The saying of "no rest for the weary" is true for me today. I finally got online and began to send my first networking emails to people I know or have worked with in the past, letting them know that I'm exploring other career opportunities, blah, blah, blah. That email blitz was followed by a number of phone calls in which I touched base with 12 other people essentially doing the same thing.

In sales, the broader you cast your net to a targetted group, the higher the probability of obtaining a potential client or sale. That's the philosophy I've used for finding jobs and it's never taken me more than 10 weeks to go from looking for a position to starting a job. So I'm hoping the same formula works in my favor again.

Yesterday I began to write down all the elements of what I would want my ideal or dream job to have. I'm still not finished as I keep refining it. You see, some time ago I learned that if you really want something in your life, and you get real focused and specific about what you really want, by writing it down and praying about it, it can and will be manifested in your life in some form. That's why I don't focus on a job title or position. Instead I focus on the kind of environment, people, etc. I'd like to experience.

Well, everytime I've done this, no matter what it's been about, it's manifested itself in my life. So here I am once again, doing the same thing that has worked 3 times before in the last year.

Over a year ago I began to write in my journal how I wanted to be able to have a new group of friends in my life and I wrote all their characteristics down. Three months later I was adopted by the most incredible group of people I could have ever wanted to have in my life. Yes, they're spread out all over the place, but I figure, the different time zones help when I have insomnia. Also, they already given me much more and taught this old dog a few new tricks in the process, than I could have ever imagined.

In mid-December I wrote about 2 specific things I wanted to have in my life by the time my birthday rolled around. Both are currently in my life today 7 weeks ahead of schedule. Wooohooo!

So being that I'm on a roll with this, and since this was something I suggested my blog sister do, Tammi of Road Warrior Survival. I figured I should put my own advice to work for me, so that she could see how this works in my life. Since she's such a wonderful person, I would really love to see it come true in hers.

What say you Tammi, are you up for this game!
