"You Lost Your Job! Now What!"



Join the club. It appears many, many people are looking

for work. In 2005 I've had four different jobs and only

work eight months out of the year.



Freelancing and Temporary jobs have kept me from being

on the street.



You can offer your talents/services to anyone who

can use you.



There is no more job security with companies folding,

downsizing, and thousands being laid off. What do you do?



Keep your resume up-to-date? Start A business? Get

another job? Work from home? Investigate all of them.



In starting a business, make sure you have the right

qualities to succeed in business. Be careful of

opportunities that set you up selling the same thing

you just bought into. In other words, everyone is

selling the same product/service. And everyone receives

the same marketing tools. That means you are in

competition with everyone else in the program. It

is difficult to make money, because membership

websites (opt-in lists, mailing lists) contain sellers

–NOT BUYERS. The names go round and round.



Your best bet is to find an opportunity that offers a

variety of products to sell. And use your own

initiative to find other resources to market to. And

make your own advertising materials.



If you are ready to start your own business, look to

your hobbies, your passions, and what you love to do. Set up a

business plan, stick with it, and get advice from

reputable sources, ex; SBA.



Working from home is a very alluring prospect. You

need to be very cautious here. Make sure you know

the difference between a work from home business and

a job (telecommuting). Advertisers are very clever

with their wording. Some Work From Home Opportunities

are deceiving. Here is the key. If you have to pay

for it, it is not a job. It is a business. You

don't pay employers. Employers pay you. If you are

looking for a job, be it telecommuting or at the

company, there are excellent places to search on the

web.



It can work, if you work it. You can succeed in all

your endeavors and dreams.
