A FEW SECONDS FOR YOUR SEARCH: Like a thief in the night.

The company stole my idea!

A former client sent me a message recently and told me that a potential employer stole his ideas. They followed my advice, and I gave away so much value. And this employer said, "No, thank you. We're not interested." Then they did the stuff that my former clients said, "You need to do this." And he was frustrated.

H said, "How could this be? Why did this happen? This doesn't work. I'll never do this again." That was the exchange. I had to remind this client how they got their last job. And how they got their previous job was doing absolutely that. They were in the process of getting a job. They learned enough from the decision maker about what they were really looking for, which was not in the job description and didn't come out until they got to the decision maker.

And instead of waiting for weeks and saying, hey, what's happening with this role? I haven't heard from you. Am I still in process? Have you made a decision? Are you narrowing down candidates? Am I coming back in? No. My former client overwhelmed them with value, beat everybody else to the punch, did not wait to be tasked with a project or a deliverable. No. He just gave it to them in detail, at a furious pace.

And you know what they thought? We need this guy because he owns things that we need right now. He attached his value to a calendar event, wink wink. He attached his value to a calendar event and swelled up so much energy and so much value with them. They thought we need to get this guy in here that owns these things, that's empowered to do it so we don't make mistakes doing X. And, as I reminded this client, he said, oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, that did work.

He said, man, I feel burnt. And I told you that you don't want to work for those dummies anyway. Only weak leaders steal your stuff. Smart leaders want people who are empowered to do the things they own. So, as you think about the rest of the year and what you can do, you can close offers right now—big ones.

The 5, 6, $700,000 a year jobs and more. VP, c level jobs at good companies. You can close them right now, but you have to drown these employers in value and attach yourself to a calendar. I'm talking about Q1 events, big, painful Q1 events right now.

Our next event is Wednesday at 9 AM PT and will be focused on landing C-Suite jobs before the end of the year.? Yes, it's for C-level execs but lots of aspiring C-Suiters will also get value out of the event.
