Well it’s been awhile since I’ve updated the site. There might be a person or 2 wondering what I’ve been up to. In the past few weeks I’ve been building an online resume. This is why I haven’t written any new stuff here on the main part of the site.
I know most people who come to this site do so in order to learn how to improve their body. That’s great. However, I made this site as a personal development tool for myself and hopefully to help people along the way as well. Obviously part of personal development has to do with the body. But of course, if that’s all you focus on in life you will be a very unbalanced, and ultimately an unhappy person. Life is about balance. Happiness comes from balance. I’ve mentioned in the about section on this site that I believe life can be chunked into 6 simple categories: 1. Emotional 2. Financial 3. Physical 4. Spiritual 5. Social/Relationships 6. Lifestyle. When you handle each area effectively life becomes heavenly. When you let certain areas slide, life becomes hell.
In the future, I’d like to write more about each of these subjects. I plan on this site being a LIFELONG project. However, I ONLY write about stuff I have personal experience and/or insights with. You will never come here and read something that didn’t come from my brain based on my own thoughts/evaluations (occasionally I’ll probably allow guest posts too). So far, I have been the most successful with the development of my body so therefore that’s what I’ve written about. However, I feel like I am making major strides and getting major insights into all of the 6 areas of life I mentioned above (so look for more stuff on these in the future).
My Online Resume
So I wanted to share my online resume with anyone/everyone who may be interested in creative ways to market yourself. Most of you probably don’t realize that what I do for most of my money is marketing, and specifically online marketing. Currently I love my job. However, I thought it would be a great aid for my career to have an online resume that I could direct people toward. I always want to keep all doors open, and make myself in as high demand as possible and I figured why talk about what I can do when I can show it. I’ve had a lot of fun building the site, and obviously it’s still not complete (I’d like to make a really awesome video, but I’m still working out details on what I want to do).
Some Thoughts on The World Going Forward
We are in a crazy time in human history. Things are changing really really fast, and the economy is becoming truly global. Going forward you, and I, will quite literally be competing with the entire planet and the billions of humans that reside on it, rather than just a small segment. If you aren’t staying ahead of the game and taking proactive steps toward setting yourself apart and making sure you’re ahead of trends you are likely going to be missing out….big time. In my opinion, what’s going to be the difference between people who win, and those who struggle, in this new world is going to come down to how fast you can learn and adapt. Also it will come down to how well you can market yourself. I have a strong suspicion that there will be A LOT of people out of work, with no up-to-date skill sets in the next 20 years scratching their heads, wondering what happened. We don’t want to be one of them.
Conclusion
If anyone is interested in doing something similar with an online resume site, let me know. If I get enough requests I may write up an article on exactly what I did, the resources I used, etc. In the mean time, hopefully it gives some people insights/ideas into how they can potentially expand their career by thinking outside the box and really marketing themselves, their ingenuity, and skill sets.
