Job Seeking
Dramatic Change in Job Seeking Methods Deliver Results
Become the CEO of MYNAME.INC. No it’s not a legal entity, but it is your own company and you are in charge.
Decisions determine destiny. So right from the start it is important to make right decisions. To do that the biggest mistake too many Job Seekers make is to think, voice and act like they don’t have a job. They need to think like a CEO – turn a problem into an opportunity.
Reframing is the key here. They need to put away the “I don’t have a Job” and replace that mantra to ” I am the CEO of my new company – MYNAME.INC. Whatever their first and last name is plus the dot INC. And at this new company they are the CEO. And it is a full-time JOB of at least 30 hours of intense work a week. So forget about “I don’t have a Job”
Now they must start acting like a CEO and run their job search campaign with organization and resilience. Since they are the CEO they get to hire a non-paid staff of friends – people that will listen and advise. Like all companies they might hire a consultant (Mentor or Job Coach) This may cost a little money, but my pay huge dividends by reducing the time and increasing the success.
They also need to set up an office and organize it for all the documents, and personal brand marketing materials they will be creating.
They also need to use their staff to produce a company Vision and Mission statement that will keep their eye on the ball.
A vision statement is personal and has the end-result in mind. An example would be to “Identify my purpose and passion for life – and land a contract of employment (Job) that aligns with my purpose and passion for my life.”
A mission statement is a high-level concise statement describing what you do to realize your Vision statement. An example would be “Create and Market your Personal Brand that matches your purpose and passion to your target companies needs and wants effectively and relentlessly while helping others do the same.”
I have seen too many Job Seekers approach their daunting task without any structure, organization and focus. Unfortunately they fail over time. If your going to fail – and everyone does, it’s part of the learning process – the key is to be like a CEO and fail fast and renew.

It worked because after 2 years they were voted # 3 Coffee Roaster in the USA. Bob sold Valrico BROS. Coffee Co shortly after for 6 times it’s value.
