Significant reasons for failure during a job/new career search
Frank Welzig
Looking for a new job, or changing careers completely, is one of the hardest tasks you will be faced with. Sometimes “reframing” your job-search will help you avoid these significant reasons for failure:
- You are too focused on making money instead of providing a legitimate service to others. Far more people become rich providing services of value than those who constantly chase the dollar in all the new get rich quick schemes.
- You buy into the big corporation, university lie that you must go into a certain area of work because it's “hot”. The truth is you have a unique genius and you are here to “create” something special. Turn your talents towards what you love and you just might come up with something truly “hot”.
- You don't believe you can be good at what you really want to do, so you remain separated from your dream. Welcome to the world. The person with total confidence is the rare exception. The people who fight through their daily fears and succeed in spite of them are the ones we stand in line to get a glimpse of as they go by.
- You don't understand your career is a business and must be run as such. You must have a clear understanding of exactly what you want to do and how you want to do it. You must also know exactly who your market is and what they want so you can provide it for them. You must also learn how to effectively market your services to the largest number of potential customers or clients. This holds true if you seek success within the corporate walls or with a small business of your own. You can never relax in this area but when you're pursuing your Dream you will find that it is all worthwhile.
- You think you can do it all by yourself. I've found that this one can sometimes be the most difficult to overcome. You must make the effort to surround yourself with winners who will support and encourage you. If your Dream is as large as it should be, you are going to need other people to help you bring it into the real world. Go with it. Don't fight it and you will have a much easier time succeeding in whatever you attempt.
- You don't persist. I think President Calvin Coolidge said it best:
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men
with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost
a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.”
- Calvin Coolidge
You may recognize some of the above reasons for failure in yourself, but I can promise you when you finish the Course, The Job-Changing System that Never Fails, instead of reasons for failure you're going to have concrete reasons why you will succeed:
- You'll understand why providing a legitimate service to others is your fastest and easiest way to make your fortune.
- You'll (re)discover and develop your own unique genius and you will stop listening to those who want you to go down their paths for their own selfish reasons.
- Your personal Dream will be crystal clear and you will know exactly what you have to do to bring your Dream into reality.
- You will have gained the foundation skills to run your career like a successful business.
- As you work on your career goals daily, the people you need to help you with your Dream will come into your life.
- You will persist because you will have discovered your own personal “path of least resistance” and maybe for the first time in your life you will enjoy the process as much or more than the rewards.
The workplace is broken - make no mistake about it. The old bonds to the corporate contract are strained to the breaking point. The good news is you have an ally who wants you to succeed in your efforts to break clear. NewJobCoach.com is your introduction to a support network that will help you succeed.
My reason for starting this website (which has actually taken me years to compile and write) is my frustration watching people work their lives away in jobs that suck the life out of them. I get calls everyday from people looking for new work opportunities. People, who have been downsized, fired, or are just stuck in dead-end jobs. They are all frustrated and burned out from playing the “employment game”. This website is an effort to reach out to as many of those people as possible.
