1. 8 Smart Ways To Successfully Motivate
Yourself To Start Your Job Search
Are you dissatisfied, discouraged, frustrated or feeling unfulfilled in your
career and considering looking for a new job? Before you write the résumé
and refresh your LinkedIn profile, you must first work on getting in the right
mindset to succeed. It is easy to complain about your boss and co-workers
and tell everyone around you that you are going to get out of this prison of a
job. It is much harder to put the dream into action.
Here are eight ways to develop the right mindset to start the interview
process with confidence and enthusiasm.

1. Stop talking, complaining and take immediate action right now!
We all waste so much of our precious time hoping for things to magically
change and make our lives better overnight. I’m sorry to be the one to tell
you, but it doesn’t work like that. In reality, rather than grumble about your
current boss and job, you must initiate change and make the bold decision to
pursue your dream. Push yourself to get off the couch, put down the phone,
turn off Netflix and make it happen. There is no need to obtain anyone else’s
permission or blessings to seek out a new job that offers more money,
intellectual challenges and better opportunities for growth.
It is easy to follow the herd mentality and wait until after the summer to act.
Your friends and family may even encourage you to delay your dream, so that
you could spend more time with them on the beach. Yes, you could wait until
September, but then you will come up with an excuse to push it further down

2. the road. There will never be a perfect time. Well, there is one great time to
start and it is now. It is very simple; all you need to do is get serious and
hyper-focused about making a change and actually decide to start.
2. Write a game plan to find a job.
If you go on a road trip, you follow the car’s navigation system, quarterbacks
call the plays that the coaches have prepared beforehand and home builders
have architects draft blueprints for their clients’ dream homes. It’s the same
with your job search. Draft a quick and easy game plan for yourself that you
could put into action on a daily basis.
Include building, enhancing and tailoring your résumé to fit the jobs that you
are applying to. Enhance your LinkedIn profile and start networking on the
platform by connecting with recruiters, human resource personnel and
LinkedIn members who could help you land the next job. Scour the job
boards for appropriate positions and email your résumé. Find recruiters in
your space and meet with them in person. Set time to practice your elevator
pitch about yourself. Network with colleagues, former co-workers and others
who can help guide you.This is not just a game plan anymore, but rather a
plan of action that you will follow every day without fail. Yes, there will
always be obstacles and setbacks. There will be haters that would love for
you to fail. Ignore all the naysayers and impediments to your forward
momentum. Mentally prepare yourself for hardship, failures and rejection. It
is all part of the game. Promise yourself to fight through them with strength,
courage and dignity.

3. Avoid the negative people and surround yourself with a like-minded,
motivated group.

3. Most people lead small, petty lives and are miserably unhappy. Instead of
being happy for you, they secretly desire for you to fail and join them in their
misery. If these are your friends and family, decidedly separate yourself from
them for a while. You don’t have to disown them, just keep a healthy
distance while you are actively pursuing your goal and living your best life.
Life is too short to be surrounded by toxic people who whine, complain and
only see the problems and dead ends. Instead, seek out like-minded people.
Find others who share your passion and drive. If you know people who are
also looking for a new job, offer to take them out for a coffee and share notes
about your progress. Brainstorm strategies, share and receive ideas. Meet
with successful recruiters and pick their brains to find out what works. Join
networking events and meet-ups. You will be invigorated by their energy. You
will learn new interviewing techniques. You could deconstruct why you may
have not received that job offer and work toward making positive changes to
your interviewing style and approach.
4. Focus on taking care of yourself emotionally, mentally and physically.
The interview process can be long and exhausting. View yourself as a top
professional athlete. Eat right, sleep well and exercise. You must have a
healthy diet and workout routine. Go to sleep early and wake up early. Stop
drinking, smoking and consuming any drugs—even prescription medicine that
you know you really don’t need, but it makes you feel good. You need to be
in peak condition to manage all the emotional highs and lows, rejection,
discouragement and stress associated with the interview process.
5. Replace negative feedback loops with positive self-talk.
We all have negative self-deprecating thoughts run through our minds. We
are our own worst enemies. Our loved ones will encourage us, but the little
nagging voice played on an endless loop in your head fills you with self-doubt.

4. Often these thoughts tell us that we can't achieve certain goals and success
will never happen. It is amazing how critical our own inner voice can be and
how harsh we are to ourselves. If someone else talked to us like we think
about ourselves, we would disassociate ourselves from that person for being
so rude. For some reason, we accept the negative, critical and restrictive
abuse we heap onto ourselves. It doesn’t have to be this way and you can
change the internal conversation in your mind. It is possible to alter the
negative feedback loop to a positive, internal monologue. Immediately
replace any negative self-talk with positive and encouraging thoughts.
Remind yourself of all the times you succeeded and overcame the odds.
Remind yourself of past accomplishments. When you are feeling the negative
feedback loop, quickly substitute with a story of one of your successes—no
matter how inconsequential. Will yourself to succeed. There are enough
negative people out there; you don’t need to be brought down with your own
negative thoughts of failure.
Also, close your eyes and visualize yourself in that new job or at least not in
your current role. The idea of getting away from a heinous and toxic boss is
one thing, but to picture how great it would be is another. See yourself in a
new office, surrounded by great people, having an easier commute to the
work and feeling appreciated. Hold onto to that vision. Replay it in your
mind when times get tough.
6. Know your weak spots and find help to fix them.
We are all good at some things and pretty bad at most things. Focus on your
core strengths and abilities. When it comes to your weaknesses, don't feel
bad; seek assistance. If you are an introvert, seek a career coach or a good
recruiter who could help you become more comfortable with interviewing.
The recruiter could help you craft an elevator pitch in which you could sell
yourself. They could also work with you to improve on how to answer
challenging interview questions.

5. 7. Don’t obsess over the big dream of a new job, but focus on each small,
incremental step.
Having a big, audacious goal—such as getting a new job—could be daunting
and overwhelming. It could look so large and scary that you become
paralyzed into inaction. To make it easier on yourself mentally, break up the
big dream into smaller, easily-achievable pieces. Return to your daily game
plan and focus on each small part.
Since it is challenging to stay focused and motivated working toward an
ambitious goal in the face of obstacles and setbacks, take the time to
congratulate yourself and celebrate all the small milestones along the way.
By celebrating the triumphs, you will gain more confidence. You will
recognize that it is possible to succeed. Most average people sprinkle their
achievements everywhere and pile up their failures. Consequently, they see a
mountain of failures and can’t find the success. You are not average; you are
better. Sprinkle the failures and pile-up the successes high. Each little victory
spurs you onto bigger victories. It will keep you psyched-up, confident and
motivated.
The ultimate goal of finding a new job will then happen on its own without all
the worry and anxiety.
8. Think of a reason, purpose or deeper meaning why you are searching for a
new job.
When you are working on behalf of something larger than yourself, the
likelihood of success intensifies. There is something hardwired into us that if
we are acting on behalf of a meaningful endeavor that will help others, it
makes us unstoppable and invincible. It could be because you want to earn
more money and the chance to improve your career to create a better life for
your spouse and children. Maybe it is to get out of an untenable situation
with a horrific boss. Continually remind yourself, especially when things look

6. bleak, about the reasons for looking. Use it as a mantra that you tell yourself
throughout the day. When things look dark, remind yourself that “I am doing
this for the benefit of my kids and I will do whatever it takes to move
forward. They deserve the best and I will do everything in my power to make
their lives better.” Clearly, you can substitute your own personalized mantra.
By doing this, it will give you the internal strength to forge ahead. When you
do things for others that are bigger than yourself, you can achieve greatness
and overcome any obstacles in your way.
Based upon my experience as an executive recruiter, by following these tips,
you will become confident, empowered and emotionally and mentally
prepared to start and ultimately succeed in your job search.
