Whew! It's Memorial Day!

Greetings Friends,

Our weekly to-do list deserves special recognition. It’s not easy to make a good transition. Here is what you’re all doing (😉):

-          Three posts on Linked in each week so that you stay visible

-          Posting on other social media if it helps you be visible.

-          Reaching out to connect with new people, as well as people you connected with before to stay in touch

-          Keeping track of your time

-          Responding to interest from others or ideas/openings you get from some type of media

-          Repeating what you want to as many people as you can. (Our big secret is to tell pretty much everyone what you are seeking.)

-          Asking your mother to pray for you and keeping her posted on how her prayers are showing results

-          Staying healthy or taking care of health concerns

-          Taking care of and making repairs to everything under your roof, including where you keep your car

-          Attending to significant relationships with whom you are building the future

-          Making arrangements and attending social engagements out in the community

-          Following any inner guidance you have to find out about family members, or your family history

-          Reducing resentments

-          Walking in straight lines to the same spot every day and tagging it. Twice is better than once. This is internal programming.

-          Reviewing your finances, sending gratitude to those who send you money. (We don’t talk about this one much, but it’s helpful practice: Thankyou bank for depositing interest; Thank you Walmart for the refund; thank you universe for the quarter I found on the sidewalk…)

-          Looking for leads and connections that you’d like to ask others to connect you to

-          Reviewing what you learn through networking and revising your pitch, resume, cover letter, LI profile, all the times you use words to tell people what you are looking for

-          Offering ideas, empathy, suggestions and actions to others, especially job seekers, but mainly being beneficial to the wider community

-          Attending networking events and meetings where you talk and get to know people.  This may or may not be career/work related.

-          Asking for help, because all of the above is time-consuming and tiring

 No wonder you’re tired! 

 

Have a great weekend off, and I’ll see you back strong as ever next week!

Sue
