We all have a personal brand – one that we’ve intentionally developed or were assigned by our colleagues and communities.   A personal brand encompasses what you do, who you are, and what you have to offer organizations. Establishing and developing an intentional personal brand around your career goals and professional expertise can help professionals access additional career opportunities in the form of employment and entrepreneurship.  A positive, well-developed personal brand provides potential employers, recruiters, colleagues, and clients with an easy-to-remember concept regarding all the ..read more

4 Fresh Networking Tips for Millennials
The Motivated Millennial | Career Blog For Millennial
by Hannah Lynn

I first started networking ten years ago, when I was a very-panicked undergrad facing down an almost-nonexistent job market. Like many other millennials, I was worried that I would not find a job and had very few professional contacts I could count on to help me land a post-grad position. Networking was something that a university career counselor recommended, and I immediately tried to implement her suggestions by attending a career fair – my first networking event – with dozens of resumes in hand. No one called me in for an interview. I followed up, and still nothing. My first networking eve ..read more

5 Top Blog Posts for the New Year

Happy New Year! How is it already 2020? I hope your New Year was grand (or relaxing – whichever you prefer). My family made our annual trek to the symphony and spent a lot of time device-free riding horses in the woods (which is pretty much my favorite activity ever). I took several weeks off from the blog (yay!), along with a few weeks off of work, which provided much-needed respite. As I’m sure all you fellow business owners can relate, getting a few weeks off of the constant demands of entrepreneurship is so refreshing. I’m excited about heading back to work this week with my energy renewe ..read more

3 Tips for Celebrating the Season of Giving

by Hannah Lynn

The winter holidays are among us, and so is [what’s supposed to be] the season of giving. While the vast majority of holiday-related content we are exposed to focuses on the cultural commercialization of the term “happy holidays”, an alternative “reason for this season” is the opportunity to give to others within our communities. Buying stuff doesn’t necessarily equate giving to others, nor is buying stuff the only way in which we can give to others during the winter holidays. Finding New Meaning in the Season of Giving Before the war, celebrating the winter holidays meant attending holiday p ..read more

The Truth About Running a Business
The Motivated Millennial | Career Blog For Millennial

Running a business is glamorous, at least, that’s how it’s so often portrayed in the media. Entrepreneurs set their own schedules, make a lot of money, and have the luxury of telling everyone they don’t want to work with off because they’re the boss, right?  The realities of running a business, at least, in my entrepreneurial experience, have been quite different from the Kardashian-inspired self-employment selfies taken in the driver’s seat of a Lamborghini that are frequently posted on Instagram.  Instead, my entrepreneurial reality has felt a lot more like drinking out of the firehose of un ..read more

Social media is everywhere.

When Caregiving Turns Your Life Upside Down
The Motivated Millennial | Career Blog For Millennial
by Hannah Lynn
4y ago
I planned my first years of college around my grandmother’s dementia, courtesy of caregiving.  Not a good strategy for maintaining a high GPA, rushing a sorority, or even making friends.  While my grandmother had already suffered through several years of dementia’s wicked early stages living alone, the confusion and memory loss seemed to grow worse and worse every year. She’d drive across town and not know why. She’d forget it was Sunday and miss church. She’d show up somewhere half-dressed and totally unaware that she’d left the house sans pants.  I was terrified she was going to burn the hou ..read more

10 Financial Conversations Entrepreneurs Should Have
The Motivated Millennial | Career Blog For Millennial
by Hannah Lynn
4y ago
Entrepreneurship is very different than traditional employment where you can punch a clock, draw a paycheck, and leave work at work. Being an entrepreneur impacts many aspects of your life, from your work schedules to your personal finances. Depending on the industry, resources, and stage of development that your business is in, entrepreneurship can completely dominate and upend many (pretty much all) of your so-carefully-laid life plans.  Once you start a business, you can’t just quit it like you can a job. You have to sell it, close it down, and settle business debts which can force entrepre ..read more
