Ep #160: Creating Certainty in Your Career

Welcome to the Get a Six-Figure Job You Love podcast. This is episode 160, Creating Certainty in Your Career. Stay tuned. Welcome to the Get a Six-Figure Job You Love and Thrive podcast, where I, Natalie Fisher, am teaching you weekly how to land your premium role that you love and thrive in it. Let's go. Hello. Hello. So with everything that's going on, with everything that's always going on, like the state of the world going up and down, everything always being different, like the universe is never the same one minute, right? It's like different, it's moving, it's never still, it's never the same. So we as humans want— all we want is certainty, right? I feel like we hate having uncertainty. Yeah. And yet, We live on a planet that is so uncertain, and our lives are going to be uncertain. It is a constant. So I had this idea for putting on this three-day live training about how to create certainty, how to give you the power to create certainty for yourself. And that's what I feel like I do because I don't really know. I don't love it either, right? I still have to manage my brain around not being certain of what's going to happen or whatever. But I'm so much more productive in my quality of thinking when I know what to focus on and how to bring myself back to the things that actually do give me certainty of some type, right? And then I get to start with that, and then I get to build on that, and then I get to move forward with that. And I am largely in control of what happens, not 100%, but largely. And we all are, okay? You listening, you have a lot more control than you think. So I wanted to start out with that, but The main thing I want to tell you this week is I'm putting on a 3-day live training in August. It's going to be on Wednesday, August 23rd, Thursday the 24th, Friday the 25th. So it's a 3-day live training, 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. And we all get together on Zoom. You can register. The link will be in the show notes. And we're going to go through creating certainty in your career. And Many, many, many topics have come up and I've received a lot of feedback on what we should cover in this training. And it's going to be, I think, the biggest, best one yet that I've ever done. It's like the mother of all trainings. I couldn't be more excited for it. And so I just wanted to break down what it's going to be about. It is a free training and it's 3 days. So the first day we're going to be covering mindset, the foundation for upgrading your mindset and your whole career as a whole. So I've had a lot of clients who who have been laid off. Like they they came to me, they landed their job, it was amazing, and then they got laid off, right? And this is not a problem. Like it's like this is the whole reason why I do what I do and why my program is lifetime because I want you to be able to come back and be like, "Hey, I'm stuck at this now. I need help with this now. I need to realign here." And that's why the program is lifetime. So it's like that's fine. They come back and then they they realign and then they go and get it and. The amazing thing I see is they're so much stronger, more resilient, more practiced, more able to manage their mind, able to elevate their quality of thinking so much faster because of the work that we've already done. So it's kind of like they purchased themselves an insurance policy by already having gone through this deep work and already have created a certain level of certainty for themselves, right? Like they already know they have somewhere to go. They already know they've purchased resources for themselves. They know that they have unwavering support when they get laid off again, because that's happening. People get laid off, right? And I don't see that as a problem. Okay? I see it as, it's like if I were to lose everything tomorrow, I would know exactly how to rebuild it, right? I mean, like I would have it back within a year or 3 years. Like, They say that it's like, because it's about the skill, right? It's not about the having of the thing. It's about the skill. You know how to get it, right? And it's like they say that if we were to take all the world's money and we were to like, uh, equally hand it out to everybody, say like, say like God, for argument's sake, or whatever you believe in, took all the money in the world and then redistributed evenly to every single person on Earth. within 1 to 3 years, it would be right back in the same hands, right? So the poor people would be poor again, the rich people would be rich again, and it's all because their mindsets haven't changed. Their identity is— they are who they are, and they will find a way to match their identity for who they were being, right? So my clients, they upgrade their identity, and they're able to become that person who is in demand, become that person who knows how to go land a job, become that person who knows how to communicate their value and become curious when that isn't communicated, and like all the things that I teach in my work. So that's a beautiful thing, and I, I've seen it a lot lately because things are just happening and they're different, and that's okay. So uncertainty is just a constant. We're gonna have it in our lives, so we might as well embrace it. And we get to create a level of our own certainty that is much bigger than we imagine. than we know that most people even have an awareness of. That being said, I'll go through what we're covering in the training. I also wanted to cover something important about something I've been seeing a lot of lately is people getting their certifications. People will go get a PMP certification or a UX certification or do a bootcamp is another term, or business analysis certification. These certifications are great. If in the practical sense where they can teach you how to do, like if you say you go through Laura Brandenburg certification, which I fully support and endorse, it's a practical certification, right? So she's going to teach you how to go effectively analyze a business process. She's going to give you all the tools, everything that you need to go into an organization, look at a business process, break it down, make it more efficient and save money with it, right? She's going to give you and teach you those skills, right? But even if you have that skill, it's a completely different skill to navigate a job hunt to get a 6-figure job that pays you for that skill. It's a completely different one. And so, what I want to do is I want to be able to give you that same confidence being like, okay, when you leave the certification, you've got this confidence that you could analyze a business process and you could get that business process down a few steps. You could make it more effective. Most people have a 10 out of 10 confidence that they could do that. But they don't have the 10 outta 10 confidence that they could land the job, right? And that's what I, that's what my job is. That's what my practice is, is to help people to develop that confidence. So it's not just a confidence of, I can fix this problem, or I know I can figure out how to solve this problem once I'm on the job, but it's like, I always know how to get the job, right? 'Cause that's a process in itself that I feel totally confident about, right? And that is a thing that we don't teach, that nobody has, like, and that is The problem that I see in the world that I'm solving. So that's what I want to talk about in short. And also just a side note with these certifications and with degrees and all this stuff, it's like people are sold that you get that and you'll get a job. Oh, that's what will get you the job. It's a different skillset though. It's not that, right? And so a lot of people see it a lot more easier than it is. They don't expect it to be so hard and they can really get really disheartened really fast. So it's like there's so many certifications, right? There's a lot of people teaching about that, but then there's less people teaching about how to actually teach that deep skill of getting the job. And I'm not talking about resume resources. I'm not talking about quick tips here and there of how to answer questions. I'm talking about the deep skill of understanding yourself and your value on a deep level as to how you go through and get the job and how you do it multiple times. Okay. So, at the same level of confidence that you might have for your profession or something that you do in your profession, right? If I told you, oh, here's an accounting spreadsheet and it doesn't match up, can you solve for that? And if you're an accountant, you're going to be like, oh yeah, no problem, right? The same level of confidence I want you to have with your ability to get your next 6-figure role. And then how to guarantee it to yourself, just like you would be able to guarantee that you would be able to solve a business process or you'd be able to fix an accounting problem. And so many people I look at see these certifications as an easy way to make more money and change careers with a relatively small investment. And it totally can be, but without the adequate wisdom of how to actually find, create, and land those opportunities, then it's useless. You could sling resumes forever and still not have it. And then a lot of people get disheartened. And it's really unfortunate to see because Without that skill of the next step. And this is a really great skill to have. I would argue it's more important is they don't anticipate it. So it ends up being a lot more work than they thought. And then a lot of people end up giving up. So it takes people many years sometimes to pay back their investment for their student loans. And my client Misha, she was saying that she wished she discovered the program sooner because it was like she didn't need to go back and get that MBA. It actually did not Contribute to her landing the job in the end. But anyways, I digress a little bit. So what we're going to talk about today are the, the, the 3 days of what we'll be breaking down on this training. So day 1 is going to be about the mindset foundation. So we need the solid foundation in order to build on that foundation. And like I was saying, if you have a solid foundation, then you can rely on it whenever, right? So you get laid off, like, let's just assume you're going to get laid off. Okay, because the world is not like linear anymore. We don't stay in a job for 20 years. It's not like that anymore. And when we can assume we're going to get laid off, wouldn't it be nice to be able to say, hey, I know what to do. I have the, I have the confidence in myself that I can go and get another job no matter what the economy's doing, because I have like valuable skills and I know how to communicate those skills and I know how to make it a no-brainer for somebody to need me. And somebody who, like, I know how to make it a no-brainer for somebody to want to pay me, right? So we're going to cover the 3 mindframes for success from the get-go. We're going to cover the framework that clarifies exactly what you might be doing that hasn't worked for you, and we'll be able to dissect that down. The clear challenges and opportunities as the economy goes up and down or whatever it's doing, and as a caveat, the economy is what it is. It's the circumstance, right? It's not going to change, or it'll change maybe when it changes. But our job is to use those circumstances to our best advantage and learn how to see the opportunities in those circumstances. And there's always people doing that. You'll always see that. You'll always see the people who are doing it very successfully. And then you'll see people who aren't even trying. And you'll see people in failure, in detrimental failure, and you'll always see people on the flip side. So that's my job here to bring this to career, to job hunt is like, this is where we find the opportunities. This is where we go deep and we get them for you, right? So how to look at your job hunt as the opportunity of a lifetime to create golden opportunities for life, and more importantly, to create the skill. Of landing that job. Okay? And I love this. Like, I love talking about this, and it's one of my very, very favorite things to do and coach people on. So if you are feeling nervous about it, if you're feeling uncertain about it and you don't wanna be, or you want some tools, come to this training. The day 2 is about selling yourself in a soul-aligned way, but also how, like, understanding what people want and what people want to pay for and what makes it a no-brainer for them to hire you. So from coaching hundreds of people, the— I'm going to teach you the trip-ups that most smart people make, because my clients are smart people, right? It's not that they're lack— that they lack the ability to do things. It's not like they lack capability or they lack qualifications or whatever. It's not that. They don't lack Ability. They lack the ability to understand themselves in a deep way where they can communicate that value in a way that people want to pay for it, among all the other things that we have going on and among all the other things the hiring managers have going on, right? So what successful people do to create a different result, and a lot of us are just stuck in the same results doing the same things without really knowing it or without knowing what to change, right? The 4 types of people that I work with and in which category you might fall into. And this is a framework that I've been using now for a while that pinpoints exactly where you are and then where you want to be and then how exactly to get there. The framework for solidifying your value in order to communicate it most effectively. And in this one, I talk about positioning yourself for Like positioning yourself in high-value environments, because that's another problem too. People just kind of get disheartened because they think they couldn't get the money they wanted or whatever, and it's really the environment that they're putting themselves in or the environment that they are entertaining or the opportunities that they're entertaining, right? Day 3 is about value and positioning. So how to get paid your value once you understand it and why most people aren't, the unnecessary reasons why people suffer. So staying in a job hunt for a very long time, remaining in survival mode, and how to flip the game on these. And this is so like, sometimes I can get a little bit tough lovey because I really think I'm here for your service, not necessarily for you to like me all the time. And I feel like it's sometimes a lot more effective when I'm very direct. So if you're on my email list, you will have some emails that might be a little bit tough love emails. And I understand if it might be difficult for you to hear some of what I say, but It comes from a deep desire to help you. And I know that it's effective because I've had that for me, done for me, right? And I needed to hear those things. And then the surprising way that you can bust out of old patterns by doing so with a fresh perspective. And those are the 3 days. So I'd love to have you there. I'm gonna have the chat open. It's gonna be a very interactive experience. I can't wait to share this information with you. And this is going to be kind of like the mother of all trainings where I bring everything together that's been the most successful and I've gotten the best feedback on and feel like has moved the needle for the most amount of people. And I'm going to bring that all to you in this training. So join me, sign up with the link below. It's www.nataliefisher.ca/creating because we're creating certainty in your career. And I will see you there. So once you sign up for it, you're going to get a Zoom link. It's going to be this same Zoom link for every single day, and you're going to get a workbook. So that'll be like a little bit of a sneak peek about what we're covering, and you can print that out if you'd like to, and you can take notes on it, but you don't have to. You can just follow along with it. I found a lot of people really miss the workbook when I don't have one, so I decided I was going to have one for this training, and we're going to have a lot of fun. So if you're not interested in having fun, This is probably not for you. And if you don't want to learn a lot, and if you're not ready to handle some tough love or some things that might trigger you, this is probably not for you either. But it will get results. It will move the needle. It will be different. It will create a fire. Like it will, it will get you moving if you've been in inaction and it will only do good things for your career, not just now or for the next job, but for the rest of the time that you need to be. Yeah. Looking for a job, if you ever need to work again, this will support you in that. So like I said, I think it's kind of like an insurance policy to do this and to learn this. And these skills are so much more valuable than a lot of people's degrees, right? And I'm not saying education is not valuable; I do think it is. But it's definitely not as valuable unless you know how to use it. It's kind of like a product, right? Like you might have a great product, but if you don't know how to market and sell it, then it. Doesn't have the value, right? So it's like you, you're a great product, you could be amazing at what you do, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to market yourself and how to sell yourself. And if you don't know how to do it smarter, and if you don't know how to get curious with why it's not working, and if you don't know how to actually stay the course until you get that amazing result, then the fact that you're amazing at what you do, you're the best kept secret. Right? And it doesn't even matter. And you end up kind of resentful and kind of bitter because you are amazing at what you do, yet you're not being recognized. And that's not being reflected in your pay and where you are right now. So I don't want that for you. That's the whole reason I do what I do. So come to the training. I can't wait to see you there and we will have some fun. All right. I will see you in the training. Hey, have you left me a review yet? If not, leaving me one now comes with an awesome bonus perk.
