I've been rejected so many times and more recently, I've hit rock bottom thanks to COVID. But the best thing about hitting rock bottom is that your only way is UP!

Yes! But this year, I've also realised what I have been doing wrong all this time, why my profile is only fitting in and not standing out!

So in this episode, join me as we deep-dive into how I've applied relevance into my work as a VA and Freelancer. We'll also do a mini-workshop on how you can start to be more relevant with your resume, application, cover letter, and proposal!

Don't forget, our Question of the Day is GOLD!

SPEAKER BACKGROUND:
Dave Ruel is a former competitive physique athlete turned serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and leadership mentor.

After founding and growing multi-million dollar online companies in the field of health, fitness and sports nutrition for nearly a decade, Dave saw the dark side of entrepreneurship gradually rob him of his freedom, leaving him burned out and unfulfilled. Refusing to conform to a broken business culture that promotes workaholism and non-stop hustle, Dave created a sustainable structure and systems for his life and business to reclaim his freedom without sacrificing the growth of his companies.

Fueled by his passion for entrepreneurship and human performance, he launched Effic, an innovative leadership development company that helps busy entrepreneurs maximize their impact and freedom.

Following his “efficiency first” philosophy to entrepreneurial productivity and performance, Dave developed a powerful methodology that he sums up in the best-selling book Done By Noon - How To Achieve More By Noon Than Other Entrepreneurs In A Full Day.

Effic's systems, frameworks and tools, including the Effic Planner, are now used by thousands of entrepreneurs all around the world. Effic has also built a fast-growing network of Effic Certified Partners who teach the methodology on 3 continents, in countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, and the USA.

A graduate of Media and Entertainment Management, Dominique Berenguer shares this and more inside wires on being creatively productive, especially in terms of Social Media Marketing (SMM).

We all know that SMM is no cake-walk, at least for those who actually see the potential of the business' assets (i.e. images, videos, etc.) and each platform's algorithm. In my experience, working in Social Media for about a decade now does not even guarantee me an easy-breezy adventure.

Nevertheless, having collaborated with Dominique gave me that 'silver lining' that Social Media Marketing (SMM) can be something more than just a task. If channeling oneself is done right, a creative genius can rise. Tune in!

Phishing is not news. But when these scammers actually take the time to get to know you, "do their research" per se, let alone impersonate the people you work with a.k.a. your clients, things become a little chair-gripping.
