Some many people are looking for ways to stop making their boss not only million but billion and even trillions of dollars each year. Of course the reason for this trend is down sizing due fear with the changes in government like heath care, equal pay for equal work or, just effecting the company's bottom line. Now if you becoming one of the lucky ones not to get the boot. Congratulation to the extra work with out the extra pay. Let's not forget about longer work days away from your family. Also throw in no pension,higher insurance and a Christmas bonus, quit and walk out the door with the others.
Now the ones that have lost there jobs due to down sizing or what ever the company could come up with, in order to quote on quote "protect the bottom line" or just flat out said it's Obama fault. As if every one forgot how we got in the pickle in the first place.
Well, this is not a political blog so let me jump back on track. So let's start with trends and understanding how this all comes together. Before the industrial age most people worked their farm lands, mom and pop store, cleaned homes and and I can go on and on. What I need you to understand is we have made a 360 degree turn back before the industrial age.
I'm not saying this country is falling or has lost it's economic strengh. No we are still the one of the power houses in the united nations. And what we are going through now is one of the best things that can happen to us. the trend is starting all over like how clothing goes in out of style and how some sneak back. This is the same kind of thing.
only, now we are contractor, Internet marketers, bloggers/You tube blogger,MLM and real estate investor and the list goes on. We are now starting to depend on self again not on companies that will leave you just as broke when you walked through the door.
So you see we have made a 360 degree turn but this time the stakes are higher, and if you are lucky to be around for another 20 to 30 years you will see it all over again but the stakes will be the higher then. If you have lost your job but not your mind then consider your self the lucky. Especially if you have a little saving or even support of some kind you can know plan a better life for your self. Stop thinking about the past just learn from it trust me it will help you. Don't worry about having money to go back to school first, think about how you can make some money. Like how they had to due back in the early 1900. You have technology at your feet that can push you faster if you know how to think. I know most of us do that every day, not all but most.
Now that you are still in your right mind use it buy going to a quiet place and not the insane asylum. Sit and think what have I done the past years not only paid bills but what job you loved working for. this will get you started on how to create your niche.
Let me say this, what every you do make sure you love it. You have passion for it, you can work all day and not get enough of it. But keep it legal, that's the only thing that's going to sustain you and keep you motivated. You may have to at firs leave way below you means. You may even have to put your pride in the back of the closet and draw unemployment and get on government assistants till you start making money, and remember your taxes paid some of that.
You have to do what ever you have to do, so you can become more independent.
Now I know you might be reading this blog saying to yourself that your don't know what your passion is. I'm hear to tell you that you are lying to yourself. If you have lived for more then 15 years some thing has made you happy, something in your life you have done over and over again and look forward to doing it again. Get out of your feeling and get into your head. This is the time to due it because as I stated you have the gift of technology at your finger tips. You did not find what you are reading now in the library on a book shelf or out on the streets right? If you did I'm better then I thought.
Let me help you get started grab something to write with and some paper then write down where you would like to be in your life if five years from now. Looking to have a new home,car, money to travel around the world, more time to spend with your family write it down do it now.
Now that's done, find some pictures of your dreams you would like to have no matter how big. You can put them on a wall,in a box some place where only you can look at it every day and yes you need to see it every day. So much to win you close your eyes you can still see it, dream it, love it,think about it. This is your motivation that will fuel your passion to keep moving.
Now I know you are not going to like this but, you can't have a test with out a testimony so you are going to have to cut not only some things but some people lose. You know what I'm talking about? Let me help you out drinking slow down the mind, smoking and taking legal drugs shorten your attention spanned, Some friend not all, will tell you things to make you second guess your dreams. Some will even try to stop or hinder you from working and building a better life for yourself. they are all red flags, remember what's not for you is always against you. Their is no sitting on the fence. If you feel they will not support you cut them loose now and save your self the headaches. You don't have time for that trust me your are about to get out of your comfort zone and the last thing you need is road blocks you have placed there. Get it and them out now you are about to change your life and to great things with it.
When you get that done now you need to look at what you are good at. what have you done in the pass to make money. Think about what you love to do and make them come together in some kind of way. This is the start of your business plan this will get your brain thinking and you motivated. Write down your thoughts then walk away for about 30 minutes come back and read over it again. If you still feel the same way when you started writing then you are on the right track. If you don't like it then only make some changes to it don't re-write or you have just taken the most valuable thing from your business and that's time. you can get a lot of things back but time is not one of them. change some things and come back again in 30 minutes and start the proses all over again.
Do you see where this is going? You are working this as if it's your job. You do remember how hard you worked for that company just with out the boss and the office politics. What I'm saying is keep the work ethics but now you work for your self so work harder then you did for that corporate president that did not know your name or cared if your child our yourself was site.
I'm going to let you know now if you think working for yourself will be easier then working for the company you know longer work for think again. You are sales and marketing, accounting, management, customer service,chipping and receiving all of it and what doe's not get down will only take your company longer to grow. Now hope this does not have you running back to your last job begging to get back in. Now with all the hard work you will have to do let me tell you what you well get.
the ability to sell and market something you love, pay your self before you pay taxes and remember when you work from home mortgage or rent, utilities, travel to gain prospect, food and even clothing. Now managing your business and time works around your schedule, customer service is a no brainier if you worked before you know customer service. Treat people how you like to be treated and you will go a long way. chipping and receiving you will see it as your company making progress and that feeling alone will keep you from working for any one else.
The last thing I'm going to leave with you is you don't need to know how to get started just get started doing some and keep building on it every day even if you are just working on small project like making phone call. Do something and also read about your niche, talk to people in your niche market that making things happen. You tube is one of the best thing on the Internet that can give you information from people that doing the same thing you love. The last three thing is patience,faith in your self, and the ability to never give up know matter what other say.
