Welcome to My World

“The power to heal...the power to repair what has been broken is in your hands.” – Encounter 2012

The way the world works has changed.

• Opportunities for employment are no longer achieved through the sending of paper resumes’ as much as they are through networking.

• The factory system is dying. My importance no longer resides with my past employment or even my educational background.• My value in the marketplace is revealed through personal branding by OTHER PEOPLE (i.e. Linkedin’s Second Degree of Separation.)

• In 2010, the average employment tenure was gauged at 3 years. This

year, it has dropped to just two years. • Bottom line, to successfully compete in the marketplace today, I must show myself to be a linchpin (indispensible).

• Therefore, I have become proactive in building a personal infrastructure/safety net of caring people, willing places and useful things.

Getting the right job is not about just pushing the right buttons. It’s about building the right relationships…

…with the right people.(People who believe in the value I say I have to deliver.)

It’s not just the economy, stupid.It’s about my relationships.

I have stopped playing a numbers game in seeking employment. Instead, I now focus on becoming indispensable to people.

(Want evidence the econony is bad? This restaurant has gone out-of- business.

Less than two months ago Jan Rogers had a pre-birthday surprise in the restaurant.)

(This is the restaurant that replaces the Bagel Bagel Café for the Business Connection. It is also my first client. It is a believer in myTRUE VALUE.)

(Jason Womack flew across the nation to speak to a conference of 300 people at The Breakers in Palm Beach for 45 minutes, but he and his lovely wife spent 3 hours with me, Jan and several others at the Bagel Bagel Café several months ago. Why? Because he understands the value of a tribe – where true friends abide.)

(This man gave me a laptop computer and helped make Jan’s pre-birthday surprise extra-special. He has also been mentoring me with fund-raising ideas as he has a masters degree in marketing from Rutgers University. Why demonstrate such care? Because he belives in my TRUE VALUE.)

(Jennifer had more than 500 hits to the Squidoo lens I created for her in less than a month. This would never have happened had the woman not had faith my ability. Belief in people and their TRUE VALUE really does matter.)

(Rafael not only attended my Encounter reception, but financed my initial social media workshop. He also transported me to many of the coffee meetups. Why? Because he values who I am and what I can do.)

False Security vs. True Freedom

My TRUE VALUE is not meant to be someone else’s passport to freedom. I will not settle for false security. I will strive to remain the CEO of my own life.

(This is how I appear in the looping slide shows I created for The Business Connection, which currently showcases nearly 30 different businesses online.)

I am not only actively seeking full-time employment, but work as an independent contractor. I feel very good about my interview with the tech support arm of OMGfast.com. But, that is only going to pay $10 or $11 per hour. I need to be making at last $25 per hour as that is the median pay for my skill set. I have also recently had what is called a Torqwork assessment at Workforce One North. This now provides me with access to the “hidden job market.”

There are seven ways I can benefit any business , nonprofit organization or person in career transition:

1) $5 press release distribution - including professionally shot video in the press release, courtesy of Grab Networks.

2) Worldwide marketing collaboration through The Jade Magnet of India. There is very little that cannot be accomplished at a considerable savings by 10,000 marketing experts using a wikinomics business model strengthened by crowd mechanics.

3) The creation of Sparkler Display Cards - where mobile marketing gets done without a phone.

4) The T-Shirt Promotion Store - where you customize, wear and share your message.

5) Foursquare marketing management - where the "shop local" idea really works.

6) e-Signature contract delivery - where the signing of a contract gets done by email.

7) Middleman marketing - where the sales process becomes customer service compliant and inbound.

This is the world’s largest marketplace for small services, starting at $5. I currently have the maximum amount of gigs (20 gigs) from which the public can choose.

Since before moving to Florida, I had my own small business column in the San Francisco Examiner. Since moving to Florida, I have been granted an additional column in the Ft.

I have created 79 Squidoo lenses . A Squidoo lens is a one-page website, composed of modules that do amazing things. People fund charities using Squidoo lenses.

Furnishing sent from storage in California:There are a wide range of items hopefully coming from California by the end of the year as they represent nearly 60 years of living – thanks to my friend, Sandy Hamilton, who initially placed them in storage. Among the items in storage is a very important MRI film, a very nice Sharp projector and family photographs. ALL GONE!

Where’s the money coming from:• Gigs (i.e. Fiverr, etc.)• Worldwide Marketing Collaboration (The Jade Magnet of India)• Mobile marketing through Sparkler Display Cards• Online T-shirt promotion store• Foursquare marketing management• e-Signature contract delivery• Middleman marketing • Anything else I can find full and part-time (i.e. Omgfast.com or its affiliates.)

Due to the state of the national economy, it is clear that whether I find full-time employment or not in the corporate or small business sector, I need to incorporate myself in some fashion if only to properly account for all my streams of income under one roof. Both Jan and I have already spoken with both CPA Doug Cohen and business attorney Dave Steinfeld. I am looking forward to speaking with local CPA Uma Baso in the coming weeks.
