Last week I said I would do the following:
- Celebrate having gotten my dream job!!!
- Continue networking, enrolling people in my life and goals
- Listen to at least one Law of Attraction for Financial Freedom podcast episode
- Finish reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Ugh. Didn’t get my dream job by 4/11. Had an interview for a company, which gave me hope, but it was a no-go. I’m disappointed, but not as disappointed as I would have been in the past when I wasn’t able to fulfill a goal. I think that’s due to Landmark Education’s recommendation of leaving out morality from certain things; takes away guilt, which can be debilitating.
On Wed, I went to a networking event organized by the Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA), which was a lot of fun, especially because it was on a boat. Made two really great contacts, plus a dozen others which you never know can end up being lucrative or enriching. Some things people suggested which have given me new directions in my job hunt:
- Search for jobs at companies specializing in education or educational software, since that was my most recent job
- Update & advertize my portfolio more (http://donanza.me/mitsk2002)
Enrolling people in my life & goals has become second nature by now, as I love to hear and talk about people’s goals. So that’s great!
Truckin’ through The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I’m halfway done, and my goal is to finish it by Tuesday.
Found some great podcasts geared more towards writers and how to become a professional writer, so I can’t wait to listen to them and glean some really helpful gems of advice.
Next week:
- Search for jobs on craigslist
- Search for websites & blogs centered on interests (video games, film, languages, fitness, technical writing, food, travel, etc) via AllTop.com. Ask website owners if you can write for them
- Finish reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
- Write every day, whether it be on this blog or GamersRoute.com
