It’s easy to look at the latest overnight success and think – “Wow, look at them, so happy, so successful, so free” – and think that something must be wrong with you.  Because even though you are constantly trying to make something happen, you don’t feel successful or energized, no instead you feel worn out with nothing left to give.  If this is the case for you, perhaps it’s not what you are doing to become successful but rather what you are still focusing on to become successful.  Even the slightest tilts of lost focus is enough to shift our context and frame of mind from where we should be headed to instead a completely different one. So what do those people DO to get through these moments of lost focus?  How do they zero in on the task at hand to become a success? Perhaps it’s not what they FOCUS on, but rather what they DON’T FOCUS on that makes the real difference. The Clock Never Stops A successful person will never focus on th...

“Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success.

#1: Get In, Tell Your Story, And Get Out Make every word count when you’re writing. In an article like this one I’ve chosen to use bold subtitles for those who like to scan or skim an article to get the main points but don’t want to dig in deeper for the details. I’ve also provided my opinion and the extra details for those who like context and an explanation to go with the points in bold. Consider doing the same with your resume. Use short, tweet-sized sentences to communicate key accomplishments, your branding statements, facts you don’t want the employer to miss. Ideally, you want critical information CALLED OUT on the resume.   #2: Be A Ruthless Editor Create a master resume and then go back and edit it until you have a leaner draft.

Save the discarded content in a master ...
