Guest: Marlena Compston & Advice For Your Job Search

Crossover Episode for both The Causey Consulting Podcast and con-sara-cy theories.

I recently watched the documentary Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve. Depressing? Yes. Surprising? Not really. We hear all sorts of outrageous claims from the fat cats who claim they want to protect us.

Y.O.Y.O. - aka: you're on your own

If you still have your head in the clouds that there will be some miracle, some Hail Mary Pass that will save the economy - or maybe some amazing, honest, decent politician will be elected in November and that person will save the day: you better get real clear, real fast that Y.O.Y.O.

Or do you want a "yes man" to tell you that everything you do is perfect? If you're not improving, you're sliding backwards, especially in this economy.

"They took our jobs!" -South Park

According to the IMF, 40 to 60% of jobs could disappear globally due to the influx of AI. But hey - I'm sure that's nothing to worry about. *sarcasm*

Making the decision to sell or close a business is a big one. Likewise, if you've been freelancing professionally, it's a big decision to close the operation and go back to a full-time 8 to 5 job.

➡️ Is the whole business in shambles? Or are there particular aspects that can be changed in order to make things better?

➡️ Are you relying on freelancing websites and, by extension, nightmare clients?

➡️ We live in an age of constant screens and distractions. Take the time to get still and quiet and figure out what you really want.

I recently read Why England Slept  and it sounds like it could be a playbook for how the public is led into conflicts, changes, social engineering, etc.

There are plenty of articles about backstabbing coworkers, office gossips, and nightmare bosses. But what happens if we as business owners or professional freelancers onboard a client  who turns out to be a backstabber or a giant gossip? What then?

My experience with "Billy" the Backstabber taught me some important lessons.

What's your why? Why are you doing what you are doing? If you are thinking about starting a business - or you already have - why? Why did you choose that specific line of work? If you don't have the answers, you may not make it.

Some commentators and fat cats have admitted that inflation is permanent. So if you are counting on a magical politician to save the day and bring back 2018-2019 prices... you're probably not gonna make it.

One common question I receive from coaching or advisory clients is: how do you know a business is doomed to fail?

Key topics:

✔️ Ownership sets the tone. If you are lazy yet you expect your employees to work hard, you are: a) a terrible boss and b) probably not gonna make it.
✔️ Does rejection crush your entire soul? Do you fly off the handle in a rage or burst into tears at the slightest rebuff?
✔️ Do you need the money or are you a spoiled housecat who won't even bother to catch a mouse?
 ✔️ If you don't believe in yourself and believe in what you're doing, no one else will either.
