Have you ever though it impossible to do what you love and get paid? I would enthusiastically tell you that it is indeed possible to find your labor of love and get paid for it! Through using the universal truths I learned from my research of those who had conquered great adversity and came out on top, I offer you the following formula: 6 Steps to the Job you Love

1. Believe it. You must believe that the job you seek is actually possible for you to attain. It is absolutely necessary for you to be brutally honest with yourself. Belief is the concrete foundation from which all of our 'real-life' actions are based. Belief is the critical, yet most forgotten, ingredient that is needed to bring that into our lives which we most seek. Do you actually believe that; 1. you are capable of getting the job-position-career that you seek? 2. that you whole-heartedly deserve the job-position-career that you seek? If your mind even hinted that the answer is no, then it is time to go on an archeological dig, . . . in your mind.

2. Eliminate Career Inhibiting Beliefs. If you answered ‘no’ to the question in the last paragraph, then that means you may be in possession of one or more career inhibiting beliefs. What are those? A career inhibiting belief is a belief or conviction that you may have picked up sometime in your life, through social heredity, that creates an artificial boundary on your capabilities. It is your individual responsibility to dig and unearth these boat anchor convictions that are holding you back. Begin by making a list of what you believe about your talents and your ability to apply them. (There are more details surrounding this process in the Layoffshield book) Have you accepted any convictions, (that were given to you by others, perhaps a relative, or teacher), about your talents that limit you or your ability to achieve? Find them. Once and for all, recognize them for what they are; false.

3. Construct your own career beliefs that permit no boundaries. What would you have to believe about yourself to get where you need to go? Once you have done a full mental inventory, and you have pulled out all of the useless, limiting convictions that your thoughts once hinged upon, it is time to replace those things with convictions that you architect yourself. Again, I would ask, what would you have to believe about yourself to get where you need to go? Using the principles of self-suggestion, repetition, enthusiasm you can effective plant these new convictions in your mind. Identify your learning style and habitize your new career beliefs into your mind! There are more details on how to use this process in the LayoffShield book.

4. Visualize yourself already there. Your mind will attract that which it dwells on. This is the basic 'law of thought' that countless people have utilized to build themselves into successful careers. Direct your energy and intelligence onto imagining the exact and ideal employment situation that you seek. Concentrate daily on your ideal employment, in fact, make it a ritual. Everyday, use your imagination and to see yourself in possession of the exact job and salary you wish to have. Using your mind this way and visualizing the circumstances you desire is powerful! It is powerful because you are commanding your brain to draw upon infinite resources to give you that which you want. Lack of commanding your thoughts occupy the brain with worry and useless facts, so you have nothing to loose! Direct thought action of continually focusing on what you want unlocks the inherent creative powers of the human mind that send you practical ideas that act as the 'stair-steps' you will take toward your ideal job.

5. Create the opportunity. So many people alibi themselves out of success through these words: "I never got the opportunity." Empower yourself by completely placing the success or failure of your career in your own hands. Create opportunities by applying the lesson that was taught in the recent movie, 'Robots', and that is .. "See a need, fill a need." Engage your initiative and act. Dig into your imagination to find ways of getting what you want through concentrating on the problem with a positive focus. If there is no door leading to where you need to go, make one.

6. Never stop. We learn more from our 'failures' than we do from our successes. We can then therefore, use that knowledge to make another attempt, changing the variables slightly. And if we still don't success, we make another attempt, again changing the variables. Persist until you get the results you want! Never stop! Persistence is the physical counterpart of your motive. (You've gotta want it real bad) And, of course persistence is a personality trait that may be attained through practice. Practice then builds into habit. The habit of persistence then becomes the unstoppable juggernaut that will not allow anyone or anything to stand in the way of you and your dreams. Go now and do not stop!
