10 Ways To Develop a Free Agent Attitude

Develop a vision of your ideal life. Include all parts of your life including your work/career, family, friends, lifestyle, spiritual endeavors, personal growth, leisure etc. Let that vision guide your choices and move you forward.

Know what your strengths, talents and skills are. Develop an offer that includes these and that sets you apart from others. Be able to articulate the advantages of your offer clearly.

Have a learning plan to fill in the gaps and broaden your offer. Watch the trends to ensure your skills and offer remain relevant.

Volunteer to do projects that showcase your talents.

Find a mentor or coach to support you.

Make a list of EVERYONE you know and put their information into a contact management program.

Make the effort to meet new people and add them to your contact management program.

Stay in touch with your network of contacts continuously. Keep them informed of what you are doing.

Begin by finding ways to create opportunities to offer your talents to others by working at home or part time. If you work for someone else this may mean moonlighting or free lancing.

Develop a “How can I help you?” attitude. Act as a referral agent for others and then ask them to do the same for you.

Re: What to do at the first roadblock? Re: What to do at the first roadblock? - Upon first discouragement, dig in and see if things are as they seem. Sometimes, even though there are several products out there that appear comparable, they are no match. Maybe they do don't a good job of what they are intended for, or maybe there are several glitches in their system, or perhaps their customer service just plain stinks. Decide how you can "one up" all of these things and decide that you are going to create a better product that more people would want. Attitude is 95% of the battle. If you feel defeated before you've done any research on any of the other products, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. Give yourself a chance and see if you can be the BEST in every way. This will get you far no matter what the venture.
