scratch that niche!
Join Pete Monfre and Tom Myer on November 9th for a half-day workshop. The goal of the program is to teach you how to create repeatable marketing systems! Should be a blast!
Only come if you’re ready to truly evaluate your processes and want to commit to positive changes in the way you work!
I’ll be giving a little talk entitled:
iPods, IM, IRL: GenX, GenY and your Career (IMHO)
The point of my talk is that the media develops nice little shorthands for each generation, and that these little generalizations often do more harm than good. For example, in 1990, Time magazine pretty much lambasted GenX as cynical slackers who would rather have McJobs than do real work. We apparently loved living with mom & dad, and oh by the way, shame on you for not changing the world before you turned 23.
Not surprising at all, since the people writing this horsesh*t were boomers, who apparently did think they changed the world by having love-ins and Woodstock and whatever else. (See how I over-generalized there…take that!)
At the same time, you have the media now singing Generation Y’s praises. They are eager, young, energetic, positive, etc. But there’s a dark underside–helicopter parents, a feeling of entitlement, lack of savoir faire. But again, these people are young, so you can expect them to be more interested in work/life balance then whatever we think is interesting. Blah blah blah.
The point of my presentation is to tell these young college kids to rise above the press coverage and work hard. I’ll tell them 5 things that will drastically reduce their chances of getting a job, and 5 things that can get them fired.
I don’t have final directions for where the talk will be held, but if you’re interested, call us at 512.420.8870.
Join us on September 13 as we talk about the mechanics of writing, getting ideas, putting together a good proposal, and more.
Oh–we’re also planning a part 3 in this teleseminar series on September 27–how to promote your book!
Last week, Thom Singer and I spoke for over an hour on the topic of writing and publishing a book. As they say in all those church newsletters, a good time was had by all!
This is probably the first in a series of podcasts on the topic of publishing a book, btw. More later.
Thom Singer joins us August 9 to talk about the in’s and out’s of publishing a book. We’ll cover lots of subtopics along the way, like how publishing a book can help your career, should you self-publish, and some tips for selecting a good publisher.
Thomas Myer is a consultant, author, and speaker. He's also on a quest. No, it doesn't involve armor, dragons, white horses, or riddles. Ask him about it if you see him.
