Blog Post: Your mindset - helping your job hunt, or hurting it?

Is your mental state affecting your job hunt?

More and more often, people are asking me about the mental and emotional side of managing their job search. Especially if it's taking a long time, you may start to doubt yourself or your abilities, or suffer through periods of depression.

This week I talk with Julio Blanco, owner of "Envision Lifeworks," a coaching firm dedicated to helping people experience and enjoy what they love in life. Julio once coached me, and in 40 minutes produced a profound change in my approach to a particularly difficult problem I was facing.

He is articulate, compassionate and very insightful - all things a good coach should be.

Our topic is specifically about "mindset" and how it can hold you back from reaching your goals. There was so much ground covered that I broke this 45 minute interview into two sections.

You can hear the audio of this interview free by clicking here to go to my site.

In part 1 this week we talk about abundance vs. scarcity - two mindsets that can dictate what happens in your life.

* What are abundance and scarcity mindsets?
* Why do you want one instead of the other?
* How did you develop the mindset you have?
* Is your mindset rooted in your physical circumstances?
* Why is scarcity self-perpetuating?
* Can you learn an abundance mindset?
* How to be kind to yourself on the journey from one to the other?

Hope you enjoy it - next week you can hear Part 2 of this interview!
