3 Bad Boss Personalitiesand How to Deal With Them -The Muse

3 badeanstalt Boss Personalitiesand How to Deal With Them -The Muse3 Bad Boss Personalities- and How to Deal With ThemAwful baboes are highly entertaining on-screen (look no further than Meryl Streeps fabulously vicious Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada). But in the real world, a terrible boss is anything but amusing.For all that a nightmare supervisor may make you want to quit your job, thats not always an option. Read on for three common types of bad-boss personalities and some quick suggestions for how to cope.1. Bad Boss Personality The Credit HogI eagerly await the day when all supervisors understand that talking up their employees highlights the value of the entire team- both the fabulous worker and the person smart enough to hire her. But in the meantime, there are some supervisors who think their job is only safe so long as the C-suite thinks theyre the sole person on staff with brilliant ideas.The temptation here is to set the record straight, and shout from the roof tops- or over a group email- that you had the idea that saved the day. But, as you probably already know, a, No, it welches my idea back and forth wont do any good.How to Deal Credit the Team EnvironmentWhat you can do is reinforce the idea that youre a part of a team whenever the project comes up. Think When you hear, It was brilliant of John to suggest we move the annual conference up two months try following up with something like, Yes, the whole team really came together with wonderful ideas to improve on the event weve held in years past.First, this approach makes you look good because everyone loves a team player. Second, it makes you mora likely to be heard than a he said, she said approach. Finally, it still accomplishes your goal of reminding others that John gets his ideas from a room full of staff.2. Bad Boss Personality The One Who Steers You WrongIt can be very frustrating when your boss instincts couldnt be further from your own. You go to him for advice, and instead o f a game plan, you come away with directives you dont want to follow.Frankly, this may be a problem of your own creation. Youre asking for help, and hes trying to provide it. The fact that you dont want to take his suggestions (but feel like you have to) is a different story.How to Deal Ask for Approval, Rather than AdviceTry seeking out a new sounding board. Perhaps your boss always suggests a direct approach, and youd rather be more delicate. Is there a colleague or mentor who seems to always get your approach? Especially if this person is well-respected within the organization, youll be getting helpful advice and an ally all in one.Then, in your next meeting, instead of saying, How would you suggest I tackle this issue? try, I was uncertain how best to approach a client with a difficult personality. Sarah- who also has some tough clients- suggested the following approach, and I think it will work well. That way, youre still keeping your boss informed- and letting him weigh in if necessary- but you should have more opportunities to handle things in a way that makes sense to you.3. Bad Boss Personality The Boss Who Loves to Say NoEvery time you approach your boss with a new way to get things done, she says, No. Whether its about a tight budget, a lack of resources, or just a penchant for the way things have always been done, she doesnt want to hear anything thats a break from the status quo.Well, my question is Are you a glutton for punishment? Do you think that, one day, after months of sharing every idea that pops in your head, your boss will suddenly change her tune and say, Yes, thats a brilliant innovation? (I know from experience Its not going to happen.)The truth is, youre probably fighting a battle you cant win. You want to demonstrate that you think outside the box (which she doesnt value). Or you think your way is better than hers (which she doesnt believe). Or you disagree with how things are done (which doesnt matter to her).How to Deal Take Your Ideas Somewhere ElseIf this rings true, youre not a culture fit. Its hard to hear, because from where youre standing, its your boss who isnt a fit. But if the company decided to place her in a management role, its putting stock in her approach. Certainly you can wait it out a bit, or you can even discuss your frustrations with other leaders or human resources. But if might be a better approach to start channeling your creativity and new ideas toward updating your resume.The supervisor-employee relationship is a significant one, and its frustrating when it feels like its not working. Try the tips above to get back on track.

3 Crucial Ways to Set Boundaries at Work

3 Crucial Ways to Set Boundaries at Work3 Crucial Ways to Set Boundaries at WorkI welches spending a sunny Sunday afternoon at a coffee shop, working on a few side projects I didnt have time for during the week. Thats what weekends are for, right? And judging by the number of people around me typing away on their laptops, I figured that everyone else must be doing the saatkorn.But, as I scanned the room, hardly anyone around me looked too pleased. In fact, they looked a lot like I imagine I do during a stressful day in the office. Perplexed, I struck up a conversation with the woman next to me- and I had my answer. Turns out, her intentions were to work on her blog, but she somehow ended up checking work emails and had been stuck working ever since.Poor thing, I thought. Then, I looked down at my own screen, and with horror, realized I too had been checking work email. In fact, I had spent more time on work than I had on my personal projectsClearly, we all had some boundary issues.An d sadly, I know this isnt unique. We all have the friend who cant make it through a cocktail without responding to an email or text from her anfhrer. Ive had employers whove explicitly told me they expected me to check in or be available basically whenever I welches conscious. It seems like the increasing ease with which we are able to access our work remotely has given employers carte blanche to be in contact with us at all times.Now, Im the first to admit that working on nights and weekends is necessary on occasion, but remember that all work all the time- well, you know the rest. If youre feeling like your work is creeping into your personal time to an unhealthy degree, here are a few steps you can take to help establish (or re-establish) some boundaries.1.Avoid Company-Issued Devices (If You Can)When I started as a manager with a new company several years ago, they offered me a Blackberry (remember those?) on my first day. Since it wasnt required, I politely declined, and as a r esult, never developed an addiction to the device.More importantly, without having to say a word, I established an important boundary with my employer, essentially defining office hours much like your professors in college did. Between the hours of 7 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Friday, I could be found in the office. After that, I was essentially unreachable- unless someone wanted to dig up my personal cell number.Admittedly, this was a few years ago, and things have advanced to a point where most of us can access our desktops virtually, but not having a company-issued cell phone or laptop helps create that division between your personal and professional life and sets the expectation that you wont be taking work home on a regular basis.2. Dont Kill Yourself With OvertimeWhen you first start out in a new job, or even a new role, its only natural to want to impress your new boss. And its easy to be tempted to prove your commitment by slyly replying to emails at ungodly hours or even o n weekends.While this will most likely make an impression on your boss, chances are it will have unintended consequences. Take me, for example. In my first job out of college, I was really eager to make an impression. So, I stayed late, came in on weekends, and checked my email when I shouldve been in bed. The result? I inadvertently trained my boss to rely on me at all hours of the day, seven days a week. It took me nearly four years and changing jobs before I could break that cycle, and believe me, that was an exhausting lesson.On the other hand, I had a colleague who had an active life outside the office. This meant she had volleyball practice one evening, a language class on another, dates on others you get the idea. From day one, she made sure she was in the office on time, completed her work, and overachieved in every way possible- until the day was done. She offered to work late or come in early if needed but made it clear she had other commitments, which helped acclimate our boss to the fact she would be leaving on time most days.Youll be hard pressed to find a boss who will object too much to you working on your off hours (unless shes required to by law), but that same boss will be just as impressed if you can do the work in the 8 (OK, 10) hours each day youre there already. Make the most of the time you have in the office, and leave the rest for tomorrow. Trust me, the work will be waiting for you.3. Take a Day Off- RegularlyIm not sure when this happened, but at some point in my career, accruing vacation time became a bit of a competition. My working-stiff friends and I would slouch over our beers after another late night in the office, bragging about who had more time racked up. It wasnt until several years later- when I met a seasoned veteran who took every single day he earned on a regular basis- that I realized the value of vacation time.While everyone else was working too late hoping to win favor with the corner office, he simply worked efficie ntly, and used his time off as it was meant to be used. And you know what? He was the happiest guy in the office. While those of us who were stuck in the office while he was enjoying a week in Hawaii with his family groused, deep down we all admired him.Companies give their employees time off for a reason- they need it. A little RR will do only good things for your motivation, creativity, and long-term happiness with your gig. Trust me, saving up unused vacation days may win you some sympathy at happy hour, but you wont do yourself or your employer any favors by skimping on time off.As with any (hopefully) long-term relationship, its important to establish boundaries early. And, if things get a bit out of whack along the way, its never too late to re-establish the lines between your work and personal life. In the end, employers know youre more valuable when youre fully recharged after a weekend away from the office- or even better, a week in HawaiiPhoto of frustrated woman courtesy of Shutterstock.

Walmarts MoneyCenters and Other Financial Services

Walmarts MoneyCenters and Other Financial ServicesWalmarts MoneyCenters and Other Financial ServicesWalmart, the biggest retailer in the world, has made a major move into financial services. Some key ventures include MoneyCenters in 1,800 of its 4,300 stores in the United StatesSmall business loans through Sams Club storesBanking licenses in both Canada and MexicoBanco Walmart branches in 263 stores in 31 Mexican citiesA major push for a Walmart Rewards MasterCard in Canada These are variations on two longstanding themes. First, supermarkets have a long history of having existing banks, mainly small local savings banks and thrifts, rent space within their premises for small branches catering to shoppers, usually with extended hours versus those in the typical branch. Meanwhile, Walmart happens to be a major landlord for offices of national tax preparation firms HR Block and Jackson Hewitt. Second, in various other national markets (notably the United Kingdom), large supermarket chain s such as Tesco have a history of rahmen up banking subsidiaries of their own to operate on their retail premises. Some observers have noted that supermarkets tend to be much more serious about delivering excellent customer service than banks, which are more obvious in subordinating service to profit (Special Report on International Banking, The Economist, May 16, 2009). They also point out that supermarkets have a competitive advantage in their low cost of customer acquisition, due to a large number of shoppers that they already serve daily. Walmart MoneyCenters offer these core services Check cashing (being rolled out to all U.S. stores)Money transfersMoney ordersBill paymentPrepaid debit cardsCredit cardsCheck printing (online orders only) Check Cashing Fees Walmart is looking to serve lower-income individuals who do not have banking relationships. Walmart MoneyCenters charge a flat $3.00 to cash payroll, government and tax (but not personal) checks worth $1,000 or less, and a flat $6.00 for checks above $1,000, to a maximum of $5,000. Check cashing services, contrast, typically charge commissions ranging from 2% on government checks to 4% on payroll checks, per the Lex Column in the June 23, 2010 issue of the Financial Times. The Unbanked and Underbanked Market The market potential for Walmart is large since the FDIC estimates that about 17 mio U.S. households, or 7.7% of the total, are unbanked (i.e., with no bank accounts or banking relationships), and roughly 40 million households, or 18%, are underbanked. A 2008 study by market research consulting firm Aite found that Walmart already had 11% of the check cashing market by that time (Banks vs. Wal-Mart Round Two in Bloomberg Businessweek, August 15, 2011). Indeed, Walmart also offers free tax refunds to serve this part of its customer base. Green Dot Stake Walmart also has a small equity stake of about 1% in Green Dot, a payments processor that supports the prepaid and reloadable Walmart Mon eyCards, an alternative for low-income customers who do not have bank accounts. Meanwhile, Green Dot has acquired Bonneville Bank, a small commercial bank in Utah. While this might provide a means for Walmart to add full banking services in the U.S., the company stopped pursuing a banking license in 2007, after facing strong opposition from political opponents and banks fearing competition. Lobbyists for the banking industry are arguing that Walmart MoneyCenters should be regulated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created by the Dodd-Frank bill (also in Bloomberg Businessweek, August 15, 2011). Small Business Loans Members of Walmarts Sams Club stores can obtain small business and start-up-firma business loans of $5,000 to $25,000 through an online application process with discounted fees. Superior Financial Group, an independent issuer Small Business Administration (SBA) insured loans, is the issuer of these loans, not Walmart. Walmart launched the program in 2010, in response to a 2009 survey in which 15% of Sams Club business members indicated that they had been denied credit. Walmart or Wal-Mart The parent corporation is still legally the hyphenated Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. However, the current corporate logo and trademark is a single word without punctuation, Walmart. Some publications, like The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Businessweek, use Wal-Mart. Others, like the Financial Times, follow the lead of the companys own website, which uses Walmart, as does the new signage on U.S. stores. Adding to the confusion, many of the companys trucks still bear the hyphenated Wal-Mart name, and give the companys website as the hyphenated wal-mart.com, even though the web address has since been changed to walmart.com, without the hyphen.

6 presentation pitfalls that can kill your credibility

6 presentation pitfalls that can kill your credibility6 presentation pitfalls that can kill your credibilityI recently attended a conference in London hosted by a very reputable organization featuring speakers from reputable companies. I went there to learn about recruitment industry trends, but instead found myself focused much more on the poor presentation skills of the speakers.As someone who gives keynote talks and hosts workshops for a living, I spend a lot of time regularly developing, rehearsing, and delivering presentations to audiences. As much as I think of public speaking as one of my strengths, I rarely finish one of my own presentations without thinking it could have been better. Theres always room for improvement. A slide that could have looked better. Something I could have said differently. An intro I could have delivered more confidently.So anyway, as much as I critique my own presentation skills, I found myself absolutely cringing at some things I saw on stage at th is conference. Unfortunately, I binnensee these same pitfalls with other conference speakers.Part of landing your next role or building your personal brand is about being able to present yourself powerfully. So here are a few public speaking pitfalls to avoid that I was reminded of that day.Using notecardsBelieve it or not, at many professional conferences I attend, where theres a lineup of speakers from reputable companies, there seems to always be at least one speaker who uses notecards. No joke. At the past three conferences Ive attended in London, including this one, at least one speaker used notecards. This is an absolute no-go. It makes you look unprofessional, inexperienced, and unprepared.If youre going to be giving a talk in front of a crowd of industry professionals, you reallyhave to know your talk inside out.Although rehearsing, again and again, is not the most fun activity, it really helps you come across as polished and professional.Explaining your presentations struc tureNo single speaker at this conference provided a detailed overview of what they were going to cover before diving into the content. Instead, they just started talking, and ten minutes into their presentation, I was left wondering what theyre actually planning to cover, where they were in their presentation, and how much they had left to go.If youre talking for more than two minutes to an audience,you need to give listeners an agenda of what you plan to cover. You dont even have to have a full slide with a bulleted agenda, but you need to at least give a high level, verbal konzept of the topics you plan to cover so people know what to expect and where youre going every step of the way.Self-handicappingSo many people seem to self-deprecate when delivering talks. I realize this might be a bit of a cultural thing here in the UK, and I may be used to more of the American style of presenting. However, it seemed like every speaker I saw on this day seemed to be trying to lower expectati ons before and during their talks. I cant tell you how many people said,I wont bore you with this slide, but . . . orThis wont be nearly as interesting as the last speaker, but . . . Theres actually been a lot of research done into this behavior, also known as self-handicapping. Self-handicapping, in a nutshell, is when youmake excuses and downplay expectations to protect your self esteem. Psychologists like Sean McCrea and others have found is thatself-handicapping actually leads to lower performance.You have to believe in the quality of your talk so others can too. The best presenters Ive seen confidently dive in and act like they know exactly what theyre talking about. Audiences are there to be informed, inspired, and entertained, so if you start your presentation saying how bad its going to be, that doesnt exactly instill people with confidence.Stopping to find waterSeveral speakers stopped mid-presentation to hund down a bottle of water. This really disrupts the flow of a prese ntation and feels amateur. It also signals to your audience that youve reached a point where youre struggling to keep going.Getting everything in place beforehand is what every professional speaker does. You absolutely have to have everything you need within arms reachbeforeyou start talking. That means having a bottle of water, handouts, props, clicker, business cards, and anything else you plan to use for the presentation ready from the start.Using anything other than PowerPoint or KeynotePlease, please, please,dont use Prezi. Its very amateur-looking and simply too distracting. While Prezi was all the craze around 2010 (briefly), few reputable speakers use it because your audience will spend more time trying to figure out the confusing logic of all the dizzying transitions rather than listening to your actual content. Trust me.Stick with the mainstream slide presentation programs. The industry standards for presentation software are eitherPowerPointorKeynote. End of story. These two programs are by far the most versatile, clear, and effective platforms to deliver your presentation.CussingThis seems so obvious, butI was shocked how many speakers thought it was okay to use cuss korrekts during their presentations. I heard one speaker use the word sht three times within the span of 10 minutes. Another panelist seemed to casually inject a cuss word into nearly every paragraph he spoke, which I found offensive.Maybe in their organizations, cussing is acceptable. Perhaps they think cussing is more conversational, relatable, or comical. Maybe theyre simply used to it because all their friends cuss a lot. However, there are enough people out there who see cussing as unprofessional and offensive. You really need to find other words to express your ideas.For all of you out there who think cussing is acceptable in a public, professional presentation, its generally not. I personally find cussing incredibly unnecessary and inappropriate in a professional conference. Pla y it safe, drop the habit, and find other words to express your points.In conclusion Delivering a powerful, memorable presentation requires a lot of hard work, practice, and preparation. A lot of bad presentation behavior exists out there. By simply rehearsing your presentation in advance, providing an overview at the start, believe in your content, organizing your materials from the start, using a professional application, and speaking to your audience with respect, youll be miles ahead of most speakers out there.This article first appeared in Be Leaderly.

4 Ways to Improve Cross-Departmental Communication

4 Ways to Improve Cross-Departmental Communication Team. Departments. Divisions. Silos.Wait, what?If youre notlage familiar with thejargon, silois a term used in business to refer to a group of individuals within a company. Having silos within your company isnt an issue, butproblems do arise when the silos become disconnected from one another, creating a silo mentality. To quote BusinessDictionary, this is a mindset present in some companies when certain departments or sectors do not wish to share information with others in the same company. This mentality can lead to lack of alignment, frustration among employees, duplicate work, and poor customer experiences, to name just a few of the consequences.Whenteams are separated from one another, a weird competitive atmosphere develops, promoting power struggles, job protection, and politics. Communication becomes slow and disjointed throughout the organization. Everyone may be marching in the same general direction, but the plans are different for each team and no one is discussing what the outcomes should be. The company functions awkwardlyinstead of nimbly, which ultimately prevents growth.Keep your internal silos healthy and thriving with these four best practices for better cross-departmental communication1.Clarity Starts at the TopCompany executives and leadersmust get on the same page and meet regularly about strategic goals and company priorities. They must communicate these plans often throughout the entire organization.Working alone or within departments creates differing plans for the same goals due to differing opinions among teams, but when the leadership team communicates clearly, everyoneknows exactlywhat the 3-5 year plan, annual plan, and quarterly priorities are. This allows the entire team to march the same path in the same direction. When teams are working together to accomplish whole-company initiatives rather thanoperating compartmentally to achievedepartmental goals the needle really begins to move.2. Create a Shared Culture, Purpose, and ValuesMuch has been written about the millennial desire to do work that makes an impact, but all generations in the workforce really ?want that same thing?. Identifying and strengthening your company purpose gives employees a clear, shared vision, which creates an environment of trust and fosters increased sharing of information and knowledge.Dont let visions of trust falls and awkward team-building exercises hinder you from taking the leap. Team huddles, notes ofkudos, and quarterly outings are stress-free ways to build a culture of shared purpose and collaboration.3. Streamline Project WorkflowMany operating procedures are set up to move from department to department, dumping the work into the nextsilo on the checklist. This method of operation may seem to work on paper, but in reality, it is clunky and creates internal inefficiencies the lead to poor customer experiences.Instead, create teams that ar e agile and collaborative. What if a designer sat in on your development projects and your developers collaborated with designers? What if your accounts payable person was involved inyour sales team onboarding, so that salespeople would be working with a familiar face when collecting invoices? Your business will benefit from the diversity of thought, and your employees will thank you for distributing the workload more thoroughly.4. Measure What MattersTheres a myth that adding bean bags and ping-pong tables to the office will make employees happier and more productive. However, productive employees are happy not the other way around.Its important to note that productive isnt the same as busy. Employees are fulfilled when they know what outcomes they are working toward and when team progress is transparent. Your teams should feel like theyve had a successful day when they are reporting on key performance indicators (KPIs) and contributing to moving company priorities toward completi on.Many CEOs and executive teams are afraid to break down silos becausethey worry they willlose control. However, when you connect your departments through a shared vision and culture, communication, efficient workflows, and KPIs, you actually ?gain? control through transparency, alignment, and accountability.Jennifer Faught is an entrepreneur coach at Petra Coach.

Turn your Small Business Role into Big Career Advancement

Turn your Small Business Role into Big Career Advancement Turn your Small Business Role into Big Career Advancement While there are certainly a number of reasons you may want to use your experiences at your small employer as a jumping off point for pursuing a position at a larger company, you may also find that you relate so well to your current employers culture or mission that youd prefer staying where you are rather than striking out into the larger world of big business. Whatever your motivation for deciding to stay, be prepared to make your own path as a guide may not be available to nudge you in the right direction.Structured career paths are largely found only within the domain of larger organizations, so it is most likely that you and you alone will be responsible for setting and reaching your performance goals. But rather than ignoring the opportunity to set high standards, use the situation to your advantage and be proactive about adding responsibilities and solving organ izational problems that management may not yet realize exist. Once you take the time to look around and find areas of opportunity to suit your skills, you can move beyond your current functional area and expand your role in the direction you choose.After identifying projects or areas for growth that you can take on in addition to your current task list, it is time to create objectives that follow your self-made career plan and discuss them with your supervisor as your position evolves. Once you have discovered how to measure your success, you gain the experience and self-confidence you need to develop your skills and prove to your boss that you are ready for an expanded role in the company. In reservierung to keep your growth on the minds of the higher-ups, you must regularly reinforce your progress by supplying them relevant information (e.g. financial savings/gains you are bringing to the company) at the proper times.Finally, be watchful for any opportunity to be mentored. Even if your company lacks a formal mentoring program, you can also look around for those who have been around for awhile and have already attained those goals that you wish to pursue. A mentor is someone in a position to see your company, its goals, and its future in a way that you cant. He or she can help you identify potential opportunities or pitfalls within your organizations or share with you the traits that management really looks for in its successful employees.Though the result of your efforts may be that you find your goals and your companys are not aligned and you must consider moving on, you can only gain from taking the time and effort to become more valuable to your employer. So take manahme and carve out your own path to career advancement, even if the future doesnt turn out quite the way you first expected.

You can inquire at your local colleges, libraries, civic centers, etc. Build your skills while making connections and listen when an agent tells you how he or she likes to be approached (e.g., e-mail versus snail mail)- the question will inevitably come up and if it doesnt, ask. Gather Agent Names From Publications or Websites Anotherapproach is to scour the web and other venues to see who you can go to, including the following AAR - Association of Authors Representatives. Theres a list of member agents, with varying amounts of information about them.Publishersmarketplace.com. Go to thesite and type in agents.Youll get a list of pages containing lots of information about agents clients, deals, etc.Literary Market Place. A comprehensive industry reference book, updated every year, usually found in, or accessed from, your local public library.Writers Market. Also updated every year, this is targeted toward writers and widely available from booksellers. Jeff Hermans Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, and Literary Agents. This is an annual publication targeted at writers, published by the owner of the Jeff Herman Agency.Go old school. This tried-and-true honigweinhod is still around because it works. Find the books that are similar to yours in genre and audience, and then look at the acknowledgments- authors often thank their agents. Target Those Likely to Respond to You Many agents stick to a few areas of specialization, whether its womens fiction, memoirs, cookbooks,self-help, or sports. This enables them to know all facets of the particular marketplace. Discover who might be more inclined to want to represent you, consider doing the following Many agency websites list their roster of clients and books so you can see where your book might fit in. Some websites include bios of the agents, th eir particular interests, if theyre open to inquiries, and how theyd like to be approached.Dig deeper into the agents you found on the Publishersmarketplace.com site. These pages have information about agents clients, some of the deals theyve made, and a whole lot more.Mediabistro.com has a Pitching an Agent section that gives detailed and specific information about what selected agencies are looking for. It also has a list of who to pitch at the company and exactly how they want to be approached. You can see if a particular agent is covered and get a small snippet of the interview without being a paid AvantGuild member. Make Yourself Known to Your Target Literary Agents Many literary agents are on social media. Being active andusing best practices on social mediahelps grease the wheels with agents with whom you dont have a personal connection. Agents are more likely to respond if youve met them or if youve been referred, or if youve been actively retweeting their authors. They ll recognize your name when you contact them. Write a Succinct, Professional Query Letter If you have a name to drop at the top of your query letter, go ahead and use it. If youve been retweeting their authors, you may have some sort of social media connection to which you can refer. You need to become a person on paper- someone recognizable. And, of course, being professional is just as important if you were referred- you owe it to the person who referred you, especially if you ever want to use the contact again. What to Include in Your Letter Make sure you proofread your query letter before you send it andinclude the following elements Your connection to the agent in one sentence. For example, you met them/heard them speak at the name seminar. Or, you were referred by name of person. Or, you know they represent your kind of book.State what kind of book it is. How-to? Self-help? Business? Novel? And be specific, what genre of novel?A three- or four-sentence summary of the b ook. Dont relate the whole plot. The more enticing you can make those few sentences, the better. Think what would a book jacket say?Brief background about why you wrote the book, and any positive feedback youve already gotten on your proposal or novel from established sources. Your credentials. What qualifies you to write that non-fiction book? Where has your work been published before? Whats your platform?

New book Breathe in cash out about quitting Wall Street to be yogi

New book Breathe in cash out about quitting Wall Street to be yogi New book Breathe in cash out about quitting Wall Street to be yogi There is a formula many Ivy Leaguers follow. Graduate from your top university and go into finance or consulting whether you really care to pursue the field or not. It is just what is expected. According to The Harvard Crimson,  36% of Harvard graduates in the Class of 2017 who entered the workforce went into the consulting or finance industries and for the Class of 2018 over 50% of surveyed final club members planned to go into finance (compared to 29% of surveyed students who were not members of final clubs.)Other nubile grads may backpack around Europe trying to find themselves or work a variety of odd jobs while considering grad school but for the elite Ivy Leaguers (if they haven’t invented an app) going into finance and earning an inordinate amount of money is the default plan. Madeleine Henry, Class of 2014 at Yale, was one of those people. She was recruited by Goldman Sachs her senior year of college and soon found herself an exhausted, overworked junior analyst (mind you b eing  paid in the top 0.1% of all graduates) but also somewhat miserable. The work culture of Wall Street is one of the toughest climates out there. Weeks are long, people are borderline nefarious, sleep deprivation and coffee addictions are applauded and a life outside of work is but a memory. In other words, it is great fodder for a novel.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!The pressure to be perfectHenry realized this quickly into her tenure at Goldman and began working on it eventually landing an agent and finally selling her book, Breathe In, Cash Out, and is available now (Simon Schuster.) The character of Allegra Cobb sounds quite similar to Henry except exchange Yale for Princeton University (but, hey, Ivy is Ivy) and instead of wanting to become a writer, Cobb dreams of being an Insta-famous yoga guru.When the overstressed Cobb gets an opportunity to work with her yo ga role model (who is also, of course, queen of Instagram and in turn could make her the same) her worlds collide as she tries to earn her bonus while also dealing with the fact that she accidentally slept with her boss and is developing feelings for a coworker. Throw in pressure from a wonderful widowed father who is so proud of his daughter’s achievements and the realization that the grass isn’t always greener even if you are a social media influencer (plus Instagram actually makes the grass look really green and perfect because it is using the Juno filter.)  â€œAt Ivy League schools people don’t see all the career options that are out there. Most of my friends were considering jobs in finance or consulting.   But there are so many ways to make a living and many that offer better work-life balance. I always loved to write but it can be hard to turn your passion into a career,” she told Ladders.What the heck is investment banking anywayOne of the most refreshing aspects of the book is Henry’s (and Cobb’s) honesty when it comes to working in finance. “No one grows up wanting to be an investment banker. Anyone who says they did is lying,” begins Chapter Two. “One of the most common questions to prepare for analyst interviews is: What does an investment banker do? And the truth is, no one f*cking knows.” Henry learned very early on that this wasn’t the career for her, but, again that pressure and arguably that responsibility that because you are smart and have been “blessed” with this extraordinary education you now need to make an extraordinary amount of money, no matter the cost on your mental health  as well as physical health.Though she is not a yoga teacher Henry is actually a hardcore yogi who found release in the wellness practice after she left banking and that very sedentary lifestyle (a typical day kept her in the office from 9 am to 10 pm.) “In my free time I started practicing yoga and following all the yogi influencers. I saw all there poses and just really wanted to be able to do that. They were so graceful and calm while doing these incredible contortions. My relationship with yoga has really been nurtured by Instagram because it gave me access to people I wouldn’t have seen or heard of otherwise. So, I started practicing a lot on my own and then supplementing that with my own research,” she told Ladders.Madeleine HenryThat famous toxic work cultureIn the book, Henry writes, “I start most mornings with three eight-ounce cups of black coffee in a row, then drink at least three more throughout the day. I dilute each with water until it’s tasteless because coffee gives me a gag reflex. But I need it. Almost everyone on the floor drinks an insane amount of coffee (except for the Mormons.) Puja calls it Prozac. An HG analyst passed out in the shower at home from a caffeine pill overdose a few months ago. She was so also on diet pills, though, so it’s unclear what caused the fall. Point being: caffeine is life.” And that is just what she writes about coffee at a Goldman Sachs-type firm. She also writes about how, at least on the analyst level, “Hating your life is a part of the culture.”Henry told Ladders, “In Breathe In, Cash Out” Allegra has a lot of problems with banking culture. Worst of all, she struggles with a lack of meaning at her job. She doesn’t feel connected to a purpose behind her work. As she painstakingly changes bar chart colors at midnight or aligns bullet points in an appendix at 3 am, she doesn’t feel like what she’s doing is worthwhile. ” Henry’s experience doesn’t sound quite as bad and she said she really never experienced the famously bad treatment women working in finance have famously received (see Tales from the Boom Boom Room and watch Equity) but she admits it may just have been because she was at a lower level in her career.    â€œI didn’t feel any unfairness as a woman or targeted as a woman. I felt that women in fin ance were looking out for each other. But I was a junior banker when I left so I can’t speak to being a vice president or a manager. ”And she notes that though finance can be a difficult environment to work in, especially in the first decade of one’s career, many people were born to do it. “I think you need quantitative skills and definitely high energy because you do work a lot, and you need to be comfortable in a very social working environment. Confidence too because you’re learning on the fly a lot,” she said. “Some people do love [this type of work] and I meet them and they are happy as clams and they love the perks. It just takes a different personality type to love it.”The yogi of Wall StreetThis book will speak to people who may be succeeding at work but have something gnawing inside them that makes them want to leave and take a risk. Henry felt that so strongly that she says she wasn’t even scared when she eventually quit (though having a locked-in book de al would help alleviate anyone’s panic.) “I really wasn’t scared I just believed in this book.”Though there is a love interest in Breathe In, Cash Out, the book is really about a Millennial woman choosing the right career for herself. That is the real romantic and ambitious journey. “Now it is on equal footing that you are able to be in love with your work contributions as well,” Henry said..bxc.bx-campaign-1012255 .bx-group-1012255-lyDBLV9 {width: 900px;height: 550px;}

Choose Your Employer, Dont Let The Employer Choose You

Choose Your Employer, Dont Let The Employer Choose You Choose Your Employer, Dont Let The Employer Choose You “If you’re looking for a new job, first decide what you care about and what your values are. Do you care about transparency, honesty, doing good, etc.? And once you know that, you can select the businesses that you want to work with, not the other way round.”To understand the importance and process of choosing an employer, I had a chat with Louis Grenier, Hotjar’s content strategist. His career path exemplifies that no matter how long it takes, it’s worth looking for what youre passionate about. Even if the first step is failure.“You can’t know what the right direction is until you go the wrong direction first”Before finding his passion for marketing, Louis studied mechanical engineering in Orléans (an hour from Paris), armed with a dream to someday build wind turbines. It took him almost 3 years, but he eventually realized that his real talent lies not in building things but in persuading and understanding people. He ditched mechanical engineering and pursued a degr ee in business and marketing.“My dad has been a teacher all his life. He studied to become a teacher and he’s been a teacher for over 40 years. In people’s minds, this is how it should be. But I don’t believe this is the case. I don’t believe anyone should chase that objective.”His next adventure towards his real passion was moving to Ireland where he spent over 3 years working in project management at Renault. Then his journey continued and he got a marketing job at a mobile marketing startup. There, “I made many, many mistakes and learned a lot through the experience.” But he was much more intrigued to do his own thing. That’s when he started a consulting business.During that time, “I started to differentiate between bad and good marketing, the type of marketing you wouldn’t notice because it’s so good,” he said. And that’s when he knew what he wanted to fight against. Shady, in-your-face-marketing.“Good marketing starts with people first, not profits .”He started interviewing people who are doing good marketing and launched his digital marketing podcast, Everyone Hates Marketers, as a side project.“It’s all about tranquility”Having his own business came with a huge amount of stress and pressure on the relationship with his fiancée (now wife), while the podcast was fast becoming the only thing he enjoyed about his work. That’s when he decided to shut the business down, continue with the podcast, and look for a full-time job.Yet, in spite of what could seem like time wasted, when I asked whether he’d change anything if he could go back in time, his answer was a definite no.“I believe that it’s very unlikely to find what you want to do all your life when you’re 18 years old. It’s all about tranquility. The tranquility to know that no matter what, you will get where you wanted to go at some point. But you don’t know where to go until you make a few mistakes and go through stuff that you don’t like.”He deci ded there were only two companies he would consider working for Hotjar and Basecamp. Both choices were based on the values and the culture the companies have. “I’ve been using Hotjar’s tool before in the business. I knew the tool inside out, and I knew it was a remarkable product. That means once you use it, you will naturally talk about it. It’s a pride on its own.”After I asked what advice he’d give to job seekers, he mentioned these three key points:Decide what you genuinely care about and what your values are.Do you care about transparency, honesty, business that is involved in green energy, or maybe just doing good? Then find a business that’s in line with your values and apply there.Be picky.Don’t go to job boards and pick any job that fits your skills and experience. Be picky about what suits you best.Choose a remarkable product or service.Before you apply, try the company’s product or service. Ask yourself:Does the product or service have potential?Do you like it? What do you like about it?Are people talking about it in a positive light?Is it growing on its own; is it its own marketing channel?“If you have those two, you’ll work in a company that’s naturally great. There won’t be any type of tough targets to reach because they’re trying to get by, and you’re gonna feel good and connected with their culture.”Related articles:Santa Claus the man who’s never changed his jobWhat should a cover letter include in 2018?8 Persuasion Techniques to Change Anyone’s MindRelated articles:Santa Claus the man who’s never changed his jobWhat should a cover letter include in 2018?8 Persuasion Techniques to Change Anyone’s Mind“On your resume, it’s better to have more than just a regular career path”When we got to talking about resumes, Louis’s advice was categorical. “Your resume should show employers what you’ve done outside of your job that proves that you’re passionate about something. Match at least one of yo ur passions with a side project. If you have that, I guarantee that you’ll be much more likely to find something. Because people will trust that you can do the job.”It feels like Louis’s story was built on Seth Godin’s words “build the spinner and spin the wheel.” And Louis would know, his podcast became successful enough that Godin himself was interviewed on it.Instead of trying to make the perfect career move, Louis kept on trying new things and side projects, even founded his own company. When it didn’t work out, he moved on and continued trying. And when applying for a job at Hotjar, he made sure he demonstrated that. Showcasing side projects on a resume didn’t only tell employers that Louis had a life outside of his 9-to-5. It also improved his creativity, facilitated learning, and acted as a great self-development tool.If you need inspiration on how to include side projects on your resume, have a look at Louis’s example.

Follow Your Dreams#8230; Even if the Journey Makes you Uncomfortable

Follow Your Dreams#8230; Even if the Journey Makes you Uncomfortable Follow Your Dreams#8230; Even if the Journey Makes you Uncomfortable So, he stayed in his hometown and worked for the next year to save money. During the summer of 2013 he landed an internship with a PR Agency. The agency was headquartered in New York, but his position would require him to move to San Francisco. So, for an internship position, he packed his bags and caught a plane from Ohio to the Bay Area. For the first three months, he stayed with a family friend and during the next three months he lived in a hostel. My friend was hired as a fulltime junior account executive in December 2013, and just last month he finally moved into his own house with roommates. Although David didn’t really know anyone, he picked up and moved nearly 2,500 miles from his comfort zone to pursue his dreams. He wasn’t afraid to be uncomfortable. Then we have Tierra, also a 2012 graduate with hopes of moving to Washington D.C. and attending graduate school. And although she was accepted for the fall 2012 semester, she could not afford to move from Phoenix to our nation’s capital. But, Tierra didn’t give up on her dreams. She deferred her enrollment for one year and moved in with a friend in L.A. There, Tierra worked four jobs- including roles as a barista and retail associate- to save money for her pending move. This young lady had a bachelor’s degree, yet she worked multiple odd jobs just to get by. Finally, in May of 2013, Tierra was able to relocate to DC, find a few roommates and begin graduate school. Like David, Tierra wasn’t afraid of being uncomfortable. Rewind back to 2011 when another friend of mine, Demetrius, graduated from college. He took a step out on faith by moving from the southwest to the east coast (New York) for an internship. Demetrius worked there for one year, even having to take on freelance jobs to make ends meet. He was finally hired on full time and then promoted after another year. In just two years, he was able to double his salary, be promoted multiple times and even purchase his own apartment. David, Tierra and Demetrius weren’t afraid to be uncomfortable. A CareerBuilder study last year found that 44 percent of workers said they would relocate for the right job. Yet, 41 percent of people who relocated experienced loneliness and doubt and 16 percent felt homesick. But the study also found that a whopping 77 percent of workers who relocated over the last year reported that they were happy with the move and didn’t regret their decision. Workers said they experienced the most benefits of relocating in the following areas:  Making a fresh start (30%)  Making new friends (31%)  Having new experiences they wouldn’t have had anywhere else (29%)  Earning at a higher level gave their family more spending options (27%)  Better long-term career opportunities (22%)  Area was nicer and schools were better (19%) I think it’s always inspirational and encouraging to hear “success stories” because it shows us that things are possible. Of course, the choice to relocate to follow your dreams isn’t always so black and white when you have a family or other responsibilities. But, if you’re young, a recent graduate, single with no kids, or just don’t have many real obligations to your current residence, I ask…why not? If you are a recent graduate or unmarried with a family, now is certainly the time to travel and experience new places. Don’t settle for where you are if it’s not helping with the pursuit of your goals. Life is about taking risks, and on the path to achieving your dreams you are bound to be met with adversity. That doesn’t mean you should allow the fear of the unknown or the uncomfortable feeling of stepping outside your comfort zone to stop you from pursuing your goals. As the saying goes, If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Even if you take a risk and it doesn’t work out, you can always try, try again. Besides, the most successful people today reached this status because they weren’t afraid to try new things, step out on faith, strive to reach their goals, and most important, be uncomfortable.

11 Surprising Things Your Boss Wishes Youd Talk About

11 Surprising Things Your Boss Wishes You’d Talk About 11 Surprising Things Your Boss Wishes You’d Talk About Whether it’s taking a sick day or dealing with a task you don’t love, employees can be hesitant to discuss certain aspects of their job with their bosses.But that’s often to your detriment. In fact, there are probably a lot of things you think are taboo, but that you really should be talking about with your boss.Need some proof? We spoke to 11 entrepreneurs from Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) to find out what they wish their team members would tell them, but typically don’t.     1. What You Really Enjoy Doing I wish my employees were more vocal about what they actually enjoy doing at the company as opposed to the usual vocalizing about what they don’t like doing. Then I can ensure that those positive things continue as part of their day-to-day in a proactive way. - Rameet Chawla, Fueled   2. What You Find Boring I wish my employees would tell me what they find boring. I am always interested in how they think the workplace could be made more fun. It’s not something many employees are comfortable talking about, but I encourage the discussion to build a better work environment. - Simon Casuto, eLearning Mind   3. Your Ideas for Automation No one likes repetitive tasks, but most people don’t even think of ways to automate certain processes to make themselves happier and more productive. I’ve encouraged my team to actively brainstorm ways to make their jobs easier with technology so they can work smarter, not harder. This is a win-win for everyone when they recognize opportunities to streamline workflows. - Firas Kittaneh, Amerisleep   4. Your Feedback and Goals Employees usually don’t talk to me about the help they need to reach their goals and follow through on commitments. They probably don’t because they believe they’re not living up to our expectations. As a company, we have a strong “get it done” mentality, which can intimidate some. - Mark Samuel, Fitmark   5. Your Knowledge Gaps Employees tend to hide any knowledge gaps they have in fear they will appear incompetent to their employers. This is unfortunate because offering the opportunity to help employees learn and fill in these knowledge gaps is every employer’s responsibility. Not knowing what these gaps are prevents employers from helping employees grow, which causes undue stress and poor performance.  - Phil Chen, Systems Watch   6. What You’re Thinking I wish my employees would talk to me more about questions or ideas they have. We have an open door policy, so I wish more employees would stop by and be candid, direct, and assertive with me about what they’re thinking. I think they don’t because they’ve been taught you should just conform and do what you’re told. They might have it ingrained in their head to not ask questions or speak up. - Dan Price, Gravity Payments   7. Your Issues With Other Employees It can be difficult to create a culture of positivity and helpfulness while still remaining open to constructive feedback and grievances about other employees. I find that my team doesn’t want to “tattle” and talk badly about others. While this is generally a good thing, it can be a challenge when you’re trying to get a clear picture of an employee’s true performance within the team. - Laura Roeder, MeetEdgar.com   8. How the Company Has Influenced Your Perspective on Life I want my employees to share with me their thoughts on how the company changed their outlook on and approach toward life. I believe work should add meaning and value to your life, and understanding how my company accomplishes that for employees is extremely important. - Kevin Xu, Mebo International   9. What Isn’t Working It’s really hard to get someone to tell you what doesn’t work. But surely not everything is perfect! Get people to tell you a few things that are wrong and make some effort to fix them so they know they can come to you with bigger things. - Jessica Richman, UBiome   10. When You’re Taking Time Off I run my company mostly remotely. I’m based in Denver, but I travel quite a bit, and a lot of my team members live in other cities. I find that in this situation, sometimes employees are timid to say when they’re traveling or working from another city. I don’t know why this is; perhaps it’s something that’s been programmed in them from previous jobs. - Rob Fulton, Exponential Black   11. Your Career Progression I’m often surprised when employees don’t ask about what’s next when it comes to the progression of their career. Unfortunately, many get comfortable in the details of their current role and forget that it’s important to continually push forward. This is important for their own career advancement and helping the company grow to the next level. If employees remain stagnant, so will the company. - Brian Honigman, BrianHonigman.com Photo of people talking courtesy of Shutterstock.

How to get precisely what you want Its time to act

How to get precisely what you want Its time to act How to get precisely what you want Its time to act “Imagination is absolutely critical to the quality of our lives. Imagination gives us the opportunity to envision new possibilities - it is an essential launchpad for making our hopes come true. It fires our creativity, relieves our boredom, alleviates our pain, enhances our pleasure, and enriches our most intimate relationships. When people are constantly and compulsively pulled back into the past to the last time they felt deep involvement in deep emotions, they suffer from a failure of imagination, a loss of mental flexibility. Without imagination, there is no hope, no chance to envision a better future, no place to go, no goal to reach.” ? Bessel A. van der KolkDr. Carol Dweck, the prominent Stanford psychologist did something profound. She changed the way the entire field of psychology is explained and popularized an idea that is so powerful.In her research, primarily among students but also among professionals, she drilled down two core mindsets that people generally fall under: Fixed mindset Growth mindset A “fixed” mindset means that you don’t believe you can learn or develop in a certain area. You are literally stuck and “fixed.”A “growth” mindset means you believe you can learn and develop in a particular area.People who have a fixed mindset have a complete lack of imagination. They lack emotional flexibility. They are trapped in a story. More than likely, they have experienced some form a “trauma” that has them literally living in and repeating the past, day in and day out.When you’ve experienced some form of trauma in your past, you develop a completely bloated and exaggerated fear of risk and failure. You begin living in a very small bubble. Going out of the bubble will push too hard on the emotional pain of whatever happened in your life.So you continue living in the past.You build your life around AVOIDING pain, rather than embracing growth and learning.According to the Nobel Prize-winning research done on what is now called “Prospect Theory,” behavioral economist Dr. Daniel Kahneman showed that people are extremely terrified of LOSS.Losing a possession.Losing a relation.Losing all of the work you’ve put into something.When we have ownership over something, we exaggerate its value by 500 to 700%!Again in psychology, there is another extremely helpful model for understanding behavior and motivation. According to the theory, we learn that people are motivated by either loss or gain by having what is known as an “avoid-orientation” or an “approach-orientation.”Those with an avoid-orientation focus on the risks involved in a venture. They fear failure. They don’t want to lose. They are trying to maintain their current position. They are worried about what other people think about them.Conversely, those with an approach-orientation are far more growth-oriented. They’re willing to play life on offense. They’re willing to RISK THEIR CURRENT POSITION - no matter how much hard work and effort went into getting where they ar e - for the opportunity, not the guarantee, of a better future.People with an avoid orientation want things to be guaranteed. They won’t take risks if the outcome isn’t totally guaranteed. They need security because, in truth, they lack internal freedom. They lack the freedom to play big.They lack the freedom to play.They lack the freedom to fail.They lack the imagination to wonder what is possible.They are emotionally inflexible.They are living from their past.The mindset involved in getting precisely what you wantWith that beautiful backdrop of psychological explanation, I offer you a mindset for getting exactly what you want.Dan Sullivan, the founder of Strategic Coach - which is the #1 entrepreneurial coaching program in the world - has a saying: “Your eyes can only see and ears can only hear what your brain is looking for.”Dan’s observation happens to be rooted in neuroscience. A concept known as “selective attention” shows us that we can literally train our br ains to focus on certain things.You can train your brain to focus on the positive in life.You can train your brain to focus on the negative.Hence, Dr. Stephen Covey said, “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are--or, as we are conditioned to see it.”No one has an objective perspective of the world. We all have subjective perspectives. Each and every one of us has a different brain that has been TRAINED to focus on certain things in the world.What you focus on EXPANDS and becomes real for you. You are, quite literally, attracting into your world everything you are focusing on.Most people have NOT trained their brain to focus on WHAT THEY WANT. Instead, their brain is focusing on what culture, society, and their own history have led them to focus on.If you’ve had hard experiences in your past - which we all have - this may have led you to focus on how things will go wrong. Such “trauma” - no matter how big or small - has you stuck living a shell of existence.So how do you train your brain to get what you want? You imagine your absolute ideal.What is it you want?Where do you want to be?Who do you want to be?Can you see it? Can you see that place you want to be?Can you imagine it?If you can imagine where you want to be, then what you MUST do is trigger that imaginative state DAILY. You must trigger it OVER AND OVER. You must trigger it every morning.You must trigger it and connect it emotionally to your identity, your worldview, and everything about you.If you don’t trigger your imagination every day, then you lack imagination, and if you lack imagination, then you are living in the past and have a fixed mindset.But if you’re willing to play by a different set of rules than others and even by your own past, then you can play by the rules of your future - the rules of imagination.If you play by the rules of your future, then you can operate RIGHT NOW - and every single day - from the notion that WHAT YOU WANT will happen.As an example, when I started blogging 3.5 years ago, I started writing NOT AS A BEGINNER. Instead, I started writing from my imagined END.Stephen Covey explains that we must BEGI N WITH THE END IN MIND. That’s imagination at work. But we need to do more than simply “begin” with the end in mind. We need to operate from the end in mind in ALL that we do.If you CREATE and live from the perspective of your ideal end, then you can START as a pro!How so?Because your imagination and growth-mindset will give you the willingness to learn and fail over and over. You won’t see learning as a failure, but as EXPERIENCE.But you won’t just be failing in the way most people fail in the beginning. Because you’ll see where you want to go AND KNOW that you can get there. So your failure will look quite good to most observers - even if you’re falling flat on your face from your own perspective and emotional experience.There is a big difference between “failure” and “learning,” and it has everything to do with your future and your past.If you don’t evolve beyond your past, then your “failures” will remain a failure and so will you. But if you’re wi lling to embrace a bigger future, then any failure in your past will immediately transform to “learning” and “experience.”Thomas Edison failed over 1,000 times inventing the light-bulb. But none of us consider those “failures.” We consider each one a step forward.However, we only see his “learning” as experience because he ultimately succeeded. Hindsight bias is real. Edison would not be denied. He continued operating from the notion of his ultimate ideal.He made his future bigger than his past.Anyone who has done ANYTHING powerful in their lives or in the world at large operates out of imagination.They operate FROM their future. They know that what they want CAN be theirs - and this internal security and freedom gives them the peace of mind to relentlessly pursue bigger and bigger obstacles and risks to achieve their dreams.When you have HUGE DREAMS you’re pursuing, you will fail a great deal. When you fail a great deal, you learn very quickly.If you’re not emb arrassed by who you were last year, you didn’t learn much.But most people aren’t embarrassed by who they were last year.Why?Because they aren’t pursuing big dreams.Instead, they are living highly predictable lives that reflect their past, not their future.When you are actively and aggressively pursuing BIG DREAMS, you will learn a HUGE AMOUNT.You’ll ride high-highs and low-lows. And you’ll be fine with the emotional journey because you know that as you embrace difficult emotions, you are literally rewiring your brain circuitry.When you rewire your brain circuitry, you change yourself. You change your memories. You change your identity.ConclusionSo …How much imagination has brought you to where you currently are?Do you have a fixed or growth mindset?Do you have a big future full of dreams you are pursuing?Do you see where you want to go?Are you ACTING from the victory of your highest ideals?If you ACT AS IF what you want will be yours - no matter how big - that action w ill be bold and powerful.You’ll quickly succeed.I’ve watched it in my life. I’ve seen it in my mentors.You can act now FROM your wildest dreams being completed.But will you?Will you TRIGGER your deepest imagination on a daily basis so that your brain literally rewires to become that new and imagined self?Will you act powerfully toward your dreams every day, and thus shatter your subconscious blocks?Will you live from your future? Or, will you repeat your past like most people?Ready to upgrade?I’ve created a cheat sheet for putting yourself into a PEAK-STATE, immediately. You follow this daily, your life will change very quickly.Get the cheat sheet here!This article first appeared on Medium.
