Marketing Your Skills - Networking

I know you have many skills. I know that in all the years that you have been employed, have volunteered, completed training courses, delivered courses and supported many individuals on their own lives journeys, you have many skills. How do you move forward with all of these amazing skills?

You start with your list of skills and your list of experiences. You identify the roles for which your passion barometer shoots up and you leave the roles for which your passion barometer hovers before 10 out of a 100.

Web Development

With this wonderful list, how do you let people know that you're available and ready to be out there moving towards your new career? You learn how to network and how to market your skills. The computer has moved everything on in ways which I could not have imagined a few years ago. Meeting new people online, social networking, and chat rooms mean different things to people who have not grown up with this technology. However, I am here to share with you how significant these tools can be in moving your career forward.

Marketing Your Skills - Networking

Networking is not a new concept. It has happened for many years where people have gone along to board meetings, evening launch events and breakfast meetings and, as well as speaking to the people whom you know, you have also spoken to and exchanged details with people whom you don't know. These exchanges may have occurred because you found the individual physically attractive, you found their ideas attractive or you saw the potential for a strategic alliance and partnership in working with this individual.

One of the things which the World Wide Web has added to this is the potential to network with strangers in your town, city, country and globally. The potential to share ideas with these same individuals and to move some of the relationships from virtual (on the computer only) to real. Networking provides opportunities for you to meet new people and to let them know what you have to offer and to hear what they have to offer.

To be an effective networker, it is crucial that you are specific and very strategic about which groups you attend online or in real-time and to do your research so that you know what the benefits of these investments will be. It is important that for each business card that you collect at a networking event, you follow this up with an email or phone call of thanks.

To be an effective networker, a developed one or two-line summary of what you do, is an important part of your sales pitch. You are effectively selling yourself and so may need to do this in 30 seconds with your best possible smile, posture and key words, all loaded into that opportunity. It sounds scary but with practise it can be loads of fun. One of the names given to this type of brief and effective introduction is a 'strap line' and these should be practised on friends, cats, dogs the mirror... anywhere you can until it feels sharp and polished. They should also be practised at networking events on real people until they feel just right.

Are you ready to let people know that you are available to move into your new career? Have you written a short and an attractive strap line? Then look at the networking events which are coming up where you are likely to meet people who can support you in your career move. Think about your pitch, your voice, the words and your facial expressions. Go in business dress for this is your business and network!

The Secret Vision Board

Do you want to have a big house, big car, a lifestyle that you dream about?

Regardless of your current circumstances, all your dream can become real. What you need is to think and feel positively towards your dream.

Web Development

Although this may sound easy, many people find it hard to visualize their dreams with vivid feelings.

The Secret Vision Board

To have positive energy vibration, you need to start by generating the feeling to make you feel as though you have already achieved your dreams. How can you go about generating such energy vibration?

This article aims to show you how you can generate and sustain positive energy by creating a vision board. Creating your vision board allows you to paint your dreams in advance.

Here are some key points you should use to create a effective vision board.

(1) Connect Your Feelings with The Pictures

Lets start off by getting a large sheet of white paper (6 feet by 6 feet. In Singapore, we call this
mahjong paper).

Next, you need some unwanted magazines. You are going to flip through these magazines and cut out the pictures which catch your attention. If you can't find the appropriate pictures, go to the internet to search for them and print them out with a color printer.

Next, go through these pictures which you have cut.

Ask yourself why do you choose them? How will you feel if you already have all these things in reality? Remember the positive feelings which you have.

(2) Keep Those Pictures Which Give You Positive Feelings

After Step 1, you may realize that you do not want some of the pictures you initially thought you want.
It is absolutely alright to feel in this way. You have just heightened your awareness level to what exactly will make you feel happy.

The key is you should only have the things you want on your vision board. There is no compromise on this. Even if you only end up having one picture, so be it.

A vision board, like your life is a self-discovering journey. Along the way, you may discover other
things you appreciate in your life. You can still cut out those pictures and stick them on your vision
board.

(3) Use Big Pictures

Use big pictures and big words to represent your dreams. You want to be able to see your vision easily.

(4) Do not Limit Your Imagination

In one of the interview report, Bob Proctor said that one common mistake people made was they often go after what they think they can achieve rather than what they really want.

Your task is to declare your true intention to the universe. Do not limit your imagination to what you
can ask for based on your perceived value of what you can achieve currently.

You do not need to know how to achieve your dreams. This is Universe's domain knowledge.
When your energy level and thoughts are in alignment, the universe will show you the way.

(5) Pin Your Vision Board At a Convenient Place

Once your vision board is ready, pin it up at a place where you can see it everyday.

Ideally, this place should be somewhere you will see first thing in the morning and last thing before you sleep.

See your vision board twice a day. Remind yourself of the feelings attached to the pictures you have cut out. Carry this feeling with you throughout the day and release it to the universe through your actions.

Now some of you may still doubt if this works. It absolutely does! How do i know? I did the same thing
and in just three weeks, I started to see my vision manifesting into reality.

So don't doubt the power of the secret vision board!
