A Tool for CAREER Re -Education! Why were we not taught this in school?? .. no need to read the blather below, go straight to the experts above. Then start thinking how you could CHARGE people $$ for your expertise. And living in an "OLD FOLKS HOME!!" I see tons of places you could be paid .. even just being nice to lonely old people! That is NOT taking advantage. That is providing a service MORE valuable than the money they have. They are the entitled, with a RETIREMENT income .. yet they feel sad and alone and bored. Teach them to google, then come and discuss what they learned! There are tons of Boomers that need you! .. (and some of us are just happy to pay back what we "stole" from you.)
While you work with the amazing 60 page "Your RESOURCES" PDF above, I will better organize and begin to edit my websites. But for you to get ANY help here .. you must FIRST OPEN YOUR MIND TO NEW IDEAS! We have become simple, search shallow, closed minded Zombies! We take in no new real KNOWLEDGE, because we now seek only INSTANT INFORMATION! A "fact" is probably not TRUTH. Maybe knowledge is trying to find a Truth? (But our school pretty much just asked us to memorize what they said.) The questions about who you are YOU, in the PDF above .. take time to contemplate, but the answers very much worth it. Investigate who you are and someone will need your skill! .. because they are missing that personal ASSET which they NEED.
Consider this incomplete site like a Book or (Manual?) .. kind of a FORMULA for us to get through this mess? But the Internet makes this "Book" amazing!! .. because I can share it with you BEFORE it is ready to "publish"! AND!! .. I can easily link to all kinds of expertise .. we aggregate HUMAN Intelligence! .. not A I. Please forgive the web site mess .. just take whatever can help you. It would be awesome to finally help someone.
I have collected these ideas/ rants for decades and had no idea ORGANIZING them BRIEFLY and CONCISELY was sooooo hard! Our "Book" (Manual?) will be a work in progress .. that I believe can be useful even before completed. ( I do like 6 jobs in this "System innovation" endeavour, none of which I have a clue how to do. So please be patient.) 18 years of "education" to only now at the end of life .. find out what my skill is ( or NOT)? Strange "education" system we have created.
My Formula with the "BREATHE" section below, will also be helpful to you, even imperfect. (see further down below). Do not let my non professional web skills throw you off. And Go Daddy site design limitations (web boxes allowing only x words) are bad! Don't let this prototype version throw off your seeing value in the ideas! There is "old lady wisdom" here, that I want to share with you NOW, when so many most need it. (And this old lady thinks you should start Civil WAR with those ENTITLED Boomers who say that my kids should just get a job .. like they did. What oblivious complete Idiots!) Jobs are gone! Plus who even wants to BEG for one anymore, over and over and over!
If I stay too proud? or embarrassed to give you this .. you will lose this TIME AVAILABLE. You will lose the OPPORTUNITY NOW to discover new CHOICES and CONTROL for your own success. Good luck! Together we CAN do this!
We have so many Resources available, but school forgot to teach this! We are NOT trapped into begging forever for a fleeting "job". We really can create our own Rent money.. but "they" forgot to teach us that. After working through the HUGE RE Education assignment (in the "ASSESSING YOU" pdf above), we then need to learn how to "sell" ourselves like a Business. Instead of another disrespected worker, we become a (Self Employed) INDEPENDENT Manager of self! No more begging .. "Please sir .. I need to eat! Please could you "give" me a job!". NO!! NO MORE OF THAT NONSENSE. We are taking back control over our lives!
Even our Liabilities (our undesirable characteristics) can make us money!! My Liability, (THINKING TOO MUCH .. that which makes people hate on me .. as in always being a worrier), could have made me money! "Worrying" is seeing problems before they happened. Added to my love of Architecture and Design it could have created my income doing what I love! My Liability .. worrying, would have made me a perfect "Consultant" for Developer's designing their buildings. Great "education" we got. My ability to see problems that others miss, could have saved decades of building inconveniences, living in flawed floor plans that I regularly see. Thanks a lot "Education" System for 18 wasted years! I should have been a valuable ASSET to Developers etc, instead of feeling bad that I always saw mistakes and problems everywhere. Instead of turning my liability into an Asset for income, I tried to be many things I was terrible at! You though, now can see many assets, skills, talents, and expertise areas to create income with. But also look at Liabilities because my goal is to magically turn more of our Liabilities into ASSETS! WE live in a culture of WASTE!
Since I am old .. you can learn from all my failures .. and skip right to the SUCCESS PART! I was a Teacher and my best class was Bachelor Survival .. which was really "LIFE Resource Management"! Shortly thereafter (Home ECONOMICS) was removed from the curriculum. What? Were we getting too smart at handling our lives? This "Assessing You" PDF is what we should have spent YEARS working on! GETTING TO REALLY KNOW OURSELVES! This valuable ASSIGNMENT will take weeks of investigating and contemplating YOU. It replaces what I WISH I had learned instead of 18 years of memorized "education". Investigating how we can PERSONALLY best CONTRIBUTE to our community, has far more value!
PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO PAGE 20
Are you "a Thinker" or are you "a Doer" .. an ACTION mind? .. or like to think cause, or consequence? My Hypothesis is that there is a spectrum between the 2 types of people .. but extreme opposites will not get along or truly succeed. If you are a Thinker, beware unless you can be compassionate with a less thinking fast DOER. I am jealous of their simple "get er done" ability! And I drive them crazy being slow and deliberate. Like the Turtle and the Hare! Today those few balanced minds left .. who can think consequences, and only then decide and ACT too, are the Leaders and true Entrepreneurs.
Wars could be prevented with this knowledge, if we could only learn compassion for the opposite "Brain Wiring" side. (link later). We used to be more balanced in having BOTH Thinking and Acting brain wiring before toxic "progress" fried our brain wiring. ("24/7 ON" Stress also makes idea simplification a coping tool for survival.) Being a Leader or Entrepreneur requires this think/ act balance, or we must find an opposite wiring (Biz) Partner. To solve our LOOMING economic collapse, we will HAVE TO work together, sharing/ TRADING, our skills and expertise. No time for "enemy divisions" .. our ship is sinking and we must ALL BAIL TOGETHER!
PS .. re Career Planning .. think "Career" as a way to make your own PERSONAL INDEPENDENT INCOME .. not an outside controlled "job" to beg for. You were never taught how, but we can do this now! Together .. trading ideas!
