Donald Trump on Quitting and Failure and Success

Donald Trump on Quitting and Failure and Success Dan Schawbel interviewed The Donald Trump you can read the interview on his Forbes article here. Im thinking about one question/answer Can you name some of the biggest reasons why most entrepreneurs fail? They tend to give up too easily. I’ve seen people that are extremely brilliant and they don’t have the staying power. They don’t have that never give up quality. I’ve always said that other than bad ideas, which is a reason for failure, the ability to never ever quit or give up is something that is very, very important for success as an entrepreneur. Pretty powerful, and I agree that quitting too early, and not having staying power, is detrimental. Contrast that with with Seth Godins theme was in The Dip (I was involved in getting Seth Godin to SLC on his Dip tour). Seths theme was to know when to quit, and then move on.  Quit early, learn from failure, etc. So, Trump says to stick with it. Godin says to quit. What do you think?

Simple Ways To Improve Your University Experience

Simple Ways To Improve Your University Experience There is one thing you must never forget as a student: your years as a university student are valuable. The experience you get while studying for a degree, the friends you make along the way, and the way you enjoy life as a student, matters. You have so many opportunities to explore and great new things to try too. Improving your experience as a student is something you need to do if you want to make the most out of your school years. You don’t have to make big changes or do crazy things to take your university experience to the next level either, especially with the simple tips we are about to discuss in this article. Master Time Management 24 hours are not enough, are they? Well, it all comes down to how well you can manage your time. Time management is a valuable skill to have as a student, and it is a skill you want to develop early to have the best school years. Being meticulous with your time isn’t a fun thing to do, but it will still change your life forever. The hour you save in the morning and the couple of hours you invest into getting course assignments done all translate to more time for you to spend experiencing the world, hanging out with friends, and trying new things. The wrong approach would be to do all that â€" spending most of your time having fun â€" and falling behind in school. Even when you do have a lot of fun, school will feel much more stressful than it should. Why deal with the hassle when you can enjoy both with good time management? Move to a Better Environment The environment you are in matters as much as the friends you surround yourself with. If you’re feeling stressed all the time, perhaps it is time to make some changes and move to a better accommodation. Thanks to growth in demand, it is easy to find luxurious â€" immensely comfortable â€" accommodation that will not empty your bank account every month. For example, do a quick search for the best student accommodation in Exeter and you will find sites such as Collegiate, who offer access to high standard student living from £199 per week. The improved environment helps you excel at school. The luxurious Exeter student accommodation mentioned earlier isn’t just great because they are very comfortable, but also because you will meet like-minded people with similar goals there. Pause and Think One last tip to keep in mind if you want to have the best experience as a student is pausing often. You may have to remind yourself to pause when you’re overly excited or very stressed, but it is a good habit to get into. Pausing gives you two things. First, it allows you to understand the situation better and to think things through. It won’t be long before you start making better, more calculated decisions once you know how to take a step back and pause. Second of all, pausing lets you enjoy the finest moments more thoroughly. After all, your years as a student are among the best years of your life; years that are well worth enjoying. Trust me, I’ve been there.

Love Your Career Formula Success Story with Josie Camacho - Classy Career Girl

Love Your Career Formula Success Story with Josie Camacho Josie Camacho, a Love Your Career Formula member, is a Vice President in a Private Client Group at City National Bank. She worked hard in Love Your Career Formula and her hard work paid off. What are some of the fears you had when you started your job search? The biggest fear I had was deciding where I wanted to be, where I wanted to live, and if I should stay in the career I was in. I was interviewing and applying for jobs and I wasn’t getting any feedback, I had a lot of rejections. After a while you start to doubt yourself, thinking, maybe I need to do something else or look at this differently. Deciding to move to a different state was a challenge and a monumental decision to make. I was scared to death! I was scared to move. I was scared what everyone would think and what people would say. What were you thinking before you joined Love Your Career Formula? I was lost. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I just knew that I wasn’t happy, not only with my job but also with my life.  My career is such a huge part of my life that the quality of my career affects everything else in my life. I wasn’t happy anywhere. When I found your organization and your website, I started following you, listening to you speak, and doing the modules. When did you learn about Love Your Career Formula? I saw it on Facebook ads. I saw your picture and it captioned something about careers and finding your purpose and I decided to click on it. About a year ago, I joined and I didn’t do anything and I came back and  got involved. Tell us about when you made that decision to commit to Love Your Career Formula.  The decision came to me a year ago. My husband and I had just come back from our trip and we had decided, prior to that, that if we were unhappy with our lives at that point, we decided we were going to try and do something about it. I think I had already joined Love Your Career Formula or the Classy Career Girl Network. And I said, “I’m gonna commit to this. It’s not gonna hurt me, it’s gonna help me. I know it is.” I had faith. It wasn’t easy and it’s not that always easy to keep up. What did you think when you first joined Love Your Career Formula? The website design is just so appealing to me. I didn’t even realize that there’s a plan or process that you could follow to do this with a site. You’re very clear and honest and you put all the information out there. It’s amazing! I wish I had this straight out of college. Did you follow the module step-by-step or did you of jump around? I started following it step-by-step then stop for a little while. And then when I went back I jumped around. I don’t think I’m done, and I don’t want it to be done. What do you think your life would be like now if you did not follow the Love Your Career Formula? I want to hope that I would be on the right path, but I think it would have  taken me a lot longer. I think eventually I would have found my way, but I may not have ended up where I wanted to be. Maybe I would have gotten another job that turned out to be a dead end. I definitely dont think I would be here. Tell us all the results that you had. My favorite thing is that my mindset changed completely. I get up in the morning and say what Im grateful for.  A lot of your modules and teachings are about planning and goal setting, and I had never really sat down and tried to learn that before. You do have to really put effort into learning.  I’m still working on it. The vision boards are awesome! I have a virtual vision board on my Pinterest and I also have a real vision board I started with a book. What are you most proud of? I’m proud that I was able to take this initiative. I feel like my whole life I’ve been very conservative and practical, and play it safe.  I’m very proud that I got the nerve to do something about different in my life. Do you have final words of wisdom for someone who is starting this journey? Don’t give up! I know it’s hard. It’s gonna be hard. Life is constantly coming down on you and youll beat yourself up and want to give up. I’m telling you, don’t do it. Just go for it! You have one life to live so go for it! No matter what people say, just go for it!

2018 Career Pivot Reader Survey Results - Career Pivot

2018 Career Pivot Reader Survey Results - Career Pivot 2018 Career Pivot Reader Survey Results I want to thank everyone who participated in the recent Career Pivot reader survey. This was the 2nd reader survey since the inception of the blog in 2012. It is through your feedback that the Career Pivot team, which includes Stephanie Brodt, my fearless virtual assistant and myself, can make changes to better serve the community. We had approximately 100 respondents to the survey which is down slightly from last year, but then again I did not work as hard at getting out the word. I am very pleased with the response. Let’s get down to the results. Demographics Gender The readership is pretty evenly split between men and women. 52.58 â€" Women 47.42 â€" Men Last year, I “pimped” the survey significantly more on Social Media and that brought in significantly higher female respondents. I did not do that this year. Age The age distribution surprised me a little bit but you will see 55-64 is the sweet spot in the audience. 45-74 age range made up 95% of the readership. Location Most of the respondents were from North America (93%) and rest were scattered among Europe, South America, Australia and the Carribean. Listen to the most recent episode Career Status This is where it gets interesting: 63% are employed but likely to make some kind of change 12% are retired but many want to keep working 25% are unemployed Here are some of the comments: Consulting but would prefer full-time employment Underemployed (an often forgotten category) and looking to generate income from writing and consulting Working to expand more what I’m currently doing Employed part time but not in my field RIF’d in 2010 nobody hired me due to my age. Now a 24×7 caregiver with no income and no time to work. Recovery too little too late for me. Retired but looking for the kind of job I can love and not get stressed out over Trying to decide when I can retire and what to do Working part-time. Looking for full-time work. How did you find Career Pivot the 1st Time? I wanted to know how people were discovering CareerPivot.com. I am surprised and pleased that readers were discovering the website via Social Media. As you would suspect asignificant of the other responses were how people had met me either in person or virtually through a podcast or webinar. The other responses included: Suggested on another podcast I listen to Online research into careers after 50 I was web searching on career-related sites and found yours … do not remember which one mentioned your site … My specific search is for career re-entry strategies for folks that have been out of work for an extended time (many years) Flex Jobs Podcast on Spotify Roger Whitney (podcast) interview… He and I are in Dan Miler’s Mastermind group In 2017, I was interviewed on 40-50 podcasts in an effort to promote my latest book â€" Repurpose Your Career â€" A Practical Guide for the 2nd Half of Life. We sold over 500 copies of the book in 2017 and sales have been quite brisk in the first couple of months of 2018. How often do you visit the Career Pivot website? As you would expect CareerPivot.com is not an everyday read for most people. How do you find new content on Career Pivot? In 2016, the Career Pivot Insights email newsletter was launched. The newsletter has continued to evolve and hopefully improve to better serve Career Pivot readers. The vast majority of responders said they found content via the weekly newsletter. What blog post topics do you favor? It is pretty obvious to me that you want content around job search, career pivot or change, and topics that relate to issues we have in the 2nd half of life. What do you like best about the website? I just loved theinput. Let me give you some examples: The folks who share their stories. Very communal. The concentration of 2nd half of life careers The insight is given for those of us in the second half of life I like your responses to the comments best â€" and reading comments by others. It provides help and hope. Careers advise and examples; real-world stories from people living the career pivot Content is relevant and informative. Probably a lot of people could learn more about thinking out of the box or opening companies. Helps to do away with ageism or other perceived thinking of potential employers, as I hire some to work for me now. Weekly updates from Marc helpful. In my opinion, the site is easy to navigate. Insightful articles and podcasts for transitional career living Your copy ‘re-knowing yourself before choosing a career pivot,’ financial challenges speaks to me. I think your niche targeting those in the 2nd half of life is perfect. There is a myriad of differences from those pesky 22-year-olds. And the world is changing so fast you can’t put out content fast enough. Targets people over 50 and the issues they are dealing with â€" well-written articles â€" topical blog posts and podcasts â€" love the podcasts â€" career pivot community Are there topics that you would like to see addressed? Let me give you some of the responses: Underemployment: similarities and differences for generational cohorts. Transitioning to self-employment and the “gig” economy. Writing and freelancing opportunities Looking to change jobs or switch to a new field with limited or very out of date skills. I teach classes for an age 50 plus non-profit re-employment program for low-income women where this is a big problem. Changing completely with little to no ed or experience in other fields. More on entrepreneurship and starting your own gig and/or multiple side hustles Mental health issues and how they affect job hunting and working. Busting Myths and Overcoming Bias. I worry that my wife and will see our career plateau in 10 years. Or worse we’ll be laid off in our 50’s and find it nearly impossible to return. Even in high demand career paths! Therefore I am a passive reader watching for prevention tips within articles you post about the fix for those facing the situation now. I really appreciated the mid-career and 2nd half of career guidance. I’m mid-career and was fearing to leave my security and big salary of IBM. Between the information on your site and the Human Workplace, I found the courage to leave and explore a new work environment. Even though I’m employed, I will still keep your guidance in sight. You never know when things will change. I never expected it to as it did with IBM last year. And now I’m on to a new adventure. This is just a few of the responses I received that I so much appreciate. Changes for 2018 First I want to thank everyone who took the survey. We are in the middle of launching the Career Pivot Community website. If you have been listening to the Repurpose Your Career podcastyou would have heard me soliciting listeners to become early members of the community.
