How To Write A Resume That Stays At The Top Of The Pile!
Here's something to think about!One internet source says that employers spend, on average, only 10-15 seconds on each resume and that 82-94% of applicants get rejected at CV stage.So, we (as interviewers) timed ourselves. We spent, on average, 80 seconds on each resume before making an initial decision - Yes or No.Generally we interview no more than 6 people for any one position. Based on the average number of resumes we receive, that's an 80-90% reject

I was talking to a friend of mine who had invested in a very high end coaching program last year. As I was asking him about his experience and what incentivized him to invest in his growth he said, 'I knew if I really wanted to take my game to a whole new level, I had to do things VERY differently. Even though the coaching was good, it was surrounding myself with 8 other people that were challenging ME to play the game full-out that was the payoff.' This is a guy who consistently generates a high six to seven figure income each year.

It got me thinking about how I played my game in 2006. I already surround myself with people playing a bigger game every year. I have a mastermind group who constantly challenges me to think bigger. But what specifically did I do that helped me double my income this year, get asked to speak at multiple conferences and produce three new programs?

Here are my 'Ten Insights to Playing a Bigger Game'

1. Be ruthless with your time.
Whenever I'm coaching a client or giving an interview, people ask me my secret to accomplishing so much. It's ruthless time management. I only say yes to things that align with my goals, values and high payoff activities. It may sound harsh but it's what works. Two opportunities I said no to that were hard but lightened my load: letting go of running the networking group in Los Angeles and turning down an all expense paid trip to Australia. Both generated revenue - but neither aligned with my 'criteria' for success.

2. Focus on what you DO want.
I've manifested everything from a dream trip to Europe to attracting speaking opportunities and powerful marketing alliances. It wasn't always that way. Years ago I would ruminate about what I didn't want. I use a few tools to keep my brain power focused on what I want more of. I have a written business and marketing plan, well-defined goals and I even have a vision board in my office. Earlier this year I added a 5 Series metallic grey BMW to the board. It's the same one that I drove into my garage right before Xmas. When you focus on what you want more of (instead of the problems, obstacles and challenges) it's amazing all of the good things that will show up in your life.

3. Surround yourself with people who are playing a bigger game than you.
There is a saying, 'Your income is the average of the five people you are surrounded by.' If you stay in your comfort zone, your revenue and results will stay there too. Invest in mentors, programs, and seminars that will give you access to people playing a bigger game. Even one idea that comes from someone with a different mindset can pay off in spades. Every time I hang out with people whose game is bigger than mine I leave with a golden nugget - and it's paid off in the thousands!

Medical Billing - Hiring A QA Tester
In our last installment of medical billing, we looked at what was involved as far as the software company hiring a programmer to create their software that will eventually be sold to the public. But programmers aren't enough because the software needs to be tested. The truth is, programmers make lousy testers because they are biased. That's why the software company needs to hire QA testers to make sure the software works as it should. So what should a medical billing company look for when hiring a QA teste

The One Best Step to Mazimize Your Disaster Plan
There are as many ways to write an after action report as there are hospitals that are now required to perform disaster drills and write after action reports analyzing the performance of the institution following a disaster or a disaster exercise. Since there are 5,756 licensed hospitals in the United States, there are 5,756 different ways that are currently employed to write the after action review. At most institutions, after action reviews are written by a committee between 12 and 18 individuals, managers

Promoting Your Home Business Offline
Most people are aware of the typical online promotional techniques home business owners have marketed through such as banners, link exchanges, different search engines, newsletters, forums, and the like. However, a good home based business must also consider offline promotion strategies as well and how to use them in order to generate more business.Remember, that simply because your business is online does not mean you are restricted to simply advertising online. Promoting offline gives you opportunitie

Customer Service Metrics - Tracking What Your Customers Are Saying
Your business is booming! You are making money hand over fist and your bank is sending you love letters. Your investors are crawling over each other to tell give you more money. Everything is going great then, seemingly out of the blue, you are blindsided. A faulty product, a bad employee, an overeager salesman; any one of these is enough to suddenly turn feast into famine. However, chances are you have an Early Warning System in place that could have helped you avert catastrophe: your Customer Service departm

4. Take BIG risks.
One attribute that separates strugglers from the outrageously successful is the willingness to take big risks. Not just any risks though - calculated risks! These are the risks that you have to say 'Oh boy, here I go' and take a BIG GULP! I call it the scary factor. If it's not scary, you are probably aren't playing big enough - just like your income. I've taken my share of big risks this year. Some paid off, some didn't. But the ones that do far outweigh the ones that don't.

5. Dump what doesn't work (quickly)
Sometimes things just don't work out. I learned this year that if not's fun, isn't profitable or is taking up 80% of my time (instead of 20%) then its time to make space for something better. I dumped a lot of things that didn't work well enough this year. My insight: make the decision quicker. It costs me my sanity, money, resource time and lots of missed opportunities to hang on to something that doesn't work. Trust your instincts and always let go of a great idea that isn't panning out. It's like a dead leaf on a house plant - it keeps taking nutrients and energy but doesn't produce.

There's YOUR reality...trying to find a copywriting job and paying your bills and refining your portfolio... but guess what, there's also the dreaded advertising agency reality. And the sooner you come to at least begin to understand it, the far better your chances will, be.

Sometimes the changes in our career direction are so subtle and gradual that we fail to notice them. But the earlier you see that you’re headed in the wrong direction, the easier it is to get yourself back on course, or adjust course, if necessary.

After sales is just as much about the customer as it is about the product. Making a sale is not the end, it is just the beginning.
