With employer branding and social recruiting defined, Audra and I moved on to the topic of finding jobs via social media. We covered multiple platforms including:

How to find jobs using LinkedIn

How to find jobs using Facebook

How to find jobs on Twitter

In today’s social world, there’s really no excuse for not understanding a company’s culture. In fact, it’s now possible for all parties, candidates and employers, to completely understand each other’s brand.

Job seekers can learn more about a company now than ever before. In the not to distant days past, job seekers were limited to what the employer wanted you to find. Today, because of social media, candidates have many places they can turn to discover what its like to work at a company.

Audra and I discuss several platforms for job seekers to review when assessing a company’s culture. We started our discussion with Instagram.

Determining company culture using Instagram

Determining company culture using LinkedIn

Determining company culture using Facebook

Determining company culture using Twitter

Determining company culture using Glassdoor

On show 52 of the BRAND New You show, it is my pleasure to welcome Danny Flood co-founder of Open World, the world’s #1 resource for active lifestyle creators.

Danny is an author, a podcaster, and location-independent entrepreneur originally from San Diego, California.

He is the founder of Open World magazine and the Open World podcast, where he interviews the world’s most exciting adventurers and location-independent entrepreneurs.

Danny has traveled to over 30 countries on four continents and during his travels He has crossed half of Southeast Asia on a motorcycle.

He’s rafted down the Amazon and climbed the tallest mountains of South America. He’s rappelled off waterfalls in the jungle and sailed across the South China Sea.

He’s even tangoed in Buenos Aires and fought Thai boxing matches in Bangkok.

Danny believes that we should live life on our own terms without the outside pressure from others.

To this end, his book, “Buy your own Island” is a playbook designed to help individuals find the love, adventure, passion and purpose they seek.

Help me welcome Danny Flood to the brand new you show.

Buy your own Island is not a book on how to buy an island. Rather, it’s a highly actionable and motivational book which I consider to be a great mix of two of my favorite books, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The 4-hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss.

This book provides the reader with an MBA in location independent lifestyle.

During our discussion, Danny Flood dispels the notion that location-independence is just for “certain types” of individuals. It really can be something we all enjoy if we have the right mindset.

Because he has “been there done that” Danny understands more than anyone the games your mind will play with you to keep you in your comfort zone.

Danny spends a good deal of time in the first section of the book walking the reader through exercises to help the reader overcome their own fears and self-doubt.

ALIBI-ITIS

We all suffer from an affliction known as alibi-itis, our secret excuses that keep us from getting what we want from life. These excuses act to postpone action and defer the things we really want out into the future.

To overcome alibi-itis help Danny Flood recommends taking small steps out of your comfort zone by “leaning in” to the edge of your comfort zone.

In Hack UpWork Danny Flood takes all of his experiences using UpWork, an online staffing website for freelancers and clients developed to connect companies with talent, and boils them down into an actionable strategy you can follow to make the most of the system for freelance work.

Companies post project based jobs and registered freelancers in areas such as web development, writers, sales, marketing and accountants review the job postings and bid on the o

Welcome to the 51st episode of The BRAND New You show THE podcast dedicated to helping you OWN your BRAND.

Each week we meet here to learn how you can use today’s technology to own your career, grow your influence and build your personal brand.

In honor of Thanksgiving here in the United States, today's show is about Gratitude, specifically the differences between a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset.

THE SCARCITY MINDSET

A lot of people I talk to about owning their brand always seem to have an excuse, or I guess it’s a reason in their mind, why they think they can’t do something or why they don’t believe personal branding is a real thing.

Most of the time, these folks exhibit what I would say is a deeply engrained Scarcity mindset.

Unfortunately for them and for us, they tend to see life as having only so much, and there's not enough to go around. Using the analogy from my discussion with Jared Easley, it might help you think of the scarcity mindset as a pie.

The scarcity mindset tells us there is only one pie in existence. Therefore, if someone were to take a big piece of the pie, it would mean there is less available for everybody else.

In this way, people exhibiting a scarcity mindset often have a difficult time sharing recognition and credit and being genuinely happy for the success of other people. When they see someone taking what they feel is their piece of pie, they become very self-centered and will do anything they can to keep you from getting a piece of pie.

Sadly this is the mindset that exists in many corporate cultures and I'm guessing this reminds you of someone you know?

The truth is, I think under certain circumstances we all can develop a scarcity mindset.

For example, do you ever take things too seriously?

Have you ever thought that if you tried something new and failed, the sky might fall so to speak?

Have you ever been concerned about what others might think about you if you do that thing you've always wanted to do, whatever the thing might be?

Do you compare yourself to others?

Do you want to write a book but as soon as you put the pen to paper you think, why should I write this book - there’s already a book on that topic.

These are all symptoms of your scarcity mindset at work and this mindset is holding you back.

When you think this way, you invite failure in into your life because your negativity becomes an obstacle on your path to success.

The scarcity mindset keeps you where you are in your life and in your work.

But, if you’re going to create a BRAND New You, you need to OWN your BRAND by moving away from the scarcity mindset and embracing the abundance mindset.

THE ABUNDANCE MINDSET

To see life through the lens of abundance takes a conscious effort on your part especially in the beginning.

The abundance mindset comes from a sense of personal worth and security. It comes from owning your brand.

When you reach this point, you are no longer concerned about what others might think, you’re not concerned about the sky falling or that someone else already wrote a book on the same topic.

Getting to this point requires a paradigm shift on your part. You have to see that the pie is no longer limited.

There is enough pie to go around.

This is an important point so repeat after me: There is plenty for everyone. Say the sentence often enough, it’ll become second nature and you’ll be well on your way to an abundance mindset.

The abundance mindset will enable you to own your career, grow your authority and build your brand.

FIVE STEPS TO GAINING AN ABUNDANCE MINDSET

1 - Focus on abundance, not lack.

2 - Appreciation what you have.

3 - Choose to see opportunity.

4 - Carefully select the company you kee
