Asimo is a robot made by Honda and currently working for IBM Japan. ASIMO works as a receptionist for IBM. He greets guests and shows them around the building. Asimo’s gets paid $150,000 a year (Yearly lease for ASIMO) Compared to the salary of a human receptionist – $35,000. To perform these duties, ASIMO has to be specially programmed to know the layout of the buildings and the appropriate way to greet visitors and answer questions.

What about You!

I recently saw a documentary about a lady that could not smile because of a birth defect. It cost her $70,000 to surgically have a smile created for her. It’s close to the real thing but it’s still not the real thing. Knowing the value of a rolex watch, how much would you pay for a fake rolex. Now try smiling. Easy? That’s priceless but an artificial one would cost you $70,000.

Try squeezing your hand, pick up your pen, throw your pen a varied speeds, pick your ear, play with your hand, do what you wish. Asimo couldn’t even do a tenth of what you are doing, yet it is paid a salary of $150,000 dollars. Asimo is a fake version of you. No where near the real thing.

You are priceless and Asimo is worthless compared to what you can do.

Yet it gets paid more than most!

Why?

People will only see you as you see yourself! My father always told me; “If you sell yourself cheap during the day, don’t expect to increase the price at night, for you will not find a buyer” You are fearfully & wonderfully made, you probably have been nurtured and cared for by loving parents who in their own rights are priceless. You don’t have to be programmed to know the layout of a building, greet visitors and answer questions. You are not made by man but uniquely created and fashioned to invent, innovate, discover, adapt and rule.

Dr, Micheal Denton clearly states – the cosmos (universe) is specially designed whole with life and mankind as its fundamental goal and purpose. Cosmos – The universe regarded as an orderly, harmonious whole. In simple words, The world has been created specifically for you!

Trees have a purpose, gold has a purpose, water has a purpose, salt has a purpose, even micro-organisms have a purpose. What more of you? You are the most intelligent being of all creation – One that wills thoughts to action, one with feelings, emotions, a soul and a mind to invent, learn, discover, communicate, build and rule.

The more physicist, biologists and scientist learn about the universe the more they realise it has been created custom made for human existence. For you are made with love in mind – Psalmist

If the world has been built with you in mind, why settle for anything less. Asimo is a product of your your neighbours invention and how much is it worth?

The question I need to ask you is this:

How do you see yourself?

The most valuable things in life are not things but people. You and I.

Celebrate and value yourself daily and everyone else will treat you the same way.

Changing jobs is quite natural for many people nowadays. Specialists kept on switching companies looking for a better place to work at. But their functional responsibilities still remain the same. However, such rotation without the change of your occupation is not 100% useful. Psychological research has showed that a person will have more chances to succeed if he changes his vocation once 5 – 7 years. Thus he will acquire new knowledge and experience and he will learn how to deal with new unusual tasks.Even if you have created a dynamic plan for developing your career from a clerk to a senior manager in a particular company new responsibilities don’t substitute old ones, but are just added to the existing duties. In other words, you don’t change your activity – but the sphere of your responsibility becomes wider. In fact, a person keeps on working in the same professional area.  However paradoxical it may be, but after a few years since submitting your sales resume you are more likely to lose your sales competence than to gain or improve it.  You get tired of routine work; you fulfill your duties mechanically with no zest and enthusiasm. That is why psychologists suggest changing the content of the work not its place. Human resource managers still make the same mistake:  they are looking for the applicants with at least a year – relevant experience. They don’t consider retrained specialists or those who have no experience in the pertinent area. They don’t take into account that inexperienced candidates have considerable advantages over the experts: they have no professional stamps/ clichés, they are ready to improve themselves, and they have sincere interest for the new job and others.Today more and more people are changing their specialty. Social psychology defines this   phenomenon as professional reorientation.   Mostly it applies to young people. Older people have less flexible thinking – their professional life is influenced by prevalent stereotypes and they have too high demands for themselves. People older 35 are afraid of taking risks.  Even if his life-time dream was to become an executive of car manufacturing company, he won’t set himself to writing a resume. The idea of cardinal retraining seems senseless and even careless to older people.  Most of them can neither afford no do they want to spend their time and money for obtaining a second education.  Two categories make an exception of this statement. They are housewives, who have adult children and now are free to take up their career.  Another category is retired servicemen. Both groups come across a lot of objective and psychological difficulties. Psychologists admit that only few people with a specific temperament are capable of abrupt changing their professional life. The ability to take reasonable risk in your professional life – is the major factor of success. And on the contrary – fear of changes or failure inhibit your success.  You will always have a well -paid job if you learn to regard studies and job changing as a natural component of your working life. A well – known American businessman, the author of several books on business psychology wrote: “It is not worth sticking to your primary vocation for being rewarded a golden watch when you are retired.”  Think, may be it is time for you to stop sending your teacher resume from one school to another and consider better choices.

The key is to job hunt smarter not harder. There is no point spending all day applying to over 50 companies and get so frustrated at the end of the day because non of the employers have responded to your applications.

Don’t join the rat race. Many are called but few are chosen. Why join the many when you can be among the few chosen ones without joining the crowd.

A bird at hand is better than 10,000 in the forest. You can always use that one bird to catch the many thousands in the forest because birds of the same feather flock together.

The same applies to the job market. Why apply for the thousands of jobs on job boards when you can use a contact person to attract or be introduced to many other key contacts that could help you attain the job you are looking for.

For example, if you want to start a career in project management, start networking among your friends. There must be someone you know who knows a project manager. Build rapport and create a network ladder to get to your main contact person.

Once you have established contact, you can try using this appointment generating email:

If you are unhappy about your current situation, unfulfilled at work and seriously frustrated but scared to make a change, then you have no one else to blame than yourself.

You don’t have to settle for less. Why settle for a lesser career when you can choose from a number of life fulfilling careers.

The problem with most people is they refuse to understand their worth and value in life.

It has costs scientists, engineers and physicist years of research, millions of pounds and probably some more time just to recreate an artificial and fully functional humanoid. Humanoids are a copy of you and I, and even up to now; an exact replica of man can still not be created.

Doesn’t that tell you something – You are priceless.

If the copy cost millions of pounds and years of research, what more of the real thing?

Now that we have established the fact that you are priceless; let us now figure out how you value yourself.

How you see yourself is how other people will see you. If you think you are hopeless, you will act, dress and look it – PERCEPTION can be reality – People will consider you as hopeless.

Since you are priceless, it is obvious that no company can afford you.

What do you now do since no company can afford to purchase you.

You need a job and you need to get paid. Well, lease your time, resources, energy, passion, talents, experience and achievements at a price you are happy to settle for.

Do you see yourself thinking I am worth more than I am being paid at the moment? You don’t need to think it, you are.

The value of your wages will always be based on necessity, how unique and scarce your resources, energy, passion, talents, experience, time and achievements are.

If you are doing what the average Joe can do, you will always have to settle for an average wage. Why pay you more when Mark, Sharon and Sally can do the same job and probably better. You are placing a lesser value on yourself and refusing to discover the real you and your true potentials.

On the other hand, if you know what your true talents are, capitalise on them, celebrate them daily by improving and exercising them and allowing your natural energisers (PASSION) to engage your daily activities, then you will soon be the envy of all and highly demanded by many.

“A man’s gift will make way for him and bring him before Kings and Queen” – Wisdom of Solomon.

This is why the David and Goliath story never seizes to amaze me.

During the war between the Philistines and the Israelites, many, many years ago. There was a giant called Goliath who terrorised and insulted the Israel’s army because of his gigantic size and physical attributes. He constantly challenged Israel’s army to a 1 on 1 combat and rebuked them for responding cowardly.

Israel’s army saw Goliath and thought, he is so big, tall, heavy and strong, he will crush us to death

Meanwhile, there was a boy who tendered his father’s flock of sheep as a shepherd. He was a gifted, talented and powerful sling thrower with precision and accuracy. His name was David, a young and energetic boy. A boy of strong faith in his believes, principles and purpose.

Question: How strong is your faith in yourself, abilities, believes and principles?

When David heard of this giant that defied the army of Israel, he refused to settle for less and decided to make a change.

Something you need to do! He accepted Goliath’s challenge.

David saw Goliath and thought, he is so big and tall, I can’t miss, so heavy and strong, he will fall hard, head first and die.

Trusting in his own abilities and believes, he took only his sling and a few stones (talents), with no armour (what every one wears – the average Joe) and to everyone’s amazement, struck the giant in the head and killed Goliath with only one stone from a single shot from his sling.

His reward: Great riches, a place in the palace with the King, favour with the King’s son and the hand of the King’s daughter in marriage.

How cool is that!

Now! Get up and make a change in your career today.

2 years ago, we re-packaged our winning formula for helping people attain the career of their dreams and doubling their salaries. The results have been phenomenal with 100% success rate and thousands of people attaining the right career change and getting job of their dreams.

However, before we tell you what this winning formula is, let us establish the key reasons why people develop the need for a career change:

There are two deciding factors for this:

External Factors

A lot people develop the need for a career change due to a number of external factors and these can be related to their working relationships with fellow colleagues, an inability to grow within the company, poor location, an unpleasant environment or family related reasons.

When any of these factors become the need for a career change, there are questions you need to ask yourself before making that life changing decision to change your career.

“Am I sure the problem does not lie with me?”

1. How well do you relate with people? – Would you say your attitude welcomes or drives people from you? If the problem has got to do with your attitude, you’ll have the same problem elsewhere.

2. How competitive are you within your current role? – Employers value employees that help grow their business and will give anything to retain that person. Are you exercising your natural talents at work daily? Your natural energisers (PASSION)! Do you have any for your current job?

3. Location, environment and family related reasons are also external factors that puts us in a position to make life changing choices, but they must never be at the risk of loosing our identity. what makes us whole and fulfilled in life.

Internal Factors

These factors are probably the most valid reason when it comes to experiencing the need for a career change.

It’s battle between what your conscience is telling you, your dreams, hopes, aspiration and your current situation. The need for a better life, a more fulfilling career, the ability to exercise your natural talents and engage your passion.

A Combination of External & Internal Factors

On the other hand, it could be a combination of both external and internal factors, which can be very dangerous because it can lead to a life of frustration, despair. Inevitably leading to envy and jealousy for the progress of other people.

When this happens, you could find yourself wanting the success of others and dedicating your life to getting it.

This is a road that will always lead to a dead end.

Little progress is made when you try to be someone else. Most times, your weaknesses become more evident and people begin to see an incompetent employee rather than a competent one.

So Why Do You Need A Career Change

This is what it’s all about. Finding the answer to your ‘WHY’s in life.

As Stephen Covey once mentioned at one of his seminars, if you can find the answers to your ‘WHY’s in life, you can handle any ‘WHAT’, ‘WHERE’, ‘WHEN’, ‘HOW’ or ‘IF’.

Why do you need a career change?

If your answer to this question falls under the need to attain career fulfilment, enjoy going to work and getting paid a fortune for what you do so naturally, then our successfully tried and tested, easy to apply principles can help you make the right career change today.

Here is a quick summary of the 7 easy to understand and apply principles to changing your career and attaining the job of your dreams:

Step 1: The 12 Laws of Discovering Your Purpose

- Give a dog a bone and you’ve got it working, give a dog your month’s wage in cash and you’ll be working extra hours to make the money back.

“Where purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable”- Myles Munroe

Step 2: Creating Your Unique Selling Point

People will only see you as you see yourself. When you pay to watch a play or a movie, you are not just there to see the actors but to enjoy the characters they portray – 100% of our candidates have potentially doubled their salaries and gotten the career of their dreams because our eWorkshop has taught them how to create their Unique Selling Point (USP).

Step 3: Knowing What The Employer Wants

A doctor never tries to treat a patient without trying to first diagnose the cause of illness. Diagnose the Employer – Joyce attained two great job offers because of this.

This eWorkshop will teach you how to do this in relation to your chosen career.

Step 4: Job Hunting Smarter Not Harder

70% of jobs are never advertised and 1 in 4 jobs are duplicated online at least 5 times out of the 30% of jobs actually advertised. You need to be looking for the 70% of jobs. How you do this requires thinking outside the box.

Step 5: How To Rebrand & Remarket Yourself To Win

80% of employers overlook key details on your Resume / CV and to every job advertised nationally, there are 1000 applicants to each job. If your Resume / CV does not stand out, you might as well stay out. Our sample Resume and CV templates got Joyce a job of a life time. Triple her previous salary.

Step 6: How To Network From The Top Down

If Bill Gates was your best friend, would you need to contact HR? The internet has made networking as easy as a piece of cake. James has been using this concept since he graduated. Today, he is an Investment Banker for one of the world’s Investment banking companies.

Step 7: Selling Without Selling At Interviews

No one likes to be sold to. We like to feel like we are buying for our own reasons. When you go fishing and you want to catch a fish, do you bait the hook with your favourite food or with the favourite food of the fish. Bait the hook according to the fish type. Maria applied this principle and she is earning double her previous salary.
