Don't settle for less
Our focus
We know what it is like to just exist from day to day, taking what comes along.
Isn't it time you said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?! Time to plan your own life, the one you want to live!
I believe you CAN live a life of significance... why... because it is what you were born to do!
Stop wasting your life away!
Our plan
To help you find the information you need to live the life you want.
Give you the tools to make change easier.
Help you find the motivation to keep you going.
Note: "If you don't know where you are going your gonna end up somewhere else!" The first step is to CHOOSE a path!
The easiest way to start is by asking yourself some basic questions.
Here is your first question:
WHO ARE YOU?
Here is an example of "who I am".
The Top 10 reasons NOT to hire me.
1. You don’t want to improve your processes.
2. You don’t like innovation and creativity.
3. Effectiveness scares you.
4. You want to be surrounded with “yes men”, not leaders.
5. You don’t want to make more money.
6. You like your employees unmotivated. Anyone who LIKES their work must be weird.
7. You like it when you have to keep a close eye on your employees.
8. You think that “employee loyalty” is a myth.
9. You don't know how to deal with someone who has personal integrity.
10. You think that teamwork belongs on a football field, not at work.
If any of these statements resonate with you, then don’t even think about hiring me.
Better to let your competitors have to deal with innovation and creativity than to burden yourself. Let them have to figure out what to do with the added savings and income.
Keep working long hard hours with “average” employees because you are used to that.
There’s nothing wrong with your fear of improvement. After all, change is a scary thing. Running an “average” business isn’t so bad. Why change when you can stay marginally efficient? The status quo is pretty comfortable.
However-
If you DO wish to hire me, then you need to understand something.
I am a Flight Controls Engineer working on the Space Shuttle and I am loyal to the Shuttle program, and to United Space Alliance.
I launched the first Shuttle and I intend to launch the last one!
SO-
I will be available for hire only after my present company no longer requires my services.
You can expect the same dedication and loyalty if you decide to hire me.
Thank you for your consideration.

I wrote this to show that you can make your point in a creative way.
I love my job (and work in general) and this is one way to show it. A prospective employer can read your resume and it will probably look just like the hundreds of others they have seen - with minor exceptions. How can they tell what you are like from that?!
If your not memorable, your invisible! Well guess what? I have spent my life trying to be invisible. I do my job the best way I can, but I don't brag about it. I'm too busy rowing the boat to worry about such things.
If you need to get a new job, then you need to learn how to sell yourself - a VERY tall order for me as I have never had to do that before! People have always seen what I can do, then they ask me to join them. That's how I have gotten every job in the past.
How about you?
What makes you a great employee?
How do you deal with looking for a new job when the old one goes away?
Who you are is something most people cannot answer very well-- why? Because they don't know! They think they know but they also know that what they think is wrong. How can you possibly think this? It is because the people around you think you are one thing and treat you accordingly. That means EVERYONE is treating you a little bit differently. WHY? Because you ACT differently depending on who you are around. WHY? Because you want to fit in- be accepted, or be understood... whatever your reason, it is a fact.
So maybe it is time to decide who you really are... and I don't mean who you are pretending to be right now - I mean who you were MEANT TO BE. The REAL YOU.
It is time to start asking yourself who you WANT TO BE.
WHY? Because who you TRULY want to be is closer to your real self than where you are right now. The closer you get to being who you really are, the easier it will become.
Does this all sound wierd to you? Haven't you done or said things and then later asked yourself "Why did I do that? Why am I acting this way... this isn't me?!"
The only way to find yourself is to start looking!
So start asking questions. Get a notebook or journal and write them down.
Who am I?
What do I like to do?
Where am I most comfortable?
Who do I like to be around?
What do I like to do?
When am I most happy?
What am I doing when time seems to fly?
What are my hobbies?
What would be my "ideal" day?
This is just a short list, but you get the idea.
Now comes the fun part... ANSWER the questions! You may be surprised by what you find out.
Next comes the hard part. This is difficult because of many reasons, but keep asking this question (and answering it) till you can't go any further.
-WHY-
Ask yourself WHY for every question you listed in your journal.
Don't be surprised if the answers make you angry, sad, amazed, astounded, or just plain old MAD!
this can be a painful process for some, or a joyful expeience for others- it all depends on you.
But do it anyway.
WHY?
Because you are worth it.
You deserve to live the life you were meant to have.
How can you bring light into the lives of others if you can't find it within yourself?
Please do it for yourself, and for the people who need you- there are more than you think.
And don't worry, the more you give, the more you will have to give away.
Don't let other people choose who you are, you are more than that.
Are you going to be a geek, or a hero?
Only you can decide.
Coose to do something special with your life.
DARE SOMETHING WORTHY!
