It's great to reconnect with you. I'm thrilled that you want to get Focused on Your Success!

As an executive coach one of the greatest perks I have in my business is the rush I get from working with top-tier, smart, accomplished professionals. As a matter of fact I often tell people my clients are "ACE's" --- A-personality (confident, competitive, motivated,) C-level Execs and/or Entrepreneurs.

What's been particularly excruciating to watch is the long painful trail of business and career casualties as a result of the economy. No matter how competent, experienced or savvy you may be \ almost everyone has been affected in some way. Sales down, job lost, competition up, uncertainty looming... HOWEVER I've also seen enough successes - lot's of them -- right now, amid all the craziness, to know that EVERY Exec and Business Owner can have more results, be it a shorter more effective job search or increased revenues or "heads and shoulders" visibility above the swarms of competition.

My goal is to help you get back on top when you get Focused On Your Success.

Each week you'll get timely, practical ideas and critical, implement-able resources that will promote important results in your timeline and your bottom-line.

Have you experienced recent successes or are you faced with new challenges? Share and we'll play it forward.

To your continued success,

Jeannette

Looking for a job? Position yourself as a solution-provider not a job seeker. Focus on what you can bring to a company in terms of results not knowledge. The masses will talk about what they know and the tactical responsibilities they've had-- You will talk about what you produce and the meaningful, specific results you consistently deliver that positively affect bottom-line performance.

It's easy to get sucked into the hype and drama of current events that play into our emotions. So when it comes to managing our careers or our businesses, you'll make better, more reliable decisions when those decisions are based on fact-based research.

Let's face it there will always be challenges, competition and opportunities. And each of these conditions or situations can provide important data that can give us the "up-front hind-sight" we need for to succeed. Do your homework and accumulate research to create educated strategies based on facts.

So tip number one is: Never - and I repeat never assume, prejudge or compromise when it comes to your goals and objectives.

Tip number two is: Always make decisions built on fact-based research. Consider the fast-track success you could achieve when you:

• Gain factual market data
• Evaluate a competitor.
• Learn the strengthens and weaknesses of a prospective employer.
• Understand industry trends
• Know how to find and contact key prospects.
• Expand your network to include true qualified professionals, associations and knowledge experts.
• Have the resources you need.

Tip number three is:Create a library of great resources to help you get the information you need when you need it. Here's three great ones to get you started:

• No matter what you need to help support your job search, you can get the answers, resources and direction you need at the Riley Guide – at www.rileyguide.com. This site is the next best thing to having a coach! (It's really hard to replace me, but this information will be a huge help!)
• When it's business information you're looking for, you don't have to go any farther then this incredible site: http://business-research.info/business-research-links.htm.
