Beyond ME, Inc.

Landing an opportunity is not the end of being the CEO of ME, Inc. but the beginning of your next chapter. Being the CEO of ME, Inc. doesn’t stop just because you’ve successfully navigated your way into a targeted position or landed that ideal client; this entire program is much more than simply “landing a job.” If you’ve internalized the CEO of ME, Inc. paradigm, you now recognize its unique value as a powerful business strategy, too. Simply put, you become a business leader within your network not only because it’s the right thing to for the network, but because it’s the right thing to do for your own business. There is an obvious mutual benefit in this type of business model. In my view, there are three levels of CEOs that emerge from applying the principles: 1. CEOs of ME, Inc. Many people will master and implement the job search methodology and CEO mind-set that I teach and go on to find opportunities whenever they’re needed. They are winners in the race for 21st century jobs because they’ve discovered that the process really works. 2. CEOs as Networking Leaders A smaller group will move into positions of leadership, recognizing the value of helping others while improving their branding, exposure, and ever-expanding networks, all of which nourish their own CEO of ME, Inc. business. Networking Leaders are winners in the race for 21st century jobs because they see the long-term potential of owning their careers and establishing business rules based on reciprocity and trust. They recognize the extraordinary business value in branding themselves as someone who gives freely and without restriction. 3. CEOs as Strategic Partners Finally, there is an elite group of entrepreneurs who combine the CEO of ME, Inc. paradigm with dynamic leadership to develop truly creative and powerful business strategies. Their unique application of the ME, Inc. paradigm is built on tapping the immense reserves of talent and opportunity within their networks to promote products and services that are in high demand. Once the profit motive is appropriately factored in to the business model — while preserving trust, integrity, and the inherent value of relationships — we now have a strategic partner, the highest level of CEO career and business management. You can do it … I know you can!
