Don't Dress for the Job You Have. Day 26 of The Total Writer Transformation

Dress for the job you want.

Presenting yourself as if you are already on top will get you there faster.

From a psychological standpoint, acting as if you are successful sets you on the correct path to achieve your goals.

If your goal is to be a dominating freelance business to business writer for the pet supplies industry, your goal is to immerse yourself completely. Create your resume with your goal jobs in mind, making sure to bring attention to similar past gigs- no matter how far removed. Remember- it's all in what you say so use words creatively! You'll want to read what B to B writers read, and read what your clients are subscribing to. Act as if you belong there.

Follow top leaders in the industry your trying to break into. Follow your dream clients, too. Add them to your Twitter feed and leave thoughtful comments to their tweets. Position yourself as if you already are the talented and sought after business to business pet supplies writer.

Don't be afraid to ask. The worst that can happen is they say no. But keep asking until you get what you want.

Live your life as if you are already the successful talent in the field you want and it will come, naturally.

Today's Challenge

Write down your dream job. Be specific. Then brainstorm what you will be doing when you get to that point. Are there conventions or conferences you will attend? Write them down. Can you attend any this year? If so, add to your calendar and make a point to do so.

Who will you be talking to and networking with? Get that started now by adding them to your social media circles.

Create a resume which highlights anything that corresponds to your dream job. Not a job that's a step toward it- the actual ultimate dream job you want.

Start living today for the life you want tomorrow.
