Unemployment has touched every segment of society today. It is still stinging us some 24 months after we started this slippery slope. If you are one of the millions who has already found themselves out of time, money, resources and federal aid you will have to do some more tightening. I know there are many of you who are already down to the last notch on your belt. I also know that there is great power and positive energy in knowing where you are financially every day, every week and every month. Once a family, a couple or a person has experienced this situation they have a real appreciation for the times of plenty and a stronger countenance during times of trial and lean.
Recently a nightly newscast did a series of stories on the "struggle of the family with unemployment". I saw it for the first time like many of you as a casual observer in my usual night time routine. One of the women on a video portion said something that really stuck with me. She said: "….we will still be a family…." How very poignant! No can take away your family or your concept of what that word means. In fact it means something different to every person who is a family. That night I kept reliving that statement and the way the crew had shot that piece. The mom was seen with her back to the camera in the dark looking out her window into "her world" saying these things. The next day, I did a little research online and watched the video again and I asked myself; "…if this were my friend, what would I say to her?"
How Do I Become My Own Job Generating Machine? Now that is the 24 million dollar question. Do you have any ideas about how you go about doing that?
What I would like you to do is to actually write down everything that comes to mind. Just go ahead, get out a sheet of paper and begin to list all the ways you think you could be your own job generating machine. What does that person look like? If you were writing a advertisement to place online or in a newspaper to hire someone to fill this position, what would you put down as the skills that person would need?
