You can be confident that this publication is an additional voice echoing your many encouragements. Learn more about this project and how you can reserve a copy - thedyojo.com/book5 Announcing a new book from author Jon Isaacson. Challenge Accepted: Mindset and Habits for Thriving in the Modern Workplace. For business owners and managers, this latest book will be something you can hand to a young professional. Whether they're applying for a job or starting with your company. You can confidently say, "This book provides a roadmap for you to prepare your mindset and your habits. Not only to succeed in our organization, but in life." Challenge Accepted. This book outlines many of the key things every business owner and manager wants young professionals to know. Readers will receive an asset to help them thrive as they build their professional skills. This is an excerpt from Chapter 1.2 of my upcoming book, Challenge Accepted: Mindsets and Habits for Thriving in the Workplace. In this chapter I discuss four elements of career development for those entering the workforce as well as those looking to grow their roles and responsibilities. Chapter 1.2 Four ElementsWe are talking about Getting Ready so that you can Get Started on your professional journey. Whenever you face an opportunity to elevate your role or increase your responsibilities, you will revisit the Three Wheres. These are 1) Where you are, 2) Where you will be, and 3) Where you want to be. Within each of these stages, there are Four Elements that enable you to develop yourself (aka personal development, see more in Chapter 2.4) and your professional skills.
As we work to increase these four elements, something changes within us. The inner change is what prepares us to receive and thrive in new opportunities for external growth. External growth is reflected in achieving our goals. Internal growth is all of the preparation work that we do to get our mindset and habits right to face new challenges in our lives.  Increase knowledge = Increased perspective of what is possible.
Increase experiences = Increase confidence in the ability to learn new things.
Increase abilities = Increase opportunities through stewardship of knowledge and experiences
Increase resources = Increase access to opportunities
Knowledge is the most accessible of the four elements. If you are asking, “Where CAN I acquire new knowledge?” I would ask you to consider the same question with one small twist, “Where CAN’T you acquire new knowledge?” You have unlimited access to information which is an essential building block of knowledge. New knowledge has the power to expand our prior concepts of how things work and what is possible. Knowledge elevates our mindset and perspectives. For example, if you wanted to learn to be an electrician, where could you find information about this trade?
Take anything you want to learn and ask the same question, “Where CAN’T you find information and acquire new knowledge?” We will discuss all four of these elements, but to understand knowledge we have to think about how people deliver and receive new information. For more about this book for yourself or a young professional that you want to encourage, check out the Challenge Accepted landing page and RSVP your copy today.
A new article by Jon Isaacson was published in Construction Business Owner Magazine - The Three P's of Project Management. EXCERPT: Project management is an essential function of any organization offering services in the skilled trades. Project managers feel they are overutilized and underappreciated by owners, managers, subcontractors and customers. Meanwhile, owners and managers wonder why their teams cannot consistently produce profitable projects with happy customers. Digging further into the three P’s of project management can help all parties improve their processes and outcomes. Please give the full article a read and let us know what you think. If you are a business owner, manager, or aspiring skilled trades professional, check out Jon's third book So, You Want To Be A Project Manager? for more on this topic.  This week on The DYOJO Podcast we share some more property restoration history. If you listen to IAQ Radio on Fridays, you know that Cliff Zlotnik always opens the show with a question. Joe Hughes and the Z Man are the OG's of property restoration podcasting. They were podcasting before that was even an option, broadcasting live in the 2000's over internet radio. 
We speak to this restoration founding father's sons and several others about these historic contributions that birthed the water damage mitigation industry. Cliff Zlotnik shared, "His invention of the air mover was probably the most significant invention for our industry. It was a brilliant idea. It was simple. And do you know what's even crazier? His idea to put it underneath the carpet and float the carpet."  Our friends at C&R Magazine and KnowHow are joining forces once again to gather input from YOU our industry peers and will be sharing the data in the 2nd Annual State of the Industry Report.  This ANONYMOUS survey gathers critical data to establish trends, habits, and benchmarks for the restoration industry. Survey Opens: Aug. 2, 2023 Survey Closes: September 8, 2023 Results will be revealed in a Webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 1. We will also host two additional webinars doing deep-dives on two key areas of the report (TBD based on the results) on Wednesday, Nov. 8 and Wednesday, Nov. 15. All webinars are at 1 p.m. ET. If you’d like to review the questions and prepare your answers before entering into the survey, click here: 2023 State of the Industry – Questions! |
