“Remarkable Marketable Me” helps you share your remarkable gifts volunteering, making you more marketable along the way.
By Jean Robb
I didn’t have the best childhood. We didn’t have much, so if you needed something you had to find a way to get it. I started working at 11 years old selling candy door to door. I know very scary right, but at 11 years old all I knew was I had to sell a certain amount of candy before I could go home. When I knocked on a door, out came my foot and I didn’t move it until you bought a box of candy. The skills I learned from my difficult childhood, (my lemons) really became a blessing (my lemonade).
I learned at a really young age that persistence will open many doors. As an adult I have walked out on a stage with a tiger after Zig Ziglar and talked to over 2,000 people about overcoming their fears. I know you must be thinking…a tiger? I have volunteered for over 15 years with big cat sanctuaries and have learned you can do something you really love while helping others in remarkable ways. In today’s economy you hear lots of people say they can’t find a job. So what happens?
The longer you’re out of work, you start to lose your contacts. You’re not keeping up with the day-to-day changes in your trade. You’re simply out of the loop. The longer you’re in this position the more the fear sets in. What if I can’t find a job? I have so much to offer, how do I get someone to talk to me? Well as you can see, fear can really take a hold of you, it makes you feel like a deer in the headlights. How do you overcome these things?
First off, STOP listening to the FEAR and STOP making EXCUSES. Look, I’ve made many of the same excuses when I’ve let fear be a part of my life. I now realize that the answer to overcoming the fear is to replace it with remarkable things you can be proud of. Instead of asking why would anyone want to hire me, ask yourself why not me?
After volunteering you could say. Look at the change I’ve made in the lives of others. Look what I’ve learned along the way. Look at the skills I’ve been taught while helping others. Look at the great people I’ve met. They’ve seen first hand the type of passion I put into any job I take on. So how will this work? I have made a commitment to bring you a volunteering opportunity at least once a week. The process of volunteering can be more complicated than people may think.

So sorry for Medowlark Lemon and his family's loss...blessings, prayers and thoughts go out to them:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin. I just know Meadowlark can feel the prayers and love! I thought maybe you could share his story on your show and share the information about Meg's fund. Thanks for taking the time so share !!!!
ReplyDeleteA sweet Note to me from Meadowlark
ReplyDeleteJean you have been an angel! We so appreciate what you've been doing to spread the word about my granddaughter, MEG's MEMORIAL FUND! Meg was a single Mom & has always loved children from an early age & her desire was to own a childcare facility one day. Her boys, 4 yr. old Maliki (pronounced Malachi like in the Bible) & baby Peter were her inspiration! We believe the perfect way to honor Meg was to create the MEG's MEMORIAL FUND to take care of her two little boys (my great grandsons) & then also to help other surviving children of single parent homes who's parent has passed away to soon! Many Blessings, Meadowlark
Mr. Lemon, I had the good fortune to meet her grandchildren in Tucson a few months ago, three beautiful children Malaki and Baby Peter, is also Charles his grandson?.
ReplyDeleteI hope with all my heart that her granddaughter Meg dream come true.
A hug empathy with losing a loved one.
Mr. Lemon, in previous post I did not sayed my name, I am Ana Maria Soto, I live in Mexico. I followed his career in basketball for many years. The story of his granddaughter and great-grandchildren moved me. My daughter Olga died of cancer 15 years ago, she left orphaned her four children very young: 9, 7, 4 and 1.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I read this situation I have felt alive again the story of my daughter. I like to support the foundation of Meg. How is this possible?
