Marketing Consultant Back in Someone Elses Boat

Marketing Consultant Back in Someone Elses BoatMarketing Consultant Back in Someone Elses BoatFreelance marketing consultant Scot French enjoyed being his own boss, but wanted to work for a large organization again.Scot French liked the perks of working as a freelance marketing consultant. He worked with nearly half-a-dozen startup technology companies in two years and enjoyed the flexibility and variety of working for multiple clients.I was able to have a lot of different experiences, he said. Focusing on one job can make work redundant or repetitious. Freelancing made work interesting and exciting. And the autonomy and flexibility was great. It allowed me to spend more time with my kids and coach their kollektivs.He also found monetary success, he said. But the honeymoon soon faded. French, who lives in Seattle and had previous in-house experience as a marketing manager at interactive companies, found that work was taking more of his time. While he was free to leave the office duri ng the day, often hed be back at his desk that night. And, he said, one of the things I wrestled with as an independent contractor was whether the world needed one more marketing-services organization.He also yearned to be back in the boat, as he called it. Collaborating with other members of a single team, helping to guide that boat, being a part of that success, French said, was ultimately more important to him than being autonomous. What it came down to was that I have always wanted to be a part of a team that was building something. And thats the biggest thing that was missing, and thats what pulled me back to a full-time job.So last summer, French decided that if the right opportunity came along, he would go back to work with an employer.While French was mulling strategies that would help him transition back to a full-time job, opportunity knocked on his door. One of his clients told him about a new company, Mpire, an advertising optimization technology company that sells to ag encies and advertisers and needed someone to do its marketing. He told me I should get to know this company, French recalled. He said they were doing some interesting stuff, and Id be perfect for them.Many of his previous clients were also Mpire clients. So he agreed and accepted a job at Mpire in November. It was an opportunity to get into a company that I like in a market that I am excited about, he said. I am using my ability to hone in and focus and see if I can build this company.French said that anyone looking to make the transition from independent contractor to full-time employee needs to keep an open mind when considering opportunities. You are never sure where great opportunities will come from. And then do your due diligence. Make sure this is the move you want to make.But even if youre ready to give up on being your own boss, do the best work you can for the clients you have. Your reputation is on the line, French said. Its so key, he said. Thats what will bring you oppo rtunities.

How a Google expert manages his Gmail email account

How a Google expert manages his Gmail email accountHow a Google expert manages his Gmail email accountThere isnt just one way to manage yur inbox, and if youre anything like me, theres probably room for improvement on that front. Lots of room and yet elend a lot of space (hello, way too many unread emails).So I knew I could learn a thing or two from JR Raphael, the technology journalist who is frequently found covering all things Google and Android for Fast Company and Computerworld. He publishes the weekly Android Intelligence newsletter offering a goldmine of recommendations and practical tips.JR graciously provided a peep inside his systematized inbox for an interview with The Gmail Genius. Some highlights from the exchange follow.When you open an email, dont just let it sit thereWhile giving a rundown of his daily email routing, JR noted, My golden rule is to never open an email twice and never leave an item in my inbox beyond a single day.Im by no means perfect about that, but i ts what I strive to achieve.He says he tries to only have his inbox open for an hour or two in the morning, a quick block after lunch, and another one in the late afternoon. He also admitted to one final inbox session before the end of the night.My goal each time- whenever I look at my inbox, really- is to process everything thats there. That doesnt necessarily mean I answer every email right away, he said. Instead, he suggests taking one of three actions within a few seconds of looking at a messageArchive it - if the message doesnt require any response or action.Respond to it - especially if I can do so in a minute or less. (And then archive it.)Snooze it - if it demands a level of thought or response I cant get to right away. I might snooze it for later that day, later that week, or a month down the road, depending on when I think Ill be in a good position to deal with it.Super-specific alerts can helpJR acknowledges that email notifications are the enemy of productivity. But i n some cases, alerts can be useful - and even provide peace of mind.Most of us receive at least some messages that truly do demand our immediate attention, even if theyre a tiny fraction of the total, he wrote in his Computerworld column. But with a teensy bit of custom-tuning, you can set things up so that your most urgent incoming messages will alert you - and everything else will wait politely in your inbox without screaming for instant scrutiny. In the article, he describes how to set up a filter in Gmail and then configure it your Android device to only notify you about the messages sent to that label.Bet you didnt know you can alter the snooze timeNotification customizations are only the tip of the iceberg. Taking the time to modify Gmails features according to your own rhythms and preferences is key to exerting control over your inbox - and not letting it control you.Another helpful - and highly underutilized - setting to adjust is the default snooze time for a message. You wouldnt know it by looking anywhere in Gmail itself, but you can actually customize the specific time of day each vorkaufsrecht uses, JR said.He explainsOpen up Google Keep and click the Settings option in its left-hand menu. See the section labeled Customize your reminder defaults, with choices for morning, afternoon, and evening? Change those times to whatever times you prefer.If you want messages you snooze for Tomorrow to show up at 10 a.m., for instance, set that as your morning time. If you want emails snoozed for Later today to show up at 5 p.m., 6 p.m., or 1147 p.m., set your evening time accordingly.Once you hit save, youll see Gmail start to use those new times within its default snooze suggestions.Helpful, right?For additional next-level tips, definitely take a look at how you can customize these little-known Gmail settings. Tinker to your hearts content, but whatever you do, stop organizing your inbox into folders. Ill leave you with JRs wise words on that, As a wise virtual princess once said, let it go. Stop worrying about organizing all of your incoming email and just power through it. Then, when you need to find something in the future, search.When shes not interviewing people about their email habits,Jaclyn Schiffis a strategist who loves getting her feet wet at the intersection of media, partnerships,and content.

It was a special time Ill never forget.In this vein, I urge you to develop an inspirational routine each morning. It may come through the power of meditation, prayer, genuine heartfelt interaction with those that you love or from your favorite song. It could be a video that plays back the piano recital you played to perfection that brought the house down.It may be the words of this article or a book you find so profound and hold in such high esteem, you get the chills before opening the pages.Develop your routine. Ill show you what works for me and how you can integrate this into your life. Here we goHeres How to Develop YourRoutineGreat are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force?- ?that thoughts rule the world.?- ?Ralph WaldoEmersonMake your routine an everyday thing. As Ive climbed the mountain of productivity over the past several years, I realize that I never want to come down. Th e ascension?- ?the journey?- ?has been a magical ride and it reassures me that all of my progress toward self-actualization, as well as greater harmony and rhythm in living the life of my destiny, has been worth the pain and occasional doubts.Dedicate 10 minutes of contemplation time, ideally, at the beginning of each day. This sets the tone for your day and gets you feeling inspired.Use this time alone in solitude, in a quiet place. Focus your thoughts on positive, stimulative thoughts such as romantic love, sexual love for a partner, girlfriend/boyfriend, wife or husband. Also, music, friendship and envisioning yourself attaining success or fame. Theres tremendous power that comes through dreaming and seeing yourself standing in the winners circle.Get these positive thoughts going and keep them going. Write down these thoughts that come to mind. Keep referring back to them throughout your work day or school day. Think of them when youre out in the social world, during moments of d ifficulty or times of joy. Look at them again before you go to bed at night and reset your mind. Then rest and get read for the new day with excitement, anticipation and a clear mind for fresh, new thoughts.Get up, walk around and revitalize your spirits No matter how hard youre willing to work or how disciplined you are, you will find that you need to recharge and reboot. The best way to do this is to change your setting by changing your perspective. Clear your mind, go run a quick errand, take a brief walk. Then, think about how excited you are to start again.Have high expectations for results, but make sure that your expectations match your attitude and effort. Trust me?- ?this one is last for a reason. To avoid disappointment and letdowns (the exact opposite of sustaining inspiration), dont expect great things if youre not willing to put in the time. Invest your time wisely. Focus, act with confidence and eliminate distractions. This is how you build momentumA Story ToTellAny id ea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.?- ?NapoleonHillThis is a story I know well. Its the story of my best friend, my brother, Kevin. These days my brother is seen on national television five nights each week on ESPN. Hes a broadcast journalist and celebrity in his own right. Everything he has can be attributed to his natural talents, perseverance, desire, and faith in himself.Kevin worked hard until he reached the pinnacle of his profession. He reached the top because he envisioned himself reaching the top. He dreamed big and thought prodigious, stimulative thoughts. He had the mindset of a winner. But keep in mind, Kevins success did not come overnight.Kevin knew when he was in 8th grade what he wanted to do with his life. He started announcing sports scores over the intercom at our middle school. He did the same thing while in high school. Kevin used his basketball-playing ability to earn an athletic scholarship at the college level, where he attended a school with one of the top Radio TV programs in the United States.After graduation, he embarked on what is now a nearly 20-year career in sports broadcasting. He busted his tail for nine long years at a dezentral television station making meager money. There were moments of doubt, frustration and at times, loneliness. Kevin dreamed of being on national television or working in a big market. But it seemed so far away.He concentrated on getting better each day. He surrounded himself with inspiring thoughts, stories and images of fellow broadcasters who made the big time, as well powerful stories of athletes. He kept going. Kept believing.Finally, his big break came in 2006 when he accepted a job with WCBS radio in New York. Less than one year later, he was working on television for WCBS-TV. And in 2008, he reached the big time he was hired by ESPN. 11 years after graduating college, with a few lean years in between where he thought about quitting or changing professions , Kevin received an offer to work at the worldwide leader of sports.Your JourneyChances are, you will not find success or personal fulfillment in your first job. Few people are blessed with both the talent and foresight to know precisely what they want to do with their lives right after college. Even less people know and possess this ability at a young age. My brother, Kevin, is one of those precious few lads who did know.We all have unique stories to share with the world. Where are you on your journey? Are you going through thedoldrums of doubt and fear? Do you see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel?- ?the end-vision of your goal? And if you do, are you running into road blocks of creativity? What are your mental challenges? What are your emotional battles?Perhaps your path is as open as the Pacific Coast Highway at sunset in Laguna Beach. Maybe its a Midtown Manhattan traffic jam. Its all a state of mind. We need inspiration to help us create the beautiful landscapes of limitless possibility in our mind that serve as the foundation for our magical journeys.You are the creator of your world. When you are safe in the knowledge that you control your worldly destiny, nothing will ever stop you. Those with a winning mindset are never denied. They inspire themselves to achieve great things.Ive got a long, long way to go. Chances are, so do you. The way to cultivate and build momentum?- ?which you can then transform into empowered thought and constructive action is through inspiration?- ?the power of fire that lifts your spirit and brings you unbridled enthusiasm. Be inspired every day.What has become truer for me by the day is the concept that we control our own destiny through the power of our thoughts. We emotionalize our ideas with the power of love, faith and hope. We take these thoughts and envision ourselves doing what we desire. And we put it into a plan and take the action that weve dreamed of. It really is that simple. Do this and you will neve r be denied.There is no shame in any idea, as long as you believe in it and feel it will add value to your life and the lives of others. Dont concern yourself with the ingenuity of your idea. Your race, your cause is the one that speaks to the desires and dreams of your heart. Thats what makes you unique and special.Be inspired.

A groomer can open their own salon, or become an independ ent contractor within an established salon, with a fairly reasonable investment of funds for basic equipment and advertising.

Related Articles Around the Web Audible, Inc One of the biggest challenges in almost all industries today is achieving gender parity. Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bure au of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 1000000 construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel neuerung/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The ind ustry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a l eadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentierung technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a u nique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
