Use the Power of a Motivating Force and Routine to Drive You Forward
By: Harrison Barnes


Employment Research Institute's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed how a motivating force can drive you towards achieving your goals.

If you look at the lives of the super successful, you will notice that they have a motivating force or sheer routine and discipline constantly urging them ahead. Most people need a combination of a motivational force and a strong disciplining routine to achieve their potential. However, many people do not need a routine; they can be successful on the sheer force of their internal motivating force. Harrison analyzes this motivating force as an intense emotion that drives people to put in their best. This force can often have its roots in a person’s childhood whereby they are driven either by love, or by the negative emotions of anger or lack of something they wanted and couldn’t have as children. Both, anger and love can drive a person towards greater heights. Many people are driven to do better by their intense love towards a loved one. Similarly, feelings of anger resulting from criticism in the childhood for example, can also spur people on to do better.

There are also instances of emotions being used to fuel negative goals; in fact, this is the basis of several crimes where people use their anger or resentment as the primary driver. People often go astray in their lives when they channelize their emotions into negative goals. In contrast, if you are using routine to find success in your goals, Harrison feels it is important to keep measuring yourself. Unless you measure yourself, you will never find out whether you are making progress or not.

Forbes Reports 151,352 Layoffs for January Itself; Employment Authority Proposes Alternative Job Search Approach

Pasadena, CA — According to a compilation by Forbes recently, there were 151,352 layoffs at America’s 500 largest public companies in the month of January. MORE


"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."

What Our Clients Are Saying
Everything was great and I would definitely recommend it to the others.
- M.D.

I sent them out a while ago (probably a week and a half) and there were over 100. I got probably 4 interviews out of the mailings so far, but I haven't found anything yet that fits what I want to do.
- Sarah

My job search is going well so far. I have had about 11 or 12 interviews, I am waiting to hear from most and have a couple 2nd interviews scheduled.
