Recently, I have had several conversations with new graduates and some students with a year to go to completing their degree and some just starting their college adventure. There are so many unknowns for them during this time in our world. Our conversations then would shift to that of hope and inspiration.I can think of no better example than Las Vegas!The initial odds were against the concept of building a "Oasis" in the Mojave Desert, ironically a place where people go to gamble. The investors also had to gamble with the idea and concept of what has truly become a worldwide destination for both global business, entertainment, and fun! Since we are going to be on this adventure together to ride this roller-coaster of life, like at New York- New York Casio. I wish I could sit next to each of you by the Aria pool and learn about your dreams and goals. Let me be your guide through these chapters of "How To Get A Job Vegas Style". We together will see the sights of Vegas, the behind scenes of Vegas and if you are open the behind the scene of this production called Life. I always try and find the good in things, in the ebb and flow of life. The tide of life comes in and goes out. There are storms of the sea, and this life and the sea is full of unknowns. Rip currents can take us to different locations and experiences, the waves can toss you about and then in a moment the water is calm and relaxing. The approach to "How to Get a Job Vegas Style" I hope you find this read fun, challenging, warm hearted and inspiring! If you were to interview me about what my life the way it looks like, it would not even close to how I imagined it. Totally different, from the triumphs to complete and utter despair. Finding the challenge to see the good in what those around me would say is "not so good". To learn to like to be around myself when I really did not want to hang out with me at all. In this book I think you find a fresh approach and I hope you are encouraged by the words on every page. I am on the sidelines rooting for all of you, whether you are beginning of your in the adventures in a career. It may be a time of reinventing yourself or in a season of reflection and discovery or maybe even in recovery, looking for a new start. This world and the people in it can be cruel and harsh, but other people can show compassion and support infused with love. Dream big, try to strive to be better, grow! Be the best at what you do. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Find your place in the world (what are you good at). Everyone is good at something. It takes many talents to do a Vegas production, where is your contribution? It is great to try everything if you need to discover what that something is! What I have learned, is to be open. Keep your eyes wide open, your heart guarded, but still soft and to be always in "Learn Mode", this has been my thought my whole life. I hope to encourage you to learn from my triumphs and my mistakes, that is why I wrote this book. I want everyone to succeed, to seek out your dreams, live your dreams and find peace and fulfillment along the way. What is your place in this world and what is my place as well? Since most of life is work, what does your job or career look like? Yes, there is a distinction between a job and a career, we together will look at that as well. Buckle up! the flight into Vegas can have a lot of turbulence, but the adventure awaits when you see the Lights on the Vegas Strip!! Come join me at the gambling table. I am putting my chips down on you, I believe in you. I believe everyone has gifts and talents, they just need to be discovered, like this thriving place we call Las Vegas!
