What To Do If You Can’t Secure A Job After Getting Laid Off

Millions of Americans are out of work and the greater part are actively searching for work. The competition is brutal and the number of available jobs are few and far between. It can be discouraging and stressful to say the least.

The first thing that you need to do immediately is cut as many expenses as possible. Depending on your lifestyle this will likely mean going without cable tv, cutting back on Starbucks, not getting your hair done, or mowing your own lawn.

Second and most important, do not panic. No matter how hard things may seem, you must believe that everything will work out. Your belief and your faith will help you through difficult times. If you believe in a higher power, trust that your needs will be met.

“He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.” -B.C. Forbes

Do not give up. With every no you are really closer to your yes. You may possibly send out hundreds of resumes and have to go on a hundred or more interviews before you actually secure a job. Just maintain a positive attitude keep in mind… finding a job is a job in itself these days.

Consider lowering your standards in terms of positions and titles. In this economy you might want to apply for jobs that are lower on the totem pole than what you are used to. If you were a regional manager, perhaps you should also apply for jobs as a district manager. Yes, the pay is less, but at least it is a job. You may have to settle for a part time position or do odd jobs to make ends meet until you get something full time. The crucial thing is that you bring in an income.

It is said that millionaires are created in times of recession. If you find yourself struggling to get a job after months of trying, create one for yourself. This might be the perfect time and opportunity to start your own business.

“What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.” -Donald Trump

In these economic times job security is out the window. My Video Talk business opportunity is growing fast and recently laid off people are making money right away!

What Would You Do Tomorrow If You Got Fired?

The unemployment rate is staggering. Every day we hear about more and more people being laid off their job. It’s a said reality.


Own A Business, Own Your Life

“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.” – Janis Joplin

What would you do tomorrow if you got fired?

Most people would panic. Maybe beg. What about you? Most people are not in a position to walk away from their job and be free of worry, but if you had a profitable home business the world would look very different.

Instead of worrying about getting laid off you could instead give yourself a pay raise every single day, as your business grows. When you have your own Network Marketing business you won’t need to settle for a paycheck that barely covers the bills.

“Network Marketing” means you get to work as part of a team and leverage the time and skills of everyone else. It’s a smart way of growing a home business.

Build A Business That Doesn’t Own You

So many “traditional” business owners get stuck in Maintenance Mode with their businesses. They end up not with a business that serves them but with a business they become a slave to, and they end up even more trapped than they were working for a boss! The same business owners write paychecks every week to all the employees but not themselves, and work 100+ hours a week trying to make their business profitable. This goes on for years, and every day is a struggle.

A Networking Marketing business, on the other hand, has none of these disadvantages. You need no employees, no crazy hours, no premises, and you don’t need to tie your money up in stock. This means almost every penny you make is profit.

Residual Income: Getting Paid Whether You Work Or Not

The main benefit of a Network Marketing business is the potential to get paid a Residual Income.

You work hard to build up your business, and your income will slowly grow into something more significant month after month. Then after a few years your monthly income from your business will be large enough for you to quit your job or retire, and you won’t have to work for money any longer! The income will continue to be paid to you. Your business will be manageable, and will continue to make a profit without you when you are ready to retire.

Best of all… you will have the full support and training of hundreds of people who have been where you are now and become successful enough to quit their jobs. This cuts your training time dramatically. It means you won’t have to invest energy and money into finding out what doesn’t work.

You will have the step by step plan developed for you – you don’t get that in any traditional business! You get to own a business instead of letting it own you.

This means you will be at life-changing income levels sooner than you might think…

Who Are You Really Working For?

Presently there are hundreds of thousands of people who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, and unfortunately they never even get to see their children awake! This is often called ‘Heads in Beds’. They see their little ones asleep when they get up early for work, and see them asleep again when they return home from work late. They have the money, but no time to have fun with it.

There are even more individuals who have lots of time, but have no cash at all. Free time is nice, but not when you are broke.

The perfect situation is to have just as much funds as high-paid folks, and as much free time as the unemployed. Would you agree that is the ideal status we all dream of? You would be in a position to do what you want, when you want, and no employer would ever tell you what to do again.

Whenever you go to work, it is not your boss that you are laboring for. The actual reason you are there busting your hump every day is for your family. If you were going to get paid anyway, with no regard for whether you showed up for work or not, would you even go?

Not many people would!

In the instance that you got paid whether you worked or not you could very well take your family on vacations, and not be concerned about how many days you are gone. It’s rather crazy isn’t it? You go on vacation to spend time with your family, but only for as long as your manager says you can…

That is a lot like being back in school. You are only able out to play whenever the teacher says, and you must quickly run back in when the bell rings, to get back to work.

It’s time to recall who you really work for.

Your employer or your family?

Are you busting your hump every day for your spouse and little ones, so they can enjoy the finer things in life, live in a nice home, go on fabulous vacations, drive a nice car, eat good food, wear fine clothes. You are earning a living for THEM, right?

Be Clear, you may perhaps love your job. And that is lovely. Continue to love your job until you can love it no more.

In the end though, it is not about buying all those things is it? If you could get the funds in a way that offered more flexibility, independence, and less hours, would you take it?

The Unemployed Graduate

I received this touching email forward the other day, enjoy :)

“The unemployment rate — now at a five-year high of 6.1 percent — is expected to hit 7 or 7.5 percent by late 2009…”–AP

An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job; nobody was ready to help him.

He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket.

With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed for him that will bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin.

The young graduate said to them “you need the prayer more than I do”.

With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the floor. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address.

He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. Alas, the proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young
graduate a photograph. this same old coin was worth $3M. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for $3M within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft, went in search of the old man and little children.

By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He inquired from the owner of the canteen who told him that they even left a note for him. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them.

But alas, the words in the note reads thus:

“You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin”
Signed God the Father,
The Son and The Holy Ghost.

Have you given all to Jesus Christ? If you haven’t, do so today and he will surprise you.

PRAYER:
Here is your financial blessing! It’s a simple prayer, you got 30 seconds?

Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly Bless my family and me. I know that you ecognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all Who believe and trust in you.

Father, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who sent this to me, but for
Me and all that I have forwarded this message on to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings.

Father God, deliver the person reading this right now and those who will read it in the near future from debt and debt burdens. Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how if we just obey you and walk in your word and have the faith of a Mustard seed that you will pour out blessings.

I thank you now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come Because I know you are not done with me yet.
In Jesus name,
I pray, Amen
