Executive Job Search Expert: Executive Search Inspirational Video About Never Giving Up!

I want you all to watch this 6 minute video. It is definitely worth your time.

 

 

The video shows that in order to win you need to keep trying, even when you think you can not keep going up during your executive search! An executive job search can be depressing, frustrating and leaving you with feelings of defeat. You can not give up. Keep trying.

Executive Search Action Plan:

1) Go back a re-evaluate your executive search resume.

2) Re-evaluate your "Target Company" list. You should be in the process of building it to 200 good target companies that fit your criteria. Example of criteria would be: a) industry, b) SIC code similar to previous and current employers (Google SIC if you are unfamiliar with that term), c) geography, d) etc.

3) A  executive job search is a numbers game. Keep the numbers coming. You want to shoot for 6-10 opportunities that you have "active" in your executive search pipeline. KEEP GOING THE EXTRA "YARD"! I believe in  you!! I know you will succeed. Do not give up! View the video below.

Executive Job Search Expert: Some of the Best Executive Job Search Networking Tips

I have recently been fortunate to see Bob Burg speak three times. Both times I have felt that the information he shared was outstanding!! If you ever have the opportunity to see him speak, GO!
Bob Burg and myself in Chicago..
Bob Burg has written several great books. One of his books is Endless Referrals.  Bob has graciously allowed me to share his 10 Feel-Good Questions with you. Try them at your next networking meeting during your executive job search.
You need to understand that realistically you will only have time to ask a couple of the questions during your networking session. Pick the ones that you think will work best for your particular situation.
10 Feel-Good Questions®
Question #1: “How did you get your start in the ‘widget’ business?”
Question #2: “What do you enjoy most about what you do?”
Question #3: “What separates your company from your competition?”
Question #4: “What advice would you give someone just starting in the widget (his or her) business?”
Question #5: “What one thing would you do with your business if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
Question #6: “What significant changes have you seen take place in your profession through the years?”
Question #7: “What do you see as the coming trends in the widget business?”
Question #8: “Describe the strangest (or funniest) incident you’ve ever experienced in your business?”
Question #9: “What ways have you found to be the most effective for promoting your business?”
Question #10: “What one sentence would you like people to use in describing the way you do business?”
The One “Key” Question That Will Set You Apart From Everyone Else …
“How can I know if someone I’m talking to would be a good prospect for you?”
From  - Endless Referrals: Network Your Everyday Contacts Into Sales (McGraw-Hill)
©1994-2010 Bob Burg, Burg Communications, Inc.
Bob Burg can be contacted at www.Burg.com
I would highly recommend him to speak at any of your organizational meetings.
He is great and the real McCoy!
In my new book, The NEW Rules of Job Search – How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy on page 131 you will see where I talk more about Bob Burg.
This above material is included as one of your bonus gifts that come with the book. (The book has $197+ worth of downloadable bonus materials included with the purchase of your book.)

Executive Job Search Expert: The Soul of Leadership Book With Deepak Chopra and Eleanor Anne Sweet - Executive Job Search Expert

]

Eleanor Anne Sweet - Executive Job Search Expert with Deepak Chopra, Kellogg Graduate School[]

I was fortunate to hear and meet Deepak Chopra. On February 9, , Deepak Chopra spoke about his new book, The Soul of Leadership - Unlocking Your Potential for Greatness. T

he presentation was held on the Kellogg Graduate School Campus in Chicago.  I did purchase the book following the presentation, where I was fortunate to briefly speak with Deepak.

I found Deepak to be soft spoken, very intelligent, articulate, and humble and a private person at the same time. He is one of the best true communicators I have every had the honor of listening too. There is no pretense or showmanship. Deepak is truely Deepak. Something that more of the “thought leaders" could learn from in the current fast paced world of marketing, branding and promotion.

March was my birthday month. I  committed to  reading The Soul of Leadership that month as a birthday present to myself. I will share my insights from the book with you. I started re-reading The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. I wanted to leave you a quote from the book today, page 34:  

"We lack nothing, because our essential nature is one of pure potentiality and infinite possibilities. Therefore, you must know that you are already inherently affluent, no matter how much or how little money you have, because the source of all wealth is the field of pure potentiality - it is the consciousness that knows how to fulfill every need, including joy, love, laughter, peace, harmony, and knowledge. If you see these things first - not only for yourself, but for others - all else will come to you spontaneously."

  My wish for all of you today and this week, is that you get a great executive job search lead, phone call, interview appointment and executive job offer.

Have a wonderfully abundant day in your executive job search!

God Bless,  

Eleanor

Executive Job Search Expert: Six Figure Jobs Advice from Og Mandino For Your Executive Job Search Success

]

Six Figure Jobs Secrets to Success with Your Executive Job Search[/caption]

Below you will find the 10 principals shared in "The Greatest Salesman in The Word" by Og Mandino. I am just starting to read the book.

I am committing to do the 10 principals that are suggested in the book, starting today.

You take one principal at a time and focus on it. You focus on the words 3 times a day.

You read it in the morning, noon, and read it aloud before you go to bed.

All of this should bring more positive moments to your life. I challenge everyone to try this with me. The Greatest Salesman in the World (1968)

These are the principals to focus on each 10 months, one for 30 days each, 3 times a day.

  • Scroll I - Today I begin a new life.
  • Scroll II - I will greet this day with love in my heart.
  • Scroll III - I will persist until I succeed.
  • Scroll IV - I am nature's greatest miracle.
  • Scroll V - I will live this day as if it is my last.
  • Scroll VI - Today I will be master of my emotions.
  • Scroll VII - I will laugh at the world (Keep perspective)
  • Scroll VIII - Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
  • Scroll IX - I will act now, I will act now, I will act now.
  • Scroll X - I will pray for guidance.

  Here are some extra thoughts from the book:  

  • I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy a life, but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force. My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay. I will greet this day with love in my heart.
    • Ch. 9 : The Scroll Marked II, p. 58
  • Henceforth I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness because it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards because they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles because they are my challenge. I will greet this day with love in my heart.
    • Ch. 9 : The Scroll Marked II, p. 59
  • I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd.
    • Ch. 10 : The Scroll Marked III, p. 64
  • Always I will take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I will persist until I succeed.
    • Ch. 10 : The Scroll Marked III, p. 65
  • I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind infects me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep my eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
    • Ch. 10 : The Scroll Marked III, p. 66
  • Each day will be triumphant only when your smiles bring forth smiles from others.
    • Ch. 14 : The Scroll Marked VII, p. 86
  • Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
    • Ch. 15 : The Scroll Marked VIII, p. 88
  • A field of clay touched by the genius of man becomes a castle.
    • Ch. 15 : The Scroll Marked VIII, p. 88
  • I will commit not the terrible crime of aiming too low.I will do the work that a failure will not do. I will always let my reach exceed my grasp.
    • Ch. 15 : The Scroll Marked VIII, p. 91
  • I will act now. Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which earned so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action alone is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my dreams, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.
    • Ch. 16 : The Scroll Marked IX, p. 93
  • I will become a firefly and even in the day my glow will be seen in spite of the sun. Let others be as butterflies who preen their wings and yet depend upon the charity of a flower for life. I will be as the firefly and my light will brighten the world.
    • Ch. 16 : The Scroll Marked IX, p. 94
  • Happiness, in truth, may not be the fruit plucked by my action yet without action all fruit will die on the vine. I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. I will act now.
    • Ch. 16 : The Scroll Marked IX, p. 95
  • I will act now. For now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the evil become good. I am not evil. Tomorrow is the day when the weak become strong. I am not weak. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now.
    • Ch. 16 : The Scroll Marked IX, p. 96

Have a great day, week, month, year and life. Eleanor
