Known to many as Sel, Sue-Ellen Watts disrupted the HR industry over 17 years ago when she launched her business wattsnext from home and has grown it into a national company, one of the largest of its kind in Australia. Sel is a serial entrepreneur and I'd recommend also looking up Scrappi, Your Secret Sauce and Zzoota. She's a mum of 3, a lover of NYC and Gary Vaynerchuck in a massive way and an all-round incredible woman. In this episode, we touch on how Sel has defined her ideal life and unapologetically lives it, even though it sometimes goes against societal norms, how she deals with having her husband as an employee and the experiments, wins, and losses that have made her into the formidable business woman that she is today. Please enjoy this incredibly honest and inspiring chat with my friend, Sue-Ellen Watts.

003 – DREAM JOB SEEKERS: MEET YOUR FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION “DREAM JOB SEEKERS:  MEET YOUR FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION” Each week, we’ll focus on one of the 7 SIMPLE STEPS TO DREAM JOB DISCOVERY. Our objective is to provide the tools and techniques necessary to power-up, streamline and optimize your DREAM JOB DISCOVERY process. When the time is right for you to ramp up your routine, I hope that you will take advantage of the tools, best practices, counsel and community at our home base at: www.DreamJobDynamic.com.  One of the resources I’d like to share is called our QUICK-START GUIDE to DREAM JOB DISCOVERY in 7 SIMPLE STEPS. This FREE FAST TRACK TOOL may give you all of the direction you need to set your search on a productive course. Download it here: DreamJobDynamic.com/Welcome   Today, let’s take a quick look at that process from the perspective of your friends in the group that we call your FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION.  The value in today’s conversation will be to learn from the most common mistakes of others enabling you to avoid the missteps of the masses. By reviewing just a few of the most common errors made by your fellow Seekers, you can benefit from their missteps. Our objective is to help you to BE YOUR BEST, NOT LIKE THE REST.  The purpose of today’s conversation is to point out some of the most common problems your Fellow Seekers will experience. Their problems will begin when they start a new search (which they will) without preparing for the process (which they won’t).   The best advice for powering-up your personal Career Boosting Campaign is to, just for a moment, consider the fumbles and failures of your FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION. As a group, they will fail to locate and land a Dream Job, simply due to their lack of planning.  Bottom line, THEY SUCK AT THE SEARCH! Through our ongoing conversations you will be able to avoid membership in that crowded community.  Experts tell us that, in any challenge, whatever your goal, to find someone doing it right and duplicate their process is an excellent starting point. In this particular instance, I’d like to suggest a variation on that theme.  We’re told that fully eighty percent (80%) of all job seekers, past and present, have NEVER HAD A DREAM JOB and DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIND ONE. With so many examples of poor job search planning, there really is a lot to learn by simply taking note of what doesn’t work.  You may think that since the vast majority have never found a Dream Job, that finding one is impossible or at least difficult. That would be FALSE in either case. The seemingly universal problem is not that finding a Dream Job is difficult. The problem is that most people follow traditional, poorly planned search techniques that don’t set them up for success.   The HALLELUJAH MOMENT in your own search will come when you stop following the pack down a dead end road and start fresh with a new, more direct route to ramping up your routine. We’re going to break that process down into 7 SIMPLE STEPS.  Now, I wouldn’t expect you to take my advice concerning JOB SEARCHING BLUNDERS simply because I’ve been there and made those mistakes myself. (Which I have.) Rather, I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned by studying the job search process for over 40 years while helping many interested Seekers step up their game and  to discover their personally perfect DREAM JOB. (Which BTW, happens to be my personal Pay it Forward Passion Project).  As promised, one way to perfect your discovery process is to watch how others fumble theirs. We will uncover what works, by highlighting what doesn’t.   Many of your fellow Seekers will get what may appear to be an aggressive head start by blasting out of the blocks in a rush to nowhere specific. Pushing the panic button, they will  rush off, hopefully, to find some job, without asking themselves “What’s my plan?”   A faulty plan of attack that, for obvious reasons, doesn’t generally lead to DREAM JOB DISCOVERY is: “Find a paycheck, right now!” If your only objective is to find a paycheck, the odds are actually in your favor, as long as you’ll be satisfied with ANOTHER JOB, just like THE OTHER JOB, that you LOST, LEFT or can’t wait to LEAVEbehind.  That’s precisely why were told that 80% of all working humans:  Have never had a DREAM JOB. Don’t know how to find one.  Don’t expect to get one.  Before you begin your search, the first critical point to address begins with planning (which is different than hoping) to land a DREAM JOB. It’s a point your F.F.C.s will blow right by. They will miss a critical PREP STEP that we’ll discuss in an upcoming session. We call it simple STEP # 1 – DEFINING YOUR WHY!   An observation to keep in mind, in the words of Winston Churchill, “Failing to plan, DREAMER, is planning to fail.” Following the lead of your fellow seekers, by pushing the PANIC BUTTON and launching  a search without a plan or a prayer is not a recipe for success, regardless of your objective.   Back to DEFINING YOUR WHY, DREAM JOB DISCOVERY requires taking a moment before you launch your search to do a quick PREP CHECK, a little DEJA VU all about you, if you will. While defining your why will test your memory, it is, in fact, a test where you and only you already have all the answers.  The details that we will discuss and your FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION won’t, will prepare you to articulate first for yourself and later for your DREAM JOB BOSS, exactly WHO you are. WHAT you do and WHY you do it. That’s your WHY. Launching a Job Search without knowing WHY is the reason, for most Seekers, the job search process becomes distressing and depressing. (Which it doesn’t need to be.) So, WHY ask WHY in the first place? Let me answer that question with another question:  SIMPLE QUESTION: HOW can you possibly expect to know WHERE you want to work, WHO you want to work with and WHAT you want to do when you get there, if you don’t first know WHY you’re looking in the first place?  SIMPLE ANSWER: YOU CAN’T. That’s WHY our conversation needs to begin at STEP 1-DEFINING YOUR WHY! As I mentioned,with four decades of thinkin’ like a Boss under my belt, I can tell you one thing for certain. The best results will be acheived when you take a moment to look in your own Career-View Mirror for a  simple personal history review.  Most of your fellow Seekers will fire up their search, while paying little attention to the planning part. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that they won’t benefit from this planning session, since like Elvis, they’ve already LEFT THE BUILDING.  Once they decide that a new job is their immediate short term goal, experts tell us that your fellow Seekers will polish up an old resume (poorly) and head out to hang all of their hopes on the nearest Internet Job Board.  Not to worry, because even if they get there first, your fellow Seekers will not know how to maximize their potential on those Job Boards (Which you will.)  More importantly, when you enter the game, you will be prepared to stand out on any Job Board. At the same time it’s important to know that at least  80% of all job opportunities are never advertised and never, ever posted to any Job Board. That’s just one more point that you know and they won’t, because they skipped the first four of our simple prep steps:  STEP 1- DEFINING YOUR WHY STEP 2 – INTRODUCING YOU STEP 3 – YOUR SECRET SAUCE STEP 4 – YOUR RESUME TO REMEMBER I can tell you that when we do get to PREP STEP # 5-YOUR LASER FOCUSED SEARCH, we’ll discuss the simple strategy to stand out from the crowd in any Job Board Search Engine. More importantly, also in STEP 5, we’ll break down the process to get LASER FOCUSED on the jobs outside of the JOB BOARD LOTTERY which includes at least four times as many opportunities, immediately available and hidden in plain site.  Doing the math and by considering a much larger list of openings, your future DREAM JOB BOSS is likely to be waiting in that expanded collection. You need to know that their companies will be geared up and anxious to to fill an available position with your name on it and would hire you, right this minute, if the could find you. So, let’s continue the PREP PROCESS to MAKE YOU DISCOVERABLE.   Now, let’s get back to a walk up the PREP STEPS in the order that your fellow Seekers will fumble them. We talked about how your friends will skip over critical planning STEP 1-DEFINING YOUR WHY. Now let’s take a quick look at STEPS 2 & 3.   STEP 2 is called INTRODUCING YOU.  It is a simple lesson in common courtesey and I think, common sense. Imagine what would happen if you had an opportunity to connect with a potential employer or their Gatekeepers charged with keeping the rif-raf out of the office.  What kind of a reception do you think you would receive if you walked up to either person, slammed your resume on the desk and demanded to know “How do you like me so far!” OK, that’s a little extreme, but to the point, don’t you think if you first walked up and politely introduced yourself, you may make a better first impression?  In INTRODUCING YOU, we’ll talk about the importance and the specific content necessary, KEYWORDS, SIZE, SHAPE AND ALL to create a killer LETTER OF INTRODUCTION. Knowing that most of your fellow Seekers will skip an introduction, your letter will automatically stand out in a crowded pile of applicants.  Since a letter, while proper and effective, isn’t necessarily seen as mandatory, you can think of a well crafted letter as extra credit. If you don’t include a letter, you’ll look like  most everyone else. No harm, no foul. By crafting a short, half page greeting, you have the opportunity to speak to a Screener in your own voice. It allows you to interject personality, which is missing in most of the cookie cutter resumes that they have ahead of them that day.  STEP-3 which will absolutely be overlooked by even your most well prepared competition, I call simply “YOUR SECRET SAUCE!” I’m going to leave that secret to another day, but I can promise you, it is a game changer. This detail is an attention getter.  It may even have the Gatekeepers of the world forwarding your presentation directly to the inboxes of their organization’s Decision Maker that will then be in the running for you to choose them as your next DREAM JOB BOSS. After all, our primary goal, this time around, is for you to be the DECISION MAKER in your own career story. If you’ve been wondering when the subject of your resume would come up, that would be after the first three prep steps. At that point, once you get to PREP STEP #4-YOUR RESUME TO REMEMBER we’ll talk about rethinking your career story. By revamping and fine tuning your presentation, you will be set up to capture the attention of Resume Screeners and (believe it or not), even the computerized APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEMS (A.T.S.) of the world. An A.T.S., as they are known, is a nice name for the computers in a Job Board that while sorting and selecting resumes for future consideration, will reject 95% or more of all resumes in a Nano-second.   I won’t bore you with the failings of your FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION in this resume prep step, but be certain that they will fumble this process as well. They will likely edit an old resume, while including way too much of the wrong information.  Here’s a clue, however, the key to a noteworthy resume begins with two directives:  DO NOT TELL THEM WHAT YOU “DID”!  DO TELL THEM WHAT YOU “ACCOMPLISHED” AND HOW YOU MADE A “DIFFERENCE”! In STEP 4, we’ll also talk about KEY WORDS & KEY WORD PHRASES, the importance of BULLET POINTS, WHITE SPACE and THE PROPER LENGTH. We’ll also talk about how to know what details are important to specific employers and where to find them. That will roll us into STEP 5-YOUR LASER FOCUSED SEARCHwhich is where we started today’s conversation.  When you get to the actual STEP 5 discussion, we’ll quickly unpack your LASER FOCUSED SEARCH to highlight the search tools and techniques that your fellow Seekers will fail to consider. We’ll talk about:  How to find the 80% of all jobs that are never posted or advertised.  You’ll learn how to not only find potential Dream Organizations, but how to discover what they need you to know about them. You’ll learn how to connect with individuals inside your target companies who can introduce you to the Boss.  We’ll also demonstrate how to identify and even connect with the decision makers directly in your choice of companies.  STEP 6 is the main event, I like to call INTERVIEWING YOUR DREAM JOB BOSS, an intentional plan to allow you to influence a conversation in your favor. By adding more value to the conversation, through your own questions, your interviewer will be pleased and impressed by your preparation.  By mastering the ability to define your WHY and to present it articulatly. In a face to face conversation with an Interviewer, you will enter from a position of power. Your confidence through preparation will actually allow you to direct the tone of the interview.  Even the most experienced interviewers will have a tendancy to shift into auto-interview mode by rolling into a standard Question and Answer routine. Bringing your own curiosity and research about their company to the table will be a motivation for the interviewer to spend more time with you. As they respond to your questions, they will  begin to sell you on the values of their organization.  Just a side note, your objective in an interview is to demonstrate your qualifications, while giving the employer an opportunity to answer your questions. Your questions will demonstrate that you understand their WHY and are primed and ready to meet their challenges.   Staying true to form, your Fellow Seekers will be predisposed to fumble the interview opportunity in a big way. When we get to the discussion of WHAT TO DO IN AN INTERVIEW, you’ll see how your previous PREP STEPS will have set you up for success.  Most Seekers will walk into an interview expecting a Pop Quiz of a Pass/No Pass exam. Your preparation will allow you to change the tone of your interview from an INQUISITION to a much more positive CONVERSATION with like minded individuals. Based on you prep, both parties will come to see your connection as a logical solution to  solving their staffing problem. WIN/WIN, again. Your FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION, on the other hand, most of whom will never make it to the interview process, will have predictably failed at another critical PREP STEP relating to the question of WHY. Their first first hurdle will begin with an akward and unpolished presention of their own WHY. Of course it is essential for the INTERVIEWEE to be able to confidently paint a picture of WHO they are, WHAT they do (or would like to) and WHY they do it.   The fact of the matter is that the second part of the equation, which refers to the employers WHY, as in “WHY should they care about your WHY?” Bottom line, if you or your fellow Seekers haven’t taken the time to understand what makes the employer tick, the odds of selling yourself as a valuable future asset are unlikely.  By not going into an interview already knowing WHO they really are, WHAT they really do and the real reason that they do it, the interview is likely to be doomed to disappointment for both sides. It’s impossible to form a WIN/WIN alliance if neither party, the employer nor the applicant knows “WHO AM I TALKING TO AND WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION?” Finally, to wrap today’s rant, once you’ve nailed the interview, you may find yourself along side a small group of similarly qualified applicants, all with an eye on the same prize. You’ll be almost to the finish line, but don’t stop short. This is the point where you’re FUTURE FORMER COMPETITION earns their title. They will have put all of the cards on the table and headed for the house to sit and wait with fingers crossed, once again.  While they are hoping and praying at home, you have one more hand to be playing. I look forward to sharing the critical STEP 7 – SEALING THE DEAL that has worked well for me and many of my CAREER BOOSTING CONNECTIONS.  So when you’re in the mood and the time is right to ramp up your routine, let’s keep the conversation going.

Alex discusses how to close on those tough deals that all investors face. What do you do when the seller doesn't like your cash offer? There are other ways to structure deals and to help your homeowners than just a straight up “as is” cash offer. Alex dives into it in detail on this episode! Key Takeaways: Do your sellers trust you? Need help with deal structuring? Check out episode 92. You can't help every seller that walks through your door. If you can't meet a seller eye-to-eye, maybe offering seller financing can help you get over that hump. Sometimes your cash offer just isn't the solution. What else can you do? Ask your seller more in-depth questions to understand the reasons why they're selling. It's important to go into an appointment with a little bit of an open mind. You want to craft a customized solution for your seller. It's not always a one-size-fits-all approach. Always ask yourself, “How can I help these people?” Get your sellers to do ‘reverse math.'

Today’s caller, Linsey, is concerned her boyfriend may have an addiction to alcohol. She loves him and believes that if he can change they may be able to take their relationship to the next level. She thinks her problem is in her relationship but as our coaching session shows, it has very little to do with her partner and more to do with something deep within herself.  You cannot change other people. Your desire to change and heal yourself should not be attached to changing someone else. Focus only on yourself.    It is important to make healthy changes, even if it feels really scary. Unhealthy lifestyles feel familiar and safe because we have been in them for so long. It is crucial to find professional support and to be held accountable when we start making changes. It is difficult for us to do this on our own. Our ego doesn’t like it when we change because it craves certainty. And, as we start to grow in consciousness, the ego starts to hold on a little tighter. If listening to this call was uncomfortable for you or if it brought up some awareness around your own addictions, consider what you may be using to avoid feeling and dealing. This is why I am creating an Over It and On With It course to give you tools and resources to feel, deal and heal. Coaches — I could have coached Linsey to get out of her relationship. Personally, I hope she does distance herself from it to focus on her own healing. But, if I coached her in that direction she may have shut down. She said she loves him even though she knows he’s an addict. She feels safe being a co-dependent in the relationship due to her relationship with her mother. I didn’t want her ego to take over and for her to get defensive. It may not have been possible for her to get to the deeper awareness she reached during the call. It’s important to give someone the dignity of their process, instead of encouraging them to make a move they may not be ready to make.

It is also more likely to be remembered, whether it was seen online or offline, because you are speaking to your prospective customer rather than pushing your business at them. No one likes to be “sold,” but most everyone likes to buy things they want. Customer-focused messages transform your marketing into customer magnets! A Step-by-Step ‘Base’ Recipe to YOUR “Secret Sauce” for Customer-Focused Messages Write all your marketing messages content from the perspective of your target audience—online and offline. Talk to your prospects, not at them. Carefully review all marketing messages to make certain they contain words and phrases that your target audience would use when searching for what they want. Caution: be certain you are talking to your prospects rather than search engines. Avoid becoming obsessed and over-packing your messages with keyword after keyword, such that your messages no longer sound like people talking to each other. Search engines are targeting-“tools,” not your target audience. Be the solution to the problems your target audience is likely to have, by providing relevant content on your Website Be the source of answers to the questions your target audience is likely to have, by providing relevant content on your Website.

Decide upon a plan for how often you will add new content to your Website—remember these are new reasons for prospects to visit your marketing messages, and new opportunities to strengthen your ‘expert’ position as well as develop the trust of your target audience. And all of this is without paying for AdWords and expensive SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies! When your marketing messages and Website content are focused on serving your customers, including thoughtful consideration of which keywords your customers and target audience would most likely be using, your Website content IS your SEO strategy. Who’s Doing It Right? While representing only a very small percentage of the businesses involved in marketing both online and offline, there are businesses are out there that do already create their marketing messages from the perspective of their target audience. Would it surprise you to discover that those businesses that develop their messages in this manner are also particularly successful? A few examples: at the Enterprise level include Coca Cola, Proctor & Gamble, and Red Bull; on the small business level, there are “River Pools & Spas” in the U.S. state of Virginia and Dinesen Flooring in Denmark. I know what you’re thinking. Well, yeah! Coca Cola, Proctor & Gamble (P&G), Red Bull—they have MASSIVE UBER-budgets. They can pursue any marketing idea they want. What can that possibly have to do with my small business? Yes, Enterprise-level businesses have budgets which, if we say them out-loud, could make us break out in a zero-envy rash. We can’t play in their ‘financial’ ballpark. However, we can emulate their strategies by acting on what these businesses, collectively, are doing right. We can also realize not all Enterprise-level businesses are doing it right; actually, most of them are not. So, money is not the difference. Insight, choice and execution, through resourceful and creative emulation, is the difference. And small business owners can capitalize on that difference. The Enterprise business examples above are not each utilizing all of the powerful pieces of effective customer-focused marketing. Only Red Bull is doing it all!
