As you all know, we are in historic economic times. We hit a new jobless rate of over 600,000 this past month. Our government officials said, the slide is not going to stop until sometime in 2010. This morning I was watching CNN and they had a new report on a job fair. Their had to be thousands wrapped around a building waiting for the chance to impress a recruiter. People this is going on all over our country, and its just not getting any better anywhere. So what do we do?
I am striking out on my own, and have opened an Estate Sale Company in Southeast Michigan. Every time I turn on a news cast, it just cements my decision of venturing out on my own. I see long and endless lines at recruiting fairs, and the unemployment figures are rising daily. This is definitely news you already know about, but have you made a plan to navigate your way out of this mess we call a recession.
My business is only a couple months old and I have made great strides. I'm not here to tell you if you open a business you will be a millionaire. We are here to let you know, that it is a road to find personal freedom and a great way to gain control over your future. I took the largest leap of my life by opening this business and I can tell you honestly that I am glad I took this path. Am I scared, you bet but I think being a little scared keeps you on your toes and always thinking about your next move to improve yourself and your business. So are you ready to make the leap, I hope so because it will be the best move of your life.
The first question you need to ask yourself is, where do I start? Well you need to sit down and right down all the skills you have gained over the years. You might of come out of an accounting back ground, so the natural move you might make is opening up an accounting shop. That would be perfectly fine, but don't for get that you can open a tax office. What if you are coming out of a blue collar automotive position, you might want to consider opening a turf and snow removal service. That is work is all about production, the more people you serve them more income you will make. The list goes on, you just need to investigate and find your strengths and passion. Try to find what the work that will get you up everyday. Remember if love what you are doing, it isn't considered work.
