Client Case Study Jessica Williams - When I Grow Up
Client Case Study Jessica Williams - When I Grow Up Jessica Williams came into Discover Your Dream Business in the spring of 2019, and took her existing business Tech Biz Girl to the absolute next level. I just loved being able to take Jessicas not-quite-working-right business and turn it into one thats a much more authentic and aligned fit for her! The clients keep coming in, and shes able to help them work smarter at their side hustle. I cant wait for you to learn more about her below! Why did you decide to work with me? I have been following you since 2013! Its just crazy that this is the first time we are working together. I think that the application opening for Discover Your Dream Business came at a perfect time for me. I had recently lost my job and was working a part-time contract while also trying to figure out what to do next with my business. So it seemed like the universe brought us together when I really needed it. What were you doing work-wise when we started working together and what are you doing now? I was working part-time for a digital marketing company helping with community and partnership efforts. Now Im working two part-time roles doing a variety of things including customer research, editorial management and some solutions consulting. As well as continuing to build my business, Tech Biz Gurl, where I work with women who like their 9-5 but also want to create an additional income stream doing something they love. What was your biggest takeaway from our work together? I LOVED working together. You and the community were so supportive and it was really helpful to have the structure and the framework to think about my dream business. My biggest takeaway that I also tell my clients now is to keep your Nancy Drew hat on which was something you told us early on. That as we go through this process of building our dream businesses, to really put our detective hats on and look at it as a learning experience and an opportunity to see what works, what doesnt and how we might change that in the future. Think of someone who is currently in the shoes you wore when we first started working together. What advice do you have for her? I would tell her to work with Michelle! What I loved most is that we covered the building blocks of starting a business but we talked a lot about the mindset of it all. And I think thats what often keeps people stuck. You gave them a name and called them vampire voices. Those thoughts and fears of feeling not good enough, or that you are an impostor, or that you have nothing new to say. And you worked with us through those which were very loud especially at the beginning of this process. Is there anything thats been a game-changer for you when it comes to your business that you can share? Wed love a good resource or a mindset/productivity tip! My mindset tip would be: Get comfortable being uncomfortable. There will be new skills, experiences and oftentimes a lot of âimpostor syndromeâ that comes with being an entrepreneur and a side hustler. You will find that it is a muscle youâll have to continually exercise by moving forward and taking action. And one of my favorite tools right now is Notion. Its like this swiss army knife type organizational system. I can take notes, make task lists, plan content, and even use it as a CRM. Itâs like planning on steroids and so far, itâs working really well. The other bonus is that itâs really customizable which seems to work well with the different tabs open in my brain. Whats on the horizon for your business? Wed love to hear about any upcoming offerings or goals! I started my #jesspicks newsletter a few years ago and it is one of my favorite things to do every week, where I am curating resources, tips, and articles for side hustlers. I want to continue to grow and improve in 2020. My goal is to get 500 subscribers. I am also excited about this year-long mastermind experience I will be doing in Chicago next year. And my plan is to continue creating useful content and sharing things Im learning along the way. Where can we find you and your work? You can find me at techbizgurl.com. And sign up for my #jesspicks newsletter: techbizgurl.com/jesspicks. Youâll get the best resources and tips I find every week and get behind the scenes updates of my side hustlinâ journey. Discover Your Dream Business is on pause for 2020, but if youre looking to launch your dream business this year, head on over to 90 Day Business Launch and get on the list! Doors open in March so *you* can launch your business this summer (yes, really!).

White Workers Have Disproportionate Share of Good Jobs
White Workers Have Disproportionate Share of Good Jobs White workers still claim a disproportionate share of decent paying jobs, and while black and Latino workers have made gains, the equity gap has actually worsened in the past 25 years. Thatâs the major finding in a new report out today from the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, which has been examining where âgood jobsâ are in todayâs economy and who has them. âThe answer is somewhat complicated, but the bottom line is white people get them and they still get the best of them,â says Anthony Carnevale, director of Georgetownâs CEW and a co-author of the study. The center defines a âgood jobâ as one that pays âfamily-sustaining wages.â Specifically, they use a minimum of $35,000 for workers between the ages of 25 and 44 and at least $45,000 for older workers. Overall, the median salary for those with such jobs is $65,000 per person, which is about $7,000 higher than median household income in 2016. The center has previously looked at whether there are good jobs for high school diploma holders and what good jobs have been created in the years after the recession. In this study, the researchers looked at jobs, education levels, and earnings for the three largest racial and ethnic groups. About 75% of the 800 occupations the Bureau of Labor Statistic tracks pay median wages above the $35,000 threshold the researchers use. The researchers found in 2016, white workers held 77% of all the good jobs in the country, despite only making up 69% of the workforce. Black workers and Latino workers, on the other had, were underrepresented in good jobs: Black workers held 10% of good jobs, and 13% of all jobs, while Latino workers held 13% of good jobs and 18% of jobs overall. While all three groups have more workers in good jobs, white workers are so far ahead and are still moving forward, so a persistent gap remains. In 1991, white workers had 6 percentage point advantage. In 2016, itâd grown to 8 percentage points, according to the report. Those who have been successful in the new economy tend to have at least some education after high school, while those with only a high school diploma have âfaced a vicious game of musical chairs,â the authors write. Those workers with only a high school diploma are competing for 7.9 million fewer jobs in 2016 than existed in 1991. Thatâs why access to education, whether a four-year degree or a shorter program that will qualify them for âmiddle-skillsâ jobs is so important. Yet even as blacks and Latinos have earned degrees, workers still earn less than white workers. Previous research shows that 11% to 18% of the wage gap between white workers and their black and Latino peers is unexplained by education levels, industry, geography, or other measurable differences, meaning economists attribute it to discrimination. Those salary differences add up to massive sum, according to the report. The researchers estimate white workers as a group are paid $554 billion moreâ"every single yearâ"than they would be if good jobs and earnings were equitably distributed in the workplace. The result is that black and Latino workers earn lessâ"$202 billion and $352 billion less, respectively. The researchers say advantages white workers have today are due to historical discrimination, as well as educational and economic shifts that date back decades. Access to GI Bill benefits after World War II was unequal, for example, because black veterans had limited access to colleges. In the south, black veterans could enroll in only about 100 colleges, more than 25% of which were two-year junior colleges, the authors found. Greater education gave whites more access to high-paying jobs, while lending policies restricted access to housing for black Americans. Higher incomes and homeownership helped white families build wealth. In the 1980s, when the economy began to shift from blue-collar jobs to skills-based jobs that required some level of postsecondary education, that generational wealth meant white families were poised to attend en masse, even as the cost of college rose. Because the causes of current workforce gaps started in previous generations, that suggests there are still decades of unequal distribution to come. White workers have âessentially ensured dominance in the labor market for at least 30 years to come,â Carnevale said. To help, the authors suggest increased funding for colleges that enroll and graduate larger numbers of black and Latino students, alongside training to help displaced workers gain new skills. They also call for promoting equity and diversity in the workforce through measures such as increased funding and enforcement powers for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to alleviate discrimination in hiring and pay.

The Perfect Objective Statement for That Entry-Level Job -
The Perfect Objective Statement for That Entry-Level Job - This week a recent college graduate sent me her resume, along with this question: âHow can I update my objective statement to fit this specific job?â While I appreciated her recognizing the need to customize her resume for each specific application, the best way to update an objective statement is to delete it altogether. Even if youâre looking for entry-level work, the very fact that youâre applying for a particular job indicates that your objective is to acquire that job. Using your cover letter to explain why you desire this specific job will generally help your case, but adding an objective statement saying that you want the job only wastes space on your resume. Worse still, many hiring managers say one of their pet peeves is receiving resumes with objective statements that have nothing to do with the position for which theyâre hiring! For instance, someone submitting a resume for an educational nonprofit that says their objective is to be an optometrist. If youâve been in the workforce for a while, your experience will generally make logical sense in connection to the jobs for which you apply. If youâre changing careers or looking for entry-level work, the content of your resume may be less directly relevant. Resist the temptation to tell the employer what you want. Instead, use that valuable space to summarize what you bring to the table as a candidate. Not only is this a much more effective strategy for getting your resume into the coveted interview stack, but it makes the application process much easier for you as a job seeker. Objective statements get people into trouble whenever they donât match a job description exactlyâ"which requires the job seeker to tweak his or her objective each time they submit a resume. On the other hand, a summary statement capturing your essence as a candidate is something you can carry from resume to resumeâ"as well as onto other media such as your LinkedIn profile or professional blog. As you may have guessed, my response to the recent college grad was to lose her objective statement and simply sell her relevant skills. This strategy is effective no matter how long youâve been in the workforce!

Its Not In Your Head You Really Are More Anxious at the End of Summer, Psychologists Say
Its Not In Your Head You Really Are More Anxious at the End of Summer, Psychologists Say After exiting the subway and starting my walk home to my Brooklyn apartment last night, I noticed something pretty disturbing. It was dark outside. Not the gradual, lingering shadows of a late summer sunset, but actually dark-dark. And, as a panicky glance at my iPhone screen confirmed, it was only 930 p.m.As a dedicated devotee to summertime and a fairly unrealistic person to boot, Im somehow able to convince myself each May or June that summer wont end. And as another weekend finds me on another stretch of New Yorks beaches, I really do believe it that this will be the year when summer days stretch out indefinitely in one continuous loop.So it never fails to come as a shock to the ordnungsprinzip when August sunlight starts to shorten. Im reminded of what lies ahead leaving the office well after night has fallen, weekends spent huddled indoors and far away from sweat and sand and sea and my mood plummets. To put it frankly, August depresses the hell out of me, even as I try desperately to savor the summer moments that are left. The promise of winter, though, clings to the periphery of these last summer days like a cloud, and my anxiety never fails to spike.Apparently, Im not alone in this. In an As Ferrando described to The Cut, those of us who have depressive inclinations toward the end of summer find ourselves in mora of an agitated and anxious depressive state, as compared to the vegetative depressive state more commonly experienced during the winter months. For The Cut writer Katie Heany (and for myself), that means going up against a period of high-strung neuroticism and anxiety.So, what can those of us dealing with the August blues do to help us make it until autumns reprieve? Below are some tactics to try out1. Apply essential oil to your pulse points during anxious moments.I swear by lavender oil for this. Its a small thing, but the calming scent encourages yo u to breathe more deeply something many of us struggle to do during moments of anxiety, which only makes its physical symptoms worse.2. Put on a favorite album.3. Reduce your caffeine intake.4. Watch a film you love thats set during autumn or winter.As a reminder of the seasons more positive attributes5. Make sure youre getting enough sleep.6. Talk to your therapist about it.--
