Monday Mojo- Recognize

Written on 5:49 PM by B

I have been innovatively creating title descriptions for myself over the last few months to totally encapsulate my skill set. So far I have come up with Opportunity Recognition Specialist(Can recognize opportunities in any situation), Web Navigation Specialist(Google Search Guru), and Chief Imagination Officer ( Borderline Crazy). This journey has allowed me to be creative in such ways that I have only dreamed of in the past. Entrepreneurship does have its added risks, but the incubation of college life makes it a little easier to bare. Along your journey you will need to learn to define yourself and your role within the company you are building. Let me explain to you why I have chosen those titles:

1. Opportunity Recognition Specialist- I almost drive myself crazy with all of the ideas I come up with. Most are discarded moments after conception, but others linger until I must share them with others. Thankfully I forget most of them as the excitement gives way to reality. However, allowing my mind to wander and wonder through endless possibilities has opened many doors. I look at things differently. Its hard to box in my thoughts in aconcise manner and present them to you for your use, but a couple things I can say are:
-- Start to study how other people are using what you are using only a daily basis, to make money. (ie, Facebook,Twitter,Blogging).
--Start to think of ways that certain opportunities can lend to your credibility and what you want to do down the line.
--Start to study the biography of those that do what you want to do
-- Seek out all the free help you can get in your area of passion

2. Web Navigation Specialist- I have become really good at finding anything I need to find on the internet, whether it be through social networks, emails, or a regular google search. Having these skills limits the amount of time I need to spend on trivial ordeals. Learn to navigate the large social networks by knowing who you are looking for and what the best way is to get in contact with that person. The best way to do that is through trial and error. Dont be upset if you cant find the person or you do not do it right the first time.

3. Chief Imagination Officer- I wish I had the kind of imagination that could come up with a title like that. I actually stole it from a lady who works in the property management arena. I was actually complimented for it on twitter by @markbonham. I thought it truly summed up one of my greatest qualities which is creating a vision for our team.

What are some of your favorite position titles?
