How to Find More Time to Reach Your Goals - Classy Career Girl

How to Find More Time to Reach Your Goals You becoming the success you know you can be is a priority right now. You need to prioritize and make the most important goals happen in your career or business. It is crucial to make more time in your schedule to move your dreams forward. Its time to make time. Your first step is to get your mindset right. There is no more saying or thinking that you dont have enough time because YOU  are in charge  of your calendar, your calendar doesn’t control you. If you haven’t read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks yet, I highly recommend it.  What Gay Hendricks says in this book is this idea behind Einstein time. This is where you are in charge of your time. You are where time comes from. You can make as much of it as you want. I want you to shift your thinking to this Einstein time, where you experience a major surge in your productivity, creativity and enjoyment. This shift takes place the moment you embrace one profoundly simple truth and that is you are where time comes from. So say to yourself right now, “I acknowledge that I am the source of my time.” And your stress will disappear the moment you accept that  and you really claim ownership of it. This principle allowed me to re-brand and re-launch my website and a brand new course in a week back in 2015.  It works.  So start thinking like a BOSS when it comes to managing your calendar and your schedule! Once you have your mind and thoughts ready, you can  make more time  with these additional strategies. Here are three ways to find more time to reach your goals: #1: Automate Free up your time by automating little things. Little chunks of time can really add up! For instance, instead of paying your bills manually, have your bills paid automatically through your bank with bill pay. Instead of doing your own budget, have a system like mint.com calculate your budget and expenses for you. Instead of telling an employee what they need to do each week, can this be automated in Asana.com? Can your employee know automatically that every  Friday you need a financial report, instead of you telling him or her every week? #2: Systemize Have a system ready for each of your daily and long-term projects. Instead of getting overwhelmed with the big picture project you need to do, break it down into manageable chunks and manageable deadlines for your big goal. Have a system to get things done. If you are job searching, you need a job search system that has your daily actions you need to take to reach your dream job. You need a network organizer and a system to track your results. If you are starting a business, you need to be tracking and monitoring your sales and revenue. You need to be tracking how many people signed up for your email list per day and you need a process for all of these items to monitor if you systems are working. [RELATED: The Top 10 Processes You Need to Organize Your Work and Life] #3: Delegate What tolerations do you hate that you can delegate to free up more time? What tasks shouldnt you be doing? What tasks you not know how to do. These are the items that you should delegate first. Start small. Eventually, you can get to the point where you are doing almost 100% of what you love doing everyday and that you are great at. Some ideas: Hire a housekeeper if you can’t stand cleaning. Ask a friend to come help you clean out your closet. Find a dinner preparation store so you don’t have to prepare dinner. Hire an accountant so you don’t have to spend time to do your taxes. Hire a teenager to run errands for you.  Hire a Virtual Assistant. Remember, this is all a mindset thing most importantly. If you just read the above and said you cant automate, systematize or delegate anything, go back to your thoughts. Start repeating affirmations and filling your brain with positive podcasts and meditations. Start researching mentors and who is already managing to do what you want to do with an already very busy schedule. I promise you.someone is already doing what you want to do who is probably busier than you are right now. See, you can make more time. Everything is possible and you can make this happen.

Now on to the podcast… Download Link | iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast| Podbean | TuneIn | Overcast [3:48] This week, Marc is giving an abbreviated version of one of the talks he has been giving during the book tour, called “Embrace Creative Destruction or Be a Turkey. It’s Your Choice.” Marc hopes you enjoy this episode! [4:03] Marc has given this presentation multiple times during the past month and thought it would be a good topic for the Repurpose Your Career podcast. You can find a blog version of it at CareerPivot.com/surviving-creative-destructionand the PDF version of the presentation can be found at https://careerpivot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Embrace-Creative-Destruction-podcast.pdf [4:30] Marc starts by defining creative destruction as industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, destroying the old one and creating a new one. It has been going on for many centuries. One technology destroys a previous one. Jobs are destroyed and jobs are created. [5:01] Creative destruction is accelerating. Understand it, or become a turkey. Nassim Taleb said, in Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, “A butcher feeds a turkey for 1,000 days. Every day, the turkey’s life remains constant and confirms the surety of his current existence. This is the way it goes. This is the way it always has gone. [5:39] “This is the way it will always go. All his data confirms that butchers love turkeys. The turkey can rest confident in this idea because he has 999 days of benevolent treatment to back it up. Then, a few days before Thanksgiving, everything in his worldview is upturned.” [6:02] This is what Taleb calls a Black Swan Event. All the evidence proves it can’t happen â€" until it does. [6:14] In 1905 there were 400K pianos made and sold. If you wanted music in your house, you bought a piano. In 1877, the phonograph was created but it didn’t destroy pianos. In the 1930s, radio came about. In 1919, phonographs had a revenue that was three times that of pianos. [6:50] It took from 1877 to 1919 for phonographs to start taking over for pianos. By 1933, two-thirds of all households had a radio. In 2013, 30K pianos were sold. Steinway, the major piano manufacturer stopped making pianos in WWII and made coffins. [7:21] What came out of the demise of the piano is the music industry of today, whether online or radio. It took 50 years for the changeover to happen. [7:51] Kodak was in the business of film, not cameras. In the 1990s, Marc worked in an IBM briefing center when Kodak came in for a briefing. Kodak knew they had a problem with the coming digital revolution. They were not sure how to make the transition. Kodak created the first digital camera in 1975. [8:58] The problem was, Kodak didn’t see why anyone would want to see their pictures on a TV screen. So they didn’t do anything with it. By 2001, 26 years later, Kodak was number two in the digital camera market. Marc had one of those Kodak digital cameras. Kodak lost $60.00 on every sale. Kodak declared bankruptcy in 2012. [9:44] The digital image revolution was the creative destruction that took down Kodak in less than 40 years. [9:55] There are all kinds of things that happened as part of the digital image revolution and the demise of the photographic film industry. [10:10] Adobe, Canva, JacquieLawson.com, Steve Coyle Photography and many more are examples of companies created by the digital image revolution. [11:19] Amazon was founded in 1993. Amazon’s business was selling books. It took 18 years to put Borders Group out of business. Things are accelerating. Amazon introduced Prime in 2005. Marc has a Vitamix blender. One Sunday morning Marc broke the glass container. He had a replacement by 5:00 pm from Amazon. [12:27] Amazon is having incredible impacts on all retail. Sears, JCPenney, and JoS. A. Bank are three examples of companies hurt by Amazon. The number accelerates. Fulfillment by Amazon allows anybody to sell online. Last week, Jean LeFebvre explained her offering, Wardrobe Jazz, on Episode 148 of the podcast. [13:11] Marc has a friend who has two products he sells on Amazon. One is a set of gym gloves and the other is a wrist strap for weightlifting. He sources all of his products out of China. [13:59] OnlineSellingExperiment.com is a competitor to the Amazing Selling Machine. They teach how to sell on Amazon. Marc learned about Online Selling Experiment from Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income podcast. Online Selling teaches retail arbitrage for buying things on clearance and selling them competitively online. [15:33] Amazon has created all kinds of opportunities, besides destroying retail. [15:47] Marc takes a moment to talk about the Career Pivot Membership Community, which continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the beta phase of this project to grow and thrive. [16:06] Marc reads a member testimonial from community member Mark: “Wondering what’s next? You want meaningful work and more freedom to pursue what matters most to you in your second half of life? Since joining the Career Pivot Community, I’ve found like-minded people in a similar path. [16:25] “Marc Miller is a master at creating community and meaningful connections. This has been encouraging and informative and a confidence booster. If you want to go further and faster, join Career Pivot.” [16:39] This is a paid membership community where Marc offers group coaching, special content, mastermind groups, branding sessions, Slack channels, and more importantly, it’s a community where you can seek help. Please go to CareerPivot.com/Community to sign up to learn more. [17:00] The iPhone was created in 2007. We used to buy cameras, maps, and newspapers. We used to search for keys. Marc uses the Tile to find his keys. We used to have to carry insurance cards. Now, Marc has his State Farm app on his phone. [17:48] You used to have to buy a TV and buy cable. Now you can get TV directly on your phone with services like SlingTV. Also, Marc can answer all the questions his wife asks him just by “Googling.” We used to have phones on the wall. We now have Skype on our phones. [18:20] We text one another. The most-used app among Marc’s gringo expats is Whatsapp, which is an app for calling and texting without connecting to a phone network. The iPhone and smartphones have changed the world so much. [18:50] Think of the number of products that have been destroyed. Think of the service jobs that have been lost. Now you can order your Big Mac ® on your phone. New industries are being created. Social media brings interconnectedness. We now have the Internet of Things, including the Tile and the Ring doorbell camera and connected apps. [19:52] You can now create audiobooks and other forms of audio. You can have a podcast like Marc, on iTunes (Apple Podcasts). Marc will use ACX to make an Audible audiobook from Repurpose Your Career, third edition. [20:22] All of this has accelerated. Are you scared or excited? This will affect you. What can you do about it? 1) Attend an industry conference every year. 2) Listen to industry podcasts. 3) Get online training. [21:16] Marc has attended the National Career Development Association Conference, several Birkman Conferences (because he is a Birkman consultant) and Podcast Movement. Marc plans to go to the 2020 Podcast Movement conference. Why attend conferences? You need the face-to-face contact with people to keep up with trends. [22:07] Marc either stays at the conference hotel at a discount or at a hotel within walking distance of both the hotel and a Whole Foods store where Marc picked up dinner and the next day’s breakfast of yogurt and fruit. [22:47] Podcasts are a wonderful way to keep learning. There is usually a podcast for your topic of interest. If there really isn’t, why don’t you start one? There are many places to listen to podcasts. Marc’s two favorite financial podcasts are Roger Whitney’s The Retirement Answer Man and Alworth Financial’s Money Matters. [23:58] Marc also listens to Buffer’s The Science of Social Media, Problogger, and Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income podcast. [24:16] Online training is not expensive. Marc gives examples such as MOOC.org, and EDX.org, Udacity, General Assembly, Skillcrush, LinkedIn Training, Coursera, Skillshare, and Udemy. Anyone can put up a course and sell it on Udemy. [25:21] You need to be attending industry conferences, listening to podcasts, and taking online training. If you do not, you could very easily find yourself in a career disaster area. Marc wrote an article on Living in a Career Disaster Area based on two clients who saw their careers blow up in under five years. [25:54] When you start looking at career pivots, look for jobs that have ‘legs.’ Ask yourself if industries will survive because creative destruction is killing so much. Listen to Episode 143 with Russ Eanes. Russ got hit with a double whammy in the business of religious publications. Religion is in decline, and publishing is in decline. [27:08] Russ got really tired of laying people off. There are just so many times you can lay off a friend before it really takes a toll on you. [27:30] Hopefully, you now understand that have to manage your career, your skill sets, and where your industry is going. Creative destruction will continue to accelerate. Where is your career going and where is your industry going? If you can’t answer those questions clearly and confidently, the chances are you will be a turkey! [28:20] Pick up the book Repurpose Your Career third edition and this presentation is essentially found in one of the chapters in it. Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. [28:45] The Career Pivot Membership Community continues to help the approximately 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project grow and thrive. [28:52] This is a community where everyone is there to help everyone else. Marc is recruiting members for the next cohort. If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community. [29:13] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller. Just include in the connection request that you listen to this podcast. You can look for Career Pivot on Facebook, LinkedIn, or @CareerPivot on Twitter. [29:24] Please come back next week!

Job Search Secrets from the Great Depression

Job Search Secrets from the Great Depression Kevin Donlin (co-author of Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0.)researched job search advice in a book published in 1938 to see what was being recommended back then.   The book was written by two women and it was titled We are Forty and We Did Get Jobs.   Donlins post summarizes  three key rules from the 1938 book.   To read his whole post, view this link. 1.   Root out the defeatist attitude A quote from the authors (C.B. Thompson and M.L. Wise) of the book states: “we knew this much: Jobs and a sense of despair do not go together. The defeatist attitude is death to opportunity, and had to be gotten rid of at all costs.” 2. Plan and execute your job search starting with these questions Q. Who wants you to work for them? A. Nobody. Q. Who wants more business or better service? A. Everybody. Q. If you could show that you can provide more business or better service, who will want you? A. Almost everybody These are the three QAs presented by the authors!   Timeless. 3.   Keep Focused The authors continued to ask themselves these two questions: What does he or she need (the company)? How can I supply that need? They didnt include in their search methods posting for jobs online, nor using FB, Twitter or Linkman.   Would they, had these tools existed back then?   I dont think so. What these women  wrote about  was a way a  identifying the  source  of job opportunities.   The very core or root of how hiring happens. All the fancy gimmicks, slick resumes, and bling wont work if it doesnt touch the heart of the matter:   Can you show that you can provide more business or better service! Many thanks to Kevin for finding and posting this great information! Kevin Donlin Kevin Donlin is contributing co-author of Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0. Since 1996, he has provided job-search help to more than 20,000 people.

Challenge Arrive 10 Minutes Early - Work It Daily

Challenge Arrive 10 Minutes Early - Work It Daily Today’s Work It Daily Challenge is to arrive 10 minutes early to destinations, meetings, or other events. Being punctual is a sought after trait - not only by employers, but also by family, friends, and colleagues. Being on time, or early, for things assures others that you respect people’s time. It also benefits you. When you arrive 10 minutes early to something, you grant yourself a few minutes of wiggle room. You have time to breathe or do any last minute preparation. This will help you go into job interviews more confidently, meetings more prepared, and outings with friends more relaxed. Rushing around and being late can be stressful. After awhile, it can take a toll on your health and well-being. So, today, challenge yourself to arrive 10 minutes early to anything you have planned. Better yet, force yourself to do this for the next seven days. After a while, it will become a habit. If you struggle with time management, take an honest look at why you’re always running late. Is it because you hit snooze one too many times this morning? Is it because you got stuck in traffic? Is it because that client call went a little longer than expected? When you identify your time sucks, it will be easier to see what’s holding you back from being on time. And, you can take steps to prevent those things from happening in the future. If you sleep in each morning, force yourself to wake up 15 minutes earlier. If you get stuck in traffic, take a different route. If your client calls always seem to run over, set aside more time for them. What are your secrets to being on time? Tell us!
