It is often said that we keep our dreams too small. We do not dare to dream big. Before we even start, we already expect too little and think we are only worth small successes. The first step towards creating your own vision is to be aware of that. Don’t hold back.

Whether you spend time creating a little vision or a big one, it will take you the same amount of time. So why not start off big. Instead of envisioning a two-bedroom cottage, why not rather paint the picture of a three-bedroom home in a lovely garden with a swimming pool and entertainment area.

Don’t stop at just creating a vision of your ideal home. Spend time deciding on what you would like to see happening in your work life and where you would like to be within the next ten and then the next twenty years of working.

How do you see your personal relationships develop? Have you any ideas on your life partner, whether you wish to have a family, the friends you would like to socialise with and the associations and worthwhile causes you would like to get involved in?

Where do you see your education and knowledge developing to? Have you got ideas on a degree you might wish to study for, or a new hobby you would like to learn? What about speaking a new language or immersing yourself in a new culture?

Which distant countries would you like to explore and visit? Any adventure travel you have always wanted to try such as river rafting, hot air ballooning, water skiing or snorkeling? Have you got around to running your first marathon or competing in a ballroom dancing competition?

Creating your vision and putting milestones to when you would like to have achieved your dreams will enable you to get where you want to be much easier than if you amble through life without any particular focus.

What you will find once you have created your vision is that there will be many people who will want to talk you out of them. They will be the ones who will assure you that you are crazy and it can’t be done.

There will even be those who laugh and ridicule you. Possibly for these people the disappointment that they did not reach their goals is what drives them to try to destroy other people’s. Whatever their reason, ignore them. If they persist, change friends or avoid meeting up with them.

What you need in your life is not “nay-sayers”. And regrettably there are more of those around than the ones that you truly need. You need to surround yourself with people who love your dreams, wish you all the best and encourage you to go for them.

Sometimes those people are not easy to find. Regrettably the world has more people that do not believe in dreaming beyond one’s ‘station’ in life. They are the people who believe in keeping the status quo and not moving past perceived boundaries.

It is absolutely true that you can reach for what you can dream about. Just don’t allow anybody to stop you from believing this.

Once you have created a vision for your life that keeps you motivated, the next step is to actively use this vision in your daily “visualization,” so it doesn’t just collect dust on the shelf, but you actually put it to some good use.

But we’ll save that idea for another day.

In this video, you will learn the second part of the headline writing formula for your recruitment ads.  In a recent study of over 600 recruiting ads, I discovered that less than 3% of ads actually contain this critical element.

This video reveals the first of a two part formula that I use to create headlines for my job ads.  This technique ensures that your ad is seen by the maximum number of job seekers.

Please comment below this video to let me know what you think about this training.  Also, feel free to let me know your questions about other topics that relate to writing recruitment ads so I’ll have an idea of the additional trainings to include during this launch.

This is the first post on MikeNackeBlog.com since November 2007. 

I know a lot of people were disappointed when I stopped blogging, but there are some very good reasons why.

The first and most important is that I have been developing several new products in 2008 including:

Interviews With HR Gurus

This is a brand new service for 2008 that includes monthly interviews with some of the worlds best managers, authors, consultants, speakers, and trainers concerning issues like hiring, retention, recognition, motivating employees, leadership, driving peak performance, building teams, and more.  This monthly interview series will launch on September 1st and we’ve already booked some amazing professionals for this series. 

The Hiring Top Talent Interview System (Version 3.1)

Expect this to be released in November 2008.  The new version of this hiring system will include many updates and improvements from the original interview system.  It will also be a physical product with two printed manuals, four audio CD’s, and two live motion video DVD’s.  We are putting together the most comprehensive hiring system in the world.  Expect to hear more soon.

The Recognition Mastermind Program (stay tuned for details)

The Magnetic Job Ads System  

I know … I’ve been talking about releasing this system for a long time, but every time we get ready to launch, we are discovering better ways to attract top talent with killer job ads. 

Behavioral Assessments Training Program     

If you’re looking for a powerful way to become better at hiring, retaining, motivating, and managing employees, then learning to use behavioral assessments to better understand their natural tendencies in a work environment can take you a long way.  But you can’t just start using assessments and expecting get miraculous results, you have to learn the in’s and out’s of the assessment game.  From choosing the right assessment, to interpretting and applying the results… in this program you are going to learn everything you need to know to quickly and effectively start using assessments in your own business.

So, that’s the wrap-up of what’s been going on in 2008.

You may also notice the new look of MikeNackeBlog.com.  I hope you like the new format.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to salvage all of the old content on the previous blog, but this should be the last time we deal with this problem as we have massively upgraded our servers and don’t expect to require this kind of transition again in the future.

Thanks for visiting… and I’ll talk to you real soon.

Your Friend,

Mike Nacke
