Failure To Attract

… would you check it out?

I decided this weekend at the first Unseminar Elite that although I like my 9-5 and the stability it provides, I still want to be able to do what Pat does.  I just have no idea what I want my niche to be.

I was told recently that I do a really good job at explaining the technical details for the internet marketing concepts really well, and so I was thinking that maybe I could do a teleseminar to answer a few questions in my unique fashion.  I could even collect about three questions a person before the call itself, publish them online, and make sure that no one asks the same question twice.

What do you think?  I’d love to get some feedback on this idea.

Also, I’ve decided that I want to attract the money for a car - not the car itself, but the money for one.  I think the experience and the money-building exercise will help me more in the long run, and that’s what resonates with me the most.

Currently, I’ve picked out a new 2008 Volkswagon GTI as my dream car.  I got to drive a 2007 in January and just completely fell in love with it.  If I’m going all out, the version I want is about $32,000.  I want to be able to pay for the entire thing with cash.

So the next thing I want to attract is $35,000.  I keep asking myself the question,  “How can I make $35,000, and soon?”

I hope to answer this question soon.

What an interesting and well done video. Check it out!

I dub that #1 because I know that it will be the first of many. But, I am happy to announce that this is a happy update. For you see… I have a job.

Let me say that again. I have a job!

This is a very exciting thing for me, since my life is finally coming back together. I’ve got the job, which is the start of a great many things. It’s helping me get my life into a routine, as well as bringing a lot of great people into my life.

Though, let me elaborate a bit about the job. I work for a medical insurance company, and I’m one of the people your doctor’s office contacts when you need an office visit or procedure authorized so the insurance will cover it. I got the job through OfficeTeam, who is one of the best staffing agencies around.

I don’t get paid a lot, but I’ve been told that the company likes me so much and the work and potential I have to help them, that they want to offer me a permanent position. This has got me curious and wondering about how the whole process works - since I get paid by OfficeTeam, and am technically an employee of theirs… how does that work?

Luckily, I have a friend in Seattle who used to work for Robert Half International, OfficeTeam’s parent company. He told me that what happens is, the client company hires a staffing agency like OfficeTeam to find someone to fill a position, since it can cost upwards of $10,000 for a company to try to hire someone themselves. So, for argument’s sake, lets say the client company pays OfficeTeam $20 an hour per person in this position, and OfficeTeam turns around and pays the person they find $12 an hour, so they get to pocket almost the same about of money they pay out per hour for that position.

The thing that makes me think the most, though, is if I get hired on full time - what sorts of negotiation skills will I need? What sort of a mentality should I bring to the table? What attitude? What should I ask for? Et al.

It’s confusing! I’m not sure exactly what I should do. Any suggestions or help is appreciated!
