Create your career

Hello Readers,

The days of the one job on the resume are over. Today, people have multiple jobs on their resume and it is okay. I still however recommend only going back 10 years. There is no need to be afraid of being on a job for 1-2 years. People are no longer loyal to companies and companies are always seeking new talent. This new wave of job hopping is what I call “creating your career.” If you do not know what you want to do, then try it all, well not everything, but at least try 5 things you are interested in. For example, if you have always wanted to write but you want to start small, be a guest blogger on sites like Mashable and Life Hack. While you are writing you may want to get into selling, therefore check out what is going on in the direct selling market. Next you may want to create an online store and start selling your items on Ebay or Amazon. Now, you may be saying, Marla, these are not careers, my point exactly. Times have changed. You have to create your own future with different areas of interest. For example I love to learn and bring it to my readers so they can enhance their lives and someone else’s, after all this is what it is all about, sharing information. 

Get out there now and create your career, do not wait for anyone to do it for you.

Just GO!

Hello Readers, 

As many of you know I read and subscribe to Success Magazine. If you are not a subscriber I highly recommend you subscribe. One way to grow in your career and life is to read about how others do it on a daily basis. There is no “magic potion” to success, you have to earn it. I heard a very interesting phrase on the Success CD, it stated “be your own prince charming.” I agree with Nely Galan as she stated this profound statement. (If you do not know who Nely Galan is, check out http://www.success.com/). The same is true as it is for the “magic potion,” there is no prince charming coming to whisk you off your feet and take you into success land. I believe that some people think that if they just work a 9-5 and do nothing towards their dreams they will just magically appear or maybe the prince charming will come along and give them their hearts desires. Sorry, it does not work that way, if it did everyone would be where they want to be in life. There are a few steps we must take to get to where we want to be. I will just discuss the most important one which is to just make a decision already! This is sometimes the hardest step; this is why I encourage people to just GO! Just do it. Whatever that “it” may be. Do you want to write the book? Start an online business? Do online videos on YouTube? Just GO! You have something you can teach others. Nothing happens unless you start. I had to start coaching to see if I liked it. I had to start writing to see if it was something I really wanted to do. These were in my heart to do and I just made a decision. Here is the big kicker. If you start and decide you do not want to do it anymore, then you can stop, yes it really is that simple. Be your own prince charming. Do not wait for someone or something to give you a big break, just get in motion. Just GO, I promise you something will click for you.

Here are some steps to get you started:

1. Write on a sheet of paper what you would do for free to service . (Remember everything thing we do is for other people)

2. You can read all the books you want but no one will tell you how to define success, you have to define it for yourself. What is success to you? Write it down. (Remember this is your life story, be proud to write it)

3. Get started researching. What can you do in the next 30 days to achieve what you wrote in step #1? This is not rocket science. Just GO!
