A NOTE FROM LORI
We all have moments in our lives that really stand out as life altering and special. For me, attending the recent Super Bowl and watching the New Orleans Saints finally find their way to victory was that special moment. I’ve never really been a huge football fan but I can say that I am now because the Saint’s victory is so much more than football. I’ve watched this team since I was 19 years old, attending games with my husband who was my boyfriend at the time. I couldn’t understand why he and so many loyal fans stuck with this losing team year after year and decade after decade.
The story of their win would make a great story for a best selling book or movie. But this story is real. What blows me away is how the quarterback Drew Brees signed with the team shortly after Hurricane Katrina. He came with a bad shoulder. Other teams didn’t want him. He worked hard, set the right mental tone for his team, and visualized winning the Super Bowl and shared that belief and vision with his teamates. It was meant to be. It was destiny, according to Drew. Accomplishing something that seemed so impossible in a city that some Americans wrote off as a city that shouldn’t even exist anymore, is awe inspiring. Adversity and resilience lifted this football team and city to greatness. The team focused on winning the Super Bowl for the people of New Orleans and the gulf coast area, and not for themselves. These lessons can shift you to your own greatness. Here’s how:
Focus on something that you desire;
Visualize it and how it would feel to accomplish it;
GUEST ARTICLE – VALENTINE’S DAY: JOB-HUNTING LIKE DATING
By Dr. Randall S. Hansen, Quintessential Careers
Valentine’s Day is about love and romance, passion and commitment, so how can job-seekerssearching for work take these lessons to heart and apply them to the jobsearch?
“Dating and job-hunting have many parallels,” states Dr. Randall S. Hansen, founder and publisher of Quintessential Careers (http://www.quintcareers.com), one of the Web’s leading career tools sites. “Both dating and job-hunting focus on finding the right match, meeting with strangers who are potential matches, and eventually making a long-term commitment.”
In Hansen’s latest article published on the site, Job-Hunting’s Parallels with Dating: Steps on How to Find Your Next Successful Employer Relationship, he describes the three major steps that guide both dating and job-hunting. (URL: http://www.quintcareers.com/job-hunting_like_dating.html)
The first step, Hansen says, is researching prospects and finding the perfect match. Just as with dating, a job-seeker should focus on finding a job with an employer that is a good fit for both parties. “Your job-search goal should focus on uncovering the best job opportunities with organizations that have values that match yours. Do not haphazardly apply to job openings or apply to random job leads. Instead, take proactive steps in uncovering job leads that fit you,” Hansen states.
The second step is succeeding in building interest and a connection with the other person(s). Just as with dating, the more you know about your prospective employer, the better you can position yourself as the ideal job-seeker for the job. This step involves researching the employer and creating interest through a tailored resume and cover letter that leads to an interview. “Building a connection with the employer and hiring manager starts with the cover letter and resume, but continues through the job interview,” Hansen says.
The third step is agreeing to be together and making the long-term commitment. “When all the interviews are over, and the employer is ready to make a commitment to the relationship by making a job offer, you must be prepared to make a decision about what you want,” Hansen states.
The complete article offers job-seekers proven techniques for achieving job-search success, including how to uncover solid job leads, research employers, prepare dynamic cover letters and resumes, succeed in the interview, and negotiate a job offer.

Here are my top picks this week to help you reach your career goals. The only thing that’s standing in the way between you and your outrageous success are your fears, doubts, and limiting thoughts. Enjoy this week’s picks:
www.jobnob.com – This website allows you to do several innovative things:
Search and compare ACTUAL salaries across companies and professions
Find volunteer opportunities for startups or work for reduced rates or alternative compensation to keep your skills sharp and expand your network. It’s great for your resume!
My favorite strategy for turning around any interview situation is to directly ask the interviewer what objections they may have about you and then address them. It’s very impressive if you can counter the objections one by one. It leaves a lasting, favorable impression about you and alleviates unfounded concerns a hiring manager may have. I’ve had many clients become the top candidate by using this strategy. And when I was a recruiter, I loved it when a candidate asked me these questions at the end of an interview: Do you see any concerns that stand in the way of my succeeding in this position? I believe we are a good match. Do you have any reservations?
Do you have a creative talent you’d like for me to consider sharing with people across 20 countries? Do you have a story that would inspire others? Contact me at lori@Loridavila.com
I know many of you would never consider contacting me about this! Take a bold action step and contact me anyway. Even if you share a story about your career dreams and they haven’t yet come true and you need a little help believing in yourself, let me help you manifest your dreams by simply sharing your aspirations. The goal here is to inspire others and get yourself into action by taking this first, small step.
Here’s an inspiring story from Bill Sheldon who boldly stepped out to share his experiences and lessons with all of us:
After a lifetime of managing retails stores of myself and private owners, I decided to make myself happy and turn a love of creativity into a full time business. I never enjoyed running small stores with all the hours, employees, customers, inventory, etc. I was never happy with all of those daily headaches. I made great money, but I was only happy when I had a chance to be creative, like doing seasonal displays when the manager couldn’t get it done. During all those years of management I designed and displayed, part-time, for a company called Department 56, which is best known for their ceramic & porcelain buildings like Dickens’ Village, Snow Village and more. I did their in-store displays and created realistic detailed displays that proved to sell lots of product. As with many creative people, I am also known for my gift-wrapping the was “Going Green” long before it was “in”, by wrapping packages that could be opened and re-used without destroying the beautiful wrapping.
So when I got “down-sized” in 2001, I decided to make myself happy and start a design company. I was working with Department 56 almost full-time as an independent store & display designer. I have also started: A web site, Design Christmas Products, Create Gift-Wrap concepts, Small Business consulting and Speak at Collector’s Clubs. I am much happier being creative everyday!!! I wish I had made a hobby a career when I was a young man. That old advice “find something you love and get paid for it” came to me very late in life. I’m now 65 and starting over…
Attention all success-oriented women!

Daily Practice (for Creating Value)
Lori’s comment on this article: Creating and providing value for others is truly the #1 key to enormous success. Take this advice to heart and your dreams will come true, without a doubt! Oh, and I appreciate you – my readers, for your inspirational emails you send me as I learn many important lessons from you!
If you want to enjoy the flow-back of financial abundance, then forget about money for a while. Money is an effect, not a cause. If you focus on trying to make money, you’re putting the cart before the horse.
Instead, focus your attention on creating and delivering value. Make it part of your daily routine, so it becomes a habit.
Don’t overcomplicate this. Creating value for someone really isn’t that difficult. If you don’t know where to begin, then start small. Send a few people nice emails telling them what you appreciate about them. Offer to babysit someone’s kids while they go out on a date. Start doing the sorts of things that people will thank you for.
Make this a daily habit. Every day ask yourself, What can I do to create value for someone today? Then go do it, and make sure you deliver that value as soon as possible — ideally on the same day you create it.
Don’t allow more than a few days to go by without creating and delivering some form of value. If you slack off, your creative flow will begin to atrophy, and it will feel unusually difficult to engage in creative work. But if you make this a daily practice, your creative energies will keep getting stronger, and it will feel very natural to keep the flow going.
Do NOT get stuck in your head. Don’t get caught up daydreaming about all the different things you could do to create value. Don’t start writing out grand plans and creating spreadsheets. Those activities may seem intelligent, but they don’t actually create or deliver any real value. All they do is keep you stuck where you are.
Make the commitment to create and deliver some form of value to people as a daily habit. One day you might write and post a new article for your blog. The next day you might simply offer some encouragement to a friend. And another day you might make a nice dinner for your significant other, followed by a relaxing massage.
It’s perfectly fine to work on big projects — projects that may involve creating value that won’t be delivered for months or years to come. But those big projects are no substitute for the daily practice of creating and delivering value. If you stop delivering value for too long, the flow-back of abundance will soon dry up as well. This has happened to me several times when I got caught up working on big projects and failed to maintain my daily practice.
Creating and delivering value is like physical exercise. You can work on a big project like planning and constructing your own home gym, and that may indeed benefit you in the long run, but it doesn’t mean you should slack off on daily exercise while the gym is being built. Maintain the habit of daily exercise even while your gym is still in the planning stage. Then you can upgrade your exercise routine when the new gym is ready.
Similarly, even as you work on big projects from time to time, keep maintaining the daily habit of creating and delivering value. This will keep you in the flow of abundance. Because you’re always giving, you’ll always be receiving. Once you’ve got this habit going strong, then you can tackle some of those bigger projects that will deliver even more value. But no matter what, make sure the daily practice remains intact.

The Secret Sauce
Why am I offering you this gift? There are several reasons.
First, I truly appreciate that you are a one of my social media friends, and I value you as one of my blog followers.
Second, I recently completed a new program that is based on proven methods my coaching clients are using with amazing results! I now offer this on my website as a free gift for new subscribers. But you – if you are not a current subscriber – will have no way of knowing about it. I don’t want YOU to miss out.
This program is for spiritual and creative professionals and executives who want to be an author, or launch their dream career or online business once and for all, and create wealth! And make a difference. ***THIS IS REALLY A BLUEPRINT FOR LIFE.***
(The fastest way to learn is from someone who’s already done it – I will share my success tools, resources, and wisdom.)
One more reason is to offer support because there are so many people affected by the current economic challenges. Have you lost your job or do you know someone who has? I lost my job years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! Within a few weeks I was interviewed consistently by the WALL STREET JOURNAL as their career expert even though I had spent the last 18 years in corporate marketing. Soon after that, MCGRAW-HILL called and asked me to write a book. I had no manuscript, no agent, and no book idea. I also launched my highly successful dream business. And yes, it was all during an economic downturn.
Finally, there is one more very important reason. In recent years, I have served as a coach helping many wonderful people take their lives to the next level – career, business, personal, and financial dreams being realized. In some cases, people were really stuck. I saw their struggle and celebrated when they broke free. I want to see you break free, too.
Here’s to a brighter future,
