Laid Off? Earn Cash While You Look for Work
by admin on Nov.01, 2009, under General
Have you recently been downsized?
Have you discovered that it is very hard to find a new job in this recessionary economy?
Today’s Situation
If so, you have lots of company. Since the beginning of the recession in December, 2007, more than 5.7 million jobs have been eliminated. According to the Associated Press (AP), after the May 8th release of the April, 2009 unemployment numbers:
- 13.7 million individuals were out of work in April, 2009, and that was the largest number since 1948
- 539,000 jobs were lost in April alone
- 8.9% unemployment (the highest since September, 1983), but if workers who’ve been laid off and just given up or taken part-time work, are included, that number jumps to 15.8% – the highest since 1994
If you’ve been unemployed for more than a month, you may be feeling angry, or maybe even a little panicky as you see the pages of the calendar turn, with still no job on the horizon. In addition to your short term worries, you’re probably also concerned about things like being able to send your kids to college, or how to fund your retirement.
There are basically three options in this situation:
- Freak out
- Keep doing what you’ve always been doing (the same things that haven’t yet found you a new job), or
- Try something different
Option 1: Freak Out
The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and should be avoided at all costs. A little fear is a good thing – it can help us focus and energize us for fight or flight. Panic overloads our nervous system, reduces our creativity, and generally degrades our ability to respond to life’s challenges.
Option 2: Keep Doing What You’ve Been Doing
If doing what you have always been doing had been successful for you, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now. If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you can only expect to get more of the same.
Although there seems to be a little bit of a light at the end of this recessionary tunnel, good people I know have still been unemployed for six months or more. Despite doing all the “right things” (e.g, answering help wanted ads and sending out resumes), what have they got to show for all that effort? Nothing.
My friends are not even getting preliminary callbacks – and that’s even when they can find jobs to apply for in the first place.
Option 3: Try Something New
The third option – do something different – seems to be the only feasible solution. With so many options on the table, it is difficult to know where to start?
I suggest you start an online business .
- Never worry about being downsized again.
- Don’t continue to sell your soul to the company store.
Take charge of your financial security; replace your old boss – with yourself! Invest in your financial security by starting your own home business!
One very good starting place for gaining all the necessary education about internet marketing that you’ll need is to sign up for the Online Success for Beginners course.
Home businesses account for approximately 7 billion annually while providing tax benefits, more control over your time, your work, and your income. Essentially you’d apply the Law of Large Numbers to your individual situation, similar to the way that insurance companies apply that law to minimize their risks. Insurance companies spread their loss risks over a huge number of customers.
Starting an online business will let you reach thousands, and millions, of prospects allowing you to spread your recessionary risks across multiple people, regions and countries. If you were to spread you financial risk, like the insurance companies do, you’d have a greater likelihood of a stable income and financial security for your family.while building a luxury lifestyle

Downsized? Can’t Find Another Job? Earn Money While Doing Your Job Search
by admin on Jun.09, 2009, under General
Have you recently been downsized?
Since you’ve been laid off, have you discovered how difficult it is to find a new job during this recession?
Current Situation
If so, you’re in good company. Since December 2007, the official beginning of this recession, more than 5.7 million jobs disappeared during this recession. According to the Associated Press (AP), after the May 8th release of the April, 2009 unemployment numbers:
- 13.7 million people were unemployed in April, 2009, and that was the largest number since 1948
- 539,000 jobs were lost in April alone
- 8.9% unemployment, but if workers who’ve been laid off and just given up or taken part-time work, are included, that number jumps to 15.8% – the highest since 1994
If you’ve been unemployed for more than a month, you may be feeling frustrated, angry, depressed, or maybe even a little panicky as you watch the pages of the calendar turn, with still no job on the horizon.In addition to this immediate financial crisis, you’re probably concerned about the long term effects as well (e.g., college education for your kids, a comfortable retirement for you and your spouse).
There are basically three options in this situation:
- Panic
- Keep doing what you’ve been doing (the same things that haven’t yet found you a new job), or
- Try something different
Option 1: Panic
The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and should be avoided at all costs.A little fear, while uncomfortable, can be an excellent motivator – one that can help us get ourselves out of a dangerous situation by either running or energizing us to stay and fight. Panic, however, overloads our system, resulting in fuzzy thinking, confusion, fatigue, and gets us nowhere.
Option 2: Continue Doing What You’ve Been Doing
If doing what you have been doing had been successful for you, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now.Unless you’re willing to change, and try something new, you’re only going to end up with more of what you already have.
I don’t know about you and your industry, but people in my industry – good people – have been unemployed for more than six months, unable to find a comparable job to the one they left; or even, any job at all.What results have they achieved – despite answering countless help wanted ads and sending out a ton of resume? Zilch, nada.
In this recession, people aren’t even getting callbacks about jobs they’re qualified for.
Option 3: Try Something Different
The third option – do something different – seems to be the only plausible solution. With so many options on the table, it is difficult to know where to start?
Have you considered start an online business .
- Let this be the last time you have to worry about being downsized.
- Stop letting your job steal quality time from your family.
Become your own boss! Invest in your financial security by starting your own home business!
The home-based business industry accounts for approximately $427 billion annually and provides many tax benefits, more control over your time, your work, and your income. Effectively, you’d be using the Law of Large numbers and applying it to your personal situation, much like insurance companies do to minimize their risks. They spread the risk of loss across thousands or millions of policyholders.
An internet business will reach thousands, and millions, of prospects allowing you to spread your recessionary risks across multiple people, regions and countries.To minimize your recessionary risks, do like the insurance companies do – apply the Law of Large Numbers.while building a life of your dreams
