ARE YOU READY TO MAKE YOUR MOVE?

Considering that you have made it this far, I am going to take it as a resounding “YES!” that you are ready to make your next career move and/or find your next position. As I stated earlier, one of the most important aspects of the job hunt that is often overlooked is the mental aspect. Your perspective and attitude are just as important as how strong your resume is or what you do or do not say in an interview. That said, how can you mentally prepare yourself to make that big career transition or overcome the unemployment blues?

You can begin to shift the way you think and feel by shifting your perspective. Just as I worked with Sue on her Statement of Intent and Daily Declaration, so too can you begin to shift your perspective by creating your own Statement of Intent and Daily Declaration.

These terms may be entirely new to you or you may have heard of something similar in books such as “The Secret” and “Think and Grow Rich” (both of which I highly recommend!). The specific concepts of a Daily Declaration and Statement of Intent are something that I created several years ago.

The first time I used my Daily Declaration and Statement of Intent was when I wanted to make over $100,000 a year. I was a junior recruiter and was in my early 20’s. At the time $100,000 seemed like an insurmountable amount of money to make. I could not have fathomed making that much money in three years, let alone making that amount of money in one year. At that point, I had taken a lot of knowledge from the books I mentioned earlier, as well as from a class that I had taken called Landmark Education, and combined them to come up with the ideas of a Statement of Intent and Daily Declaration.

My first Statement of Intent it was focused solely on money; however, I have since expanded my Statement of Intent to create a wide variety of things, including booking television shows, creating business and much more. The key components to creating an effective Statement of Intent are “WHAT,” that is, what you want to accomplish; “WHEN,” by when you want to accomplish it; and last but most importantly, you must be SPECIFIC! Statements of Intent that are not specific will get you nowhere fast (example: I want a great job). It is also important to use only affirmative and empowering language as discussed earlier. Creating a Statement of Intent will give you an opportunity to take “hope” out of it, replacing words like “hope” and “try” with words such as “create” and “intend.”

An example of what your Statement of Intent could look like would be something like this:

“By December 31, 2013 (WHEN—typically I recommend picking a date three months to one year out so that you have enough time to retrain your brain and to accomplish what you intend), I will have a position paying
