Oh, Yes, Dream Jobber… Success is Yours
Written by Michael on February 11, 2009 – 1:14 am -Success is yours tomorrow.
Really.
All you need do is define it by your standards, and not someone else’s.
Stop making it all about the money (unless, after that inner search, for you it really is all about the money).
I define success by a job I love, a home I want to come back to, and a physical surrounding that energizes me.
Oh yeah, and a calendar that I’m in control of… not an employer or “boss.”
But, that’s me… not you.
You define success.
So, tell me, what is it for you?

Lots of ways to find out, and we’ve covered many of them here at the Dialog. Dig around and find them.
Here’s another one:
Cheat.
Find someone you really look up to and admire, for what they do in their world of work.
Then, do what they do (even if you have to volunteer somewhere to start out), and put your own personality stamp on it. Over time that “job” will become you, and you the job… and it won’t look anything at all like the person you stole if from.

Do You Really Need a Resume?
Written by Michael on April 20, 2008 – 1:32 am -Need a resume?
Think again, says guru Seth Godin.
If you’re good, why not show ‘em what you’ve really got? (Hint: A resume can’t do that.)
If you’re not, why throw yourself into the pile?
See Godin’s take on this for more.

Written by Michael on August 8, 2007 – 1:53 am -By Eden Paul
