FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Delray Beach, FL -   Oct. 7,  2012 - It's becoming a national nightmare for the working class in this country where unemployment is over 9 %.

According to a recent survey — ONLY 45 percent of today's employees are satisfied with their work.

Not surprising, this was the lowest level ever recorded by the Conference Board research group in more than 22 years of studying the issue.

Economists and experts blame soaring health insurance costs…fewer employees consider their jobs meaningful or interesting... not to mention many feel their pay is not keeping up with inflation. "Throw in the fact that TODAY'S staffs are now doing the work of two or three people and you have a tsunami of disgruntled workers! But it doesn't have to be that way, " says America's Leading Reinvention Strategist,  Peter  "The Reinvention Guy" Fogel, author of the book "Reboot Your Career: 27 Ways to Reinvent Yourself in the Workplace (If You Still have a Job!") Frederick Fell Publishers

Adds Fogel, "No matter where you in the corporate pecking order you have to realize that you are the CEO of You Inc. at your company. You are the creator of your work and financial future. That said, you have to learn how to successfully market yourself to the decision makers, colleagues, industry leaders and turn their perception of you around. Here are…

That person has been there and done it, already and he can be your ticket to helping you succeed. Your goal is to find him or her cajole them into guiding you. It's been said you need approximately 1000 hours to learn a new skill (to master, you'll need more) But if you get a mentor, you can cut that time in half.

4. Join or Create a Mastermind Group. Two heads are better than one. Five or six are ideal. Search out folks who are in respective fields (or yours) that can help you solve problems and help boost your business or skill level.
