I am in the process of developing my 10 Key Strategies into a multi-media package, and have been doing a lot of interesting research.
I came across this YouTube video from Canada about how to tell if your job is right for you, and what to do if it’s not. The guest makes some very good points…
Enjoy!
Until Midnight on March 19, 2008, you can get my 10 Key Strategies for Career Change eBook for ONE-THIRD OFF.
Here’s where you can grab your copy for 33% off
I’m holding this special sale for 3 reasons:
(1) I wanted to say THANK YOU to all the people who read my newsletters, visit my website and have been followers for a while.
(2) I was in the middle of updating the ebook, making it a multi-media package with several more resources. And, I need feedback from you on what would make it more useful.
(3) (Last but not least) I need to raise some money to defend my 15 year old grandson’s domain name.
Several years ago Gabrielle Parkinson and I wrote an ebook on how to position yourself to successfully change careers. It was based on our experiences helping hundreds of people transition into more fulfilling jobs by focusing on the key strategies needed to make the change.
A few months ago I reviewed the ebook and decided I wanted to update the links and add more resources. I also wanted to include some audio clips from a teleclass I’d held for my own clients on how to use the ebook. Then I started thinking that it would be even more cool to use the teleclass clips to create videos about the process.
But, first things first.
So, here I was in the middle of updating the ebook itself and writing a new resource, when suddenly I receive this notice from WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) of a domain name dispute for my grandson’s domain. I’ve never heard of the person filing the complaint, but he is apparently an up-and-coming radio and TV “personality” who has the same name. He is trying to claim my grandson has no rights to the domain and that it should be turned over to him (the “personality”)!
Well, of course I had to drop everything else I was doing to gather the documentation and respond to the allegations so we could defend the grandson’s rights to his domain! I didn’t want to stop the project, but I have to send in my dispute response by March 19.
I’m trying to stay away from lawyers if I can, but there’s been substantial research required, not to mention the photocopying and courier expense I will incur to send 3 full copies of my response to Switzerland and another full copy to the “personality’s” attorneys.
So, now I need your help…
First, what I’m offering is pretty much the original ebook, with a few minor edits. The basic information is still relevant, but some of the links may no longer work (for instance the company I was writing newsletters for went out of business, so those newsletters no longer exist). I think I took most of the non-working links out, but there may still be a couple lurking in there somewhere.
I need you to read through the ebook and tell me what other resources you think are needed. Then, when I finish the updated version, you will get a copy of that ebook, too.
I really value my customers, so if you have already purchased this ebook, I will be contacting you in a separate email with instructions on how to play along with the rest of us if you’re interested.

Grandson Billy and I Thank You for your help!
P.S. This special one-third off sale ends at midnight on March 19, 2008. That’s the deadline for me to send my response to WIPO in Switzerland. Obviously, until that’s done, I can’t spend any time working on the 10 Key Strategies material – but I’ll get back to it as soon as I can afterwards.
Oh, and even though the experience is rather intense, I’m confident we’ll win. I don’t want to divulge any details at this time since the complaint hasn’t yet been heard by the WIPO panel – but I’ll let you know what happens.
P.P.S. You can use this for yourself, or give it to someone you know who is ready to make a job or career change. You can also forward this blog address to anyone you think may be interested.
By the way, here’s a video of my grandson Billy:

Here’s an interesting article about “Sustainable Happiness”…and why it’s really about our day-to-day activities….

Service takes many different forms. For some, it is an obligation (as in military service). For a few it’s akin to a “higher calling” (as in Mother Teresa’s service to the poor). And for others, it’s a way to give back to their community through involvement in issues that are of importance to them.
The California Conservation Corps is a service organization. It employs 18-25 year olds in a variety of conservation-related projects and provides emergency services in times of floods, earthquakes, fires and other major efforts. The corpsmembers receive education, training and valuable life-skills during their term of service.
The local Fortuna Center CCC is also home to several AmeriCorps programs. Through special partnerships with the CCC, these programs offer the opportunity for over 100 corpsmembers to provide education and assistance within the community while learning valuable skills in their program’s focus area. Programs include conservation, mentoring, emergency services and dental health.
Last Friday, TOOTH AmeriCorps (Teaching Oral Optimism Throughout Humboldt) sponsored a “Give Kids A Smile Day” at the local Humboldt Library in Eureka. After attending on Friday, I happened to see my own dentist, a man who regularly travels within the county to provide assistance for families in a remote, low-income, area of Humboldt county.Â
When I mentioned the TOOTH program, my dentist told me that a fellow dentist in the remote location had expressed his gratitude for the group, saying that they are well prepared and do a much better job of keeping the local dental consortium working than when the dental professionals attempted to do so on their own.
AmeriCorps members commit to approximately 1 year of service at approximately minimum wage. They have health benefits, and the opportunity to receive a scholarship for completing their term of service. Most members have chosen this route as a way to increase their understanding in their educational focus, and/or as a way to contribute to society in general.
There are many ways to be of service.  If you have a desire to provide service, to give back to the community, and have the time to devote, perhaps you might like to look at some of the many AmeriCorps programs that are operating in your area.
Take a look at the fun TOOTH was having in the community just a couple of days ago:
