PERSONAL PROFILE

This example was submitted by a person who used the InstaGENII Method to realize her personal life goals.


As I was climbing up the career ladder, I was enjoying the life I had but was not completely satisfied with all aspects. Namely, the romantic side.

I decided to take a break from my usual dating routine. The method I chose was to create a detailed profile of my ideal partner and lifestyle. I resolved to get more involved with group activities, with an emphasis on networking with technical associates.

My primary discontent was geographic. I had been traveling for work—and even commuting to more-local jobs—for a long time, and wanted a stable home base. I wanted to return to my former home town, down south.

To achieve that part of the overall goal, I began to search for job opportunities closer to my desired home. I also joined a dinner dating group located in my desired town that met once a month. The dinner meetings offered an opportunity to vet potential mates using the detailed profile I had created, but none of them passed my scrutiny.

Then I was presented with an unusual opportunity…an unexpected life interrupt.

One day, while doing intellectual property research at a branch library that happened to be a USPTO Repository, I took a thick book of patents to a side table and, as I plunked it down on the table, I noticed a flyer pinned to the wall above the table that announced a free computer class about an operating system I had not yet worked with. I decided to attend the class, located in my target town.

When I arrived at the class, I encountered a man who was volunteering his time to teach people like me the ins and outs of a popular computer system that I knew of—and occasionally interfaced with.

During the class, I displayed better-than-average knowledge of computers (or, at least better than that of the current class), and this attracted his attention. He wandered down the aisle to view my computer display, in order to answer a question I had. As he stood beside my chair, he reached-out and touched my shoulder, giving it a slight squeeze; that got my attention.

Throughout the remainder of the half-day class, we continued to make eye contact. I thought that the instructor might fit-into my tech-oriented networking group…so…

After class, I invited him to attend the next meeting of my networking group. He agreed. One thing led to another and, as time and familiarity progressed, we moved-on from technical associates to great friends to romantic partners and then to husband-and-wife. Success!

Throughout my path up the Ladder of Success, I began to understand the role of aptitudes in connecting with the people, the position, and the location that worked for my particular situation at each step along the way.

As I became more comfortable with my business success, I relaxed my demeanor and let my unique personality shine through my professional veneer.

I took responsibility for learning about my aptitudes, developing skills that deployed those aptitudes to my advantage and, in the end, created the happiness and success I desired.
