"My knowledge you know with others But again i don't know i. I don't feel like i've experienced that. Why haven't you off so so in the classroom. You're not teaching a subject that you're passionate about i am i never languages world languages. Okay so you're you're foreign language teacher and yet you've never had the opportunity to share your knowledge wiser. I mean i have. I just i guess i have what they call them authorship syndrome where i feel like i'm not Yeah i'm not good enough. I don't know how could do much other goes. Okay we we. Did you say impossible. Yeah okay listen. That's just good old-fashioned doubt. I doubt that. I have the ability to do this and teach these kids. Is that true or false. Are you able to teach these kids. Four languages yes or no Somewhat no that's not an option. What does some why game because it depends on the kid. I guess okay timeout okay. Great now we're getting somewhere. Someone ask you the question again. And i want you to be. We're gonna be real nerdy on the usages of our words right now. Do you have the ability to teach a foreign language to a person who wants to learn it. Yes see. I changed the question Part of being a teacher you on the high school level I was you weren't now. Where are you at middle school okay. That's even worse. Middle schools are the dumbest human beings on the planet. We all know this. I'm a parent of two. So i'm not picking on middle school. Everybody everybody freak out with what. I just said It's an absolute fact that with all the hormone changes their immaturity. It's like the perfect storm of idiocy. Middle school. students are idiots. Can we agree on this The mature yes yes. I'm having fun. I'm being outrageous to prove a point. Any parent of middle schoolers knows what. I'm talking about like aliens. We don't even know they are like one minute. You're stable the next moment. The world's falling apart. What is happening. There incapable of truly engaging. Now some are. I'm being. I'm being completely ridiculous to prove point to you. The reality is you still love teaching. You might be doing the right thing in the wrong place is what i'm getting at and i don't want you to be so fried and so discouraged because i think those are the two emotions you're facing am i right. Yeah okay look. Part of it is because of where you are. You're trying to teach middle schoolers foreign language and all they care about is how many likes they got in their last tick-tock post true or false true so wait a second. What do we do things. Really only two options. Either you begin to change your perspective and go. I'm going to try to get through to the few middle schoolers that are there to learn 'em really invest in. Then i'm not gonna put my personal worth on the line. Because i'm teaching middle schoolers and i'm gonna do this until i can. Change my location and start teaching highschoolers or college kids or community college students or online people who wanna learn a foreign language. I think really the adjustment for you is teaching to people who really are hungry alert. I think that would change the game. I also think you're getting out of traditional public school environment where you're just overwhelmed by all the crap you have to do. That has nothing to do with teaching in the classroom. The reason i'm so confident about this folks. I've had this phone call now. Probably at two hundred times this very same phone call different circumstances same basic problem. And i'm just going to implore you teachers out there that are in this very similar situation. You're fried and you're discouraged. Just go through the process. I just went through it too. Sweet lady do you still love teaching. Maybe you need to change your location on profession. We need you. Don't you dare quit. Says the ken coleman show.

I mean my fifth year of teaching And you know. I've struggled from the beginning. But i always thought you know how they say like the beginning is hard. It's going to get easier but obviously it was things that the way that things have gone. has not gotten better. Let me ask you this. And i know you've had kind of a hard journey for five years and by the way you're not alone i i talked about about a month ago on this program. I talked about. It was a news article that talked about the amount of teachers that are resigning in walking. Away this year. And i talked about it and i went on a mini rant here on the program and talked about how the education system is. What's broken not the teachers And is putting so much unnecessary pressure on our teachers. And as a result pushing good men and women out of a vitally important profession. And you wouldn't believe him out of teachers that actually spoke up on the instagram post. The just like kim. Thank you for sharing this so first things first. You're not alone. There's other wrong with you. Okay but if for a moment you can suspend all of the crap emotionally that you're dealing with. Is there a part of teaching that you really love. Even if it's a small part is there if it is tell me what do you love about teaching I.

Okay so at that stage of not known quarter go. Do you know exactly where to go. but you just haven't just haven't put a specific name or place into the blank so all the assessment did for. You was verify what you already knew that you were supposed to do that kind of work. You're just not supposed to do it in the horrific traumatic environment. You're in but if i were to break down your role and we were to remove the horrific crime scenes and some of the images and awful things that you had to see but you were. You were doing that. Research and the logic work and the analyzing and and all of that if you were doing that work the all the process stuff minus the the horrific stuff. You wouldn't even be on the phone with me. I guess my writer my room. No i think pretty crossed nearly in a couple of areas have looked as possibly like a fraud type. Data analyst. love that editions. Love that love that you know. It's interesting because you have the talent of compassion and so that scored high for you top three and you said it nails you. One hundred eighty percent so where. Where does that come into play.

You gotta get back into that same kind of analyzing work except it's not forensics but it might be in the fraud area where you bust bad guys that are trying to rob ladies or ruin people's identity or whatever. I just think it's a shift. I don't think it's change. I think it's a shift. You can't be in that traumatic.

"Eight four four seven four seven two five seven seven is the phone number. Let's go to fort worth texas. Where rob joins us rob. You're on the. Ken coleman show. Hello ken how're you doing rob. I'm living the dream. what are you doing. I'm trying to get there all right. So Basically okay. I worked with this company or almost twelve years. And after getting out of debt through the baby steps few years back I guess for the last couple years. I had that feeling of sort of Dash weight off my shoulder feeling like i don't have to do what i don't enjoy doing anymore living but that kinda went on for a couple of years in back in early part of this year. i was recruited within my company for a position. It wasn't one that i saw it out and i mistakenly took that position And long story short after four and a half months stress and the things -iety associated with that job Push me to limit to ride. I turned in my notice to about three weeks ago so after doing that. Of course i watch you all the time. And i i did go online and get the Complete the career assessment and also have been using the resume. Templates that you provide as well and Sent out a few resumes this week. My problem Is while i now know what my talents passions are. According to that report that the fest moment my problem has always been really focused I'm one of those people who has too many hobbies. And i jump jump around thinking i wanna to do something that'll last for a day or two and i want wanna do something different and having a real difficult time really identifying what it is i want to do even though i now know you know what. Those calendar art. Yeah so you're telling me you took the assessment and you feel like there's pretty accurate i'm guessing and and yet you have no ideas of what the professional possibilities could be for you. You don't think of jobs you don't think of career paths when you look at that professional purpose statement. You tell me no ideas. Well so i'll think of particular jobs for example. But i don't see how when i look at the jobs. I think i might be interested in. I don't see how they're really connected to the talents in the pounced. That's fascinating from well. That's why we do. That's why we built the assessment. So here's what i want you to do. I want you to read for me your purpose statement that that you got from the assessment. I wanna hear it okay. I was created to use my talents of organization inspection connection to perform my passions of planning analyzing leading to accomplish my mission of efficiency by producing order. And excellence when you read that. Does that sound really darn accurate for you you go. Wow if i did that. If i spent eighty percent of my days doing that i would feel the juice. I feel really great is. Is that how you feel when you read that. I do okay then. So here's what's interesting. That's high level right. You know planes fly at what thirty five thousand feet okay. So what this assessment does is. It gives you that thirty five thousand foot view of yourself and kind of go okay. So here's what i wanna do. I wanna be doing the work. I wrote it quickly. I read my writing of Planning analyzing leading. Did i get that right. That's what it says. Yeah well so you either agree with that or you. Don't and you're telling me you agree with it. So then you go. Well in jobs can and i go. I don't know help matches up. Well we look at passion and mission to get super super clear so we know that the work you love the most. Is you love the plan man. Europe your planner man and that analyzing or fits beautifully into that. But then you also have that leading work and that's people driven so you got some process stuff planning and analyzing could go planning as always process driven analyzing could be a people function so it could be. It could be both for you. Could i really enjoy the analyzing to come up with a plan. But i also good at analyzing people i don't know but the planning and the analyzing leading so you're looking for jobs that that that include about eighty percent of the day. You're doing that kind of work. So when you look at these jobs and these job descriptions you should be looking at your purpose statement side-by-side going does it match up. There should not be a. I don't know now. let's go further. Why do i drive the mission results. Why did add that to the assessment. Well when we can know what motivates us. 'cause there's the search for motivation. Is this big search that everybody has. It's actually simple though six results and by the way you got you saw how you score on the other five as well so there are probably another one. Maybe a third one that you still scored above average on. I'm guessing. is that true. The third one against the tally at the talent. No mission the mission. So you sit you score high on efficiency. I'm wondering if there was another mission result that was above average. We show you what's above average. What's above the average line..

So you get the assessment for ten bucks essentially in the book for twenty. Ken coleman dot com all right. Let's go to the city of brotherly love philadelphia pennsylvania. Anthony joins us there. Anthony on the ken coleman show. I can't thank you so much for taking my call. Long time listener. Thank you sir. what's going on. I recently completed the get clear career assessment great and The results are phenomenal to me. It really kind of highlights. Few things that i already knew as well as opened my eyes to some additional Some additional things that i did not know about my talents. Passions great So my question really is how do i go for my current profession like to purpose statement cause some of the suggested industries that are listed in the print out as i review it. Yeah well first of all. Those are nothing more than possibilities. That's why we call them in the assessment professional possibilities because no assessment can tell you exactly the work. What we can do is is unveiled to you what we did. Which is you talent. Passion and mission. What i would do is. I would circle the ones as we suggested. That are most intriguing to you from an industry standpoint and but then we got to be looking at specific jobs and as we begin to look at job descriptions within those indices or other industry that you've always wondered about. Okay now we match up any job description any career path we match it up to your purpose statement and it's very simple when you look at a specific or a career direction. You must ask yourself. Does this allow me to use what i do. Best my talent to do work. I love my passion and to produce results that matter deeply to me mission and see that answer then determines what you do next. It's yes you go okay. We're gonna put this one over here in the very interesting options. If it's no then we say nope we're not even gonna look at that. See the dream job is essentially where you are using what you do best to do. Work you love to producers matter. I mean you can keep growing keep moving up. So that's what you do. At the assessment you gotta go dig and research certainly within the industries that we suggest but i would not limit it to those suggested because those are nothing more than suggestions at definitely understand that i mean what are the industries was writing and publishing and that has intrigued me for a number of years industry that i would like to move into a to do some research on what what could be impossible job. Titles and that's kind of where i'm at now. Yeah now let me tell you something. Don't get so hung up on job. Titles start thinking about. What's the work i want to do. And i think that's what you're saying. But i'm i'm kind of leaning in on this because the job titles are limiting because somebody put a title on a type of work. Now that you've got your purpose statement and it was really enlightening to you. You start you gotta sit alone a little bit and forget job. Titles forget industries go. Now that i'm reading this what i really wanted to write and i think you had those ideas when you read that purpose statement the first time certainly maybe the second or third time sit with it. Read it some more alone quietly to go. What would i do knowing this. And believing this what. I really wanna do. If i knew i couldn't fail. That's the answer. Listen i could have just kept the show to that. Tilling every caller. What would you do if you couldn't fail. I still do that. Because it jostles everybody out of their head and get some listening to their heart. But here's the deal. You gotta have confirmation that that really is something that you can do. And that's why we created the assessment. You gotta know that you got the talent to pull it off. You gotta know that you really love the work itself. The work that's got to be done to do it. And you gotta know that the results really make you go nuts. So if you're writing what are you writing about. Who are you writing for. These are the questions you've got to ask yourself and you're listening to your heart as you answer the questions. Yeah that's something. I still need to figure out. What am i reading about. who am i writing for. That's that's the switch. That's the key because you can't figure out how to get there until you know what you to do so so let me give you a personal example. I i when. I went through all of this career crisis when i realized that politics was not the direction for me after feeling like it was for a very long time and i'm thirty three and i'm i'm basically going. Oh crap what am i gonna do when i when i begin to lock in broadcasting. I thought it was gonna be sports broadcasting. And so i started you know messing around with that a little bit and poking into it and got into a little bit and in doing so. I realized that it wasn't going to be sports. Even though i love sports you gotta know what your messages and my message was. I want people to max out. I want people to be the greatest version of themselves. I want people to live their purpose. Yeah i think that's kind of where i'm stuck right now. I'm not sure that's okay good. So here's what i want you to do at this point. Three part question. Now you've got your purpose statement. I want you to wrestle with threes. These three questions over the next few days or week. Who do i wanna help. What problem do they have or desire. Do they have and then. What's the solution to their problem. Or desire that i want to provide. Does that make sense. When you hear those three questions. It does see how they build they build on each other. You gotta sit down and go really. What does my were. What what work would my work be doing. What's gotta be helping people in some in some former fashion right when you say work has to help people i mean i take that at face value but no it doesn't seem to always be people related. No but my point is that all work solve the problem right or delivers a solution or a desire understand. Yes so if you're writing. Are you writing for information or you writing for.

Business owner and then admin type process detail organizational work in a very healthy environment. I think you have to consider if you enjoyed it before you'll enjoy it again.

And if he doesn't like it that's his right and it's also your right to pursue your dreams so don't think yeah man. listen you're not irreplaceable. And and you know what. I know it sounded. I wasn't trying to make a point there. I'm saying that you need to rest in that you you gave him a heads up really really kind of crazy. I wouldn't do that head. What if the new job says start next week. I i'd say okay that puts my current people in a bad spot. But if that's something that you really really want an you need then then i'm gonna try. I mean you know you just want to look like a classy individual. Yes so i. There's no right or wrong answer here but if they say that go okay i get it. that's gonna put my current employer in a tough spot. I don't i don't like to do that. But if you're saying this is really really important to do. of course i'm all in. Yeah i'll do it. Let listen the two week. Notice is not in the ten commandments anywhere. But we treat it like it is but You know i'll tell you. I mean it's it's not a hard and fast policy at ramsey solutions but it is not a out of the norm for someone to turn in their resignation. And then they're gone that week My last job. I quit with no. But i wasn't. Even numbered cog in that machine yell.

"Anthony is gonna join us now here on the line in pittsburgh. Pennsylvania the home of the steelers. Oh it's almost football joe. I'm getting a little excited anthony. You're on the. Ken coleman show. Hey can yeah. It's about time around these parts. I try to pack it in Short for you but I i'm kind of finding my direction. On the rebound I'm working part time right now and I've kind of something one of the mistakes i've had in the past i've jumped jobs a little bit Trying to find that direction Now dream wise. I'm still not sure something i liked you. In his delivery driving I've done various types now and I just like like forgivable they put it this way. I am not an office guy. But i'm like a heavy trades type guy either so i think that's kind of in between for me. That's why i'm drawn to that. It's like bogle if that makes sense and like the neighboring state. As much as i like where. I'm at now like where i live. My lease is up in about six month already renewed at once. And i just want to go to the neighboring state for somewhere different and i have apply jobs there. The my question is in that six months like the time before my lease and you think it's wise to try to find something. I'd like to get the benefits and that you think. It'd be worth commuting somewhere fulltime if i got a job or just kinda getting in with a company in the in the neighbouring state where i can do part time and then switched to a full-time kind of like when i found like an apartment there Feels like to me. that's all i think. Well see this is personal preference. I appreciate your trust and asking me. But i think this is more personal preference versus what i would consider like fundamental. This is the best thing to do so having said that me personally i would lock in the job. I and and then once. I knew that i had the job. Then i would. I would make living arrangements. I would you know. I'm not the kinda guy moves to a place and gets living arrangements and then tries to find a job or vice versa. Like i'm a guy that goes. What's the opportunity to me. It's always the opportunity drives the action. And so if i'm looking to make a switch and you're kinda clawing back i'm going. What's the professional direction. And then what's the best move. What's the next step like if we if we pick a ladder like ladder for the metaphor certainly mountain either one works and if i go i know this is where i wanna go in my career in my life. So now. what's the next move. What's the next rung on the ladder. So i'm gonna go get that and i go do that wherever it is. This is how. I've always been my mom and dad. I'll tell you once. I left for college. I never came back home and so for me. it's always going to be. I'm going to go do the next thing whether that's in the next state over or five states over and i'm going to go do that because it's the right move until i accept that then i choose living arrangements. That's the way. I'm wired source so you think it's worth like even if it was full time commuting there as long as it was a solid opportunity and then like that what you have it and then he can go to cure. If the commute doesn't take all the joy out of it sometimes commutes exhausting. Not worth it for much longer than it's absolutely necessary. So i guess i would not do it any longer than absolutely necessary makes sense what i'm saying. Yeah absolutely but again. That's personal preference like i'm a guy that doesn't want to drive multiple hours every day for a long time. I'm just not going to do that. Unless i absolutely had to. But if you have to. I got a good friend. Who's doing it right now. Driving lanta every sunday night and drives back to nashville of every thursday evening. It's tough. He's got three kids. Four kids actually now while i wouldn't do that but they feel like that's what they're doing right now so i'm limited in what to tell you what to do. I would think through. What do you think is best for you. And then i would do that ad. I got thirty five thirty five seconds. You gotta make a quick. So i can respond okay. I'm still looking to join a local church. Do you think that would even come with it. 'cause i know it's around fellow believers especially pretty would choose the place. I'm supposed to be. And then i find a church around that so i would not choose a church. I i choose the opportunity then. I find church the same time. I'm finding community where i'm living always take the opportunity. Everything you need is always surrounded. I promise this is the ken. Coleman show helping you go from paycheck to purpose. This is the ken coleman show. Don't forget the.

"Know there's more than a j. o. B. i want you to make the income that you desire and the impact that you long for eight four four seven four seven two five seven seven. Let's go to ryan now in south bend indiana ryan. You're on the ken. Coleman show cannot go ryan. I'm living the dream what's going on. Hey so here's my situation. I work factory right now just to pay off debt. The reason why is factory. After i was gonna pay off the debt which would take about nine months right now. After the day. I was going to and go to an entry level job in industry that i want to be in good. What industry took finance great. So my question is knowing that because of the hiring market right now and you said it was use. It should last now another six months or so. Should i try for that entry level job now in the industry the finance industry or should i stay in the factor with a high paying job to pay off the debt. Well let's just say this if you can get in the finance industry in that entry level job which gets you on the ladder. You wanna beyond. And you're making as much as you are now or more no-brainer but if you can't get in or let's let's put it this way. If an entry level position in the finance industry pays less than this factory job right now that i would wait and stay where you're playing nine months. It's going to be here before you know it. And for that matter. Get your mercy. Fund fully-funded three to six months. So i don't think there's a lou. I don't think there's a losing proposition if you stay for nine more months and get out of debt. And maybe even get that emergency fund funded before you take an entry level position. That's a good decision but Yeah i'd prefer you look what you know. There's nothing to lose if you find something in finance that pays the same or more. Yeah jump makes sense. Yeah so then yet. Not convinced. I just feel very underqualified to to get a job that makes as much as the factory job right but wait a second. Is that a fact. Or is that something you feel I guess it might be something. I feel you might by the way. Let me just say this. Your feelings might be right but let's go get some facts. Let's go find out. What an entry level position or two or three or four or five in the finance field looks like and find out what the qualifications are. Are you qualified if you are in his truly entry level which basically like. We'll train you on the job and it meets the requirements that i pointed out. Pays you the same or more do it. If you find out well this position this position position these all injured level and something. I'm interested in it. Gets me on the right ladder. But it's going to require some certifications or some online courses or associates degree or whatever. Then you go get that and you got a good paying manufacturing job factory job where again. You're getting out of debt. You're saving money so either way. You're in great shape. So don't say well i don't know well then. Why don't you know you need to go find some facts. So find out what it's gonna take. It's that simple and if it's going to take some Additional training and again don't assume it's a college degree but it requires some additional training. Do your research on that. How much is that going to cost. And in based on the fact that for nine more months. i'm throwing everything at my debt. How long is it going to take after that nine months to get qualified. There's your plan yes you sure I guess the thing that's just stuck in my mind is. I don't know if this changes the equation that you just laid out for me but This factor drive right now. I just i really dislike it and hated every day. Kinda hit it. I get it but until you can replace that income. Buckle up buttercup yeah i mean i'm with here i listen and it's not forever. Okay suffer eversholt. it's for right now. Go find something better. That autumn motivate you to do your homework. You called me without any answers. All got her questions. You need to go do your homework go. Go find out facts over feelings.

Coleman show can jesse. I'm living the dream. What are you doing to we go. What's a So i wanted to talk to you. Pretty much asked for guidance Obviously got promoted I also have read your book. So i think i'm in proximity to them in the direction where i went ahead. Good i mean. I i do In the past. I've done a lot of procurement Positions and when i got hired this company i went into to do manufacturing. I went into the production department As there was no procurement or any supply chain stuff up positions of at the time. And i just i just get my my foot inside the door. i've been here two years. I got an offer of going into supervisory level here grab expressed. I have expressed by passion that i liked you want. They going to supply chain becomes some sort of a supply chain manager Maybe pursue A bachelor degree or something. They are aware of it. the gave tell me that it could be a possibility Now i'm in disposition like the other color right like bright position players right position say I'm going to pick up here What's the disposition comes one meetings and it said something very very Supposed to report every month to my superior and have a one on one meeting. And i'm really confused and have no direction of what these one on one meetings are going to be about a what i supposed to bring on these one on one meeting. Okay seles paul okay. Great all right. let's pause. I don't think you're in a pickle. I know it feels like you're in a pickle but you're not in a pickle. I think you're worrying about something you don't need to worry about but but let me make sure that i'm right about this backing this thing up. This is the job that you want yes or no. Yes yeah. Forget your anxiety right now. That's your brain. Turn your brain offer second. Let your heart talk. This is a supervisor role. And it's something you wanna do. You're excited about that part of it. Yes or no. Yes i am but you've n- i guess you've not been in many of these roles. Were you had to do one on one meetings on a regular basis with your leader and all of a sudden. You're feeling this massive pressure that you're going to have to bring a trapper keeper notebook full of stuff and i think you're freaking out about right. You are totally right i. I'm so not going nowhere to wait a second. I i know. I know i know but hold on a second. Have they said to you at any point. We're expecting a trapper keeper of all kinds of things and you must also figure out what we're looking for is a giant mystery. Hope you make jesse if not we're gonna fire your but has that happened heighten. So here's the deal. They haven't have. They offered the position to you or not. Yes have you accepted or not. Yes already did. Accept it in all right first month and you're for so you're already a month in one month in. Oh i don't know how i missed that. Did you tell me that Probably missed it. Okay all right so you're a month sometimes. I miss these details. Because i'm thinking while i'm listening here You're a month then if you had your first one my first one a month It's gonna be next week. Oh that's what's going on. This is the first one in your freaking out. Yes why has there been any conversation where the leader said to you. Be prepared for this this and this. There's only been compensations of What what corny going on her department Okay then system whereby a bottle happened in the department all right so stop worrying about it. He hasn't or she hasn't told you that you have to have this notebook full of stuff so then so that would imply that you don't and it's probably just a good quality communication check in so the only thing you need to be prepared for is given them a temperature check of what's going on in your team. Do you know what's going on with your team right now. Jesse yes. I let me give you some homework. That i think will help. Ease your pain. You got something right okay. Here's what i want you to be prepared to answer. You don't have to present this but if you want to it'll make you look really impressive to but more importantly jesse i think this will lower your anxiety level. You need to know for yourself.

Okay so i've just got my car left with about seven thousand dollars on oak good and and you got sisters there so if you had to crash with them right correct okay. Good well i listen. I think you need to move quickly here. And i want you to just be open minded to maybe jump back in a truck in cincinnati because a. you're qualified and it brings in some income while you're doing what it is that you need to do to step into your sweet spot because that usually take some time but let's run through this real quick before i walk you through what you do best and what you loved it in most. I'm just curious. Is there something in your head or heart that you've thought about for a long time but there's limiting beliefs meaning. Maybe you'd have some doubt. Maybe you have some fear. And if i took away all the down all the fear and guaranteed that you would be successful in it if i gave it to you tomorrow and it was just testing it out one hundred percent sure. It's the dream but you sure would like to give it a try and if you knew there was no risk. What would you do tomorrow. I'm just curious anything in your head. Yeah i'd like to have my own coffee shop interesting. How long has that been thought. Well i worked at starbucks for years. When i was younger. Man yeah i. I really enjoyed that. Yeah what would be awesome. Tell me why that would be great. I want you to share with us. Why that would be a dream gig for you or something. You certainly think would be awesome. Why what's the why the why would be the people you get to see the experiences that you gotta have their I mean people are excited to get coffee. But then i just the idea of making a place your own and have putting your own ideas into it. Yeah and and yeah. Cultivating an atmosphere that excites people How would that feel if you were doing that all day every day. Well this was kind. Easy wasn't an isaac. So now what do we do. What would you need to learn in your mind rattle off just real quick top five things three things for things. I don't care that poppy your mind you can. I need the experience in this.

"I promise. Eight four four seven four seven two five seven seven is the number. Let's go to tampa florida. Jessica joins us there jessica. You're on the. Ken coleman show. Hey kevin how's it going living the dream jessica. What are you doing much through. Hey that works. So what's up I've been doing entry level jobs my whole life and i finally found a job that actually requires experience. And i think it'd be really good at and turned out One of the higher ups of this job goes to my church And he already knows about me one of my pastures connected us although we haven't like spoken we haven't connected to each other yet so i'm just wondering what do i say to him to open the door to get. My resume. looked at whatever. Say hey i can't believe that you go to the same church and i'm really grateful that you're willing to talk with me and i don't wanna put you in any kind of awkward position at all but i just wanted to at least take a stab at this and let you know that. There's a position at your company that i'm really excited about. Here's why i'm excited about it. And i'm willing to do whatever it takes to get a shot and whatever it takes to get the job and if you're willing to at least put in a good word or and i just wanted to meet you. Wanted to get any insight you might have about the position any advice at all. And would you be willing to at least say. Hey i think we should interview her. And if you're not zero pressure it'll never be weird at church if i had three seconds. That's what i would say. Okay how that sound something. That's how awesome something applicable like. Would you take a look at my resume. Or and i don't i don't like to take a look at my resume and i'll tell you why he he's not hiring for the job correct. I don't think so. Yeah so by the way he wants you to understand why said that. This is what a lot of people do. You've learned that that that question you had for me. You didn't come up with that on your own. You've heard that somewhere. Hey would you take a look at my resume. No i don't want him to take a look at your resume. You know what i want him to do. I want him to make eye contact with me and smile and see humility just leaking off of me and hunger bouncing off a me and go. Wow this is really great jessica. Sharp young lady. She's got hunger. She's humble she wants to take a shot at it and and i can tell that you know that this is intimidating for her to come up to me and i really appreciate that. I'm going to put in a good word for her. That's what we want him to do. Yes or no. Yeah definitely because if you said would you take a look at my resume and he said yes. What what would you rather have him say. I'll take a look at your resume or would you like him to see your heart and to see your enthusiasm. And just say hey. I'm not putting any pressure on you at all but if you would consider this and just lay it out there for him but saying hey would you take a look at my resume is basically code for. Hey we make things happen for me. And i'd rather you say i'd love for you to to vouch for me or or put in a good word that i might be a good candidate and i'll i'll sit with you. I'll have coffee. I'll do whatever. I don't want eat up your time but i just wanted to tell you that i'm going after this and i this guy named ken coleman and he talks about the proximity. Use me talk about. The principle is as a bridge statement. I don't care but he'll see her desire. And if you just say hey we take a look at my resume kinda cheap. It's like and we and resume. Let's all whole that's an awful way to say that. Do it the way. I told you to say it because you already heard me say you said it sounded really good and the reason. It sounds really good. Because i'm really good at this whole elevator pitch. Yeah that's interesting. Because i'm i keep looking at the Requirements for the job and everything. I'm just like if you knew me. You know that. I would be good for this job. How do i write that down on a piece of paper. I just want somebody know me. Well i love the language you're using. That's what that's why. I wrote the book the proximity principle. That's exactly it when people know us. Then there's context for what we're talking about. And they begin to think of us and they began to recommend us and they began to place in their minds. I it's a beautiful way of saying that. So why don't you just do that. You're in church just say. Hey everything i said you minute ago. Say it in your words but do that. I mean that took thirty seconds or less. Yeah okay and then. Just say hey. I think i'm absolutely just created for this role. Don't say i'm great editor. I'm perfect just was created to do this. You're in shirt. Let's invoke god of the universe who actually create issue with this dude. That's that's a really different way of saying. Hey i think it was created for this role. And i don't want to ask for too much of your time at all but i just a good word if just going. Hey here's a solid candidate. That i know from church. That's what i would love to get. And i will do whatever you want me to do as a relates to showing you that i am a really great candidate. There's some confidence there but still humility. In the midst of that and hunger. I love humility and hunger as the bread. And i love me some audacity as if. I'm making a sandwich to get what i want. I want humility and hunger as the bread and audacity as the meat. Because i didn't say obnoxious. I just said audacity to look some of the i honestly believe that this is almost a perfect fit for me and i'd love to do anything i can just to get shot to see if that's true to see if god's in this there's audacity right there that's audacity but i've got hundred humility that's really god. Never said it before damon you want to know how to do the elevator pitch. I'm under review this for everybody. Here's how you do the elevator pitch. You must lead with humility throw some audacity and on top of that bottom part of the sandwich and in top it off with some hunger..

And tell us because i want to hear success stories all right. Let's go to at least in buffalo new york elise. You're on the ken coleman show. Hey ken thank you so much for taking my call. You bet. what's up i. Yeah so just like a little bit of background I'm twenty six right now. Currently in grad school. I just finished my fourth year and Ever since i was sixteen honestly. I wanted to be a chemistry professor And i've wanted to do to do research. And the first three years in grad school it was awesome I feel like basically. Like i feel like i was in my sweet spot. You know like i'm doing. Research was great but i also had the have had the opportunity to do things with like young adults Like mentoring type stuff on. What kind of almost like reinforced the chemistry prize going with man be a research professor in chemistry which allows me to mentor allows me to do research and it was awesome and then This past year kind of cove. It i feel like I started doing a little bit more research into you. Know post grad school. What does it look like to then become a chemistry professor and talking with my adviser talking with other professors and i love research so even just like researching the career field It's basically i. If i coming across as pretty much you it's like honestly not grind the wrong word. It's like i basically have to have a life one hundred percent dedicated to science and that means like basically no real like Emily life. I'm phil in the sense of like where i spend quality time keeping my advisers. Like yeah you know. You'll see your kids somehow like the passionate by it you know or even with other researchers how many people how many how many people have told you this. That are actually in the field being a chemistry professor. Have told you that you're gonna have very little time for anything besides being a professor. Yeah so right now. My adviser and committee committee members. That's been like five and then just five people from that. But then i also read different like Do research articles or surveys where they will serve a young professors on every decade. And usually it's just kind of like you basically are sacrificing. What will you get tenure. Why is it doing a ton of research that benefits university in that area and you got to kind do that to then get where you wanna go. Yes exactly so. What's the journey political. so how. how long is that intense. Give my brain to my university in order to get the tenure which then now gives me balance. Am i getting that right right. Yeah how long. That's the thing. How long does that. You're gonna be anywhere between ten ten fifteen a more year. Well the dancers absolutely. No the answer is no. Because that's why you called me your head's going heads going Were confused we've wanted to do this. We were sixteen and now we went and got information in the hearts going. No no no no no no no no we want to do this in the brain school. Where is that right. Yes and i think the thing that's also kind of i guess driving me nuts. I don't know if this helps it all like i'm also Comeback in india. Graham eight so like i want. I feel like i've been in control. Felt like so sure. Personality has nothing to do. No personality has nothing to do with this. I appreciate the neograft stuff but when people start to try to put personality into career decisions it makes me really really really really nervous. 'cause you can over think it personality is personality all right does nothing to do with your profession all right now. Here's the deal. You love research and you love mentoring. Young people and you'll love science. Let's draw back to that. I don't think that being a university professor. A chemistry professor on the higher education level is for you.

What to Do Before Negotiating Pay
"Everybody's searching how to negotiate a salary it's a big search engine phrase and so that's why we titled it how to negotiate but i want to make this clear. It really isn't a negotiation. We don't see companies. There's no trends. There's no data out there that supports that when you get a job offer now we start this high level or very intentional negotiation process really doesn't work that way. Can there be some back and forth absolutely. But by and large the data shows that most companies they have ranged if not a very specific number that they've attached to a position and so there might be some conversation to how badly they want you And how much flexibility they have there could be multiple pieces of conversation around it. But i'm choosing the word conversation on purpose is that's the way we want you to understand this framework. I'm about to give you a conversation. And i would view it as a conversation. Not negotiation two very different postures. Okay so i'm gonna hit the high level stuff here really quickly and again you can get the detail deep dive. it's only an eight-minute read of the article. How negotiate salary at ken. Coleman dot com number. One you've got to research what you're worth. The operate you weren't here is research not tell somebody. Well i'm worth this.

I'm living the dream. Shell what's going on. I said i'm good. It's a pleasure to be speaking with you today. my question. I'll start off you know. I'm in the lamar. I'm wondering if i should sacrifice and take a lower paying salaries in which is a significant pay cut to pursue a position in a different field. The work well. I need to know more before. I answer that one. What is the field of work and then take me further not just into the field because that the it implies that you're gonna beginning entry level here which would be the reason. Hey cut but take me to the dream. Take me to the mountain. Top in that field. So what's the field and then what would be the dream job So i wanna get into human resources. I actually don't know what my dream job would be within the human resources umbrella. I'm not sure if it would be benefits payroll maybe just a generalist position or employee relations. i'm kind of in the field now but not not so much. Kind of that core I'm in talent acquisition. So we're kind of alongside day. We partner with them a lot and become the company i work for. It's a great company. But i've been kind of just stuck on that talent acquisition side. There hasn't been many opportunities for me to jump human resources or even to learn Other than kind of that surface. So i you know took it upon myself to explore other opportunities outside of the company to really see you know what is out there for human resources. How can i get started I've been in my line of work for about eight years so with that. I've got promotions. I've thought raises. And at this point. My my compensation You know a little bit higher. What's your station about. Eighty thousand right now while. Okay so i think. I i gotta tell you michelle. I think. There's a disconnect somewhere here. I don't know how someone is sharp as you who has moved up the ladder in talent acquisition. Now making eighty thousand dollars a year. Can't catch a opportunity to move. I even want to say laterally in your own company. And i'm not doubting you. I'm just saying there's a disconnect. How is it that you are succeeding and growing in company and and not and not one opportunity to move over into the hr side of things has ever developed. How is that possible. Since being with the company i i've seen you know opportunities for between only just a couple you know would pop up here in there. Maybe once a year once every six months and either we're looking for more qualified people so that means searching externally for someone that already has those credential or or kind of competitive internally. We have a big. Hr team so everyone trying to shift on over okay but you will. Have you made the right relationship connections within your company with the hr decision makers given that you're working with them in your certainly in the same building I have to a certain extent. I haven't you know bluntly tell them that you know i want to be in a pause. I'm not saying that's the. That's the single silver bullet revelation of this phone call. But that's a big one right there. The wing you said it actually is beautiful. You said it really. Well you've just haven't bluntly told him. I want to be over here. Don't you think that's a challenge. That's a problem. I guess. I am.

Opening at the spot, which is a restaurant outside of Atlanta metropolitan area that point. Jones had been homeless for two years of struggling to find work during the corona virus. Spence. Who did the interview said she had a great energy about her I fell to when she walked in. She was very positive. The interview went well, and when Jones left the restaurant a short time later she celebrated by dancing in the parking lot. She did not know that Spence would see her or watch her celebration through the security camera. Jones said I was excited when I got outside I didn't know that the cameras were on me with the spontaneous celebration spins knew she had found a perfect fit for the team and Jones I called her phone. And said, I'm going to hire you and I've seen you do the happy dance you can continue dancing. She was just screaming through the phone. It was a beautiful moment for me. Now here's why I love this this young lady Collide Jones. Homeless unemployed. Homeless for nearly two years. She goes in does the interview she feels so good about the she knew she did great.

Especially if you're classic car guy like me and you got the convertible classic car and you got the awesome lady to watch the movie with that's fun puzzles about puzzles. Now, I personally have never been a big jigsaw puzzle guy mainly because I lose interest quickly but I've taken on many.

Again, she said everyone is experiencing digital fatigue. So we are turning into tangible things. And this is very exciting to see handwritten notes.

The reason this is significant is because it involves community and. When we're playing board games we're looking at each other we're talking to each other were listening to each other we're laughing with each other we're competing with each other. Hopefully, we're not arguing with each other, but I will tell you many Coleman, when I was growing up with my brother he and I would compete to the death even over a board game.

As a dad I have a love hate relationship with inflatable pools lots of love setting it up. Kids are excited about it, filling it up. Kids are excited.

Can You Actually Buy Happiness?
"Does money. And more of it really make us. Happy. This. Article From Harvard Business Review contained some recent data a new study. From the University of British Columbia. They assessed graduating students over a thousand and essentially measured whether they value time over money or money over time. The majority of students reported prioritizing time but not by much four percent reported. Prioritizing, money. So. What they did was they looked at the students level of happiness. Prior to graduation and then a year down the line. They found that students who prioritized money ended up less happy a year after graduation. Compared to their classmates chose to deprioritize time now that does not in any way mean that you turn down race. Because there is equal evidence mountains and mountains of evidence. that. On average people who are wealthier are happy but it's not. Making. A lot of money or In other words, it's not the level of your salary that boost your happiness. It's how you spend saving. Think about money that actually shapes the joy. They reset Recently surveyed five hundred people in the United Kingdom. It showed that the amount of money that we see in our checking and savings accounts. Impacts are happy just more than incomes specifically. So when you see a low number, every time, the bay or Not Savings that can make you feel worse. So the idea here is that. Money which we all know I think inherently we know that money is driver happiness however does it affect it? Yes. Because there is a difference between happiness and joy happiness be emotion. A temporary motion whereas joy is a mindset. So. It's really important. Understand this stuff. Because it's not always about money and it should always be about money, but there can't be plenty of money. Plenty beamy operating word. We talk about that a lot on this program. And so we need to understand that the way we use our time. In our work in our relationship. So the personal side, the professional side, how we use our time. Efficiently, and then on purpose. Really drives. That prolong sense of happiness. So this is why going to a job. Every Monday that you can't stand or maybe it's not that visceral of an emotion but maybe just. I have no connection at all. It's just a J. O.. B.? We'll think about how much time you spend at work. In a given day a week, a month a year. and. If it is not. A worthy investment of your time then yes it will affect your happiness. That's why we talk so much about doing something that you're good at. Doing, something that you love. And creating a result that matters deeply to you. This. Is Significance is medium. And this is what drives happiness. So. Make sure you really understand. The pursuit of is never going to be the issue that truly gives you that happiness is how you use your time.

Defining Purpose, Vision and Mission with Ken Coleman
"I'm your host, Daniel Tardy and my guest today is longtime friend fellow Ramsey team member, an Ramsey personality, Ken, Coleman, I, remember the first day that I met him. He wouldn't shut up about what he believed. He was called to why he was at Ramsey and what he was going to do with his life was borderline obnoxious but I admire it when he started at Ramsey solutions well, it's initial job here wasn't exactly in line with his vision, but I tell you after years of doing it the right way being diligent being teachable and pushing for what he knew was inside him the reason he was put on this planet today few years later he's on fire he's absolutely in his sweet. Spot spinning everyday. Now, helping tens of thousands of people all around the country figure out what their purpose is just like he found his as soon as you can tap into the thing that you're doing everyday being completely aligned with who you are and why you exist it's magic. In fact, I'm going to tell you it's a multiplier on your business as a leader. You figure this thing out the purpose why are you here? You can have more energy more fun. Your team's going to be happier you can have more alignment your vision is going to be clear that's going to lead to more resulted ultimately, you'll help more people that's what it's all about and it all starts with getting really. Curious. I knew before I came to Ramsey solutions I wanted to get into broadcasting, but I didn't want do sports broadcasting. I didn't WanNa do nightly news. So your traditional journalism broadcasting I knew that I, wanted to. Be In a situation on radio and television and the television dream is is building. Where I just wanted to interact with people and be a counselor and a coach I liken myself. To kind of a three headed animal on the show. The Ken Coleman Show on every phone call I am. A. Counselor a coach and a cheerleader. and. It's almost always in that order. Because you gotTA listen. In perceived dig, discern all those things and you hear the problem you hear the challenge of the need, and then you've got to come and begin to coach and teach. And Guide if you will, and then at the end, you know it's Here's your homework assignment. You've got this I believe in you get after it and that's the cheerleader thing. So I had a sense. Of very clear sense. Of what the content was, which was what had helped change my life. When I went through, you know at the age of thirty, one, thirty, two, I'm faced with a real career crisis in that this fire in the belly I had had for public service in politics went away. And I had been aiming towards that and making progress towards that since the age of sixteen. So was a really confusing time for me and so in that time of wrestling through while I know that it's not politics I'm not one, hundred six, you're what it is. And this isn't very difficult to understand. But when clarity doesn't exist confusion reigns, right? Right. You know confusions runs like a cockroach Dila Corner when you turn the light on room and so going through the process that I went through getting Pete Richardson was really informative in my life and some other people and I went through the exercises that Pete told me to do. It was really a self-awareness deep dive. It's a that process gave birth to what I'm doing now. So I was I wanted to give that clarity to somebody else to a lot of somebody else's
Ramsey Call of the Day
When Can I Move Up in House?
"Andrews in. San. Antonio Texas. What's up? How are you? Deserve man, how can I help? Awesome I had a question So I'm like you in San. Antonio on the military right now got about probably three years left about and I actually called. I spoke to Ken, Coleman a couple of weeks ago and he encouraged me that this is probably should should probably look at me and my last and most because it just doesn't line up with my goals anymore. So we're we're kind of looking at that transition and were plotting a move to the Nashville area actually ended this most met. In the rest of America. Okay. So the House that we're living now is very much a starter home. We bought it only here for about one seventy and we're just wondering at what point is appropriate mathematically to move up in house because we live in like you'd like to be in a nicer part of town. Eventually you know a little bit bigger and so we're just trying to figure out like mathematically how to make that happen without like starting over on the mortgage you know. Okay well you number one, you wouldn't do this until you move. To Nashville. Ride that house for three years it doesn't make sense to buy and sell a house inside of three years. Right we're not looking at doing this now, I'm just just a planning purpose. So you sell the house there you move to Nashville start, your new career by another house, right? Right, and then he would start a new mortgage on a fifteen year fixed rate. Here's the thing when someone says starting over on the mortgage that makes me think you believe that all the interest on mortgages paid upfront. which is not true by the way. Do you think that? No I don't think. Okay. So, what's your all your starting over as you have a different debt, a bigger debt or a smaller debt. So what are you currently San Antonio House. Currently owe one, fifty five. Okay. So if you buy one fifty, five at the same interest-rate or less in Nashville which would be very hard to do or the Nashville market, you could get out in the country you might way out in the country might pull it off. Okay. But Anyway if you did that mathematically speaking. You would exactly star where you are today. You would just move the one, fifty five at the same interest rate over here, and if it was the same number of years, you've lost zero ground the only way you lose ground as you go further in debt, which you said I, WanNa move up in house. That's cool. So let's say you buy three hundred, thousand dollar house because your career, your new career pays more than your career. And you move to Nashville by three thousand dollar house. Now, that's a little more feasible okay and so. Now, you've doubled your mortgage. So what you've started over is twice as much debt. But nothing else started over other than that. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense how many years remaining on your current mortgage. We've only lived in this house for just less than a year. So we've got fourteen years. You did a year. Okay. So when you move, you would have eleven years left. You did my scenario on eleven years regardless of the amount you took out, you would still be debt free it exactly the same time agreed. That sounds yeah which you wouldn't do that. You'll probably get a new fifteen year three, hundred, three, hundred, twenty, five, thousand or whatever number it is when you move up, that's fine as long as it's on a fifteen year fixed the payments no more than a fourth of your take home pay. But that's how it's GonNa work. So sit tight where you are, and then as you arrange yourself into the new career three years from now and you decide which city you're gonNa live in for sure you start shopping for real estate and start figuring out how much we actually can afford based on your new income to purchase on a fifteen year fixed rate where the payments no more than a fourth, your take home pay, and that'll keep you between the ditches brother. Thank you for your service. We really really appreciate cash.

Why Talking Politics Could Be Hurting Your Career
"SO MONSTER DOT com. PADS done a survey. And they pulled people and they came up with that close to forty percent of American workers, Joe Engage in political discussions at work. Now, this is funny. In the Control Room Madison does not engage in political discussions probably not even outside of work she does not. Joe Engages in political discussions at work at home. Sleep talking sleepwalking he is engaging in political discussion, but I'm trying to cut it down a little bit. I'm not judging you. I'm just saying that it's very funny to me that this is what I'm teaching on today and you and Madison are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Yes, we are. All right. Here's the breakdown nearly forty percent engage in active political discussion at work thirteen point nine percent. Of people actively engaged. That's Joe I I thought it would be higher by the way, but it's it's right at fourteen percent. Thirty four point, eight percent. Say. They listen to political discussions at work but don't participate. and. Then twenty three point one percent passively engage in the discussion. So, that's where the forty percent engagement number comes at I gotTa tell you. That if you're listening but not participating, you're engaging. So I think that number's higher but I get what they're saying when it comes to engage because here's what Saudi these thirty four point, eight percent that say well, I'm listening but I don't participate and these people are going. Well, that's not engaged yet is because here's what's happening there listening and later when when everybody that's like really engaged leaves they're talking about it to everybody else and this is my point why this is dangerous. Here's the deal I used to work in politics. Joe knows this Madison as. I worked at it fulltime from the age of twenty, two, twenty three and then got out I love politics and the game and I love following it. Okay. I'll love it as much as anybody I. Enjoy a good political discussion as much as anybody. Well here's one thing I've learned Joe and I'm passing this onto the audience never once in my life ever. Have I heard somebody with a strong political opinion in a social gathering in an engaged conversation or debate. Let's be honest. That's what it turns into. I've never seen or heard somebody change somebody's mind Thanksgiving table or at the workplace never once. So. What happens is you engage? and. Their spirited conversation. It turns into possibly a debate. or a contentious situation and no matter how strong your logic is no matter how clear you're talking points are Joe you are not going to change the person's opinion. You're not. It just never happens. It's never like Oh, really. So. Here's the point when politics come up. It's probably best. To just listen not participate. That's what thirty four point eight percent of people are doing. Probably a good idea to just listen and not get involved because here's what happens. One conversation happens and I've done this by the way and you think you're having a fun healthy spirited conversation and you make a really strong point on something and somebody who's not engaged with you walks up and hears it and they are of a very different opinion. Now, all of a sudden you offended them. Don't even talk to them.

Here's some things you want to be aware of these are big mistakes that the zoom head of hiring has noticed and they're spot on number one too much fidgeting and peaking at your phone. With an in person interview. This is Phil. Haynes who's head of global talent acquisition presume with an in person interview never sneak a look at your phone. I hope not. Can you imagine face to face have an interview and you do one of these numbers? Yeah Yeah. Sorry. I got a text from the wife. Could you imagine? and. Yet because the video interview and it's buzzing, people are looking down and they're looking at their phone or something else and they're fidgeting around and moving around and this is bad bad bet. It's a distraction for you and the person interview number to watch the up and down I move across the screen. I never thought about this until reading this article this really true when you're on a screen. and. You're doing a conversation with somebody you tend to your eyes are darting all around screen time. Is it here? I'm looking down here to get a couple of emails o a chat just came or whatever, and you're not looking at the person here's the deal just because it's a video interview, you need to have the same rules as an in person interview. We all know those people you meet them at an event and you're talking to them and they're scanning over your shoulder to see if there's somebody more interesting to look at Voi-. Number three. Don't be visibly worried and distracted by things. You can't control the home environment mishaps as Hell hanes refers to this has never this is key to here. Folks has never botched a really good interview. So the interviews going great and let's say a dog and this is what he says. I've Seen Dogs Butts Behind People's heads I've seen ups, guys at the door I've seen people do interviews with two year old, Noor Lap. The more natural. You are the better and this is an interesting statement hanes all these. Home. Environment mishaps in the middle of the interview have actually enhanced our ability to judge the real person. So here's the deal. If the two year old walks in and throws a dirty diaper and hitch in the side of the ear while you're doing your video interview, you gotTa Roll with it. Right? You gotta go. Well, that's my two year old Leon who just hit me in the head with a dirty diaper. We'll get to that a little bit later but the you know and have fun comment with you know.

Going From Homeless To Hired
"Williams. Last. You've. Had Fallen on hard times and was now living in her car and she would park it. Outside of a kroger back in the parking lot far back in the parking lot in our state here of Tennessee this is a national story now in people magazine. This is her quote. She said I would lean my seat all the way back. So no one would see me because you know I knew I wasn't supposed to be there. But she eventually cross paths with the Kroger hiring manager a lady by the name Jackie Vandal who gave her a heads up about an upcoming, job? Fair. After Williams was repeatedly asking her if the store was hiring. So there's the first she is on really Really thin ice in that she's sleeping in the parking lot and if they figure out that she sleeping in the parking lot, they're going to kick around parking lot. So she's Kinda got that risk factor going on and she's on hard times big time and yet she keeps showing up she keeps going hey, are you hiring are hiring? Are you hiring at the lowest point of her life her desire even though that she's really really doubt her desire to climb out is so strong she risks getting found out so. This is the quote from Jackie Vandal. She says, you get a feel of someone sincere or if they're just trying to get a job to say they got one and then quit a month later I could tell she was very sincere. It was a gut feeling. So. vandal tells Williams to submit our application online. Williams retrieves an old laptop from car and spins out filling out the application with vandals help as soon as she submitted at Vandal hire on the spot. I love that story because the hiring manager decides to help her out. Not. Just given the job by saying you've gotta fill this thing out she sits in the car with her helps are filled this application out. and. Once she goes through the final step of hitting submit. She hires her why she wanted to see her go through the whole process. There's some wonderful wonderful teacher if you're going to help somebody. That really needs it. I really believe there's something to making them do some things. To prove to you and to them that they are willing to do what it takes and this lady Shiva Williams was and she'd been dealing with a lot of abuse physical abuse mental and. Verbal abuse. And she's been at the store. This is at the end of two, thousand and nineteen. She's been at the store the entire year of twenty twenty and has made the most of this opportunity. She saved up enough money to get her own apartment and then her workers came together to help her furnish it. Oh, my goodness that feels good. What's the, takeaway. The takeaway I think is twofold number one. If you're really down doesn't matter if you're in the situation that this fabulous lady was in. But you're just really down. Your desire to get out of that is what's going to fuel the climb. Secondly, if you come across someone who's really really down and you can see they've got a genuine desire. To climb out, you owe it to them. The SNOT, an accident you owe it to them. To reach. down. Let them, take your arms, your hands, and help him come out. They gotTA put some effort into it. Yes. But you owe it to him. So what a story listen to Williams I'd love to meet her. Because I think that is an inspiring story and also the hiring manager Jackie vandal. Love to meet her.

Headhunters vs. Recruiters (What's The Difference?)
"HEAD-HUNTER VERSUS RECRUITER What is the difference? There are some differences and I WANNA point out that while I am. Very very dogged in my belief that your web of connections is the best way to get hired it absolutely is. Okay your relationships and we're really talking about the relationships that you would say are outside that inner circle of family and close friends. But really acquaintances that is we know from sociology studies where most people find opportunities for great jobs is through your extended web of connections think spiderweb that the the the center of that Web, and then the the spider builds that well about in a fan if you will fan like motion and and so as you look on the outer edge there, that's where great opportunities most of the time exists an extension. Of that close personal network and so I'm always gonNA that is the best way to go about it, but it is not the only way and I really do believe in. What I would call the extra arrows in your quiver, the Arrow of over cruder. I think it's a wonderful wonderful service now companies. A high percentage I don't know the number off the top of my head, but it's high percentage of companies. In America, use recruiters or headhunters. There is a difference in the head hunter is is is somebody is an individual that works for company or maybe they worked for themselves and they are out looking for potential candidates. That the company is looking to fill. So they're out looking on behalf of the company. So they're they're out searching. Okay. The company wants this I gotTa, go find it. And the recruiter is slightly different. In that the recruiter is involved in the hiring process itself. So they're posting job openings there the initial contact person. There prescreening candidates to help move the hiring process along for the company and the recruiter is usually working with multiple types of job markets. And while they do specialize a recruiter, a recruiting company has a vast amount of specialist in their company and they're out. Looking for specific jobs, specific industries. So a slight difference there my wife Stacy is is is now in recruiting, she loves it. She's always been a coach at heart just like me. And so we're going to be sharing some more information on my instagram patients. They stay tuned instagram linked in I am unlinked in as well. On helping you figure out. Okay. How do I engage with a recruiter? What type of recruiter my looking for? and. How do I choose? To work with the right recruiter. What am I what am I needing to assess and how does that? Engagement. With a recruit or how does that fit my strategy kin of using my web of connections and using the proximity principle? So we're going to be teaching more on that on my instagram page very very soon but I think it is very important that you understand that that recruiter is and then recruiting firms. Those are very valuable sources for you that can open up doors when you are struggling to find that right connection and it's Taking, a little bit longer then you have and so employ both strategies is really important but make sure that you feel good about the recruiter that they really understand who you are and the type of work that you want to do. So that what we teach here on the show the sweet spot, they need to know all that and you need to be very, very aggressive in helping them understand that so is they're looking for things. They are seeing more opportunities than maybe they would. If they just felt like, well, I'm just trying to slap them into a job, fit? No, it's not about just the resume lining up with the job description it really needs to be in your sweet spot. So good information here that you need to know.

Google Career Certification Versus College Degree (Who Wins?)
"Article. From INC magazine about Google's recent announced if you missed this, this is really exciting. Google has plans now. To come up with their career certificate program for a while and they recently announced that they're launching it. It's called Google career certificates. It is a collection of courses. That will help those who take courses get qualified in high pain high growth jobs. And they don't have to attend. A college or university. That is significant folks. Not, because it's a brand new idea. This isn't a new idea at all. To offer. Certification Training that don't require a student or participant to darken the door of a college classroom and it gets them qualified this not a novel idea. The reason that this is so significant is because Google is behind it. We're talking about one of the most powerful companies in the universe. Massive brand awareness massive brand credibility. So when Google says, Hey, we're launching a certification program trust me. Parents adults like you who want to make a transition. You aren't doing what you love and the only thing standing in your way is. Stage two of our seven stages which is getting qualified. It's all of a sudden. This is going to be very accessible. Now, here's the deal just a few details. It's a six month program. So all of these certifications are running six months and at a fraction of college costs. No here's how this is going to change the landscape. This is going to threaten higher education. Make mistake about higher education is going to have to pivot. They'RE GONNA have to get more innovative and start off. Education. In the form of Real, life? That allow students to say, Hey, I'm not stuck in college debt and can't get a job I. I'm not dead it's affordable and casual my way through it. And I'm now going to be able to step into something that I. Really. WanNa do. This is what Google is going to do. They're going to change the landscape. Now here's something else that's going to happen. because. It's Google. Other companies. I believe Ramsey solutions will eventually do this. But other large companies will say. What we're going to create our own job training program. We know we're, hiring for character. And a culture fit. And then we can train people. Who have the raw talent we can train them for the skill that they need. To win here, and that's what we need out of people. Companies are going to start to go If Google's doing it, we can do our own training program. That's GonNa Really. Change. Things. Folks. When kids can come right out of high school and get right into the workforce for good companies. Because companies go. We don't really need the degree requirement anymore we're going to step up our hiring game and our interview process. And we're going to hire really quality people's we're looking for character here and good culture fit. Personality fit. PASSION FIT And then we'll train them on the actual skills. And you're GONNA see companies that are hiring. More and more go you know what? We're going to drop the college degree requirement. But you do have to have this certification that's going to be good for you the worker.

The things about my adhd that some people think well, Oh, you're you're easily distracted or you've got hyper energy well, that makes me really really good at what I do. Now I have to be careful about the things that are week right and I've gotta tell people about this and I've got to create systems but So I'M GONNA share an article that is very, very personal to me because I want to encourage many of you. Four careers for people who are easily distracted. This is from Harvard Business Review? This is really great psychological research. has suggested that heightened social media usage is linked deficits in concentration. And other negative things whether you have. adhd. Are Not. We are in a world where? The digital social interactions that we have and that that is just they're right there tip of our fingers is creating a more distracted. Culture. However for those of you who are like me, you just naturally are a little bit distracted easily distracted. You've got the attention span of a fruit fly. If you track what, I'm saying I've got this great article share with these four specific careers that actually listen will allow that. What you think is a natural weakness to strength. Here they are entrepreneur. Now let's just think about the entrepreneur the entrepreneur. has to wear several different hats. That's the nature of the game. You are the chief everything officer when you start your venture. So being an entrepreneur has in its normal day tons of distractions, new things coming your way new priorities, all these things, and so what happens is the person who is naturally a person who moves from thing to thing to thing the thing you're GonNa Thrive in this environment because that's the way your brain works number two. Or media. Production. Pr Professionals must be able to absorb and synthesize vast amounts of information. Turning distractions or new things into actual content and stories. Media Production.

Constantly, something new coming at you data new social information breaking news whatever and you're forced to react many times. I can't tell you how many times I've been scheduled to do media.

The reason I share that is if that's the way you're wired stop thinking about it as a negative. Start thinking about is this is the way I'm wired. So I need to go in a place that I can use my natural wiring. It's a break.
