My Offer to You

I have a master’s degree in training and educating adults. I have studied many types of training and realized some of the mistakes many course builders make.

It’s an easy trip to fall into. You know your craft, and you see people making mistakes in the real world, so you want to go out and correct everybody. The fault in this is assuming that everybody does the same thing the same way. The truth is that everybody is different, and so are their needs.

I am now offering courses, and my latest is based on a book I wrote called ‘If You Want A Job, Clean Your Office.’. I’m offering this as the central part of a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal with a price tag that I can’t believe. This is the deepest discount I have ever given. And yet anything offered is only as good as it helps the person using it and buying it. So I designed and run my courses a little bit differently.

Although I have the course well written and developed, I will start by talking privately with each class member and taking a survey of where they feel they are. If I am going to help someone be successful, I must make course provide the class members with the best training that fits their needs.

How do I do this? I teach live classes on zoom. Yes, we’ll have some films, graphs, and charts. We will share ideas and thoughts. My job is to get you to where you can get your job. Can I go out and find you a job and just give it to you? Nope. They won’t hire me. I already have a job. My job is to help you get your job.

  • Are you trying to make your mind up on a career?
  • Are you trying to figure out where your career is taking you?
  • Wanting a new job or a new type of job?

These are the things I can help you with.

Our Black Friday sale will be much more than a simple course. It will be filled with tremendous and knowledgeable things. I’m helping you get to where you want to go.

  • Micro-courses on how to make your time work for you.
  • Using your elevator pitch in your best interest.
  • How to get people to remember you.

The entire list will be published this Friday.

I would like you to think about this, and if you are interested, please contact me. MikeB@reveille.rocks

I am not a high-pressure salesperson if you haven’t caught on by now. I’m here to help the people who could use my skills.

Thanks for reading. You know we try to search for home

Cleaning Your Way To A New Job

You’re probably wondering what cleaning something has to do with getting a new job. You learn organization, planning, and following processes when you clean your office. These are called soft skills, and soft skills are the things that employers seek.

Many organizations pay a lot of money for training their teams, like 5S, 6 Sigma, value stream mapping, working with difficult people, and many other quality-related skills. And, therefore many job candidates read the books and know the key phrases.

I have you work with quality ideas because interviewers want to hire someone who has done the work. The interview board will see the gleam in your eye because you did the job.

I have a book on Amazon called ‘Clean Your Office.’ If you have any questions or guidance, email me at mikeb@reveille.rocks.

Power

I have seen many complain because they feel they have no power. And yet each of us has the power within us. It is up to us to take and use that power or not.

Most people have problems understanding power because they don’t understand it. Power is not forcing people, nor is it pushing demands. The real power comes from the care and work we do for others.

People with real power are concerned for their people. Chiefs eat after their tribe is fed. Commanders’ main concerns are for the welfare of their troops. Good civic leaders care for the welfare of their constituents. These people know The real power comes from mutual care for the needs of all.

If you want real power, start by helping someone who needs it. Then, go on and help someone else. Find a mentor to help and guide you. And always be willing to assist.

Power is not found corked in a bottle or locked up in a cabinet. It is always available to those who use it wisely. Yet you need to be there to help it, for it is not sedentary.

Do You Have a Minute

How many minutes a day are wasted not doing anything productive? How often do we not have a minute to do something good for someone else when asked? If we are too busy to help another, why are we not more productive.

Actually, being productive includes lending a hand when someone else needs one. When you help someone else, are you not helping yourself? I remember reading in a good book somewhere that sharing your talents with others brings them back to you, shaken down and overflowing.

You cannot give away some things, and the more you try, the more they come back to you with interest. I do not know exactly why this is. I only know through experience that it is true.

What are your talents doing for you, and how are they multiplying?

What Are Your Alternatives

We do not always get what we want. Sometimes it feels like fate itself is conspiring against us. At a point like that, what are you going to do?

Well, that depends on what your alternatives are. So here is the sixty-four dollar question; what are your alternatives? Do you know, and have you checked them out?

Before you make any decision, big or little, you should take a moment to look at all the alternatives. You may find you do not need a choice that could be expensive for you. Maybe what you see as a need is only a temporary glitch. And possibly, new additions to the marketplace will make your choice null and void over the next 90-days.

It is like someone in a cave once said to some passing strangers, “Choose wisely.”

If some research and a good night’s sleep can save you a recurring bill for service that you will not get the full benefit from, isn’t that worth the money saved in your pocket

What was the service you purchased that failed to give you what you needed?

Peace Is Something We Earn

Anything worth having is rarely free. Someone has to work for it, and others are more than willing to take it away for their own selfish gains. And You Peace is something everyone else desires.

The peace you enjoy was not freely given. It was earned by generations of people standing up to tyranny and refusing to willingly hand over what little they had. No one understands the value of this more than those who lay down their lives for the peace and freedom of others.

I remember how my nation would help others by lending them aircraft and other means of protection on what was known as a ‘lend-lease’ policy. The President likened it to a neighbor’s house catching fire and lending him a garden hose to put out the flames before they lit your house.

Sometimes to help keep our peace and freedom, it is occasionally essential to help our friends and neighbors by lending them what they need.

What are your thoughts?

Jobs Are Back

Great news! Jobs are back, and employers are hiring. The mask mandates are lifted for most areas and life is starting to get back to normal. Now is the time to start earning again.

If you have problems finding the job you want, check out your local workforce center. Do not hang around there for weeks waiting for someone to come and hire you. That is not how it works. Go to the workforce center to find the hiring employers, write your resume to their needs, and go to where you can meet them and apply for the job.

If you need help, check out my books on Amazon.com. I can give you a free discovery call, and we can work from there. If you need more help, contact me at Mikeb@reveillerocks.me.

Are you ready for your new job?

Changing Jobs

Are you looking for a new job? If you are leaving an old job to do so, I would like you to stop and think for a second. I am not saying you need to keep the old position to show employment. What I am saying is do not separate yourself from one source of income until you have another income to take its place.

Does this mean you will be doing some ‘double-duty’ somewhere along the line? Maybe. Yet other things could be worse.

If you strike out on your own to find a job without adequate funding, you may be making a big mistake. If you are forced to go back to a position you did not like to start with, your dreams might be dashed.

How much money should you have? That depends. Calculate everything you are spending right now and add an extra 5% for inflation. Then add in the costs for training, education, and other expenses to learn a new career field. Then calculate the months to actually find a place to hire you. Double it. If you are going to work for yourself, Double it again. 

Now you have some real numbers to consider. The best-case scenario is you get hired next week, and the next family vacation is paid for. Worst case, at least you planned for it.

Many dream jobs start off as side-gigs for a reason. We do not do well without adequate funding.

What is your dream job?

They Pay They choose

Please check out my book, Critical Creative Thinking In Employment Now, on sale at:       https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Creative-Thinking-Employment-employers/dp/B09HFSMLR7/ 

When you get hired somewhere, are you joining that company, store, business, or whatever it is? Or, are they joining you?

It sounds like a ‘so-what’ question, yet the answer will predict the odds of getting picked for your desired position.

You face one of the most important decisions you must understand before ever looking for a job. Putting this in the proper perspective, you must remember that you are not the only person applying for the position. You have no power to change management’s needs. If you do not fulfill their requirements, they will leave you in the dust. They are just too busy

When you get hired, you’re joining an organization that already has its ground rules, what works best for them. The equilibrium amongst their workers and management makes the company successful. They will teach you all of this information and then some. You want to remember that you are joining them, and you will work by their rules.

I don’t want this to sound too rough. In my years of teaching people, I have had more than one person show up for a practice interview adorned with a full head of spikes; piercings, nose rings, tongue studs, and other paraphernalia, including earrings to practice an interview for a conservative company.

Most companies will not worry about what you do on your own time. These companies want you in proper dress code when dealing with conservative customers.

What choice does the company have? There will be 252 resumes for each position a company advertises on average. Most people will have looked at the company website, read the company values, and probably the dress code. The majority of the 252 people applying for the job will be hungry and ready to do what it takes to gain that job.

Do you want the job? Play by the company rules.

A Prescription for the Whereisits

Hi, Mike b. here, I am building courses and books. To get you the best information, I study and learn new methods from many different sources. I also work with people as a life coach, helping them get hired. You are right if you think it takes some time to do all this.

I am experiencing an even more significant problem right now. I am suffering from the “Whereisits?”. I have had something like this before, only that was “Wherediditgoes.” I know I am printing things out and making booklets which I can eventually email to people. I just cannot find what I did with them. By the time I tear my office apart looking for them, I have no idea where anything else is.

So I am building a new course, it is how to arrange your office to never lose another thing you need and have already made.

I will send you starting pictures, day-to-day work details, and a course at the end you can get.

In the mean time, please follow along and maybe try a section or two that will help you.
