Always New York Style can you speak to impatience i would love to speak to impatience
this is uh going to go back to uh to williams uh question as well and i know it's kind of a
broad little question there this is how i live my life uh i said this yesterday last night as
i was interviewing a company that i wanted to enlist to help me build out the milewalk academy
in one of the facets and i said to this woman and i'm gonna say it to you always new york style
that i want you to be very very impatient with your actions
and i want you to be very very patient with your results so what do i mean by that so
when i'm setting something up and i'm going to offer my job search boot camp out to you for the
very first time i don't want to wait three years to spec everything out and blueprint everything
and and be you know it's got to be perfect that perfectionism uh approach and attitude which is
basically code for i'll never get anything done my view is i'm impatient with getting it moving
or at a minimum taking my first step to make progress it doesn't have to be perfect when
i put my first video out it was shortly after i committed to being a trainer in this format
guess how bad that video is right i was impatient let's get it out i can always scale version one
so take the first step whatever the first step is so for my boot camp i say okay i'm gonna be
impatient i'm gonna develop an awesome thing but i'm not going to i'm not going to take twice the
amount of time to make it 10 better i'm going to do 90 i'm going to get it out into the world and
i'm going to start working it i'm going to sell it but when the results come in is okay well how
many people are enrolling and are you able to help them at the deepest level which is ultimately what
you want to do and as a business owner you need to make money otherwise you're going to go broke
if you spend 90 minutes a week every week all year long with people and giving them free advice
so the first out of the first course and it wasn't the boot camp it was it was another a large career
course um we sold a bunch but not anywhere near what i'd hoped so i could have been impatient with
the results and then thrown the towel in and then tried something else but i didn't i was impatient
with the action i got it moving that's a good thing i'm saying that's a positive thing and then
i made sure that i continued to improve it and the results got better and the one thing that i know
and i want to say this about all of you because i know a lot of you are going through this and
i hope this inspires you and i said this is what i might have said this to both people yesterday that
i coached there is nothing wrong with you okay you are totally whole you do not need to go out
and grab eight certifications you do not need to go and get an mba from wherever or an ms or even
a college degree if you don't want to okay you are just great and there are employers that are
here in this world that would be falling all over themselves to hire you what we tend to do as a job
seeker though is we think there's something wrong with the product because no one's buying it okay
when i would say to you there's nothing wrong with your product there might be everything wrong with
your marketing of your product okay so are you actually marketing yourself consistently are you
actually doing my job search challenge which and if you don't know what the job search challenge is
that's free you can head over the milewalk academy and check that out but it is a way
to get you consistent in reaching out to people which is true job searching yes you do need to
have great marketing collateral guess what i got a free workshop you can come to and we'll help you
build your resume but the one thing that i do not want you to do is go spend a lot of time trying to
change this okay you don't need to change don't worry about if employers aren't calling you back
that's not the right employer for you or look at it as a data point to say hey maybe my marketing
is not good maybe my cover letter isn't good maybe i'm just not calling enough people guess what
i don't know how many people there's a couple hundred people on here already i don't know
what the whole number is across two you will buy something two maybe six right i'm focused on those
people right then once they jump in it's the same kind of thing for you you just need one employer
okay so impatience i would say this in relation to your job searching get moving draft the cover
letters i give them to you for free write draft the resume we're going to be doing it over the
next couple of weeks right i give it to you for free send it out go to the job search challenge i
teach you how to send it out for free okay so like get moving it doesn't have to be perfect okay job
search challenge calls for 15 send outs of your messaging covers resume networking messages a week
in two weeks that's 30 people that you've reached out to you're going to get pretty good pretty fast
okay so so that's what i would say to impatience i really i really think um you're all better suited
focusing on your marketing and not trying to change you if you want to improve self-help
and all that i'm all great with that okay so um so that's what i that's what i think about that
you
