips I've applied recently in my successful job search. Mindset via Podcast In 2013 I was lacking in a social life and had trouble adapting to a new country and new dynamic as a father. I simply went onto iTunes top ten podcast and stumbled upon the School of Greatness by Lewis Howes and The One You Feed. These two podcast substituted for my lack of community, and provided refined mindset and positivity to keep a sustainable attitude. If you are the average of your 5 closest friends, you can also mold your mindset to be the average of the 5 podcast you listened to. The people in my group may repeat themselves and keep it cheery, but who wants a Chicken Little. Trust me I’ve worked with a Chicken Little, once that’s shit is airborn it changes direction and comes your way, and that’s an itch you don’t want to scratch. Standout 2.0 I picked this up at Dubai airport on a lark, and this book had a great impact on my growth. There was a colleagu...
I loke the Scott Galloway quote, "When a luncheon speaker mentioes to follow your passion,
they are already rich". I find this true. There are many inspirational people
with one good idea. But this is buried in the myriad of content creations ,
podcast, ebooks. I like to think that if you want a different life, first map
out what that would be. How close are you to achieving this (perfect day Craig
ballyne), funny how Ferriss mentions this in his MUSE workshop, and his number
for a crazy life is around 75k, also the rough tip for happiness beyond this is
diminishing returns. If you want a different life, are you in the wrong
company, check on linkedin the average length of an employee there. If you are
close to the cut off, ask yourself how much more can I grow at this company.
Trust me, this threshold will sneak up on you. If you want to tap into passion,
possibly a side hustle listen to Chris gialliabe, Side Hustle nation, his
podast will trigger idea after idea. IF it doesn’t, maybe you aren’t the type
to be an entrepeaneuur. Are you effecietny organized and your departments
secret weapon. You might be an integrator, a rare species overshadowed by
visioonarys, thingk Steve Wazniak and Steve Jobs (from Rocket Fuel). Work with
a career coach, ato position yourself to be recruited for this coveted
supporting role. But make sure you are keeping some metric to see if you are
advancing o not. Jim rohn says a life worth living is a life worth recording. I
recently had a job interview where I had to provide my annual salary for all my
previous positions…Cool, life has a arc but if you don’t stand back and zoom
out enough you wont see how far you;ve climbed. God forbid, you get fired and
have your world turned upside down. But that line of thinking can help as well, check out James Alutucher, ten things if I was fired yesterday.
