The Statisitics Are Frightening

 

The world is a vastly different place than it was in the last century. You are right in the middle of the biggest employment paradigm shift since the industrial revolution.

Truthfully, work is easy to find but getting great work is becoming increasingly difficult. Education doesn't guarantee anything but the possibility of more potential earnings over time. Largely an increased wage, as it probably should be, is based on how you can help your business reach it's potential.

Here are the gruesome facts:

  • 65% of workers will HATE their jobs
  • 5 of out 10 people will have substantial debt
  • 30% will fight depression
  • there is low unemployment and much fewer jobs

  • So how do you not become a statistic?
    The Hire Me Company is dedicated to increasing the prosperity of today's work force and to helping create a society of people content with their lives.

    Take a look at what it takes to live the life you've always wanted...regardless of your job, where you came from or what your education may be.

    Start Earning More 

    What to do to get started

    To get started we suggest breaking your life into smaller, less stressful modules. Modules like Squidoo!

    Start with:
    LONG TERM GOAL PLANNING

    Long Term Success = PASSION + SKILL SET/ATTITUDE

    Here is how you discover what to do with your life.
    Passion
    What are you passionate about?

    Don't know, then do these two things:
  • Think about what you love to do

  • Let your mind wander and jot those ideas down

  • Do you love building? Do you love music? Are you sporty? Remember this is what you are passionate about so dream.

    Skill Set
  • What skills do people think you have? What are you really good at?

  • Try lots of new things now

  • Get out of your bubble and see what you are good at

  • Surround yourself with people that are moving in the direction you want to go in

  • Are you a great builder? Can you play a guitar better than anyone else? Do your pictures look better than anyone elses you know? What are you really good at?

    ATTITUDE
    Relative to the knowledge companies today are strongly leaning to a biase of great attitude and willingness to do what it takes. Knowledge can be taught. Attitude is something you bring to the table. Attitude from an employer's perspective is separated into 6 sections:
  • Passion: aligned with the job you are looking for or working in

  • Perspective: grounded but looking to achieve big things in their lives

  • Personality: looking to grow, learn, ask questions, communicate and be present in their lives and jobs

  • Team Player: looking to move forward with everyone as opposed to over top of everyone

  • Aesthetics: this is not about looks but about walking the walk. If you preach something that you follow it yourself. Your personal integrity is high.

  • Knowledge: Last on the list because most being successful with the above criteria can be taught anything. Obviously if you aren't a Dr. of science it's tough to be a rocket Scientist!
  • Books the Hire Me Company Recommends 

    Titles we have read and use to increase people's earnings

    The 3 Sets of Expectations 

    Know them and watch for their influences on your earning potential

    Expecation #1:
    Your Thoughts
    In all honesty at the Hire Me Company what pisses us off the most is when people set ridiculously low expectations for you and then we watch you strive to meet them.

    You Can Be More!

    So what are the main outside influences upon your life that stop you from reaching your earning potential?

    Expectation #2:
    Your Parents[no matter your age now]
    Your parents influence your life in so many ways. Don't let their baggage get in the way of you succeeding.

    Expectation #3:
    Your Employers
    Your employer expects that you understand, regardless of what the media tells us, that the customer is the ultimate boss. they expect that you will do whatever it takes to serve them. Contrary to popular myth they expect that you are not served by the owners but in fact work with the owners to serve the customer.

    Tools You Need 

    Increase Your Earnings By Using These Tools and Tactics

    Most people just don't know what to do. It's not that they don't want to do the job, make the effort and even reap the reward. They just don't know where to start or what to do.

    Here are some serious tools that you must have in your personal arsenal.

    Simple Tools:
    Start using these tools to begin making a difference in your own bottom line.
  • Picture your working life as a wheel.
  • This wheel is broken into four quarters. Each quarter is labeled.
    Self, Team, Operations and Customer.
  • Self

  • This is the key to all other quadrents working properly and where almost all wheels stop moving. If the SELF understanding is low then that section goes flat and the rest of the wheel stops moving. Organizations spend millions training staff on technical process, customer service and a myriad of other highly important topics...but most fail if you don't manage yourself.

    Self care is incredibly important and making sure you understand your strengths and weaknesses. Your psychology makes the most difference. Learning how is as simple as taking a personal inventory. find out why you are defensive for instance. Or why you are quiet even when you think you have a great idea.

    You understanding you is rule #1. Learning how to do it is as simple as self reflection. Certainly we want to help but you can begin understanding how important your mental make up is to your business and life. A balanced you makes a great platform for earning more money and earning it faster.

  • Short Term Goal Setting

  • In order to reach your long term goals you need to first identify them, as described above, and then break them down into bite sized projets and mini-goals.

    Short Term Success = Goal Setting + Time Managment / 100%

    Break those big goals into little attainable goals and then manage your time impeccably. You will never succeed if you don't manage your time. We know there are thousands of courses on this subject and you can find some we trust below. Manage your time, work towards those short term goals and then do it all at...

    100%!!!

    Nobody wants airline pilots to fly at 99% or drinking water to be only 99% pure so why should you deliver less than 100% to your own life.

    100% is the next most important piece of information. Sounds simple but very rarely is this met.

    Simple tools but absolutely the key building blocks to begin increasing your earnings...starting now.

    Examples of Employees Maximizing Their Earning Potential 

    Can you be the best?

  • Bill Clinton: Working for the people is the ultimate employee. What's that? You say, 'but he was the President!' You got it. Never in the world has there been a position harder to get your ideas implemented. The red tape is incredible and yes, the President works for others. How do you think his earnings are now...?

  • Steve Ballmer: Being the right hand man of Bill Gates and the mighty Microsoft is no easy task. For over 20 years Steve has worked in nearly every department of Microsoft, earning himself more and more opportunities by producing the highest level of results. Now he is the CEO of one of the world's most influential companies.

  • Seth Godin: Well not today...unless you call the consumer your ultimate boss...which you should! Once upon a time Seth Godin became the CEO of Yahoo! after having owned a very successful start up called YoYodine, which was purchased by Yahoo! Yes, Mr. Squidoo is a great example of an employee making the most of his opportunities and was an exemplary employee.

    Hire Me! was recommended to me when we sold our family business and I stayed on to work for the new owners. I found it so refreshing and it was exactly the "tune-up" I needed at the time.

    Since then, I have read and re-read this book a number of times. I recommend it to everyone I know and firmly believe that all can benefit from the message.
