Finding a job is hard. It takes persistence, confidence and preparation. That being said, there are things one can do to make the transition from unemployed to office superstar faster and less frustrating.

* Invite me to a party -- I'd rather have a root canal
* Have me speak about something I'm passionate about in front of a group of people -- I shine.
* Put me in a "casual" networking group -- root canal please.
* Put me in a "structured" networking group where I can ask for what I need and help others at the same time -- I'm in heaven.
We all have our levels of how we interact, the environments where we thrive and the environments where we are extremely uncomfortable. I have seen many people go into business for themselves, myself included, that would rather give up their dream than to market their business and themselves. I was almost one of those statistics. I almost QUIT my dream until I discovered the secret.
I'm sure you've heard the phrases for successful marketing, Find Your Passion; Market from your Passion; Marketing from Within, etc. This is actually correct, but there are a few more steps. Too many times we focus on things we can't do (weakness) versus the things we can do (strength). The most common phrase I've heard is "I don't want to feel like I'm selling." Then we have this belief we're supposed to market from the standard marketing box; cold calls, networking groups, speaking, knocking on doors, etc. NO! You don't need to jump directly into the marketing box first. Get out of the should(s) and the can't(s). Step into what you do well and what you enjoy first, then, open the marketing door.
The Secret
1. Give yourself permission to redefine marketing to fit your style.
Example #1
A program participant was very good at her profession as a lawyer but was very uncomfortable with marketing. I have clients brainstorm and write down their strengths and passions. She expressed she had very few on her list. It doesn't matter how many are on your list as long as you pay attention to what's there. Some people have 30-40, others have 5-10. She chose her top 3.

I’ve been running into some weird customer service karma, lately.A fine Continental restaurant that I’ve frequented for a dozen years sent an incredibly dumb waiter to serve me, someone who wouldn’t cut it in a fast food place, let alone a fine establishment.Gee, if their service is getting this bad, I’ll teach myself how to make lobster pasta!An usher at a movie theater mistakenly told me to rearrange my feet—they appeared to be dangling perilously close to the empty seat in front of mine.Wow, if I’m going to have overzealous folks bugging me like t

International trade has become increasingly important to the world economy as well as the U.S. economy. Trade accounts for about 25 percent of U.S. and world gross domestic product (GDP). It is growing at twice the rate of any other economic sector. In terms of the United States, one-third of the small firms that make an exportable product and would like to export do not presently export what they manufacture. Of the small U.S. firms that do export, nearly two-thirds export to only one country.The international flows of goods and capital that underlie international finan
Out of her 3 the main passion and strength on her list was one-on-one conversations. We then began thinking of who might be good strategic partnerships for her business. She was thrilled she could not only market from her favorite and most comfortable approach, but also choose her favorite environment, which happened to be in a cozy coffee shop. However, that wasn't all that was holding her back. She had never given herself permission to call one-on-one conversations marketing. Once she redefined marketing to One-On-One Conversations, she left saying, "I feel like I've had a black cloud lifted off my head."
2. Give yourself permission to market from your comfort zone.
When she gave herself permission to market from her comfort zone she began taking more steps naturally. Two weeks later I turned around at my networking group and there she was. She was enjoying herself because she gave herself permission to redefine marketing to fit her passions and strengths AND she allowed herself to market from her comfort zone. I have seen this so many times. Once you give yourself permission to stand in your comfort zone, it's amazing how you will naturally evolve towards expanding your marketing. It becomes FUN and Exciting!
Example #2
Look at what you already have. All you need to market may be right in front of you with your most comfortable group of prospective clients.
A Life Coach I met had a horrible fear of marketing but really believed in his chosen profession and didn't want to give it up. Through the process described above most of his fears disappeared. But he still found himself hesitating. He had identified his best client but that first step of where to begin seemed too big. In asking Bob about his past
