A recent survey of 2,000 Americans, directed by OnePoll for cannabis telemedicine and conveyance platform Nugg, found that our most regular anxieties are ones that we can't really control, recommending that huge numbers of us are on edge fussbudgets that get focused when our days don't go precisely our way.Most normal burdens individuals face every day Your PC/PC freezing - 48% Slow Wi-Fi - 45% Shouting kids - 38% Losing your wallet - 37% Traffic - 35% Being late for something - 35% Losing your telephone - 35% Irritating collaborators - 33% Being waiting with client care - 33% Impolite server - 28% Boisterous neighbors - 28% Holding up at the specialist's office - 27% Open vehicle delays - 27% Slow drivers - 26% At the point when individuals let their youngsters get out of hand openly - 25% Individuals dropping on you - 24% Overlooking your secret key - 24% Dropping on someone - 22% Individuals talking in the motion pictures - 21% Need to utilize an open washroom yet can't discover one - 19% Conveyance getting your request wrong - 19% Chancing upon an ex - 19% Simply missing your train/transport - 17% Someone in the washroom when you should be - 17% Checking your ledger - 17% Being in a group - 17% Paying rent - 16% Slow walkers - 16% Messaging an inappropriate individual something about them - 14% Sunday night before the following seven day stretch of work - 14% Somebody attempting to get in the washroom you're in - 14% Air terminals - 13% Not recollecting somebody's name you just met - 12% Facebook - 11% Chancing upon an old colleague - 10% Going shopping for food - 9% Realizing you're excessively tanked - 7% Attempting to get an additional beverage before party time closes however can't discover server - 5% Holding open the entryway for someone - 5% Cyclists - 5% Ensure you spare your work.

5 Problems With Teaching People How To Fish

5 Problems with Teaching People How to Fish Fishing by Christopher Irwin of Flickr   As the new administration decides where to make cuts and where to allocate funding, heated debates continue on both sides of the political spectrum. Don’t worry, as usual, this post is not political. (I personally find that many of the issues that need a resolution would be better served if politics were left out of those said issues.) I am much more interested in co-creating meaningful solutions to significant problems than I am finding more ways to separate myself from my fellow citizens. The intention of this post is to open a discussion on what is a popular approach to alleviating many of society’s woes, teaching people to fish. I do not mean literally. Though, I know from watching all the shows about Alaska and people living off of the grid that survival literally means catching fish for some. I am talking about proverbial fish, your ability to take care yourself and your family. I really do not want to discuss whether people need government handouts, whether they abuse them, and who loses when that happens.   Let’s just focus on the real challenges and viable solutions to helping people become self-reliant and empowered in their own survival, and then we can eventually move on to happiness. Someone in my Facebook community was pleading with people to stop complaining about this healthcare issue, and to just go get a better job that pays better benefits. Raise your hand if you think this is so easy. (I imagine many, if not most, hands raised.) Raise your hand if you happen to love your work, feel you have found your calling, and can now not imagine doing anything else. (I imagine very few hands are raised, but those that are belong to people who would be doing a disservice to the world to get a new job simply because it has better benefits.)   Some people have careers that just are not associated with great benefits and high paychecks, like social service and teaching.   These people know how to fish in that they have jobs, their jobs are necessary, and for the most part they work hard in spite of not being paid as well as other equally valuable professions.   Possible self-managed solution: Supplemental income, aka the “side hustle”   Yes, this would require people to invest time outside of their already full-time jobs.   This means potentially they would have to take time away from their families. If these income-producing activities, however, were related to interests, hobbies, or causes that were already important to them, carving out time would feel less like a sacrifice and more like an investment. Then it is really just a matter of making sure that these activities actually produce income, which usually means finding the right teacher and/or system. Some, but not all of these activities may require an upfront investment.   Examples include home-based administrative services, real estate investing (bird-dogging and wholesaling require no up front money, and where I live there is an organization that has monthly meetings where you can get educated and find a mentor for FREE!), fitness coach, selling crafts, beauty products, clothes, hand bags, wine, and most anything else you can imagine. I have walked this walk, and can tell you that while many of these opportunities preach being able to make a good amount in a little bit of time, it takes a significant investment of time to get your systems up and running, and investing money in tools or training can accelerate the income production lifecycle, but it is not necessary.   With the evolution from an industrial age to an information age, some professions will die, and if the hubs of those professions do not move into the new age swiftly enough, large employers fail to create new jobs for people dependent on those jobs.   Possible self-managed solution: Online training and remote work In many counties in many states there are programs that will fully or partially cover training for people who qualify. Qualifying usually just means that you have a basic level of intelligence and aptitude to learn the new skills and that you are willing to fill out paper work, attend meetings, and find or pick the appropriate institution. What if the government cuts these programs? We are lucky enough to live in the age of crowdfunding. I have walked this walk, too. I raised $5K to build a prototype for a job search mobile game. 25 people in my inner circle and 51 complete strangers helped me fund this project. It took a concerted effort, but I was truly humbled and very pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of support. As long as there is a need for that skill, be it a trade or a professional skill, then the challenge that potentially remains is the next one.   There is a reason I’ve been business for over ten years, and for that same reason my mentors have been doing this twice as long. Not everyone is an effective writer, and even if you are an effective writer, when the subject matter is yourself, it is very challenging to understand how you could make yourself look good to the people who you feel have your fate in their hands.   Furthermore, résumés have a lot of rules and are meant to be very concise. Writing using short business speak is a whole different skill set compared to writing long form for comprehension. What separates the best résumé writers in the world from the rest is the ability to concisely, clearly, and powerfully convey what makes a person unique â€" the softer qualities, but in hard business terms.   Possible self-managed solution: Self-teaching Assuming you do not have the resources to invest in engaging a professional like myself who can create master-crafted tools for you, which will run you up to four figures if you include a LinkedIn profile, there are plenty of resources out there that will teach you how to craft your own branded content. We have the best: https://epiccareering.com/diy-content-builder/ There are plenty of FREE guides, as well, but I can only stand behind my own. Yes, YouTube is a great free DIY resource, just be wary of the advice you take. You can trust our channel, which has had over 45,000 views and is chock full of free trainings on cover letters, networking, résumés, and more. We also have some great motivational playlists.   Having effective tools like branded résumés and LinkedIn profiles are great, if they are seen, but the statistics are against being able to be found, seen and considered when you apply for jobs online. That leaves a big “what then?” question. Then, once you are being considered by a company, you have to know how to keep yourself at the front of a pack you cannot even see to secure an offer, and then negotiate an offer that works with your lifestyle so that you can actually sustain your life.   Possible self-managed solution: The Dream Job Breakthrough System You can actually get the DIY tools above PLUS training in the activities that get the best results, forming good habits around those activities, interviewing to get the offer, and negotiating the optimal offer as a partner to your employer, PLUS many other bonuses by investing just $151 more. If that is still outside of your means, our previous posts below do not give you all of our tricks and tips, but they should give you some really great techniques to get your JoMo (Job Momentum) kickstarted. Feel free to explore the 140+ LinkedIn posts and blog posts available on a wide range of subjects. Plans A Through D for Getting Noticed by Employers Pro Hacks to Get In Front of Your Future Boss 2 Common Networking Mistakes and a Formula to Train Your Network to Be a Job Lead Generation Army   We have written many blog posts about how fundamental beliefs can go completely unnoticed as they make decisions for us that limit our future. I agree with Marisa Peer’s assertion that the major reason and cause of suffering worldwide is actually the easy to form, hard to break (without hypnosis) belief that you are not enough. Additionally, our meaning-making brains translate criticism very harshly. We can absolutely be our own worst enemy. If you cannot relate, then it would be hard for you to understand how the effort to change can seem futile, as though destiny shunned you and you are bound to fail, not matter what, so why try. You are lucky that you do not have to contend with such self-deprecating thoughts. Positive thinking has failed many people who have tried. That is because the thoughts are just a symptom of a belief system that can be reversed, but not without tricks and a regimen. I continue to unravel a lifetime of self-limiting beliefs, so that I can allow myself to accept a better position in life. It has taken many teachers, tools, and tricks. It has meant constantly, as in several times daily, checking in on my mindfulness state, interrupting bad patterns and replacing them with better ones. I have invested tens of thousands of dollars, and I will continue to make this investment until I stop breathing. I love learning new hacks for success and wholeness, and I love teaching them to you. I find this world fascinating, and my coaching effectiveness has evolved exponentially because of what I have discovered. However, I had to understand the science behind it before I could find a credible means of change, and that took significant time and research.   Possible self-managed solution: Daily personal development/self-help Some people have claimed that hypnosis was a cure-all for them, but that does cost money, and what if it doesn’t work for you? At least once a day, feed yourself awareness of your greater potential. First, read The Miracle Morning, as it will help you understand the benefits and overcome some of the challenges of making self-care a priority every day. I can also point you to Mel Robbins, who easily explains some of the neuroscience behind why we stop ourselves from creating meaningful change. Ultimately, your goal is to form a fundamental belief that you CAN fish. In fact, you can be a master fisherman or woman!   In my house, there is no can’t; only I don’t know how yet.   Most of these solutions require a person to make an additional investment of time/money. The reality is for some that there is no additional time and there is no additional money. For some, it is just really challenging to shift priorities and they do not see the way out yet, but I have had clients working 80+ hours with kids at home who some weeks did not have ANY extra to give. They were educated, smart, and being taking for granted and underpaid for their work. For this, I wish there were an organization that could put a company on a public probation of sorts. If the government was to interfere by imposing sanctions on executive pay, I wish there were a way to raise awareness without repercussions for workers and then a way to apply social pressure to change the systems and policies that allow talented, hard-working people to be psychologically abused and trapped. I am very interested in hearing your challenges and solutions. Please share them with us.
