Can you advance confidently?

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau 


If you find yourself, stumped, feeling bad, against a wall, or depressed about your current situation. Realize this: It can change, and change for the better.  We need not look any further than the quote about by Mr. HD Thoreau.  His simple statement holds truth in it.


A great example of this is in modern day would be Mr. Steven Speilberg. I will summarize the story I recently read about how he actually got his start in the movie industry. He took a Universal Studio tour, and jumped off the shuttle at an opportune moment.  He would take the same tour every day dressed in a suit and tie, and always walk out and acknowledge the guard in the evening. He eventually found an empty office and took up residence in there, and even put his name on the directory.  That, my friends, takes chutzpah.  But his sole reason: He wanted to make movies. That is what his vision was, and he went confidently in the direction of his dreams. He used that in-roads to get his first student film in front of some directors.


If you are searching for a dream job, with the dream company. Make yourself known, go confidently in the direction of your dreams. If you are sitting around waiting for something to fall in your lap, you will most likely keep waiting. But if you take ACTION, and you do the things that will put you where you want to be.  If you found the 'perfect company' have you researched it, can you tell them in an interview how you can solve issues? Can you identify ways, as non-employee of the company how you can go in and improve their bottom line?  It's possible. Look at the company, look at their overall structure. Look at their competitors, study what sets them apart from their competitors.  Put yourself out there, offer to work two weeks for free, or even a month. 


There are over 1Million new jobs in the United States that were listed in the last seven days.  I know unemployment is high, but being un-employed shouldn't be an option for you.  Endeavor to live  a life YOU imagine and YOU WILL MEET with success unexpected, in common hours!


Until next time.
