“Reel” career inspiration (great for a New Year reach-your-goals recharge!)
December 29th, 2007 by Lani VoivodOkay, it’s here. That special time on the calendar when we’re all scrambling with goals, resolutions, business strategies, marketing plans, or just being the contrarian and refusing to give into the New Year crazies with grand aplomb.
Now, a lot of us don’t have the time or the energy to revamp our entire 10-Year Vision Statement, change our business model, or invent a new product or service that’s sure to launch our annual income into the Seven Figure Club. But if all you’re looking for is a quick ‘n beefy emotional boost to prod you into a successful mindset for 2008, Yahoo! Hot Jobs contributor Caroline Levchuck has written the article for you:
Movies to Inspire Your Career Goals
I gotta say, I categorically agree with her on all 10 of her recommendations. But the coolest thing about recommending Caroline’s article is that I found it (or rather, Allen found it) organically, and showed it to me. And as this funky life happens, I know Caroline. In fact, she gave me one of my first big, ongoing freelance writing gigs way back at the turn of the century, when she was working on various creative projects in NYC at the cutting edge of Internet revolution, before the bust.
What’s more, I just hung out with Caroline in the Big Apple earlier this year, when I went to cheer on my dear friend, Lisa “The Relationship Journalist” Steadman and the big launch of her first book, It’s a BreakUP, Not a Breakdown. Caroline was wayyyy kind and groovy enough to invite us to dine at The French Culinary Institute of New York City. Yum! Caroline was a student there at the time, and gave us the behind-the-scenes tour of the school, just before the extraordinary five-star dinner. In that itty bitty pic I just borrowed from Lisa’s blog post, Caroline’s on the left (then Lisa, me, and our friend Annette.).
Thanks, Caroline - for dinner AND the great movie recommendations.
“Rooooh-deee!! Rooooh-deee! Rooooh-deee!”
