Video: What is success…and why you might have it already! from CareerCampSCV 2012

July 23, 2012 Leave a comment

Douglas E. Welch (http://douglasewelch.com/career) presents “What is success….and why you might have it already!” at CareerCampSCV (Santa Clarita Valley) 2012 (https://careercampscv.wordpress.com)

There has been a “perversion” of the meaning of success these days with only the extremely famous or rich being labelled as successful. Douglas’ definition of success is “if you can support yourself and and your family doing something you love.” Success is not black or white, it has many shades of grey and we are wise to remember it.

CareerCampSCV is officially sold out, but we are releasing tickets from our waiting list as cancellations come in. If you get your order in now, you have a good chance of catching those last few open spots.

Those people who registered but can’t come for some reason have been very good about informing us, so we are able to re-release their tickets for people who may have heard about CareerCampSCV late. Thanks to everyone for that. Our goal is to give every possible person the chance to attend CareerCampSCV so we will be making every accommodation towards that goal.

Thank you for making CareerCampSCV a SELL OUT SUCCESS!!!
