Suzanne Freiberg listed in her blog key elements of being a successful business entrepreneur. You may ask why I am writing about business entrepreneurs. As you go through the list, you’ll  see that the steps below work for an entrepreneur and are key for a target job seeker. 

1. Determine Your Niche,
2. Identify Your Ideal Client,
3. Develop Your Unique Value Proposition,
4. Create Your Brand,
5. Prepare a Business Plan,
6. Prepare a Marketing Plan,
7. Develop a Sales Strategy, and
8. Accept failure, learn from it and re-group

If you’re a career transitioner, how are you doing with the 8 steps? There are lots of books and teleseminars on the subjects that are listed. Ask for help from a librarian. Are you at a point where you are ready to have a professional coach you on each of the steps so that you are a successful target job seeker? You may want to try contacting Summit View Career Coaching for a complimentary initial coaching session to see if career coaching is right for you.
