Downsized? Earn Cash While You Look for Work

 

Have you recently been “right-sized”?

Since you’ve been laid off, have you discovered how difficult it is to find a new job during this recession?

 

Present Situation

If so, you’re in good company.  Since December 2007, the official beginning of this recession, 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 people were unemployed in April, 2009, and that was the largest number since 1948
  • 539,000 jobs were lost in the month of April alone
  • 8.9% unemployment (the highest since September, 1983), but if those 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 out of work for over a month, you may be feeling depressed, or maybe even a little panicky as you observe 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:

  1. Freak out
  2. Continue doing what you’ve always been doing (the same things that haven’t yet found you a new job), or
  3. Try something new

 

Option 1:  Panic

The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and ought to be avoided at all costs.  A little fear is a good thing, in fact, it can even be a life saver during dangerous situations by activating the flight or fight response. Panic is negative and counterproductive - it only reduces our ability to think creatively and respond appropriately 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.  Unless you’re willing to try something new, you’ll end up exactly where you are.

This economy has proved to be very challenging - good people I know have been unemployed for six months or more.  What results have they achieved - despite answering countless help wanted ads and sending out a ton of resume?  Zilch, nothing.

This economy is tough; my friends aren’t even getting preliminary callbacks about jobs.

 

Option 3:  Try Something Different

The third option - do something different - seems to be the only feasible solution.  But this leaves you with many, many options - so where should you begin?

What would happen if you were to start an online business .

  • Let this be the last time that anyone will ever lay you off, or outsource your job.
  • Let this be the last time that you exchange quality family time for long evenings or weekends at the office.

Shift gears; become your own boss!  Begin working for yourself - start your own business!

Insurers mitigate their risk of loss by spreading that risk across thousands, or even millions, of customers.

Starting an onlne business will help you mitigate the risks of this recession by spreading them across multiple customers, regions and even countries.   To increase your financial security, and income stability, apply the Law of Large Numbers to your personal situation.while building a quality life
