5 significant lessons from my personal transformation

5 significant lessons from my personal transformation5 significant lessons from my personal transformationIn the brde six years I learned a lot. But I will only share most significant lessons from my personal transformation the ones that made a huge difference because I actually applied them.I found a lot more of groundbreaking discoveries, but Im far from using them to the fullest. For example, I learned about the Big Potential, but I didnt really tap into it and dont ooze it like the other lessons.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more1. Everything matters.That welches the first lesson I absorbed and used it for a good measure The Slight Edge lessonYoure either going up or down, there is no middle ground in life. Whether you do, or dont do something equally matters. There is so much welchested philanthropisch potential on this globe because people dont get this lesson. We waste our precious time on trivia. Watching TV. Playing computer games. Reading for entertainment only. Watching YouTube. Browsing social media.Trillions of man-hours are wasted every year.There is no such thing as passivity or indecision. Lack of action causes consequences exactly like taking action does. No decision is also a decision, usually a vote for the status quo, but there is no such a thing as status quo.Everything matters. Life is a dynamic process. You either go up or down.Thats why it indeed makes a difference whether you practice simple daily actions or not. A single action carry a little weight. Writing 400 words very rarely is groundbreaking in any meaning. But write 400 words a day and in a year you will have 146,000 words written. It may be a full novel or a years worth of a blog content.And if you do not write those 400 words, but watch funny videos on YouTube, it matters as well. You will not move upward. So, you will slip backward.Its true in business and your career, but it is as true in every single area of life. Health. Relationships. Happiness. Spirituality. Education. Personal development. Finance.At the beginning no one supported me. My wife scolded me. My mom was sorry for me she knew I would disappoint myself once again. She saw me fired up about this or that more than once.I had no clue. I had no resources. I had no network. I had no experience.This lesson, once it clicked, was my anchor. My journey was unbelievably hard in my own eyes.I felt like quitting more times than I can count. There were months where I wanted to quit every single day.But I didnt. I couldnt. I absorbed the everything matters lesson. Quitting was not a way to get me anywhere. Passivity would brought me down. I had to keep going.If you dont design your own life plan, chances are youll fall into someone elses plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.- Jim Rohn2. Consistency is more important than results.I wrote this statement for the first time when wr itingThe species of Persistencein 2014, but I had already had implemented that lesson in my life. I kept many of my habits just for the sake of having them. I knew that if I didnt have some daily action moving me in the right direction then I was almost guaranteed that Id never reach the destination.I had no clue if those specific habits would give me the results I wanted, but I was sure that no habits will give me no results. I had already lived the not much life Jim Rohn talked about and I had no illusions that it would be ever fulfilling. And I hoped to achieve more with my new habits. I already had experienced with some of them that this approach works and I trusted Jeff Olson thatThe Slight Edgeis indeed applicable in every area of life.I was right.I focused entirely on the consistency of my daily actions, not on some specific outputs. Whenever I did that, I was able to achieve or exceed my goals. Whenever I shifted my focus to reaching some specific metric I failed miserably.C onsistency is more important than results because its a vehicle that delivers the results. If you can maintain consistency, the results are guaranteed. If you get results, consistency is not guaranteed. In fact, often when you hit some goal you allow yourself a false celebration and indulge in some not-so-wise behaviors that torpedo your habits.Because I was writing 400 words five times a week I could scale my writing up to six days a week, then 600 words a day, then writing 1,000 words every day. Because I was writing consistently I published 16 books, hundreds of articles and blog posts and over 1,000 answers on Quora. Thanks to this output I earned thousands of dollars that made the difference in my familys life. We bought a home. My wife quit her day job. I downsized my day job to 10 hours a week.It all happened because I wrote every day, not because I set a goal of quitting my day job or buying a home. In fact, the home was nowhere on my radar. Buying it was just a byproduct of my daily actions.In the same manner I achieved many other feats I never aimed for. I was interviewed on podcasts many times. I was published in online magazines to which I never applied. I got coaching clients I never imagined I couldve coached. I joined an American mastermind and traveled to the States twice.I started a book advertising business. I had never dreamed about this. In fact, I was adamant not to provide any service to the self-publishing community. I saw so much hype in this industry that I didnt want to be connoted with it at all.Focus on consistency. Develop habits that will generate results. Eliminate consistency from the equation and you will end up with only life experience at best. You will have no habits, meager results and you will waste a lot of your time and effort on inconsistent rushes of activity.3. Gratitude has an immense power.I had no idea how huge this power was at the beginning. I met with emphasizing the importance of gratitude very quickly in my pe rsonal development restart. Jim Rohn mentioned it off-handedly. Darren Hardy dedicated a whole chapter ofThe Compound Effectto it. It is central toThe Science of Getting Richs concept. I even included it as one of the values I wanted to work on in my personal mission statement.I started my first gratitude journal in September 2012, within a few months expanded it to three journals and it was pure fun for me to write them. But I didnt pay much attention to them.The first time it dawned on me how huge gratitude is when I listened to Shawn Achor onEntreLeadership podcast. I understood that a big part of my success was rewiring my brain into positivity thanks to regular gratitude practice. I had my fair share of disappointments and discouragements, but I kept going because I filled my mind with hope despite the struggles and obstacles.In the same podcast episode Shawn instanced a research where gratitude journaling was enough to rewire into positivity brains of people with a pessimism g ene.My mind was blown away. Then I started sharing my revelations about gratitude with my audience and my intuition was confirmed. This topic was very engaging. People were hungry for this. My best ever Quora answer that was viewed over 400,000 times talks about gratitude. I got dozens of comments for this piece. It led me to writinga comprehensive manual on how to keep a gratitude journaland it became one of my most popular pieces on Medium.Its amazing that positivity of your brain improves everything at once by a significant margin and its even more amazing that gratitude journaling works so fast. 30 days is a blink of eye in human life. Also, gratitude journaling is so absurdly easy to do. It takes maybe a minute or two, you dont need any special skills or resources and the effects are so profoundSince then I consider gratitude a basic tool, tool 1 in personal development. Its doable even for depressed people. It rewires your brain into positivity, so everything else down the roa d can happen- improving your character, habits, relationships, education, career, health everything people are turning into personal development for.Gratitude journaling is one of the very few self things that works in so-called self-help. This is something you can indeed do on its own and get meaningful results.4. All is well.When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it. - BrianTracyMany of Law of Attraction gurus preach the same message. Everything is OK, just believe it.I discovered its true with a one tiny difference. Its not the impersonal enigmatic Universe that conspires for your wellbeing. Its God, a Person. His Providence arranges everything for the sum of good of us all. Hey, He is Omnipotent, so he can do this, as hard as it is to believe.I admit, this lesson was easier for me than for most because I didnt have excruciating struggles in my life. Im aware that bad things happen in this world, Im not blind nor stupid. But I won the lottery of life. My health was always OK, I had a couple heartaches in my adolescent years, but Ive been in a stable relationship for over 20 years. Compared to many others, I had it easy.However, Ive also landseen wrong turning into right so many times that it supports theAll Is Wellexplanation of how life works. There is never something entirely bad, there is always a seed of good in everything.A brother from my church community died of a brain wucherung 10 years ago. He left a wife and four children ages from two to nine years old. Ive seen how they survived. Ive seen the kids growing up and turning into decent young adults. Ive seen his wife crushed with pain, overwhelmed with responsibilities who clung to God and, well, lived. She is one of the most peaceful persons Ive ever met.My cousins son was born disabled two years ago. Doctors have no idea whats wrong with the boy. His brain doesnt develop and the kid lives with a death sentence hanging over his head.My cousin and his wife didn t expect that at all. They have an ordered life, their own apartment, jobs and were prepared to live happily ever after.I, and everybody around, have seen how this situation helped them grow. Their mental and emotional strength is absolutely inhuman. Everybody admires them.My friend, Rebecca Patrick Howard lives with a death sentence as well. She has a genetic disease. Her body doesnt function well on a cellular level which causes chronic pain and an endless string of serious afflictions (like ruptured intestines). She is also one of the best people Ive ever known. She lives to the fullest. She is an awesome mom and an amazing friend.And I can see only some facets of good in the above instanced stories.However, when I look back at my history, I can tell every single time how my struggles were good for me.My first book about writing a personal mission statement became a bestseller. Not in any spectacular way, but it started to sell the first day since I published it and it never stop ped generating sales. I was at the lowest of my capabilities when I wrote it, yet it has been popular and relevant for over five years.It happened because I struggled for years with defining my purpose in life. I had no idea why I lived, and that was the biggest pain of my life. I truly led a life of quiet desperation.Thanks to this struggle, I was able to document my experience with creating personal mission statement after 16 years of complete neglect and impotence in searching for meaning. My painful experience, not wise words, speaks to the hearts of my readers. They can relate to me, thus they can follow me.About two years ago, I was going through the hardest time in my life. My marriage was crumbling and I had no idea how to change that. I also experienced extreme spiritual struggles.That experience cleansed me like nothing else. My spiritual life advanced rapidly. I no longer put trust in my abilities, but rather in Gods mercy and Providence. I was helpless, but He wasnt. I b arely survived that experience in one piece, which showed me how weak I really am. 90% of this struggle happened only in my soul, I really had nothing substantial that brought that pain. Remember my cousin with a disabled newborn. He has real challenges and he is a real hero. Me? I realized Im entirely supported by the Lords hand.Today, I am so glad I had that period of extreme suffering. I learned some meekness and compassion which I hadnt had previously.All Is Well. This belief is the core of my strength. Nothing penetrates the peace that comes from this thought. Yesterday, my 12-old daughter was accused of encouraging her friend to commit suicide. I didnt care for this, not even for a second.Then we checked the chat history in my daughters phone and, of course, no such things ever happened. On the contrary, my daughter was burdened with her friends drama and dark secrets.But All Is Well. I could immediately see through the lies of her friend who tried to get attention and love fr om her parents, hence her self-injuring. She was afraid of her parents to tell the truth, so she accused my daughter. I could see how revealing the truth may be liberating for that family who lives in denial.I saw how my daughter was brave in the whole situation and how profitable the whole experience was for her. My daughters life is pretty much an idyll, so a pinch of painful reality of others was a sober lesson for her.All Is Well. I feel the same about every situation and fear. Its all in Gods hand. In reality, there is nothing to fear. Unpleasant or painful experiences are just learning lessons. In fact, if approached with this mindset, they always make me a better person.I can clearly see Providence working in my life, thus I can sense it in the history of others as well. I was meant to write. This is a purpose of my existence. Millions of views on Quora, tens of thousands of my books sold and hundreds of raving reviews are a proof of that.I was meant to run Amazon ads for oth er authors. If Amazons system would be any better, more systematized, others wouldve had advantage over me. But their system is clunkyto the extreme.My superpower is that I sense numbers, not analyze them. Oh, Im able to analyze numbers, but I never met someone with my ability to judge the numbers by a single glance on a table or chart. I see numbers and I can feel real-life correlations long before I can rationally explain them. This is how I navigate Amazons wonky advertising system.In the last several years, I did things I only wished for or that were never-ever on my radar. Some of them were close to impossible according to experts. I became a writer. I developed dozens of daily habits in a very short time. I became a life coach. I obtained a few professional certificates in my day job. I bought a home I became a world-class expert in advertising books on Amazon.5. Morning ritual.For the last several years, every morning Ive been doing several disciplines right after waking up.I repeat my personal mission statement in my mind. I exercise, drink two glasses of water, pray, look at my vision board, read random quotes in a document with quotes which shaped my philosophy and read several sentences from four books that did the same. I journal and I listen to podcasts or audio programs.When I listened to Hal Elrod on the SPI podcast, I was amazed how much my morning routine overlapped with his miracle morning routine, despite the fact we developed them independently. It was because we both followed the guidance of successful people.I got the idea and a few elements of my morning ritual from Brian Tracy and Craig Ballantyne. Hal had his mentors. Many of successful people have their own morning rituals because they are effective. Period.Your mornings shape your days. Most people are at the top mental and physical shape in the morning after the whole night sleep. If you are an early riser, no one interrupts you. This is even more important in todays distraction-fil led worldBut most importantly, morning rituals work because they are easy to develop. Its relatively hard to develop any new habit whether you want to exercise, read, write, or even start to drink a glass of water.Any moron can develop a morning ritual. Why? Its based on the most reliable trigger the act of waking up in the morning.In fact, as creatures of habit, at least 80% of human beings already have some kind of morning ritual. Kids are waking up, making cereals with milk while watching TV (or YouTube on their mobiles), then grab their lunch box, a backpack and run for a bus.Workers are getting up, shaving, brushing their teeth, making and drinking a coffee, dressing up for work and starting their commute.Housewives are getting up, waking up their kids for school and their spouse for work, preparing sandwiches and/or making breakfast.A key element to any habit is its trigger. If you have a reliable trigger you can hammer a new habit into your brain in no time.Thus, building a morning ritual is childishly easy. You wake up and start doing a new thing. You repeat it tomorrow and the day after. This consistency informs your mind that this is a behavior worth automating and a habit loop is quickly built in your brain.So, you now have this new, highly repeatable behavior. Now you stack another habit on top of that. The endpoint of the first habit creates a highly reliable trigger for a second habit. The endpoint of the second habit creates a trigger for the third one.You can develop a dozen new habits in a few short months with this method.You reap the benefits of those habits and those benefits are enhanced by everything I said above about a morning ritual no interruptions, top mental shape, high willpower, plenty of physical energy and so on.You can improve your health, get the job done, start having a deep spiritual life, get an education, get to know yourself better, become more mindful or sharpen your mental qualities in the morning. Then you go and conq uer your day.My mornings have been an ideal time to get some me time. Im an introvert. Being around people depletes my mental energy. Before I adopted my morning disciplines I never had had time to think. I didnt dream. I didnt plan. I didnt prepare for the day ahead nor for the year ahead. I lived just to go by.My morning ritual provided me with intentionality I very much needed. I got clarity about who I want to become and what I want to achieve in my life. I got so much better at getting control over my thoughts and self-talk. I got to know my strengths and weaknesses. And I took care of myself.My morning ritual became the engine for my relentless pursuit of growth. Only because I was doing it every day I got the stamina, strength and perseverance to keep my nose to the grindstone for long years with meager visible effects.My mornings shaped my days. My days shaped my weeks, months and years.I firmly believe that your habits determine your essence personality, character, persona l philosophy, thinking patterns and everything that sums up to who you are. Thats what the etymology of the word says. You are your habits.There is no easier way to shape your habits than by developing a morning ritual. If you want to transform your life, you should not overlook your mornings.Everything matters. Consistency. Gratitude. All is well. A morning ritual.Take those five lessons to your heart and you will transform your life.

Interns and Workers Compensation Insurance

Interns and Workers Compensation InsuranceInterns and Workers Compensation InsuranceAll states (except Texas where workers comp is voluntary) require employers to provide workers compensation insurance (sometimes also called workmans comp) to their employees. Workers comp insurance provides coverage in case the employee is injured on the job or develops a medical problem or illness because of the job (i.e., carpal tunnel syndrome, or cancer from being exposed to toxic chemicals.) Workers Comp Insurance and Interns Interns, both paid and unpaid, are usually required by law to be covered by workers compensation insurance by the employer with very few exceptions. Student interns (paid or unpaid) providing non-manual services to a religious, charitable or educational institution (covered under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS tax code) are exempt from mandatory coverage (but can also be covered voluntarily). It is important to understand that many states have workers compensation laws t hat automatically bar employees and interns from suing their employer for damages even if an employer broke a law, harmed someone on purpose, or was found negligent. If workers comp is offered as an option carefully consider if it makes the best sense for you. If you are injured at work, you will usually get some benefit payout from a predetermined workers comp benefits structure unique to your state for your injury, but no state offers benefits to match 100% of your income, and in many cases, will limit your medical expense coverage. If you work in a dangerous environment, remember in many states, you forfeit your right to sue your employer when you have workers comp. Workers comp is a safety net to avoid litigation it does bedrngnis provide a legal avenue to file a lawsuit for damages. Before you make the decision to opt in for workers comp check your states department of labor or insurance division to see what the laws are in your state. What It Covers When available or requ ired by law, interns are eligible for the same coverage as full-time employees. Workers comp is not health insurance coverage it is accident, accidental death, and job injury/illness safeguard insurance. If you are injured on the job while interning and have workers compensation insurance, you can file a claim to collect for lost wages and medical expenses for a job-related injury. If you are an unpaid intern, you may still be able to file a claim for medical expenses, but not for lost income. The workers comp system is designed to protect employers from being sued. States that do not allow employers to be sued also require that employers provide coverage to all employees and interns. Employers are not allowed to pass any of the costs of workers comp insurance on to interns or employees. All premiums must be paid for by the employer. What to Do If Injured on the Job If you are an intern and have been injured at work, immediately contact your human resources department or manage r and ask how you can file a workers comp insurance claim. If your employer does not have coverage for you, or your workers comp claim is denied or offers unsatisfactory benefits, contact a workers compensation insurance attorney immediately. In some cases, you may be able to sue the workers comp system (an administrative claim) or sue a third party (civil claim.) Workers comp laws are complicated, and if you have a dispute, it is always best to contact an attorney to at least get a free consultation to explore your rights under your own states law.

How to Network for a Job in 5 Steps

How to Network for a Job in 5 Steps How to Network for a Job in 5 Steps As you seek new job opportunities and apply to job postings you find online, you will find yourself clicking and submitting your resume into a variety of online application systems. And, there are definitelygreat sites to check for online opportunities. But did you also know that during that time many people found new jobs through simply networking? Thats right- job seekers find their next career move by talking to people, attending events, and making connections. Remember the old adage, Its not what you know, its who you know? Well- to a certain extent- Its still true.You will have a unique opportunity when applying for a job (and during an interview) if you have a personal connection, inside information, or knowledge about the company that you get from an in-person or ongoing conversation. Clients often ask where to start seeking ansicht connections and how to build a network. Read further for five ways to incr ease your visibility and potential chances for a new role in the future.1. Attend a networking group in your areaThere are all kindsof networking organizations. Some meet weekly, others meet monthly. Most networking groups have a guest day or an ability to check out the organization one time prior to committing as a member. Take advantage of this opportunity. Many of these groups also have an ability to sub for regular members. Make an effort to be a sub- that way you can gain the connections of the members while sharing your expertise and building your network. 2. Check out your local chamber of commerceMost cities (even small towns) have some sort of chamber of commerce, commercial organization, or business-building network. ansicht organizations typically have a business after hours, morning business connection event, or other events throughout each month. These events are designedto build connections. Make a goal to attend one of these each month and expand your circle of influe nce. Polka Dot Powerhouse is one of my personal favorites- its a connecting organization for women that has allowed me to make new friends, collaborate with business professionals, and discover opportunities for my clients. 3. Schedule one lunch or coffee date each weekIf you are completely out-of-work and havent been able to find a new job, scheduling a lunch or coffee date with a past colleague or a new connection is a great way to network, enjoy time with a fellow professional, and discuss what you could potentially bring to a new employer. By setting a goal of doing this once per week, you hold yourself accountable for expanding your network.4. Build a relationship with a staffing agencyDuring the past, many people viewed temp or staffing agencies as a place to call when they needed assemblers for a week or a way to fill labor-intensive positions. While these agencies do perform these services, they often have professional divisions or employees that are seeking to fill higher-l evel roles in companies. The inside information is this these companies often dont advertise jobs because they are strictly working with the staffing agency to fill the roles. Rather than paying one of their employees to review resumes, conduct interviews, and go through the hiring process, they simply contract with the staffing agency. Its a great idea to let these agencies know that you are available for a new position- they may know of a job opportunity that isnt even out there yet.5. Ensure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-dateWhile this isnt necessarily an in-person networking event, reaching out to a goal of five people per week on LinkedIn will cultivate additional connections. If you are activelyseeking a new job (i.e. you lost your job, have been laid off, and are ready nowfor a new career move), then put that directly into your LinkedIn headline. There is no need to be secretive about it. Send five messages to connections each week and let them know you are ready to make a m ove, ask if their company has any openings, and tell them your most recent significant accomplishment.Heres the thing- these tips only work if you workat them. Set goals for yourself, track your progress, and change what isnt working. The point is this- if you dont work at your job search, then none of it matters. Be positive about your skill-set, understand that you have strengths to bring to a new employer, and dont be afraid to be assertive in your job search. No follow-up (clickhere to discover amazing ways to follow-up) and zero networking simply doesnt equal success in todays job market. Network, connect, and communicate to land your next job opportunityDr. Heather Rothbauer-Wanish, owner of Feather Communications, has been working with job seekers since 2008 to develop forward-thinking, eye-catching, and dynamic resumes for todays marketplace.

6 important disadvantages that can make you successful

6 important disadvantages that can make you successful6 important disadvantages that can make you successfulI grew up in a rural area and attended a small college. Then I moved into the fast-paced business world when I graduated. I didnt have the life experiences of many of my colleagues, or the sophistication that comes with those experiences. There were several times I felt my disadvantages would make me less than successful.Little did I know that my disadvantages would nurture the scrappiness Id need for success down the road.Disadvantages in life, especially big ones, can make us feel like a victim of our circumstances or situation. Those forces are often out of our control but, it is always our choice to decide whether were a victim or a survivor. We can choose to be strong or weak.Big disadvantages are full of opportunities to develop the mental toughness it takes to overcome them. I learned that I could struggle through in my circumstances and survive or, I could bust through them and use that momentum to become successful.Check out this list to landsee why your disadvantages in life were important and how can make you successful1. Money is shortWhen you dont have money, youre forced to use your imagination. Innovation becomes a way of life at a very early age - I discovered that sticks are excellent imaginary rifles and swords, and dried cow pies can be awesome frisbees.Poverty can leave scars because it withholds the things you need and want. As a child, I could either feel sorry for myself and cry like a baby, or I could be creative. Since I was trained at an early age to be creative and resourceful, those traits helped me be successful as an adult. The requirement of entrepreneurship is a mindset that is resourceful, scrappy, and innovative.How To Make It Work For You Cultivate an attitude that says youre out to set new levels of success and not just go along with how things have always been done. Create multiple plans to reach your goal, dont settl e for only one because you never know whats around the corner. Be prepared with a Plan B. And C. You will learn how to turn challenges into advantages.2. Parents and family dont coddleThere were many times as a child when I felt very sorry for myself, but I didnt come from one of those warm and fuzzy families that coddled their offspring.My grandmother had ammo on her Christmas list There are three things you never say to a grandmother who is a crack shot with a shotgun You do it. Its your fault. I quit.But in the process, I learned how to fend for myself. If I found myself in a tough situation, I had to rely on myself to get out of it.How To Make It Work For You You cannot whine, blame others, or point fingers if you plan to be successful. That means Snowflakes will need to take responsibility for their actions. As an adult, they can no longer act like a baby and cry out for momma.3. Mistakes dont go awayThe better part of my early life was spent as a hillbilly. I didnt have the po lish of a sophisticated upbringing and so I made a lot of mistakes, both social and professional.I learned from each one because I knew one thing I didnt want to make the same mistake twice. It hurt too much the first time to not take the experience seriously and glean as much knowledge and wisdom as I could from it.As I look back and see the path Ive traveled, I understand now that the past was nothing but training. It doesnt define me.How To Make It Work For You Maybe youre perfect and have never made a mistake. That means youre a delicate Snowflake who refuses to take a hard look at yourself. People who become successful understand that mistakes are only stupid if you dont take the time to learn from them. Pinpoint your mistakes, own them, and learn from them.4. Loser friends stick aroundSince our cattle ranch was in a remote part of Wyoming, I grew up with few friends. I was on a constant search to find other kids like me, but there just werent that many. At first, I wasnt picky about with whom I chummed up but that turned out to be worse than having no friends at all. If I surrounded myself with loser friends, I was better off alone.Instead, I learned to make friends and spend time with people who were very different from me. They stretched the way I thought because they were so diverse.We tend to spend time with people who are just like us, but when we do, we lack the feedback we need to force us out of our comfort zones and challenge us to question our beliefs.How To Make It Work For You If youre smart enough to pursue success, youre smart enough to know how to dump your loser friends. Be friendly to everyone, but be smart in how to deepen relationships with people who will inspire and challenge you.Ask questions about where theyre headed in life.Observe whether their actions are consistent with their words.Decide if their values are a match with yours (you do know your values?)5. No easy way outI had to work really hard to get good grades - they didnt come easy. As a result, I knew I would need to develop other traits if I wanted to be successful. I had to excavate my other talents and abilities. In the process, I learned how to tolerate discomfort, frustration, anger, failure, and rejection.Mental toughness requires you to become acutely aware of all emotions so you can make the best choice about how to respond when negative ones pop up. It requires you to accept your emotions but not let them control you.How To Make It Work For You Snowflakes are insulted by microaggressions that they feel are not respectful toward them. Get used to it because in the real world, the one your parents dont own, youll need scrappiness to be successful. No handouts instead, develop the right attitude to make your own breaks in life.6. Breakthroughs are hard-wonSeveral wrong turns were taken during my early years. Many of the breaks I had hoped for fell through so I picked myself up and started down another road. I continued until I finally found t he right path for me.Believe it or not, our best breakthroughs come from stress. Stress is produced when we place a great deal of pressure on ourselves to see how much we can take and how well we respond. This is the secret - the breakthroughs produced by pressure trains us for this thing called life. In a tough situation, stress makes you stronger.We practice over and over again until we have a breakthrough and become someone we had no idea we could become. We all know too much stress can be a bad thing but research shows that we actually need stress to perform at our best.How To Make It Work For You Always have a petri dish of things for which you dont know the answer. The chance for failure should be as great, if not greater, than your probability of success. Youll know the feeling of failure, and your response to it, in a safe environment. When it happens on your way to success, it wont derail you because youve been there before. And survived.Ironically, the disadvantages weve faced in the past were the ones that helped us develop the mental toughness we need to be successful.This article first appeared on LaraeQuy.com.

Supporting Documents for a Job Application

Supporting Documents for a Job ApplicationSupporting Documents for a Job ApplicationWhen youre applying for a job, an employer may want mora information than just a copy of your resume and cover letter. The company may request what is known as supporting documentation to complete your application. Knowing what to include and how to include it will help you stay in the running for the role. What Are Supporting Documents? Supporting documentation for a job application can include a resume, a cover letter, educational transcripts, writing samples, Veterans Preference documents, portfolios, certifications, a reference list, letters of recommendation, and other documentation as specified in the job posting. The information that is required varies depending on the job and the employers hiring requirements. Generally, employers will specify which documents they want to see included with your application. If not, feel free to ask the hiring manager or HR representative what kind of suppo rting documentation to send. Be sure to follow all their instructions about what to send and how to send it. (For example, official transcripts must usually be sent directly from the school or institution.) Why Do Employers Request Supporting Documentation? Getting supporting documentation from candidates helps companies evaluate applications. For many employers, a resume (or a resume and cover letter) provides all the information necessary. Other employers need more information to determine which applicants they will interview and eventually hire. The reason for requesting information is to get a full picture of you as a candidate, or to provide confirmation of the details listed on your resume or job application. For instance, requiring a transcript as supporting documentation allows employers to confirm that you graduated, as well as your GPA. Requesting documentation can also be a test of whether or not applicants can follow instructions. If a job posting mentions that candi dates must submit a list of references with their application, hiring managers can sort all applicants who did not submit references into the no pile. List of Supporting Documents The following is a list of supporting documents that may be required to be submitted with an employment application. ResumeCover LetterReference ListLetters of RecommendationTranscriptPortfolioWriting Sample (essay, articles, or other writing samples)Employment CertificateCertifications (teaching or computer certifications, for example) How to Submit Supporting Documentation For employers, gathering up all this information at one time, whether its during the application process or after an initial interview, is a huge convenience. It allows the hiring manager to have all the pertinent information about candidates on hand, and cuts back on follow-up emails and phone calls to request more documents. Applicants may find collecting and submitting documents to be less of a convenience, and more of a has sle. Some documents may require a bit of digging to locate. For example, where is your Project Management Professional Certification, and who can you call to get a copy if you cant find your own? Other documentation may require a bit of work to assemble. For instance, if youre submitting a list of references, youll need to ask permission to use them as a reference, and inform them that someone from the company may be in touch shortly. You should also brief them on the job description and remind them about your relevant skills and qualifications for the role, so that they can make a solid case for you. Label Your Documents With Your Name Carefully label and personenname all files, including your name and details on what is in the document. Your references, for example, could be named Sarah-Wong - References or Sarah Wong References. Avoid just naming them references since hiring managers tend to have a lot of files, and wont be able to easily identify your documentation. Follow a consistent naming pattern across all documents. This will make it easier for recruiters and hiring managers and give a more professional first impression. Follow the Directions in the Job Posting Once you have all the supporting documentation gathered up, follow the employers instructions as to how to submit it. Employers may ask for you to upload files or attach them in an email. If employers request specific file formats (PDFs, for instance), make sure to follow those instructions. Submit all your documents at once, with your resume or application. If youre missing something, try to get a copy prior to submitting your application. Save yourself a step and have copies of everything you might need to job search on your computer, ready to compile and send. Bringing Documentation to a Job Interview If the company requests that supporting documentation be brought to the interview, bring a photocopy of each of the requested documents with you to leave with the hiring manager. A lso be sure that you have everything else you need to bring with you ready to go. The employer may request originals of some documents, like transcripts. If thats the case, request them ahead of time from the institution where you received them. To request a copy of a transcript from an educational institution, send a written request to the registrar or guidance office, and ask to have your transcript sent directly to the employer. Some schools may allow you to request a transcript electronically, while others may require a formal letter. Schools generally charge a nominal fee for transcripts, often in the $5 to $30 range. For information on fees and other requirements, consult your schools website or call the office directly to inquire.

Before You Sign a Music Manager Contract

Before You Sign a Music Manager ContractBefore You Sign a Music Manager ContractA goodmusic managercan be instrumental in the success of your musikkapelle. Unfortunately, because your music career means so much to you, it is remarkably easy for a so-called manager to come along and take you for a ride, especially if you are relatively inexperienced. Any contract you sign for any part of your career should be carefully considered by you, but perhaps none more so than your music manager contract. Before you sign, brush up on your music manager contract basics so you can be aya you are making the right decision. Keep in mind that this info is general in nature - your deal may be different. Music Manager Contract Basics There are a few basics to keep in mind about music manager contracts. It Doesnt Have to be Complicated Especially if youre an indie band. Skip the fancy talk, and write a simple document that covers money, the division of labor, and the length of the agreement.It Sho uld be Mutually Beneficial Even if your manager has been at this longer than you, dont sign your life away for a crack at their expertise. A manager who believes in you wont expect you to do so.It Should be Signed in Good Faith If youre looking for loopholes before you sign, or your manager is, there is a problem. The Contract Term The length of your agreement with the music manager is a good place to start. You will need to agree upon a term and a contract cancellation policy. A fair contract term is a one-year agreement, with an option to extend the agreement at the end of the year if both parties agree. At that point, you can look at negotiating longer agreements, but a one year term is a good trial term for both parties. Be wary of giving the music manager options to extend without your agreement if you do, you can be forced to stick with a manager you dont want. Be sure your contract specifies how both parties can leave the deal. The Job Expectations What you expect yo ur music manager to do depends on where you are in your career. If youre a new band, your manager should be promoting you to labels, trying to get you gig, and generally trying to get things off the ground for you. If youre further along, your manager should be making sure other people are doing their jobs to promote your music. Simply be as clear as possible about what you need from a manager, and what they are willing to do. For instance, for an indie band, do you expect your manager to get merchandise made, or will the band take that on? Now is the time to get it all on the table. The Management Fee A standard management fee is usually around 15% - 20% of your earnings. Your manager takes a cut of proceeds from album sales, any label advance, and from the earnings from deals they have negotiated. Some do not get your money from your merchandise sales, your songwriting royalties, or from deals they have not negotiated (unless you have a prior agreement saying otherwise). Keep in mind that if you are a small band who hasnt started making an income yet, 15% -20% of nothing is still nothing. You may want to keep this earning potential in mind when you are nailing down the details of the job expectations. The Managers Expenses Your manager should not be out of pocket for business expenses for promoting your band, but you need to reach an agreement on how expenses will work. You dont have to pay for your managers phone costs or office costs, in fruchtwein instances. You do have to pay for business trips your manager makes on your behalf and reasonable costs like taking a label rep out for drinks. The best way to handle expenses is to pay them at set times, i.e., once a month. The music manager should provide you with receipts for expenses. Include a caveat in the contract saying expenses above a certain amount must be cleared with you first. Words of Caution Music manager contracts can be very specific to your circumstances, and so the advice above is a guide and does not represent not hard and fast rules. The best thing you can do is be as clear and specific as possible, anticipating every bump in the road. If youre a small band, and your manager is going to grow with you, be sure to re-examine your agreement often to make sure it is still fair to everyone. If you already have a record deal in place and have a new manager coming on board, you should seek legal advice to make sure your interests are protected.
