Helen's Monthly Biz Tip
Do you constantly receive
information about programs on how to build your
business?
At first I would read those advertisements word
for word until I realized, I'm already working
on the issues they are promoting, on a daily
basis, for my business.
The Basics. The essentials for building a
business are networking, marketing, and most importantly
creating creditability for your name.
-
Networking is essential for
meeting people, building valuable contacts, gathering
information, forming relationships and prospective clients.
-
Marketing comes in all forms by
advertising in different venues (newspapers, magazines,
etc.,) internet (Ezines, Blogs, etc.,) and workshops.
Unfortunately, what I found is that you can't just stay in
your office and hope everyone will learn about your services
and programs. You have to let the public know about "YOU."
-
Creditability ensures that the
public will consider you an expert in your niche. As an
expert, it is easier for people to develop trust in you and
your work. Once you have built their trust, people will
invest in your services or products.

"Avoid the Emotional
Pitfalls of Unemployment"
If you or someone
you know is struggling with the emotional roller coaster of
being unemployed, share this information with them.
The Circle
of Inspiration for the Unemployed, was developed because many
successful individuals who have lost their job, are now feeling
insufficient and unmotivated.
Individuals that have been unemployed for several months start
questioning their worth, their skills and their goals. The
mindset of the unemployed is volatile and frustrated.
The Circle of Inspiration for the Unemployed goes beyond the
support that friends and family are able to give. The Circle
offers objective feedback that will help you get clear about
your next steps to finding rewarding and inspiring employment.
The Circle offers each member the opportunity to network with
high quality professionals, mastermind with a certified coach to
set smart job search strategies and renew their spirit, to
return to the workforce.

more about the circle,

"Sometimes it's
harder to overcome the emotional issues of being unemployed,
rather than the practical ones. The Circle can help you avoid
these pitfalls of unemployment."

Positive Changes
"Every small positive change
we make in ourselves
repays us in confidence
in the future."
~ Alice Walker
Reading this quote you might think to yourself,
"Why do I constantly have to make small positive changes instead of
just coasting through life?"
If anyone comes up with the answer please let us all know and we
will all jump on board.
We are constantly making changes in our life as opportunities
appear.
Two years ago, did you think you would be unemployed and looking
for a new job? I know this opportunity was not a welcomed gift.
Let's turn things around and brainstorm for a few minutes what
positive outcomes have been created.
-
No longer are you in a job that was not
satisfying. Working in a particular job for years sometimes
your creative juices stop flowing and things become mundane.
-
Opportunity to learn new skills. A new
position includes different skills ensuring you are learning and
creative again.
-
Builds relationships. During the
unemployment journey you learned who is supportive, new
communication skills and met new friends and associates.
-
A foundation for growth. You are
becoming a strong person who is making decisions and trying new
techniques during this difficult period. Someday you will look
back and smile that you had made it through this time in your
life.
The most important thing to remember is that you
are creating positive changes in your life which will repay you with
self-confidence.
The Love Yourself – It Matters Community is
forming a support blog for the unemployed in their time of need. If
you know of anyone who is on this journey please tell them about the
Love
Yourself - IT MATTERS! Blog
