How To Get the Job Of Your Dreams with little experience or qualifications

Tweet It!




As a Blog primarily focused on building passive income online, this post meanders in a different direction! 


One of the pre requisites to success is the attainment of a well adjusted mindset. One that is tuned in to and open to opportunity. 


Self confidence, and trust in the unseen forces at work when goals are written often seem to exist only in the domain of the work from home entrepreneur psyche. However these same attributes are equally important in the offline day to day pursuit of success.




Very few will become instant millionaires online. For most, the bread and butter consistency that a career offers means that it is important that the same ambition that drives your entrepreneurial dreams is also put in place in the pursuit of your dream job.


The video and Blog summary touch on some of the small but hugely significant actions you can take to out compete those with better credentials, such as age and work experience, and get the job of your dreams with relatively little work. 


The key is NOT the attainment of higher learning qualifications - in fact there is a point at which academic qualifications can even work against you. The real key to success is...... to become OUTSTANDING.


The Video above discusses some left of center ideas that are virtually guaranteed to absolutely make sure you do stand out and are remembered!


Below is my latest ezine article on the topic:


The job market can be extremely competitive and striving for your dream job may seem elusive, but that need not be the case.
The key strategy you will need to pursue and which will dramatically increase your odds of success is to find a way to stand out from the crowd. To be outstanding should be your goal.
How to separate yourself from better-qualified applicants:
  • Research the company thoroughly. Investigate as much as you can via trade journals, Google, YouTube and so forth.
  • Create a Blog based around this industry, and fill it with relevant content.
  • Request an interview with authorities within your chosen industry and offer to record and upload to YouTube and your Blog.
  • Call in to the offices of the business that you are hoping to join and see if you can get 5 minutes with the secretary to find out as much as you can about the position requirements.
  • Try and obtain the direct mobile or cell phone contact number of the decision maker, and then take the risk and initiative of calling them directly.
  • Be sure to communicate both your passion and enthusiasm for the job at every opportunity.
  • When submitting your curriculum vitae, add a little flair.  Direct the reader to your industry specific Blog and be sure to include the links to any websites or videos you have uploaded.
In conclusion, your goal should be, to get noticed. Create the first impression of being an authority in your chosen industry, regardless of whether you have the appropriate qualifications.
All interviews are a two way sales process and you need to have the posture of someone who is asking the questions and directing the process. 


If you do this well the tables will turn and the interviewer will be the one striving to earn your trust and and selling the job to you!
It is hard to over sell yourself, but in order to come across as authentic you will need to support your claims of competency with examples of your activity

Social Media List Building

Tweet It!


So why exactly ARE you online? Me? Well I'm online to have fun, to connect with like minded people and to build a solid residual income in order to fund my travel and lifestyle pursuits -which incidentally do NOT include spending 40 hours a week for 40 years in an office - just to pay the bills and retire at 67 on a pension!


Aren't Social Media sites such as Facebook and Twitter for connecting with friends, and NOT for the purpose of soliciting business?


Give me a break lol! If that were the case why on earth would people have thousands of connections with people they have never met and with whom they have virtually no common interests?


Personally I use Facebook almost exclusively for social activities and 'hide' those who continually bombard me with links to their business endeavors - BUT that doesn't change the fact that thousands are earning a very tidy income from marketing into these social networks. Twitter I'm kind of less picky about marketing into - that's the game




It's a free world and people interact how ever they please, just because we may not like it - that's the way of the world


Millions of people are now looking to escape the drudgery of often joyless careers and searching for a way to earn a living from home, preferably one that has low over heads and can be done from a lap top I Pod or PC in the comfort of their pyjamas and whilst in the company of the kids and loved ones.


These people are looking for like minded people to guide them and share common ideas. Yes they are also cross selling to each other as well but so what?


If you are new or even perhaps a veteran of online marketing and have been struggling to get traction and more specifically build a sizable targeted list then you could do worse than start by studying how to utilize the networks that you probably already use daily to assist you in making this a year to remember!

KB -Gold - Just Hype?

Tweet It!

There's some crazy commentary out there in cyber land debating whether or not the Western World is heading towards a 1920's financial meltdown - and I'm just not buying it. 


What intrigues me however is the degree of concern being expressed by some pretty savvy people, who study this sort of stuff.


Look I don't know if the US$ which has a mere l0% of its buying value from 100 years ago will continue to devalue - I also don't know if Gold will double or triple in value over the next decade - so excuse me if I don't buy in to the hysteria BUT... what I do know is that regardless of what scenario plays out - there is an absolute necessity for people to have some sort of secure savings plan -nest egg that can insure against whatever economic fluctuations to occur.


For me I'd like to have a few eggs in my investment/savings fund and not just cash. Property is usually pretty safe except who's got hundreds of thousands of dollars spare to play that game? Money under the bed? I don't think so - Look how much less your $100 Bill gets you today compared to 5 - 10 years ago.


Gold Savings? Maybe, but at $1300 an ounce that's a big ask - and what about the daily fluctuations in price - how do you pick the right time? I for sure don't know


What I like about KB - Gold has very little to do with all the stories of economic gloom and doom. I like the idea that my banking institution is not reaping the billions of dollars profit off of hard working citizens. I like that I can open a savings account that is backed by actual gold AND that I can cash it in at any time at spot gold prices. Oh and did I mention that I can set up a plan whereby I can purchase it in Kinebars. Kinebars? - yep that's unusual - that's like a really small unit of gold!! 


The real deal though is that unlike any other investment savings plan I can refer and promote the opportunity and earn a solid income without one cent coming out of the pockets of the purchasers. It's essentially a genuine wholesale program cutting out the middleman.


However all that is of no consequence UNLESS you know how to operate the business smoothly and effectively. That is why I'm involved. Personally I have no great love of MLM - sorry if that offends you. Franchises leave me a bit cold too - big risk and a lot of money out layed to the parent company


However you define this business plan or whatever label you give it - the way I see it is that you tune into a duplicateable no cost entry program operated by some of the smartest internet marketers online and just plagiarize! Ok maybe that's stretching it a tad - but you get my drift just copy what works.


To join KB-GOLD1 - that's me by the way! Just click on the Gold Bullion at the top and the rest will unfold - again forget the hype it's just an opportunity for goodness sake for us all to build a secure savings base and earn a great income along the way
