The Future of Work with Taylor Pearson

by

ABOUT TAYLOR PEARSON

Work as we know it is changing, whether we like it or not. Are you prepared?

Taylor Pearson is a “systems-obsessed entrepreneur, marketer, and philosopher” with a passion for helping other entrepreneurs. He’s worked on the Tropical MBA podcast, done community management for the Dynamite Circle, a top mastermind forum for location-independent entrepreneurs, and managed marketing and sales for 7-figure ecommerce businesses. He talks to us about the shifting landscape of the job market and gives valuable insights into how we can best prepare ourselves for success now and into the future. His book The End of Jobs: How A Section of the Middle Class Getting Rich will be out on June 30th!

If you have a bias for action, opportunities tend to present themselves.

Taylor Pearson

There is a shift happening around us.

Traditionally, the careers that have held the most promise for success have been those that ask us to create and build within defined guidelines or according to plans put in place by those who came before.

Increasingly now, the market has begun to reward those who are able to operate outside of and push beyond boundaries, who will think beyond the “good practices” world we’ve been brought up in, and propel their companies and businesses into the world that is emerging.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
  • Why more “emotionally-charged” work is often rewarded with greater compensation.
  • What “emerging practices” are and how they are changing the employment landscape.
  • Two paths for moving to “complex” work.
  • Why the fact that our ambitions differ those of our parents is not bad.  It’s human nature!

Your Career vs. Your Finances (revisited!)

by

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Think your finances don’t have much of an impact on your career? Well, we challenge you to rethink that. When you’re in debt your decisions often come down to what you NEED to do, rather than what you’d like to do. Becoming debt-free gives you back your freedom in ways that you may not even be able to anticipate.  To help get you inspired to take action today, we’ve even got Scott and Alyssa’s Dave Ramsey Show official “debt-free scream” for you!

So, there was a time back before HTYC was born, when Scott and his wife Alyssa had found themselves up to their eyeballs in debt – everything from car payments to mortgage debt and student loans to the tune of over $133,000.

Mark Sieverkropp interviews Scott about his and Alyssa’s journey to getting out of debt and the surprising payoffs that were there to greet them when they were finally done.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • The impacts (the ones you know about AND the ones you don’t) that carrying debt can have on your life, your relationships, and your career.
  • Why Scott’s debt could have prevented HTYC from “happening”!
  • How taking control of your finances NOW is critical to your future career success and happiness.
  • What the “Debt Snowball” is and how you can implement it to tackle your debt today!

Your Job Search in the Social Media Age with Al Smith

by

ABOUT AL SMITH

If you’re looking to give your job hunt a shot in the arm and vastly improve your chances of being found by the right people, you’re in the right place.

Al Smith spent 35 years working in management, sales, marketing, and training for such companies as Xerox, Kimberly-Clark, and Systema. Now he’s the Director of the Unity North Atlanta Career Ministry in Marietta, GA.  The ministry focuses on helping all people, regardless of their faith to “reclaim their position in the workplace.” His new book with co-author Jeff Sheehan is called HIRED! Paths to Employment in the Social Media Era and is available now!

Al spent two “miserable years” in career transition.  He found that the strategies he’d always relied on no longer worked.  Improving his resumé alone wasn’t enough.  Scouring the job boards wasn’t helping.  Even networking wasn’t giving him the results he needed.

He started to dig deeper into the recruiting process, trying to understand exactly how hiring managers and HR personnel were using resources like Linkedin to find candidates.  He then learned how to leverage his findings into crafting and building his online presence to ensure that he would be found in searches.

Al recommends using the Advanced Search function on Linkedin to search titles and job descriptions and to find valuable and relevant keywords to use in your own profile:

Find the Advanced search function next to the main search window at the top of the page.

Once inside the Advanced search, you can widen or narrow your searches by adding or removing parameters and keywords.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
  • What a Boolean search is and why it matters in your job search.
  • 5 actionable steps you can take TODAY to boost your visibility on Linkedin.
  • What you can do offline to greatly improve your chances of getting noticed by your potential employer of choice.

Finding the Time

by

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Feeling overwhelmed? Do you feel like there’s just never enough time to get to everything you want or need to do? Is a lack of time holding you back?

Well, we’re breaking down some of the most common myths around lack of time! We’ve also got some practical solutions that will help you reclaim some of your precious hours!

We know there are only 24 hours in the day.  So how is it that some people seem to be able to do SO MUCH more?

The key is really to view time as a resource, just like money.  In fact, the saying “time is money” is very much a reality.  Take an honest look, a complete inventory of how you are currently spending your time and start to evaluate.  Decide what is truly valuable to you and what isn’t.   Then, armed with this information, you can make decisions about how you want to spend your time based on what really matters to you.

When you’re doing the things that you actually WANT to be doing, the things that add value to your life and make you happy, a crazy thing happens.  YOU start to bring more value into the lives of others!

Scott’s Schedule
Our Challenge to You:

Pick one of the strategies mentioned in the show and let us know how it works for you!  What are you going to do differently with your time now?  Let us know here in the comments or drop Scott an email at Scott@happentoyourcareer.com!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • Why it’s not a genuine lack of time, but your perception of a lack of time that causes overwhelm.
  • Three strategies for reclaiming your time
    • Cutting out things that are non-value added
    • Scheduling
    • Outsourcing
  • How to identify what really matters to you (and where you WANT to spend your time).

Fear Means “Go!” with Greg Faxon

by

ABOUT GREG FAXON

Before becoming a personal coach, Greg Faxon worked with Fortune 500 companies on refining their market research and strategy. Now he helps “high-performing” and “high-potential” entrepreneurs to live deliberately and grow businesses that make an impact.
Greg gives us some powerful insights on fear, specifically on how it can be an indication that you are on the right path. He believes our fear can be used to push ourselves past where we currently are and toward living a life “on purpose.”

The key is to accept that fear is part of the deal, that just like the weightlifter who understands that discomfort comes with the territory when building muscle, embracing our fear will make us uncomfortable, but will also make us stronger.

When you continue to do the things that were scary, you start to build this great emotional hit from it and it becomes a habit very easily because you’re like “Wow, I feel phenomenal – like that scared the crap out of me, and I still found a way to do it?” That feels great. 

Greg Faxon
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • Why fear isn’t always a bad thing.  In fact, it might even be evidence that you are on the right path!  You’ll learn why fear is something to “blend with”, rather than to run from or to try and crush.
  • How building the “bravery habit”, doing things that scare you often, can catapult you to success (and can even become addictive!).
  • Why most people have trouble “letting go” and trusting in their decisions.
  • The distinction between “choice” and “practice” in living your life.
  • That you most likely already know what you want to do with your life and how the process of “uncovering” vs. “discovering” will lead you to it.

Authenticity: Your Path to Success with Greg Giangrande

by

ABOUT GREG GIANGRANDE

Greg Giangrande has been called “one of the most highly-regarded executives in his field” by Adweek. As Executive VP and Chief Human Resources Officer for Time Inc. he oversees HR globally for 8,000 employees. He’s held executive level HR positions at News Corporation, The Hearst Corporation and HR leadership positions at Conde Nast and Random House.  Greg also writes a weekly advice column called “Go to Greg” for the NY Post and makes appearances on Good Day NY.

He’s also called all of the shots in his career, accepting only the opportunities that were aligned with what he calls his “True North.”

I never wanted to look back and regret not having spent enough time, or shortchanging my kids in that role. I could deal with regretting not having spent enough time in my professional career. But I don’t think I could deal with looking back and not having spent enough time raising my children.

Greg Giangrande

Greg’s anchor, his “True North” has always been his dedication to his family and keeping his career in balance with that has guided his decisions.

Greg believes that most people tend to overcomplicate their career decisions.  What it comes down to is holding tight to what matters to you, then focusing on providing as much value as you can, learning where you can excel and then doubling down on that!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • The importance of defining your “compass points” and your “True North” – finding direction in your career is simpler than you think!
  • How to make yourself indispensable and attract more opportunity at work.  *Hint:  it’s all about providing value
  • How to differentiate yourself from your peers.
  • The difference between “activity” and “productivity” and how knowing that difference can help you skyrocket your career to the next level.
  • What your “Reputation Index” is and how to manage it!

Get Intentional, Get Results with Olivia Gamber

by

ABOUT OLIVIA GAMBER

Olivia Gamber has climbed up the corporate ladder quickly and at a super-young age, is now the Manager of Talent and Organizational Development at Taylor Morrison. She tackled her post-graduation career uncertainty in a way that set her apart from the rest of the pack. Through self-discovery and intentional action she was able to launch an impressive career and now she’s helping her Gen Y peers to do the same through OccupationalOlivia.com.

Beforegraduating with a Master’s Degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology Olivia started researching possible careers for herself and began reaching out to people she felt could help her in her search.  Sending out as many as 10 messages PER WEEK to people she’d had introductions with, but also to people she didn’t know personally at all, she requested a few moments of time to learn about their different career paths.  Olivia not only got the information she was after but also greatly expanded her network AND found her first position through one of these contacts.

The insights she gained through these conversations allowed Olivia to “get inside the minds of hiring managers” and to effectively market herself as an ideal candidate.

By focusing on what she wanted on the “front end”, Olivia was able to avoid spending time and energy on the non-targeted activities that she says hold back most of her peers.  But it didn’t stop there.  She took what she learned and stepped out into the job market.  The job market is where you will get the critical feedback you need to continue growing in and shaping your career path.

Olivia says,

You can only go so far just sitting in your room thinking about your wants and your dreams – ultimately it has to intersect with the market.

Grab Olivia’s FREE 3-day Career Breakthrough course here!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How you can stand out from the crowd by being proactive and following up after initiating contact with someone.
  • The importance of building and nurturing relationships.
  • How to start gaining clarity on what you want in your career and then how to get there through taking persistent and intentional action.
  • Why being bored in your job is something that’s very much in YOUR control (and NOT your boss’s fault after all!) how you can combat it!

It’s Now or Never with Doc Kennedy

by

ABOUT DOC KENNEDY

Fear of failure cripples. It keeps you from taking action on the things you know can lead you to realizing your dreams and living up to your potential. Doc Kennedy let the fear paralyze him for a long time. But, after a volunteer position gave him the skills and the confidence he needed and his dream of becoming a filmmaker started to look like a reality, he decided to go all in!  He transitioned into filmmaking full-time.

Starting out as a freelancer with little work lined up, Doc soon started to experience the more stressful side of being self-employed, living off of his “side fund” while building his business. He knew though, that if he hadn’t made the leap when he did, he wouldn’t have done it at all.

The timing wasn’t going to get any better than it was.

Doc Kennedy

Doc is now hitting his stride, after many lessons learned in his first year as an entrepreneur.  He freely acknowledges the huge role his mentors played in his new career and has set up Filmmaker’s Focus now as a way to help the next wave of aspiring filmmakers!

There’s a lot to be said for just getting started.  This is what differentiates the successful from those who just look on from the sidelines.  The time will NEVER be just right.  Get into motion and you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish!

I’m nowhere close to where I envisioned myself, but thank God I’m not where I was.

Doc Kennedy
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How to push past the fear of failure and move towards your dream career.
  • Doc’s advice for those getting ready to make a career transition.  He shares what he did that worked AND what he wishes he’d done in preparing for his career change.
  • The power of taking action
  • The importance of building a financial “runway” to ease your transition to a new career.
  • The role of mentors in your career development and the value in giving back and helping others in their career paths.

Plant Your Flag, Live Your Purpose with Matt Shoup

by

ABOUT MATT SHOUP

Positive. Passionate. Powerful. Purpose. Identify your “flag” then go Plant it! Everyone has their own unique gift, talent, and benefit that they bring to the world. Wrap your mind, your heart, your soul, everything about you around that, then build on it!

Highly successful serial entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and Jiu Jitsu purple belt Matt Shoup is back for the THIRD time on the show. His latest book, Plant Your Flag: The Warrior’s Battle Guide to Life, Love, and Leadership is due out in early July.

There are four ways to live your life:

1.  You can be a “No show”, moving through life unaware of your potential and the impact you may have had on the world.

2.  You can be a Spectator, watching everything from the sidelines, but never putting any “skin in the game.”

3.  You can be a Fighter.  Now you’re all in.  Taking stands and fighting. If you are in the fighting space and you find yourself wrung out, burned out…you are in the wrong fight.  You are not in the Warrior space yet.

4.  You can be a Warrior.  This is where you show up, you stand up for what you believe in, and you shield up.  You’ve chosen the fight that is tied to your deepest core values, principles you would die for.  You are living your purpose.

The Warrior stage is not a “happy ending”.  The real fight has just begun.  Now you are in the fight that really matters.  The bigger the stand, the bigger the fight.

The Warrior space is a scary, loud, yet peaceful space.

Matt Shoup

In working to identify your “flag”, make the decision to be present.  Show up.  You have to get out of the seats and off the bench, you need to show up, then decide to engage.  Start punching, start swinging. Go stand for something and see what it’s like.  Always be pushing to get to that next space.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • The importance of identifying your core values, unique skills, and talents in finding your “flag” (your greatest purpose in life).
  • The four ways to live life and how to move toward greatness in the Warrior space.
  • How your “recipe” is the key to your results.
  • Why your purpose is NOT your vocation.  You should be living your purpose in EVERY area of your life.
