the fear of losing their job.
Not even terrorism can supplant the fear of
a pinkslip in America. The
blow to a person's self-esteem, though brutal,
is only compounded by
the financial and social hardships. Eliminating
your fear is as easy as knowing, believing
and doing. Knowing yourself, believing in
your ability to succeed and diligently completing
each task on the path to get there.
Know Yourself
| |
Do
you know what energizes you? |
| |
How
you make decisions? |
| |
How
you relate to the outside world? |
How about how
you take in information from the world around
you? Your personality is the key to understanding
yourself. It also accounts for 60% of the
decision making process in making a career
choice. Know thyself.

|
| |
Know
Your Profession
This is your career choice. If you cannot
name your profession, than you are at
the mercy of the unemployment market.
A profession is a discipline built with
education, training and experience.
It is transferable among industries.
A profession may change over time, but
the stability endures. |

|
| |
Know
Your Industry
An industry provides products or services
that meet our human needs. They are
a cluster of organizations that can
endure over time. However, industries
go up and down depending on supply
on demand. You cannot count on an
industry above. Your skills and abilities
are transferable among industries.
|
| |
|
| |
Know
Your Organization
A group of people who work together
toward one purpose is an organization.
An organization's size can range from
one person to huge conglomerate. Companies
go in business and out of business every
day. They often buy or merge with other
companies. You cannot depend on an organization
for. |
| |
|
| |
Know
Your Job
This is the work that you do on a daily
basis. All illustrious and accomplished
careers are actually just jobs performed
over and over again. Your job, as you
are probably aware, is constantly changing.
Jobs can also be easily eliminated.
You need to protect yourself from the
fiscal economy by investing in the new
economy, the "You" Economy. Protect
yourself for the country's fiscal economy
by applying the Work Smart! blueprint
to your strategic career plan, and you'll
be well on your way to success. Remember,
it's not what you do, it's why you do
it. |

Work
Smart! In Your Life…
Our research over the years has led us to
talk personally with thousands of people,
successful and otherwise. Utilizing the wealth
of information we gleaned from those conversations
led to the development of our Work Smart blueprint.
It includes all the tools and materials needed
to build a solid foundation for success, not
only in your career, but in your life as well..
It's the first step…
1. Intent A man traveled in the highest
peak of the Himalayans and sought the advice
of a great wise guru. "Oh, Great Master, how
can I make decisions that will succeed over
time?" The great master looked the man in
the eye and said, "It's not what you do that
determines your success, it's why
you do it." Can you remember to start with
an intent that is beautiful, just and perfect?
If so, you,
too, shall succeed over time. Remember: I
win, You win, We all win!
2. Beliefs Everyone creates their own
reality according to their expectations and
beliefs. Yet very
few people ever examine their beliefs. Beliefs
are imposed upon and accepted by the individual
from birth to death. They are a vital component
of the Blueprint for Success. Luckily, they
can be
changed. Examine the beliefs that are holding
you back, and change them. Yo will find that
your imagination and feeling will follow your
belief; not the other way around.
3. Personality Every morning when you
wake, you put on your personality glasses.
These
personality preferences determining how you
look at the world. They determine how you
take in information, how you make decisions,
how you orient yourself to the outside world,
and how you energize yourself. Your personality
plays such a big part in how you portray yourself,
and yet, very few people are aware of this
intimate relationship with themselves. You
are a human being of great value and worth.
You have gifts, abilities and great potential.
Learn about them so you can utilize
your talents.
4. Reality There are truths that operate
in harmony with the universe.With every thought,
your create. You create your own reality according
to your expectations and beliefs. Think about
a situation that
is troubling you and ask yourself, "What do
I expect to happen?" and "What do I believe
will
happen?" Now remember, you create your own
reality. This means that what happens around
you is not happening to you; instead, you
are happening to it. You create it, maintain
it and experience it. You live it. After all,
your reality follows your expectations and
beliefs. |
