Sometimes life has a way of showing you that in order to evoke change in your life, you have to change the way you think and the things you do. Sometimes people get comfortable in the everyday struggle, going to jobs they don't like, for not enough pay but they don't do anything about it because they become so used to it that mentally change isn't even an option.

Sometimes to get a different result, you have to do something different. There are so many things going on in today's world that it is important to have a plan B because eventually plan A will run into a brick wall. There are several ways to create additional income by owning your own business. It doesn't take huge investments, special skills, or lots of time. The key is to find something that you are passionate about, offers some sort of residual income, and can be easily taught and duplicated. If you can check the box on all of those then you can very easily start earning a full time income on a part time basis.

The most important thing you should have to start living how you want to live, rather than how you have to live is the right mindset. Success depends on 3 factors. 1.You HAVE to believe that you deserve to be successful. 2. You HAVE to believe that you can be successful. And then 3. You have to use your GPS to guide you to success. GPS = Goals, Plan, and System.

Hopefully this will resonate with someone who right now is feeling stuck and is looking for a way out. I know how you feel because I felt the same way. What I found is that there is a better way. I was blessed to have someone help me find it and I am blessed to be in a position to help others.

If you are curious reply and I'd love to have a quick conversation to see if you qualify to work with us.

Happy Holidays!!!!

Remember:

When you point a finger at someone, you have three fingers pointing back at you. (The thumb sort of does its own thing really)

So, if you are going to point blame at someone else, make sure to do it like this:

A true statement and so well-written. Don't compromise on what you want (or don't want). This goes to the "settle for more" idea...

Good Morning Job Case Community, I hope everybody is having a positive day.

I would like to share some interview tips with the Community Today.

As some of the folks on this site have discovered it takes time and effort to land an interview - so don't let the opportunity go to waste! Take full advantage, even if it isn't for dream job.

*Please remember that you are not the only candidate who applied for, and is interviewing for the open position. You want to take every opportunity to be one step ahead of others who are also interviewing.

Tip 1: These days employers conduct at least two if not three interviews. Usually the first interview is a "distance interview" by phone or by other means of technology such as SKYPE. I myself conduct one phone interview, one skype interview, and at least one in person interview. This helps me weed out candidates that I feel are just not the right fit for the open position.

Tip 2: Take the time to study up on the company you are interviewing with. I look for candidates that have taken time to "brush up" on the company, core values, mission statement, and information pertaining to the position they applied for.

Tip 3: Ask pertinent and insightful questions pertaining to the job you are being interviewed for. Prepare the questions a head of time. Practice them.

Tip 4: Dress for the interview - even if it's just a phone interview. Dressing for the interview gives the candidate that upper edge professional confidence. (Please do not show up for your interview in anything less then professional dress, looking your most professional; well groomed).

Tip 5: Bring a positive attitude! I can not tell you how much the candidate's attitude resonates with those conducting the interview.

Tip 6: Even if it isn't your dream job - consider the interview a GREAT opportunity to practice your interview skills.

Tip 7: Show up on time! Please prepare yourself to arrive at least 15 minutes early. If you get lost on your way or are running late, please contact the person who set up your interview (or the contact name number you have been given) and let them know. Please refrain from wasting other people's time. IF indeed you run late, please ensure you apologize and offer to reschedule if necessary.

Tip 8: Bring copies of your resume, and certificates or certifications you may have. Be ready to hand them out. (Be the first to ask if anybody needs a copy of your most recent resume or certificates).

Tip 9: Body language COUNTS!

Tip 10: If you are called back for a second interview please take the time to do further research on the company and put together another list of questions for the interviewer(s). More than likely you will be seeing the same people you did before and you will want some new material to discuss.

I hope these tips help - GOOD LUCK!

At times our INSECURITIES can hinder the obtainment of any job. Certain insecurities that become TRUE flaws can be easily remedied! Eat right, workout ( just a brisk walk around the corner two or three times won't cost u much!), and drink plenty of water for the skin/ decrease health issues. Either a little wine or no alcohol at all( depending on each individual), enough sleep, relationships that are non combative( a horrible relationship can bring you down)! No matter how depressed you are, bathe/ tend to well grooming practices! DON'T allow negative people nor conversations come your way ( shut them down in a positive way! Least but not last, pray and view a dictionary that will increase your diction/ vocabulary! Then go out and sale YOURSELF! Blessings!

  1. Drink lemon water -

Drinking lemon water as soon as you wake up spikes your energy levels physically and mentally. By improving nutrient absorption in your stomach, it gives you a steady, natural energy buzz that lasts the length of the day.

  1. Exercise -

A study conducted at the Eastern Ontario Research Institute found that people who exercised twice a week for 10 weeks felt more competent socially, academically, and athletically.Exercising first thing in the morning ensures that you’ll have the time for it, and it improves your self-control and energy levels over the course of the entire day.

  1. Disconnect -

When you wake up and dive straight into e-mails, texts, and Facebook, you are far more likely to lose focus, and your morning succumbs to the wants and needs of other people.

  1. Eat a healthy breakfast -

People who eat breakfast are less likely to be obese, they have more stable blood-sugar levels, and they tend to be less hungry over the course of the day. And these are just the statistics for people who eat any breakfast.

  1. Practice mindfulness -

Mindfulness meditation has become increasingly popular among highly successful CEO's. Its growth in the business world is largely due to the huge dividends it pays in productivity and overall well-being.

  1. Set goals for the day -

When you plan out your day as carefully as possible, your chances of successfully accomplishing your goals skyrocket. I like to set my daily goals after my mindfulness practice, because the added calm and clarity help me to set effective, specific goals.

  1. Make certain your goals are realistic -

There’s no point in setting goals if they aren’t realistic. Take the time to ensure that your schedule for the day is doable by assigning times to your to-do list. A good rule of thumb is to make your day as top heavy as possible..

  1. Finally, say no -

No is a powerful word, which will protect your precious mornings. When it’s time to say no, avoid phrases such as “I don’t think I can” or “I’m not certain.” Saying no to a new commitment honors your existing commitments, and your morning time is an important commitment.
