My Fourth Revenue Stream Is The Now What Book Series

My Fourth Revenue Stream Is The Now What Book Series On Fridays I had been sharing each of my ten revenue streams. I took a break for a while because I wasnt quite ready to share the last three (there are now two left). I’m big on diversifying personal income, whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee. My intention with this series is to inspire or encourage you with your own diverse revenue streams. Below this post you’ll see links to the previous posts, or you can click on the Multiple Streams of Income category on the left. Mitchell Levy, the publisher at Happy About, asked me over a year ago if I was interested in being the Executive Editor of the Now What??? series.   I had written Im on LinkedIn Now What??? and didnt know that it was a series yet! My response was no way.   I did not want to worry about making sure that other peoples books would fit within my brand, that the quality would be good enough, and coddle authors along (aka, babysit people).   I know there was a fair amount of coddling me when I was doing my books, and I couldnt imagine having to do that with others while I was trying to build my JibberJobber business. The first few ideas he pitched at me for Now What??? books seemed to be completely out of my brand, and it just made sense to focus on what I was doing. And then, one day, I got a royalty check. You may have heard that there is no money in writing a book.   I kind of somewhat believed that, until I got that one royalty check.   I thought geesh, if I can get this from one book what could I get from more? I called Mitchell and told him that I was ready to talk about what it meant to be the Executive Editor of the Now What??? series.   And then I started to think what my vision for the Now What??? series was: What if the Now What??? series had 100 titles, and because of the value/power of the series, they could all help one another sell?   What if they could be branded to some fraction of the Dummies or Idiots books, and companies or career centers would love to have them in stock?   What if we could sell say 1,000 of each title each year? There would be benefits: financial and brand awareness (for JibberJobber) might be two of the biggest benefits. I approached a number of people who had knowledge or expertise in a certain area and have started down the road with a number books (about 20 titles).   I am not ready to announce any of them yet, but am excited to see this stream move forward and mature. Whod-a-thunk: Me, and executive editor. Has this series been helpful to you, as you figure out your other revenue streams?

How to manage a college education

How to manage a college education The idea of paying for a liberal arts education is over. It is elitist and a rip off and the Internet has democratized access to information and communication skills to the point that paying $30K a year to get them is insane. Ben Casnocha has one of the most thorough, self-examined discussions about the value of college on his blog. He went to college, probably, because so many people told him to. (Here are some good links on Bens blog.) Ben left college. Early. And hes fascinating, and hes educating himself through experience, which is what the Internet does not provide. The Internet provides books and discussion, so why would you need to go to school for those things? Its the time of year when college students start looking for the return on investment for their education: They start worrying about what theyre going to do this summer. More than 90% of college kids get internships at some point or another, and, whether or not internships are fair (some parents buy them), it is really, really important to have productive summers that can distinguish a recent-grads resume. And, of course, its a tough time to graduate into the workforce. Tough is totally relative, though. Its not as tough to be entry level as it is to be, say, a baby boomer with 20 years experience at a newspaper, or 20 years of experience underwriting ridiculous mortgages. But still, its tough to be in college right now. It would be so great, and helpful, if college career centers could be front and center in every students planning. But most career centers are useless, because most colleges presume you still need college to teach you how to think critically. So they can get away with having incompetent career centers. This is why you should be really careful using career centers because colleges have this ivory-tower delusion that supporting yourself is ancillary to why you went to college. Heres why career centers are terrible: Career centers cater to companies, not candidates. Career centers are in the business of booking interviews on campus. They already have the students on campus, so they worry about getting companies on campus. This means that career centers do things that are not necessarily good for students. For example, companies want to compare apples to apples, so they want all the student resumes to have the same format. Career centers encourage this, so that companies are happy. But if everyone has the same format, then only the students who excel at what is emphasized by the default resume structure will benefit. So ask your career center for input on your resume, but dont let them dictate structure to you. Career centers dont understand social media. Most people get jobs from their network, not from a career center. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network. Career centers want to get credit for everything they do its their job security. So they want your blog, your domain name, your online identity everything to be tied to the university career center. How does this help you? It only serves to limit you in the social media world. You can crosspost to the career center, fine, but making the career center the focal point of your online identity is extremely short-sighted and could only be promoted by an institution failing to put student needs first, or to understand them in the first place. Career center staff is self-selecting for underperformance. Colleges have not, typically, focused on career centers as an ROI focal point. Colleges, especially the really expensive ones, think of vocational school as pedestrian. So they track how many students go on to get a Ph.D in Russian from Columbia, but not how many students get jobs. Therefore, the career center is not exactly the hot button in budget meetings, and its not the landing ground for visionaries, because what visionary goes to a part of an institution no one cares about? Heres what you can do to make your college investment pay off: Forget the idea of paying for a liberal arts education. It used to be that people only did writing and critical thinking for school. So they needed school to teach them communication skills and critical thinking skills. The generation that grew up with social media is the most effective at communicating of any generation in history. Despite their schooling, not because of it. Students today dont need teachers who dont know how to write a blog post to teach them how to persuade people. Because the bar for communication is high, and its in the blogosphere, and if you can write a blog post that gets a decent conversation started, then you already know how to write a persuasive, engaging argument. Pick a school based on their track record for getting students jobs. Look, did you get into Harvard? Did you have a 4.0 in high school? Then forget paying a lot of money for some chi-chi liberal arts school. Just go to a cheap school and get the degree. Dont delude yourself that the 40K a year is worth it for a mid-tier school. And, since youre not picking from a list of brand name schools, make your choice based on their track record for getting their graduates great jobs. (Hat tip: Melissa) Look, Im not saying school is stupid. Im one of the people who constantly commented on Bens blog that I thought he should go to college. But Im saying that you need to calculate the return on investment on going to college before you go to college so that you make sure youre going to college for rational reasons. Just because the liberal arts education was a default goal to the bourgeois of the last three centuries does not mean that route will work for you, right now.

3 great time management strategies Im failing at

3 great time management strategies Im failing at I decided to spend the lull at the end of December working on my time management skills. What has happened, though, is I have merely gained a deeper understanding of why my time management has fallen apart. Here are three strategies that everyone should be doing that I am not: 1. Do the most important thing first. I have interviewed at least ten productivity experts who have said that this is one of their essential pieces of advice. So I decided to start doing this. But for the past week I have followed through on this commitment less than half the time. Here is the cause for my failure: Fear. The most important thing of the day always matters the most, or is the hardest for me to do. Otherwise, I would have done it earlier. I am thinking that if I tell you this, then I will see how obvious it is that I have to plow through the fear or Ill get nothing done. But heres a secondary reason I am not doing my most important thing first: I am addicted to the immediate gratification of blog metrics. I love that I can watch my achievements hour by hour. Minute by minute if I am particularly dreading my to do list and the traffic is particularly interesting. I have a feeling I need to change the way Im thinking about this problem. Dan Markus, one of the guys who told me how important it is to do the hardest thing first, gave me a suggestion: Treat yourself like youd treat a kid. No dessert until you eat your dinner. No television until you clean your room. No blog metrics until you write your column. 2. Keep your email organized. I know youre supposed to use folders, and Merlin Mann can talk forever about how its important to keep your in box empty. So I have a filing system that empties my in box, but it involves arcane routines of renaming files that I transfer to folders I forget about. So when I was buying the Lifehacker book I noticed that the book people most often bought with it was Total Workday Control Using Microsoft Outlook. So in a vote of confidence for the Lifehacker community, I bought the Outlook book, too. Some people learn visually. I do not. And to me, the hundreds of screen shots in this book look like one of those puzzles where you try to find what has changed from one picture to the next. Besides that, just renaming one Task category took five pages. (Not that I got to the end, but I did skip ahead to take see where the end would be.) I decided that my problem is not my task list so I stopped trying to adjust it. And according to the book, having a few more folders for moving mail quickly out of my in box will help. What a relief. Because I really like writing my to do list by hand. 3. Stick to a schedule. If you dont have a plan for how youre going to meet your goals, then you probably wont meet them. This advice is about to do lists, but also about schedules. You need to control your time so that you are spending it in a way that reflects your values. I used to be really good at this. One of my strengths, for example, is that I block out 1pm to 8pm for my kids, and I can count on one hand the times I have made an exception to this rule in order to get more work done. But my schedule took a turn for the worst when I started blogging. I told myself I need to remake my schedule where I block out time to blog each day. (Full disclosure: My posts take me more than three hours each. When I was first investigating blogging I interviewed Dervala Hanley, who is known for lovely writing. She told me she spent two hours on each post and I thought she was crazy to spend that much time on a blog. But now, look whos crazy.) Mysteriously, I figured out Outlooks calendar without reading a book. So I started a calendar in Outlook. I scheduled every minute so I wouldnt have time to sneak in visits to other bloggers metrics. I built in time for all the stuff I am not making time for lately like getting my columns in before the deadline and spending enough time at the gym to feel like Im actually doing something there. My days were looking really good until I saw that I need three days every day to get my stuff done. Then it became clear why I am not sticking to a schedule: Im not willing to give stuff up. (My husband says, Give up the blog. That thing is like an online lottery ticket. This comment, of course, is true. I will ignore it, but its a word of caution for anyone who is thinking of blogging.) Parkinsons Law says that our tasks expand to fit the amount of time we allot. (Thanks, Andy) This rings true to me because if I didnt have kids I would swear that I had to work in the afternoons in order to survive. So I decided that I am not going to cut things out, Im going to do things faster. But to be honest, this has not been a rip-roaring success so far. For example, I told myself that I could only spend an hour on my post today. I went to Jason Warners blog, Meritocracy, and started thinking about his great statement of purpose that he posted this week. It is full of ideas about where we are with recruiting and what the workplace should provide people, and how we should treat each other. Its an important post that would take me at least three hours to blog about. So I skipped it. But believe me, this post that I wrote was no quickie, either.

Striking The Balance Why Vacations Are Vital

Striking The Balance Why Vacations Are Vital So, you’re an ambitious career woman. You have goals and a plan to make sure you achieve them. You are determined. And you work hard. Really hard. Most of our lives are dedicated to our careers we spend huge chunks of time commuting, work long hours and have an endless to-do list that just seems to get longer every day (sigh). Take a Break to Work Like A Boss Most of us are guilty of not taking vital time out to relax and rejuvenate, in fear that we won’t get everything done. But taking mental and physical breaks from work will make you more productive than if you spend 18 hours a day at your laptop. In an article by Forbes, we learn that “the top ten percent most productive employees didn’t actually work any more hours than anybody else. In fact, they took more breaks”. This is because our brains are wired to concentrate in bursts and need frequent breaks to recharge. Vacations are Vital Taking a week or two of vacation will enable your brain to completely switch off and re-energize. Have you ever slept for like 12 hours straight on the first day of your vacation? Yep, thought so. One of the most basic needs we have, and most vital, is sleep. Lack of it leads to exhaustion, which severely affects our ability to concentrate and make decisions. It will also leave you feeling super irritable and less able to deal with stressful situations. Catching up on a lack of sleep doesn’t just require one early night. It can take weeks to fully recharge from months’ worth of sleep deprivation. That is why it is so vital that we take time out from our hectic schedules to take a proper break. So, what are the best types of vacations to re-energize? I hear you ask. Cultural Trip Exploring a totally new culture is a great way to separate yourself from the familiar and heighten your desire to explore and understand new things. These types of trips will increase creativity. Try: a tour of vast Vietnam. The country has everything you could possibly want from a vacation: bright, bustling cities, vast ocean and sandy beaches, magnificent mountainsides and tasty treats to tempt you along the way. Beach Break If you live a particularly stressful lifestyle, a beach break is the perfect way to totally relax and unwind. Listen to the soothing sounds of the sea, dig your toes into powdery-white sand and breathe in the crisp ocean air. Try: an all-inclusive luxury hotel. That way, you don’t have to even think about cooking, cleaning or clearing up. Just enjoy that important ‘me’ time on your sun lounger. City Escape If you’re reading this thinking that you want to get away but have already used most of your vacation allowance, why not try a mini city break? Take 3 or 4 days to explore a new city, take in amazing architecture and immerse yourself in the local cuisine. Try: Paris, Rome, Budapest… there are many options! Europe is a great choice as it is full of fantastic cultural cities which are all totally unique. Whatever and wherever your preference, just go! Trust us, the vacation is vital for you to work like a boss.

Using LinkedIn For Confidential Executive Job Search - Executive Career Brandâ„¢

Using For Confidential Executive Job Search Do you have the same fear that many of my c-level executive clients have when I tell them  they need  a branded, 100% complete profile and to fully leverage all the social network has to offer? If theyre employed, they worry that their employer, or someone at work,  will see  their activity and know theyre looking for a new job. Some have a minimal profile they posted years ago and promptly forgot about. They never completed their profiles or used at all. What they fail to grasp is that a bare-bones profile, with no keyword-rich Professional Headline, or Summary section, and little or nothing in the Experience section, leaves people viewing their profiles with no meaningful information to help them assess them. No presence at all is as good as being invisible to the very people they need to be positioned directly in front of. They need a fully fleshed out profile for passive job search  â€" to be found by executive recruiters and the hiring decision makers at their target companies. As an undercover job seeker, they may not be able to be as proactive as those who are not employed. has a kind of safeguard for undercover job seekers. You can temporarily turn off automatic updates to your network whenever you make changes or updates to your profile (along with other activities), so at least no one will be formally alerted. Go to Settings in the drop-down menu at the top right of your profile. Click on Profile and select Turn on/off your activity broadcasts. Make sure the box there  â€" Let people know when you change your profile, make recommendations, or follow companies  â€" is UNCHECKED. Go back in and check the box if you no longer need to hide your activity. Obviously, anyone who is keeping track of you and other employees by checking their profiles will notice that you suddenly have a full profile or new information. Expect that people may ask you what youre up to. My recommendation to clients is to have a ready answer for why youre busy on . The trick to crafting an answer is to frame your answer around how your activities will benefit your current employer, because that is indeed the case. For instance, if youre a CMO, youd be wise to be working hard on connecting through with your vendors, agency partners, co-workers, other CMOs at other companies, and even competitors. Theyre probably hanging out on LI, so you should, too. You can say that youre  using to source  new leads and help  market the company. When existing customers or potential customers view  your companys profile, theyll most likely also view the profiles of the top executives, like you. The new information about the company you just added on your profile will give a good impression of it and encourage people to do business with you and your company. You can say that youre busy on because you want to find and be found by top talent for your team. Any number of viable reasons  could suffice. Just keep your answer focused on how your activity will be good for the company. Two things to consider: 1. You should obviously avoid posting updates about what kind of position youre seeking, or noting anywhere on your profile that youre looking. Instead, when you uncover a job lead, express your potential value to target companies and your interest through one-on-one InMails or directly through emails. 2. Just like every other executive job seeker, you should be getting involved with Groups and Answers. If youre in an undercover search,  be very careful what you post in discussions there. Obviously, dont let on that youre job hunting or testing the waters. Instead, use Groups and Answers to demonstrate your subject matter expertise and thought leadership, and to stay top of mind with your target employers.

7 Easy Ways to Prepare for Your First Interview - Top Interview Questions - CareerAlley

7 Easy Ways to Prepare for Your First Interview - Top Interview Questions - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done. Buddha Author: Mike Suggs Top interview questions are questions you are likely to be asked by an interviewer. In addition to your other job interview preparation, you should rehearse how you will answer the following questions: 1. Tell Me About Yourself Of all the top interview questions, this one is about as old as the hills and just about as irritating. What are you supposed to say to this? Are you supposed to start at first grade and come all the way forward? Are you supposed to focus on your education, your experiences in business, your goals? After all, you don have all day. Your interview could last less than an hour and this is just one question. The answer is yes, but you do it in such a way as to highlight the important periods in your life that guided you in the direction you are currently pursuing. Where did you come from what kind of environment did you grow up in? What caused you to pursue the field you are in? How did you decide upon your education and how you would receive your training? Has it been fulfilling? Are you looking for bigger challenges? What would you tell your best friend if they asked you this question? Chances are, you could give your friend an excellent, heartfelt, and fairly brief answer. And, thats how you need to do it in your interview. So, practice how you would tell your best friend. 2. Why Do You Want This Job? Simple question, but not so easy to answer. Actually, it is easy to answer if you just take a look at why the job offer attracted your attention in the first place. One would hope that you have some experience and skill in the area that you feel would directly apply to what the company is looking for. Do you? Tell them what you can do and what you know and why you feel it will satisfy what they are looking for. What would you tell your best friend if they asked you this question? 3. What Are Your Strengths? What do you really think they are? Your strengths may have very little to do with your skills. Think of the answer to this question in terms of what you are personally good at that when applied with your skills, makes you the perfect candidate for the job? Maybe a personal strength of yours is that you love to challenge yourself and that level of determination motivates you to never give up on a task until you have nailed it. Ask your best friend what they think your personal strengths are and then think of the benefits an employer would gain when you applied those strengths to the job you are applying for. 4. What Are Your Weaknesses? This is often one of the top interview questions and it comes from psycho-metrics compiled by psychologists for job interviewers. For some reason they sometimes feel its important to try to trip up the applicant or to see if the applicant has a good understanding of themselves. Of course this is ridiculous, but you need to be prepared for as many of these top interview questions as possible. So, do the same thing here as you did with your strengths and be honest with yourself because what you feel is a weakness, may be perceived as a strength by an employer. For example, if you glance over your employment history, you may see that you tend to care a lot about your job and you therefore work harder than required; which may take you away from time you could be devoting to your social life or family. Yes, that could be a negative for you personally, but would an employer necessarily see it that way? Is working hard and caring a weakness or a strength? 5. Where Do You Want To Be In 5 Years? Obviously, the intention here is to see how purposeful your life is. The interviewer wants to accomplish 2 things here. They want to see whether or not you have direction and responsibility in your life and they want to get an idea of how stable you will be as an employee. The company will be making a significant investment in you both in time and in money if they hire you. Will that investment pay off for them? You need to think about this and have a legitimate answer. 6. Why Should I Hire You? Thats for them to answer for themselves, isnt it? But, theres a good chance you will be asked this one because psychologists have determined its a good question and interviewers think its clever to ask it. Plus, other companies they admire ask it, so they are going to ask it too! You should say something like: Because you want somebody who can competently fill the position and who you wont have to baby-sitsomeone who wont be here today and gone tomorrow. 7. Do You Have Any Questions For Me? Believe it or not, its very important for you to have an answer to this question. It will probably be the last of the top interview questions and most job applicants will say No. But think about it. If you were the interviewer and an applicant had a question or two that demonstrated they knew something about your company or about the industry wouldnt you be impressed? The interviewer is expecting you to say No. Surprise them. They have spent hours and hours asking the same top interview questions to maybe dozens of applicants and it will be refreshing for them to do the answering for a change. This will really make you stand out from the others. Your question of them cannot be about you! Do not ask such questions as: When would I get a raise? or What about vacation time? It has to be about them or their Company. Ask something like: Do you feel its possible for us to directly compete with (one of their top competitors)? And then follow that up with: I would definitely like to be a part of that challengeDo you think my position here can play an important role in that? More Tips Sometimes, the interview process is influenced by psycho-metrics, body language and even handwriting analysis. Dont be concerned about it. Just be as relaxed as possible and straightforward with your answers to the top interview questions. Do not fidget, squirm, or have your eyes darting all over the room during the interview. You e not going to be able to talk your way into the job. You and the job position are a good fit or youre not. So, let it go and just be yourself. I know the job interview process can be stressful. Thats why its so important for you to be as armed as possible with tips you can use to build your confidence. After you do well in your first interview, you will often be asked back for a second interview. The good news is that you impressed them enough to get called back! But, it also means you will have to get prepared for a new set of interview questions. You can get helpful tips for your second interview by going here to Second Interview Questions.
